How To Pick The Perfect Bridal Shoes

Spending some time to pick out the perfect shoes for your wedding is just as important as the time spent on picking out your wedding dresses. After all, you will be on your feet for a good number of hours during your wedding day, from the ceremony to the photo-taking to the reception itself where you will be expected to meet, greet and mingle with your guests. You will want something that befits the occasion and is still beautiful and elegant.

Today, we have a write-up on tips that will help you pick out the perfect wedding shoes.

Tried-and-Tested Bridal Shoe Advice

Look out for strong and sexy super high heels with sturdy, thick heel (not stilletos) that will help you stay on your feet comfortably. Major trends today include details such as T-bards, criss-cross or ankle-straps. Other fall trends for weddingd apart from the traditional white and ivory colors, include black, grey and purple.

The key things to look out for when shoe-shopping is the width of the shoe, and the heel. With proper insoles you may be able to wear shoes that are a little too long, but you will not be able to walk properly if the shoes you pick are too wide or narrow. For better balance, the heel of the shoe should be positioned nearer to the centre of your heel, rather than at its edge.

The biggest mistake brides make when picking out their wedding shoes is to grab the most gorgeous looking pair of shoes even though it may be ill-fitting for their feet in the hopes that the pair of shoes will miraculously mould itself to their size and feet. That does not happen!

Also keep in mind that higher prices and designer labels are not an automatic indicator of comfort. The cut of the shoe and the shape of the feet is what will determine if the wedding shoe you pick is comfortable or not.

Shoe sizes can vary up to two sizes among brands, so try different pairs on, or check the size charts provided at shoe websites when shopping online.

Wedding Weight Loss Tips | Tone Up Your Abs for Your Wedding

Get a Flat Stomach in Time for Your Wedding

Whether you want to admit it to yourself or not, having a slim waistline makes one look better in their clothes.

So if you are a bride with a fast approaching wedding date, you would do well to spend what time you have remaining, to do the exercises that will help you tone up your tummy.

The more time you have available, the better chances you have of quickly trimming your waistline.

Keep in mind that the road to a flatter stomach incorporates a healthy diet, cardio exercises, and other exercises that engage the core muscles.



Here is what one personal trainer had to say about how to get a slimmer waistline:

Practising good posture throughout the day is really going to give you a flat stomach. No matter what you are doing in the gym, you should try to suck in their stomach, imagining that they are bringing their belly button to their spine.

If they are on the mat or on a machine, like the knee extension machine, they should bring their lower back to the mat or make sure it is in contact with the seat.

Think about constantly activating the abdominal muscles. For instance, when you are driving, you should sit up and pull your stomach in. It can be more effective than five minutes of abs work-out because you are constantly activating those muscles.

Isolation exercises are also good - isometric holds, like planks, to develop the deep-tissue muscles such as the transverse abdominis and the internal and external obliques. That helps support your posture and develops the muscles that keep the stomach flat.

Developing back muscles is important too. Most people want to do more abdominal work than back extension exercises, but it is always good to incorporate those. It is all about muscle balance.

If you work only on your abs, then your lower back will not be strong enough to help you sit up straight. If you do not work them out, you will start to bring your body forward, rather than maintain that good posture.

To do a back extension, lie down on your stomach and raise your hands and feet so that your stomach is the only thing touching the ground.

The above tips should help you get started on trimming your waistline for your wedding day. Click here for detailed wedding weight loss tips.
