Wedding Shoes Suitable for Indian Wedding Dresses

Wedding Shoes Suitable for an Indian Bride

Indian brides usually have their feet adorned with elaborate henna designs for their weddings (see picture on the left). No doubt you will be doing so too.

Nevertheless, you will still need to get complementary shoes suitable for your wedding outfit - wedding saree or wedding lehnga - for your studio photo shoots, the wedding reception and dance parties after your traditional Indian wedding ceremony (that is often performed on a stage with bride and bridegroom bare-footed).

Here are some ideas that will help you get started on your hunt for the perfect wedding shoe. Keep in mind that in addition to beauty of the shoe, you will need to test it for comfort as well. You will be wearing the shoes for extended periods of time, and it is essential that you find comfortable shoes. You do not want your feet to ache a few hours into your wedding day!

Black Wedding Shoes

Black is suitable because it is easily matched with a variety of colours. When in doubt, do go for black. Since most traditional Indian wedding dresses are in red tones, black colour as a wedding shoe is ideal and complementary.

Indian Inspired Wedding Shoes

You can also go with Indian embroidered and beaded shoes, which are just exquisite. Lovely! However, most of them are low-heeled and they will not give you added height. That is the only drawback I see.
