Perfect Footwear For The Perfect Lehenga
A bride should be adorned on her special day from head to toe. So, why leave the footwear out of consideration? For a bridal appearance, the choice of shoes is crucial since it adds a unique flair and raises the bar on elegance for bridal wear, assuring the bride's comfort throughout the day. From the red carpet entry to showing the wedding choreography on stage, the bride’s steps should be unhindered.
1. Jutti/Kolhapuri Chappal
This is for the bride who prioritizes her comfort over anything else. These juttis or Kolahpuri chappals are handcrafted, traditional shoes that come in a range of colours and patterns. You may choose a pair that complements the design of your lehenga, including elaborately embroidered juttis and decorated Kolhapuri chappals.
2. Heels
If you love the extra height and elegance that heels offer, choose a pair that combines both style and comfort. Platform heels, block heels, or wedges are good options since they offer more stability and support. Select heels that go well with your lehenga by trying to find ones that have elaborate patterns, beads, or embroidery. As WNW tip, we will suggest wedges would be your best choice to bring stability (say no to pencil heels!)
