It seems like a no-brainer to advise brides to get shoes that are comfortable – or at least tolerable – but it’s a tip Mindy Weiss finds herself repeating to her clients.

Weiss, a celebrity wedding planner and author of “The Wedding Book,” offers the following suggestions:

¢ Buy the shoes before your first gown fitting. You’ll need to wear them to each and every fitting to make sure you hem the dress to the right height.

¢ Watch out for rhinestones; they can snag the dress. If you really love sparkly shoes, run a piece of delicate fabric over them to see if they cause any snags. If you still want to wear them, cover with clear scotch tape.

¢ Flip-flops are acceptable as long as the wedding isn’t overly formal. Barefoot only works after midnight,” Weiss says.
