What Shoes to Choose for your Isle of Skye Wedding
You’ve chosen to get married on the Isle of Skye – Congratulations! You now get the exciting task or choosing your shoes – which is more important that you might think on this craggy island! You’re getting married on the wild, rugged Isle of Skye, and planning some shoes that match the location is something your feet (and your wedding photos) will thank you for. Skye’s terrain is the literal mix of rough and smooth, and your feet need to be looked after!
Walking Boots: Function Meets Fashion
I know – a pair of walking boots on your wedding day aren’t the first thing you think of! But, the Isle of Skye’s landscape can be very craggy, and if you want an adventurous set of wedding photos (which I truly love!) then walking boots are perfect for exploring every nook and cranny. Plus, they can look pretty darn cool in photos, adding a touch of rugged charm to your wedding album.
Glamour meets Practicality
I got married myself last year and I knew that I wanted to combine a bit of bling with boots that would be super comfortable and last the whole day – whatever the weather and the location! I’ve ALWAYS lusted after owning a pair of Jimmy Choos, but not the skyscraper heels, because I can’t walk in them! So I splurged on silver Jimmy Choo boots. And the were just perfect for me! Character, practicality and style!
Tartan Shoes and Boots: A Nod to Scottish Tradition
What better way to embrace the local culture than with a pair of tartan shoes or boots? Whether it’s a subtle tartan detail or full-on plaid, these shoes are a stylish shout-out to Scottish heritage. Perfect for adding a bit of local flavour to your wedding outfit, and guaranteed to look amazing in photos.
Wedding Wellies!
If you’ve had a look around my website, you’ll have seen that I sometimes take couples for a paddle in their portraits! If you’re up for some fun photos then how about some wedding wellies! You could even have a matching umbrella if you want!
The Two-Pair Trick: Pretty and Practical
Some couples opt for the best of both worlds by bringing two pairs of shoes. Start the ceremony in those dreamy wedding heels or dapper dress shoes, then switch to something more practical for exploring Skye’s stunning scenery and getting to the prettiest spots for your portraits. This way, you get those elegant shots for the ceremony and can roam the rugged landscape without worrying about wrecking your fancy footwear!
Or… Skip the Shoes Altogether!
If you’re going to head to the beach or the loch or the river, then why bother with shoes at all. Kick them off and feel the sand beneath your feet!
