A silk saree for a wedding means hours of standing, walking between the hall and the dining area, and sitting cross-legged for rituals. The right footwear looks good with the zari border and still feels fine at the end of the day.
Pick the heel for how long you'll stand
- Block heels spread your weight over a wider base. They're a steady choice for a long muhurtham and a reception on the same day.
- Wedges give height with more support than a thin heel, and they don't sink into lawns.
- Ethnic flats are best if you'll be on your feet for many hours, or for the bride's family running around all day.
- Kitten heels add a little lift for a reception without the strain of a high, thin heel.
Match the colour to the zari, not the saree
Gold footwear goes with gold zari, silver with silver. With a contrast border, pick the border colour. A neutral rose gold or antique gold goes with most Kanchipuram silks.
Check the length of the saree
A saree is usually draped to just touch the floor. Try the drape with your footwear on, so the hem doesn't catch under a flat sole or ride up with a higher heel.
