You've found the perfect venue, chosen your dream dress, and picked the song for your first dance. But have you thought about your wedding shoes?
As a wedding dance instructor in Perth, I’ve seen one thing make a huge difference to a couple’s confidence and comfort on the dance floor – wearing the right shoes. You’re going to be standing and moving around for hours, so it’s essential to choose shoes that are not only stylish but also comfortable. The right shoes can boost your confidence, and if your feet are happy, you’ll dance better!
Top Wedding Dance Shoe Tip
Many brides and grooms spend months choosing beautiful wedding shoes, only to discover they become uncomfortable after an hour or two.
Dance shoes are different. They’re the closest you’ll get to wearing trainers on your wedding day! Designed for performance, they offer:
Comfort
Stability
Flexibility
Secure fit (thanks to ankle straps)
Alternatively, you can opt for beautiful flat pumps for a chic yet comfortable look.

Did You Know? Many Grooms Wear “Elevator Shoes” on Their Wedding Day
I only discovered elevator shoes after one of my grooms took his shoes off after a lesson! Modern elevator shoes can discreetly increase height by up to 10 cm. Unless someone tells you, it’s almost impossible to notice they’re wearing them.
Since then, I’ve met several grooms who wanted a little extra height – whether for wedding photos, to feel more confident, or so the bride could wear her dream high heels.
One Australian brand I highly recommend is Jennen Shoes. They offer:
High-quality materials
Lightweight designs (unlike heavier alternatives)
Customisable height options

Practice in Your Wedding Dance Shoes
Why Practice Matters
Your wedding shoes will distribute weight and grip the dance floor differently than athletic shoes. Testing them is key to mastering turns, dips, and other moves.
Pro Tip:
Once you’re familiar with your dance steps, wear your wedding shoes to your dance lessons. This helps you:
Get comfortable with your shoes before the big day
Break them in to avoid discomfort
Perfect your moves in the shoes you’ll actually wear
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re walking down the aisle, stepping onto the dance floor, or posing for photos, confidence makes all the difference. Choosing the right wedding shoes and practicing in them will ensure you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to shine on your special day.
