Sew-It-Seams

Shoes

 Closed toed shoes are highly recommended for two reasons. First, it?s traditional and second, you don?t want to see toes walking down the aisle! But there is good news, you can wear your ?Jimmy Choos? to the reception, for that saucy look, and the very important pictures. But please, no French pedicures, you can see that a mile away!!

Now, if you want to break tradition (thanks to the movie ?Sex in the City?) you can wear shoes of different colors like baby blue, Texas orange, Aggie burgundy, red etc., just to name of few of the popular ones.

Flip-flops will chew on the inside of your dress and defeat the purpose of a formal wedding, tennis shoes are hard to dance with without squeaking like a basketball player, and boots get heavy throughout the evening, so make sure you take an alternate pair of comfortable shoes that are the same heel height.

Shopping

A little makeup, fixed up hair and a pair of nice shoes can go a long way when shopping for the wedding. You feel more confident in the decision making when you are ?dressed to the nines? and know what you want. This wedding process is full of crucial decisions and the more self-assured you are, the better choices you make about your prodigious day.

Budget

Be prepared! It may seem that it all costs more that you expected, and it usually does. It's a good idea to make sure you spend the extra money where it really counts like the gown, the photography, the venue and/or the church...basically the things that are most memorable to you. The rest is really just fluff. Who remembers a wedding for the food? You want them to remember the beautiful bride and the wonderful time they had. You DON'T want them to remember the poor bride that was tugging on her dress all night, or a bustle that broke or a dress that she kept tripping on.
