You can opt for a long or a short wedding gown, but you can’t do much with your wedding shoes! Shoe hunting can be a delicate and painful process. Entering and exiting one shoe store after another with an empty hand could be quite frustrating. We all have our own idea of our dream shoes. Some like it high and some like low for fear of tripping over their own wedding gown! There are so many types of designs and colours to choose from, even white has a few tones to it!
Here are some simple ideas on how you could “fix” or “beautify” a pair of simple pair of heels.
Add Glitters to Your Shoes
What you need is a roll of masking tape, LOADS of glitters, glue and a paint brush
- Tape the base of your heels. You wouldnt want your base to be messed up, do you?
- Pour the glue into a plastic cup and add in all the gliter. Mix it thoroughly.
- Now, paint your entire heels with the glitter glue.
- Let it dry in front of a fan for 2-3 hours.
- Paint over with a layer of clear glue. This would seal the glitter to the shoes.
- Voila, and we are done!

Wearing a Pearl Anklet
Weddings are synonyms to white, classy and of course, pearls! Brides would usualy pair their wedding gown with a touch of solitaire diamond neckalce or a strand of pearls.

How about adding some sparkly little stones on the heels? It’s bound to make head turns! If you are a shoe fanatic, this is a must have.
