Autumn weddings with vintage style brides

It is real! We are still enjoying the holidays, but we are thinking about that next wedding that we will have around the summer days. Weddings after summer always, always enjoyed very much. Motives? The days of suffocating heat finally give way to warm days, in which the temperature is still summer but much milder. Even at dusk we need to wear a long sleeve with us, although we can continue wearing a skirt or dress.

Daylight hours continue to give us a truce, and of course, the famous golden hour is now prettier than in the middle of summer. And it is an ideal time of the year to celebrate love, reunion with friends after summer and, of course, to make memories together of the most special.

With this mentality, we set out to create a set of autumn wedding inspirations that conveyed all these emotions, feelings and sensations.

Brides sandals and shoes: Inspiration for your

Surely when you think about your wedding dress you are more than sure that it will be meticulously thought and chosen. Likewise, we encourage you to take care of your wedding shoes in the same way. In Luisa Toledo we think that they require the same importance and dedication, because they are a key complement to the bridal look. Although you think they look little, they capture a lot of prominence when they walk, above all, on your way to the altar. As one bride told us, "with them you will begin your new life". And we can't agree more.

In Luisa Toledo, as you know, we are firm defenders of the "less, but excellent" and this same thought is transferred to the design of our heels. Minimalist lines, simple and above all, ultra comfortable lasts, so that on the big day you only worry about enjoying your wedding and your guests.

What to look for when choosing bridal shoes

Of course, before choosing bridal shoes, you should consider the time of the year in which you get married. It is depending on this, you can opt for beautiful sandals if your wedding is in summer, or if on the contrary, your wedding is celebrated in Autumn / Winter, you can opt for a closed-toe shoe as a perfect ally. In addition to the time of the year, you should pay attention to the place of the celebration that you have chosen to say "yes, I want". For example, if you get married on the beach, you can complete your bride look with flat sandal or espadrilles with which you can walk without problem through the sand.

However, if you get married in a place where the floor is built in stone, we recommend that you choose a thick heel to avoid compromised situations and stumbling blocks. It's a day when everything has to go perfect!

When to buy and how to prepare the bride's shoes

Never wait until the end. And even if you think you can decide on some shoes or for others, the bridal shoes must be taken as soon as possible. Among the most important reasons, is that you should take them to the tests of your dress to know the perfect length, in addition to making sure that they fit perfectly with the style, as you had thought.

The ideal and that never fails, is to choose the shoes once you have chosen the style of the dress. In addition, from Luisa Toledo we give you some additional tips (and in a personal capacity that always, we always give the brides who choose our shoes). It is important to prepare the shoes in advance to be ready for any setback that may arise.

For example, although the shoes are the most comfortable every time you try them, we always recommend giving them moderate use before wearing them on the big day and it is for simple practicality. If you use your shoes in advance, for example at home for a while each day, they will adapt to your feet and, being leather shoes, they will gradually become more comfortable.

And most importantly, you will surely avoid the dreaded chafing that can hold your day. On the other hand, we also recommend having gel padded templates on hand for the big day. Although all our shoes have gel injected under the leather insole, on such a long day and in which you will take the most important steps of your life, surely an extra comfort will not go wrong.

Select the right model according to your wedding dress

Bridal footwear is one of the trends that is reinvented most season after season. In fact, today everything is allowed and what it takes is that the wedding day is the bride herself in all aspects and details of it. In many cases, the brides manage to surprise their guests, especially women, who are the ones who look the most in every detail, including shoes. Therefore, if you are the bride and you are reading this post, we give you the keys that will help you choose the perfect wedding shoe.

- Touch of color: we see it everywhere. More and more brides are choosing to give a touch of color with their shoes to their styling. This detail fits all dresses, whatever style they are. Our advice: choose timeless and basic shoes that attract attention for color and not for extravagant design.

- Sandals: wide heel or thin heel, stylize a lot and sure that if you choose a bold color or a metallic, you can reuse them with it as a guest.

- Lounge shoes: classic, timeless and never, never fail. Obviously, it will depend on the style of the dress you have chosen, but they can certainly be the best option. Since both a minimalist and simple dress as if it were a princess design, the lounge shoes will always work 100%.

- Wedges: ideal and designed for both brides who want a second shoe change to enjoy the dance and the after party, but they are also perfect if the wedding celebration takes place on the coast and in summer. You will give everything and endure until the end of the party.

Among the materials you will find for the bride's shoes is the leather, suede or patent leather.

Heel height is also important

Comfort and good sense above all. It is important to opt for quality wedding shoes that are comfortable for you.

- High: the heel from 10 cm. It is ideal if you are short and want to enhance your figure. In addition, if you are one of the lucky ones who endures daily with them and do not want to give up the elegant they bring, do not hesitate and for them.

- Midi (our favorite): the medium heel is the most common, it is between 7-8cm. Undoubtedly the one that most brides choose today, since in our day to day we usually wear comfortable shoes and we are also familiar with them for special occasions. In addition, the medium heel is ideal if you have a stature similar to that of your partner.

- Low: the heel height between 4-7 cm. It is perfect for all those who want to wear special shoes on their wedding day but also want to give absolutely EVERYTHING. And of course, also for all those who feel much more comfortable with a low heel.

- Flat: in many cases it is becoming one of the favorite options of the most daring brides today. And even if it is a flat shoe for the bride, there are designs in a thousand ways that will make you look equally elegant and feminine.

- Wedge: like flat shoes, the wedge is imposed as the perfect option for all those who choose comfort or who are looking for a change for a moment of celebration.

Undoubtedly, trends in the bridal world are advancing and are at the forefront of today. Everything can be carried and you can always (and should) be, the bride you want to be.
