Just a few tips to make sure you are dancing the night away.

•  Wear your shoes around the house or office at least a week before the wedding.  Let your feet get used to the new pressure points, so you don’t develop blisters the day of the wedding.
•  Spray your feet with an anti-perspirant to avoid hot, sticky feet.  This also helps if your shoes are dyed since you don’t want your feet to be a lovely shade of claret.
•  Do a little dance in the driveway or on the sidewalk to rough up the bottom of your shoes. We want you to walk down the aisle, not slide.
•  If you are wearing different shoes for the reception and the heel is lower keep in mind your hem will be too!  If you are dancing you might want to pin up the front of your dress to avoid an embarrassing fall.
•  If your feet swell in hot weather make sure you are well hydrated and that you put your feet up for a few minutes before the wedding.
•  Lightly powder the inside of your shoes to avoid rubbing.
•  Bring moleskin (you can purchase at most drug stores) that you can place on your foot if you develop a sore spot.
•  Try Foot Petals (available at Alicia’s Bridal) to cushion all the right places like the ball of your foot, the back of your heel etc. Comfort is not overrated!
•  Pick the right shoe!  If you have wider feet, don’t pick a tiny strappy sandal if your feet tend to swell. If you always wear flats don’t wear a 3 1/2” heel for your wedding without lots of practice.  If you wear flip flops remember the sound you will make walking down the aisle.
•  Enjoy your wedding!
