Pay less for your bridal shoes


Whether you are on a tight budget or not saving on some things for your wedding will not hurt. And yes, you can save when you buy a pair of bridal shoes. And you don’t need to compromise on the quality or the comfort. You could even buy a good pair of designer shoes at discounted price. All you need to know is when to and where to buy.


All shoe shops offer discounts at some point or the other. Shops like Nine West, Macy and Kate Spade have regular discounts. Even the bigger designers like Jimmy Choo and Vera Wang offer discounts on their line of shoes.


Well, you might wonder why they do this. Are the shoes damaged? No. The reason they do this is most designer come out with at least 2 lines of shoes every year. Usually it is in line with the season. You have one set of shoes designed for the Autumn – Winter season and another for Spring – Summer season. When it is time to introduce their new line of shoes, designers usually want to clear their shops of the older line of shoes. This is when the discount and sale comes in. The shoes are in perfect condition but they need to clear them off. To get this done fast, they offer discounts. This is when you need to pick it up.


Well, if your wedding is just round the corner when the sale happens – you are very lucky. But don’t worry if the sale is happening this autumn for the summer wear the shop still has in store and you plan to get married next summer. Just pick up a pair that you like. The only negative point would be that you will probably not be wearing the latest design when you get married. You need to choose what you want – the latest pair at an enormous price or a good price for an excellent pair.


There are some months when you definitely should avoid buying your pair of bridal shoes. Well these are the months that have the highest wedding. According to National Association of wedding Ministers (NAWM) June is high up on this list. The lowest wedding months are January and March.


Another point to consider is the place you stay. If you stay at any of the top most sought after places for weddings it would be a good idea to do your wedding shopping elsewhere. You can be sure your pair of bridal shoes definitely will be more expensive here all year through. Why? It is simple, because these places have high demand for wedding items throughout the year. According to NAWM top wedding destinations include Hawaii, the Bahamas, Las Vegas, Jamaica, US Virgin Islands.


You also have another option. Go online. You are sure to find good deals on auction sites like eBay. You can get good bargains both for new and used items. Sometimes brides sell their designer pairs immediately after their wedding. And they sell it much less than a new pair. Only thing is that they would have already been worn by someone.
