From head to toe the bride's attire has had so much
symbolism and meaning. Even the shoes have a
historical reference point. Did you know, in Anglo-
Saxon marriages of the middle ages, the bride's father
takes the brides shoe and hands it to his new son-in-
law. The groom then becomes the bride's new
master. He then holds the shoe up and taps the head
of the bride three times to demonstrate his new
authority.
Whew! thank God this custom has fallen out of
favor. Today's brides are choosing shoes based on
style and comfort, not how it will feel when they get
a pounding on the head.
This issue we step you out in style in a price range
that's a perfect fit. Put on your walking shoes
because we are going shopping.
P.S.: See more shoes at my Bridal Blog, "Glorious Bridal Shoes".
