When should I start looking for my wedding shoes?

Shoes shoes shoes... I might be biased but I can imagine that when I start my search I will be so excited to find the pair to match my day, dress and flowers. So that might be the answer there, work out some colours and details first, then start your wedding shoe search.

An important factor is knowing your dress length, and how much of a heel you want to ensure that nothing catches. Think about flats if you're not too much of a heel person and so might not be comfortable wearing heels all through your wedding day, grass and sand is also a deciding factor, flats might just be the best option to avoid any sinking. 

The most popular option we find at Elizabeth & Rose is hand-designing your wedding shoes to match your wedding flowers and bouquet, a service that ensures that you have a beautiful stand out piece popping out from under your dress, and something that is completely unique to you. Furthermore, it creates the most beautiful keepsake from the day and allows you to wear them after the wedding day, say on your anniversary (definitely looks a lot more acceptable than donning the dress again!)

If you do fancy a bespoke pair of wedding shoes, ensure that you order them in plenty of time for the design to be chosen and created by the designer, the lead time will usually be around 4-5 weeks depending on the design.
