Not to mention that it can be very, very hard to match a dress to boots. Whereas it is much, much easier to match boots to a dress.
Keep in mind the following factors when picking out boots:
There are many styles to choose from. Some brides want the contrast of genuine brown leather cowboy boots under a fluffy white dress. This works and can be very elegant.
However, some brides want more of a fancy boot. You can find sparkling cowboy boots with rhinestones, fancy embroidering, and all the works. Or you can find simpler yet dignified leather boots with features that stand out less.
Many brides like the idea of white cowboy boots, tope tan or light gray also combine well with some dresses.
Sometimes a huge contrast can look good also. For example, red, blue, turquoise, or yellow boots can look good with certain dresses.
Of course there are lots of beautiful boots with reptile skins that can look very fashionable also.
The length of the dress will affect the way that the boots look. This should be taken into consideration when choosing the boots. Shorter dresses will obviously leave the boots in focal view.
