The First Thing I Packed for My Wedding? My Shoes.

Before the dress. Before the jewelry. Even before the emergency sewing kit—there was one thing I knew had to go in my wedding bag first: my shoes.

Why? Because they weren’t just shoes. They were my moment. The pair I fell in love with long before I walked down the aisle. The ones that made my heart race a little when I tried them on in the living room, imagining that first step as a bride.

They were more than beautiful—they felt like me. Steady, elegant, romantic. I knew if I had them, I could handle anything the day brought. Nerves, happy tears, unexpected hiccups… as long as those shoes were waiting for me, I felt grounded. Ready. Whole.

Brides talk a lot about “the dress.” But sometimes, it’s the shoes that carry the weight of everything you’re feeling.

At Forever & Always Shoes, we design for that exact moment—for the bride who needs something to hold onto. Something that says, you’ve got this. Because the right shoes don’t just finish the outfit—they start the journey.
