But if you can’t walk on it without falling flat on your face, please forget fashion. Your comfort is much important on your wedding day. Besides, designs of low heeled bridal shoes nowadays are becoming sexier and trendier and you won’t notice anymore the difference between high heeled or low heeled bridal shoes.
