Bridal Shoe Shopping on the Cheap

If you are planning a spring or summer wedding then you need to buy many things, one of them being your bridal shoes. The wedding shoes may not seem that important because they do not take center stage like the dress but they still matter. 

When it comes to finding inexpensive shoes for your special day you need to be creative and to shop around. But where do you look? 

Payless Shoe Source

Payless Shoe Source is not called “payless” for nothing. This is one of the best places to look for elegant and cost savvy bridal shoes, regardless of whether you are looking for a traditional pair of shoes or a more modern looking chic pair. The average price for pumps and strappy sandals is $25 to $40. Shoes can be purchased online or at a store in your area. Visit http://www.payless.com to browse the selection they offer.

Wal-Mart

If you are a regular Wal-Mart shopper then you are aware of average costs at this retail giant. Wal-Mart may not be the height of sophistication and wedding allure, but the department chain carries a wide selection of dressy shoes that would be appropriate for bridal wear. Whether you are looking for a strappy pair of heels in off white or a pair of pumps in white be they high or low heeled, Wal-Mart is the place to look for value. If you shop at the end of the season you will be greeted with plenty of shoes on sale. You can also shop online at http://www.walmart.com.  

Thrift Stores and Consignment Shops

Thrift stores and consignment shops are full of inexpensive items such as wedding shoes. These are excellent places to find many bridal accessories as well. If you are a shrewd and patient shopper and are willing to spend some time searching, then you will be rewarded with finding shoes that have been barely worn and still have a new appearance.

If your shoes just need a little extra something to give them a little more punch for your wedding day then visit http://www.do-it-yourself-weddings.com/rhinestone-shoe-clips.html  for some rhinestone shoe clip ideas that you can make yourself with only a few dollars!

Other Tips for Bridal Shoes:

-Do not buy the first pair of wedding shoes that appeal to you. Instead try on a variety of pairs before you make a final decision.
-Always go shoe shopping in the late afternoon or evening because your feet swell throughout the day.
-Buy a pair of shoes that are comfortable to walk and dance in. Sore feet on your wedding day are not allowed!
-Buy shoes that are “you”. If you rarely wear heels then don’t buy a pair with three or four inch heels and expect to look natural wearing them.
-Try your bridal shoes on with a pair of stockings in the same color that you will be wearing on your wedding day.
-Once you buy your shoes practice walking in them at home in the days and weeks leading up to the wedding. If any new shoes need to be broken in before use, they are your bridal shoes!
