Wedding Fashion Trends for Brides: Comfortable Shoes!

New Trends in Wedding Shoes for Brides

Comfort is Key

Planning a luxury wedding is an exciting and sometimes overwhelming process. From choosing the perfect dress to selecting the right venue, every detail matters. One important aspect that often gets overlooked is finding the ideal pair of wedding shoes. While style and aesthetics are crucial, comfort should be a top priority on your big day. In this blog post, we will explore 10 new trends in wedding shoes that prioritize both style and comfort, ensuring you look and feel your best as you walk down the aisle.

Block Heels: sky-high stilettos are out and hello to block heels. This trend offers more stability and support.

Embellished Flats: This style is on the rise.  It’s for the brides who prioritize comfort above all else, embellished flats are a stylish alternative to heels. Adorned with pearls, crystals, or lace details, these flats can add a touch of glamour to your bridal look while keeping your feet happy throughout the day.

Sneakers: Yes, you are correct – sneakers are making their way into the world of weddings. Whether you opt for classic white sneakers or custom-designed kicks, wearing sneakers on your wedding day is a fun and practical choice for brides who want to dance the night away without sacrificing comfort.

Customizable Options: Personal touches……Offering customizable shoes for brides who want a personalized touch on their footwear. From choosing different heel heights to adding monograms or special messages, customizing your wedding shoes allows you to create a one-of-a-kind pair that reflects your unique style.

Low Heels: If you’re not used to wearing high heels but still want some height on your wedding day, low heels are the perfect compromise. With lower heel heights ranging from one to two inches, these shoes provide just enough lift without compromising on comfort or stability.


Colors: While traditional white or ivory wedding shoes will always be classic choices, statement colors like blush pink, or any blue shade are gaining popularity among modern brides looking to make a bold statement with their footwear choice. Pairing colorful shoes with a neutral dress can add an unexpected pop of color to your bridal look while still prioritizing comfort.

Finding the perfect pair of wedding shoes is essential for feeling confident and comfortable on your big day.

Real Wedding Gabby and Ryan

Real Wedding.  Back in fall we had an adorable couple host their wedding with us.  We want to share a bit of their day with you.

ADMIRAL ROOM- How did you two meet?
GABBY-In a mutual friend’s driveway getting ready for the Rick Ross concert back in August 2021.

Can you share your proposal story?
Ryan booked a trip to Disney World which I thought was for my birthday. He took me to my favorite spot, Cinderella’s Wishing Well, to get out of the heat. Next thing I knew he was down on one knee!

Was it a surprise?
YES!!!! It was so much of a surprise that once I realized he was down on one knee, I don’t even remember what he said and just shouted “Yes!”



Did you celebrate your engagement in any special way? party, family?
We had a very nice dinner together to celebrate. Once we got home, my parents had a small party to celebrate us.

What inspired your overall theme or vibe?
Our inspiration was a classy, elegant vibe while still giving all our guest a party and a night to remember!

Why did you choose the Admiral room?
The beauty and elegance of The Admiral Room is was made us want to booked a walkthrough. Once we met Cyndi and the rest of the staff we were SOLD! Everyone was wonderful and so on top of everything from the start which sealed the deal for us.

Is there a story behind your first dance or parent dance songs?



Our first dance song was ‘From This Moment On’ by Shania Twain. The lyrics are everything we always say to each other. Once we picked it, I don’t think there was a day that went by that we didn’t listen to it picturing us dancing with the fog and cold sparks. The actual moment of our first dance was a dream come true and more!

What was the most exciting part about your special day?
The entire day!! Walking up those steps into our reception at The Admiral Room was honestly a dream come true and very surreal to see our wedding vision come to life. Being announced on balcony into our reception was so thrilling! It was the perfect way to kick off the night!

Any suggestions, concerns, comments you’d like to share?
We got married 4 months ago and not only are Ryan and I still talking about how amazing it was but so are all of our guests. From the food, to the staff, and the overall atmosphere, everyone is still raving about how above and beyond The Admiral Room goes!

Vendors that worked together for this special day.

Color of the Year- incorporated into WNY weddings

Incorporating the Color of the Year into your wedding can create a modern, cohesive aesthetic.  Benjamin Moore embraced the beauty of quietly colorful hues with Cinnamon Slate, a purple-ish color.   Pantone color of the year,  2025, will be released soon.  2024 color was peach fuzz. Any color looks fabulous in the Admiral Room http://www.admiralroom.com

 

Here are some ideas on how to include it in various aspects in your wedding:

  1. Bridal Attire

– Bridal Gown Accents:  If the Color of the Year is bold, you could add subtle touches, like a colored sash, shoes, or embroidered details.

– Bridesmaid Dresses: Having your bridesmaids wear the Color of the Year is a popular way to integrate it.

– Accessories: Consider jewelry, shoes, or even your bouquet ribbon in the color.

 

  1. Floral Arrangements

– Work with your florist to select flowers in or close to the Color of the Year.

– Incorporate colored vases or table runners to complement the flowers if the color doesn’t naturally occur in blooms.

IMG_6631

  1. Stationery

– Use the Color of the Year in your invitations, RSVP cards, and even place cards.

– Incorporate it into your wedding website and save-the-dates as well.

 

  1. Table Settings and Decor

– Use the Color of the Year in your table linens, napkins, or charger plates.

– Accent your centerpieces with candles, glassware, or other decorative elements in the chosen color.

 

  1. Cake and Desserts

– Your cake can be decorated with the Color of the Year through colored frosting, sugar flowers, or painted details.

– Desserts like macarons or cake pops can also feature the color.

 

  1. Lighting

– Colored uplighting or projections in the reception space can set the mood in line with the Color of the Year.

 

  1. Signage and Backdrops

– Incorporate it into your ceremony backdrop, photo booth, or welcome signs for a statement piece.

 

  1. Reception and Cocktail Hour

– Signature drinks can be designed around the Color of the Year, especially if it’s a fun, vibrant hue.

– Use colored accents like glassware, coasters, or stir sticks in your cocktail hour setup.

Balancing traditions on your wedding day

Balancing tradition with personal style in a wedding can be a beautiful way to honor your roots while making the day uniquely yours. Never have we seen such a time we you can do just about anything.  Make it your love story!!

Here are a few ways to approach it:

1. Prioritize Meaningful Traditions Focus on traditions that resonate with you and your fiancé, whether they hold family significance or have a cultural or religious meaning.  Couples are finding creative ways to balance traditions and modernity in their ceremony and reception.

photography by http://www.lovelydayphoto.com

2. Blend Old and New Mix traditional elements with modern touches, like adding classic decor but with a contemporary twist.

3. Personalize Rituals If there are rituals or customs that don’t fully align with your vision, consider modifying them. 25 years ago everyone participated in the garter toss.  This is where the groom would remove the garter from the bride and tosses it into a crowd of single men.   We have not seen the toss but a few times at the Admiral Room. Instead, you could have a photo taken of the single guests and look back on this a few years later to see the differences.  Make it your own!

photo:http://www.moonshinestudiosofphotography.com

4.  Incorporate Personal Elements:

When you think of your wedding day, it is easy to focus heavily on the reception, but incorporating traditional elements can help anchor the day for its deeper meaning. A first look or first touch with a prayer or private vows, a unity event during your ceremony, a traditional blessing, or a private dinner can be beautiful ways to uphold the day’s significance while still leaving room for dancing and celebration.  We have seen a variety of wonderful ideas.  Let us know you are interested in any of these, and we will assist you in the planning.

Should I choose a First Look for my Wedding Ceremony

Doing a first look before your wedding ceremony can have several emotional and logistical benefits.  We have seen everything here at the Admiral Room.  Here are a few examples.
  1. Private, Intimate Moment: A first look gives you and your partner a chance to share an emotional moment alone, without the pressure of an audience. It allows you to fully express your feelings without being rushed.
2. Calming Nerves: Seeing each other beforehand can help ease pre-ceremony jitters, making you feel more relaxed and present for the actual event.
3. Extra Time for Photos: Doing a first look before the ceremony gives you more time for portraits, bridal party, and family photos. This can free up more time after the ceremony for you to enjoy your cocktail hour and reception with your loved ones.  The time goes so quickly, why not enjoy it.
4. Captures Authentic Reactions: Photographers love first looks because they can capture genuine emotions in a more controlled setting. You won’t be distracted by the crowd or the formalities of the ceremony.
5. Enhances the Ceremony: Many couples worry that a first look will diminish the moment of walking down the aisle. However, seeing each other beforehand often heightens the emotional impact when the ceremony begins, as you’re more relaxed and able to fully appreciate the experience.
6. Flexibility in Timeline: A first look can make the day run more smoothly, reducing stress for both the couple and vendors. It allows for more flexibility and helps avoid a time crunch later in the day.
We have seen different variations of first looks.  Some with just the couple, some with the bridal party lined up and the bride is at the end of the line to meet each other.  Some where the parents are in the room with the couple.  It is your day- you choose what you like best.
This option is great for couples looking to create a relaxed and emotionally connected day from start to finish.
Tradition is usually what is holding people back from choosing a  first look, many prefer to stick to the tradition of seeing each other for the first time at the altar.     It is untimely your decision and personal choice on what is best for you..
It is your day- you choose what you like best.
This option is great for couples looking to create a relaxed and emotionally connected day from start to finish.
The Admiral Room is a locally owned and managed business. We encourage couples to learn more about the value and importance of choosing a locally-owned business when it’s time to book your wedding venue & vendors. With locally owned venues you will often see a higher level of hospitality, better communication, and a greater desire to truly ensure your wedding exceeds expectations. We are thrilled to support wedding venue owners nationwide with a weekly shout-out in our blog.  You can find locally-owned wedding venues featured on this wedding venue map.

Why indoor venues are best in Buffalo NY

Indoor wedding venue over an outdoor or outdoor/indoor venue in Buffalo

Choosing an indoor wedding venue offers several advantages:

  1. Weather Control- One of the most significant benefits is protection from unpredictable weather. Rain, wind, extreme heat, or cold won’t disrupt your plans.
  2. Don’t have to manage space/One Space- this is your wedding and you spend a lot of time and money. Managing the flow of guests between rooms is very difficult. Maintaining the atmosphere and experience across rooms/space is complicated. By having one room for the guest to stay and hang out ( dance, bars and food) it doesn’t loose the consistence of fun! Think 1/3of the guests are outdoors playing games, 1/3 talking and hanging near the bar and the other 1/3 are on the dance floor.  Have a picnic the following day and play games. file:///C:/Users/17169/Downloads/IMG_5496.MOV
  3. Comfort- Indoor venues typically offer climate control, ensuring that guests are comfortable regardless of the season.photocredit http://www.samrenaudphoto.com
  4. Decor Flexibility-Our indoor spaces often provide a blank canvas that allows for more extensive and detailed decoration, with no need to worry about elements like wind or rain damaging delicate setups.
  5. Built-in Amenities- Indoor venues come equipped with essential amenities like restrooms, kitchens, sound systems, and lighting, making it easier to manage the event.
  6. Privacy- Indoor venues usually offer more privacy compared to outdoor spaces, which can be important for intimate or high-profile wedding.  photo credits: Lovely Day studios http://www.lovelydayphoto.com
  7. Logistics- Mainly for us and your vendors- It’s easier to manage logistics such as setting up tables, chairs, and decorations without concerns about uneven ground, outdoor lighting, or insect control.
  8. Security- we have better security, with controlled access points and secure spaces.

These factors make indoor venues a reliable and versatile choice for weddings.

When you look for a wedding venue near you, consider a locally owned venue.

Including your PET in your wedding venue in Buffalo

We here at the http://www.admiralroom.com    love our animals.
photo credit- http://www.moonshinestudioofphotography.comWe allow your dog or cat to participate in your special day.  If they can’t make it here, there are other ways to make sure your dog’s presence is seen and felt, how about:
  • Name a signature drink after your dog and place the sign at the bar.
  • Include your dog in your engagement photos
  • Ask your dog walker or sitter to bring your dog at an appointed time for photos.
  • Request your bakery to include your dog, cat, pig, horse in the cake design or cake topper
  • Feature a life-size photo cutout of your dog at the reception
  • Commission artwork of your dog to include on invitations, the event program, or other signage
  • Have a drawing on your cocktail napkins
Attention couples of fur babies: We’ve compiled some of the most adorable pet wedding photos from the http://www.admiralroom.com .
See some of the ideas so you can include your favorite best friend, your dog, into your special day.   Whether you own a cat, dog, rabbit, reptile, there are many ways to have your animal play a special role in the big day.
When considering pet wedding ideas, first take into account your pet’s demeanor and whether your venue, http://www.admiralroom.com allows pets on the premises.
Many couples choose to have their furry companions present for the “I dos” and reception festivities. Have your dog walk down the aisle with the bridesmaids, or stand with the groomsmen as you say your vows.
We have seen dogs here dress in bow ties or a tutu.   Give your pup a bowtie that matches those of the groomsmen, or a little dress so your fur baby can be an honorary flower “dog”.
We have a wonderful recommendation of a pet sitter for your animal (just not dogs):
Alexa’s Angels Petsitting LLC
She has an entire brochure on wedding packages she offers.  Here’s an example:
     Happy Taills Furever Package-
     Meet and greet
    Pet chauffer service from your home to venue, venue to home
    Assistance during the first look photos, ceremony and walking down the aisle and reception

Officiating a Wedding Ceremony at your wedding venue

Officiating a wedding is a special responsibility that can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Here are the top 10 tips to help you at the Admiral room http://www.admiralroom.com 

1. Understand the Legal Requirements

   – Make sure you’re legally authorized to officiate weddings in the location where the ceremony will take place. Check the local laws regarding officiants and ensure all paperwork, such as your ordination or license, is in order.  Mail in Officiant licenses are sufficient. Getting Married | Buffalo, NY (buffalony.gov)

2. Deciding on the Officiant

– are you interested in a family member or friend or a local officiant.  Reach out to us and we can help you. Our favorite in Buffalo is . http://www.jcofficiants.com

3.   Get to know the couple 

   – Understand the couples vision with their ceremony. Learn their preferences, religious or cultural elements, and any special requests they might have.

4. Prepare and Personalize the Ceremony Script

   – Write a draft of the ceremony script, including the welcome, vows, exchange of rings, and any readings or rituals. Personalize it to reflect the couple’s relationship and personalities.

 5. Rehearse the Ceremony

   – Practice delivering the ceremony aloud to get comfortable with the script. Try very hard to make it to the wedding rehearsal to familiarize yourself with the venue and timing.  Do you want a microphone?  Do you want a podium.  This all has to be determined prior to the day.

6. Speak Clearly and Confidently

   – Project your voice so everyone can hear you, especially if you’re not using a microphone. Practice speaking clearly and at a steady pace.

7.  Engage the Audience

   – Make eye contact with the couple and the guests. Create a warm, inclusive atmosphere by acknowledging the importance of their presence.  MAKE SURE to tell guests what to do after the ceremony concludes.  Are you getting photos or going right to the cocktail hour?  How do they get there?

 8. Handle Emotions Gracefully

   – Weddings can be emotional. If you or the couple becomes teary, pause briefly, and allow everyone to collect themselves before continuing.

 9.  DONT BE IN THE FIRST KISS PICTURE

   – move out of the way for pictures.  PLEASE move!  As soon as the couple turns to face the crowd, move to the side .

10. Sign the Marriage License

   – After the ceremony, ensure the marriage license is signed correctly by the couple, witnesses, and yourself. Return the license to the appropriate authority as required.

These tips should help you feel prepared and confident when officiating a wedding!
