Do I need to practice in my wedding shoes or veil?

May 25th, 2011 admin

If you are going to wear your veil for your first dance, then yes!  You do not want to be distracted during turns and worrying about whether you are going to step on it while dancing.  Regarding shoes, you do not have to wear “the” shoes but having something with a comparable heel width and height is important while practicing.  If you are used to wearing flats but on your special day you want to wear 4 inch stilettos then you definitely need some practice with it.   If you want to practice in “the” shoes but do not want to get them dirty then bring a sandwich bag for each shoe and cover the balls of each foot that way there is no chance for scuffing! Also, if you are going to be wearing a dress that has a big skirt, we would recommend practicing in that as well. (not the dress, the skirt that goes underneath the dress). Most women are not used to wearing gowns like that, so practicing in it is very important!
