Wedding Shoes – Skimmers For the Bride
Your wedding day is going to be long. It will be filled with motion from the walk down the aisle to the reception line to the dances with the groom. If you’re looking to last the whole time in optimal shape, skimmers may be just the bridal shoe for you.
The ultimate in comfort, these shoes are flat, flat, flat. ‘Flat’ may not mean the complete absence of a heel. But low is the call of the day, no more than 1/2 an inch, please. Available in pump or sandal, they are simple, elegant, and, oh, did we mention comfortable?
Your summer wedding will tax your feet to the max. A skimmer lets you slide through the day on a bed of comfort while it surrounds your foot with style. Picture an elegant dyeable satin upper. Add a thin bow on the vamp for just a touch of ornament. Feel the low padding in the interior and you’ll want to wear these as gloves. Your feet thank you for the attention to detail. Your heart is happy that they look so great.
Still a little too warm? Not to worry. A skimmer doesn’t have to enclose your foot like a pump. Mesh provides the perfect way to keep those feet cool. It also adds an element of design you simply can’t get otherwise. Unique, stylish, and comfortable. That’s a contemporary skimmer bridal shoe.
Oh, but you must have open toe shoes. Your husband-to-be is always remarking how cute they are so you have to show them off. And, anyway, you just love the feel. No problem. Open-toed skimmers in a bridal shoe have all the functional qualities of their day-to-day cousins. But they add so much sophistication for that special day no one will think you slacked off when it came to the shoe selection.
Sandals. Sandals. Sandals. It’s all you can think about knowing that your June wedding is taking place in a record heat wave. Problem solved. Skimmers and sandals aren’t just close friends. They’re twins that were separated at birth.
Picture that spider-web strap over the toes. Slide in and tell yourself that you never had to worry in the first place about insisting on sandals. You don’t have to plan a beach-themed wedding for these skimmers to be the perfect choice.
Don’t think you can’t have any color you want, either.
White is traditional today. But white wasn’t the tradition always and everywhere. In Morocco, bright yellow used to be the thing. In China, red was common. Even in the U.S. the Civil War bride often favored purple.
Sometimes you have to strike out for new territory. Let your bridal shoes take you there in comfort and style. Let your skimmers prove that burgundy is just as good as white. Select antique, gold, black, or anything your heart desires for your bridal skimmers. That’s the oldest tradition in the world, after all.
