Thanks to the ultra-fashionable low block heel, you have multiple heel heights from which to choose. We suggest taking advantage of this for your reception and After Party!
PLAY WITH HEIGHT
We love the idea of entering the reception - and stepping into your first dance - in a pair of gorgeous stilettos (Christian Louboutins are among our go-to’s for their exquisite craftsmanship and style). If you’re comfortable in extra-high heels, they can make those much-practiced moves even more photo-worthy.
As the reception continues and it’s time to celebrate with all of your guests on the dance floor, switch into a pair of lower block heels. The glitter detail and modern, low block heel of the Miu Miu sandals shown above will ensure you can stylishly dance the night away without the need for a break. They also perfectly transition to an After Party look--especially if you’re planning on changing into a shorter dress, along the lines of the Mary Harper shift...how can guests resist a new outfit to compliment? In addition to the shimmer effect of a glitter or metallic detail, an airy feather or stylish bow can also provide an element of sophisticated whimsy.

White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
