One of the most dreamier settings for a wedding is definitely a stunning beach. Weather you are getting married on the sand or your venue overlooks the sea, you want to make sure your shoes will vibe with the setup. You probably already know that as a bride the last thing you want to do is to walk in the sand with a pair of heels. So do yourself a favor and choose a pair of flat sandals instead. Or have it as a back up/second pair for later, if you don't want to get tired feet. After all, it's your wedding day, you won't sit for long! Flat sandals will allow you to walk, dance and interact with your guests without looking down afraid that your shoes might get stuck.
We have a few suggestions for both chic and comfortable sandals, that will perfectly complement your dress and you will surely pack for your honeymoon too.
And if you are a bridesmaid or guest at the wedding, you are in the right place because these sandals are for you as well!

The number one thing to do when cleaning your leather sandals...
Be gentle! In every step of the cleaning process, because the leather can be easily scratched. If you just want to freshen them up, use a clean and dry soft cloth or a soft brush to remove the dirt from the surface. Brush also the sides of the soles and if there’s any caked on dirt, use a damp cloth to wipe them after brushing off with a soft brush. By removing the dust, debris and dirt before applying a damp cloth or any cleaning products, you will make sure that you’ll not end up with larger dirt stains that will be more difficult to remove.
Need to remove light stains from your leather sandals?
Consider spot cleaning, rather then cleaning the entire sandals. First, make sure you remove the dust and debris as explained above. Next, use a clean damp cloth or even a cotton swab if the mark is very small. Don’t have a leather cleaning agent? Apply instead liquid dish soap or hand soap on the cloth and use gentle motion to remove the stain. And for the final step, use a dry cloth to wipe down the cleaning liquid.
Need to remove some difficult stains?
If the stains are larger or difficult like oil, wine, syrup it is best to use leather conditioner or saddle soap. Saddle soap is both a soap (as its name suggests) and a wax used for cleaning, conditioning and protecting leather. It typically contains mild soap, lanolin as a softening ingredient and beeswax for preservation. Take a soft clean cloth and dampen it, making sure to remove the excess water. Then pour a bit of saddle soap and gentle rub the leather sandals to remove the stain. Wash off the cloth and wipe the saddle soap away from the leather. If necessary, repeat one more time. Be careful not to let the saddle soap dry on the sandals as this can create a stain itself too. The same steps can be followed if using a different leather conditioner.
