Wear them around your house all the time when you're doing the dishes or getting ready or cleaning or whatever. Then once you're good at that practice dancing.
Awww well honey, just practice! Buy your wedding shoes or another pair of heels and just wear them around the house every day for a week or 2 for a couple hours. Also, try wearing them out to places in public. It's going to feel awkward and you won't feel very graceful at first but I promise, after a while of breaking them in, you'll feel more comfortable. Make sure you also scuff up the bottoms so that you don't slip and slide in them.
Practice, practice, practice! Especially get used to wearing heels for long periods. If you want to wear them for your wedding, probably wouldn't hurt to have a pair of backup flats in case your feet get tired.
Remember that you don't walk any differently in heels than you do in flats! It's still a heel-to-toe motion.
@helenberrycrunch: just said it. Walk normally. You see women trying to land on the ball of the foot or flat footed and they just look silly.

as PP said it's the same as walking normally ...... but i'd get a cheap pair of heels the same height as your wedding shoes and wear them everywhere..... walking on stairs, grass, sidewalks .. make your bed in them, cook in them ... oh and getting in and out of a car in them. It seems intimidating at first but the more you wear them the easier I promise!
That you guys so much!! Im going to go find my self a pair of 3" heels to start out with! :)
I'm not a shopper, hate stores, but I love shopping online.
Anyhow, I love heels. Buy tons of them, online. I learned how to walk in four inch by buying a pair I first fell in love with and it's been love with each one of my heels ever since. Which is pretty odd considering up until this past December, my other shoe was always a combat boot. Lol.
Just a suggestion; find a pair you love and rock on.
Tips for heel walking:
Ok that's all I have for now. I use to assist with the model instruction at the acting school down here in Dallas. And heels are Day 1 of lessons learned lol. Well I do fashion shows the most important thing for me is pace. I don't tr to walk to fast. I walk as if I am taking the view. If you aren't use to wearing heels, you may find yourself looking down quite a bit as you walk. THats why taking your time allows you the opportunity to get better aquainted with your shoe. Also the fellas don't mind the view, trust me! lol
Sorry it was so long... hoped it help. I was the same way at some point so I understand :)
Yes to everything the previous posters said. Try not to land flat footed. It will make you look like a clopping horse.
I recommend walking around with a book on your head since posture is important when wearing heels. :)
As someone who loves heels and almost always wears them (even on days when I walk two miles or more) I agree with what others have said - it's mostly a matter of practice. Wear them while cooking, vacuuming, etc. Try them on in the store and check for comfort, arch support, fit, etc.
I actually disagree about the book on your head thing. Yes, posture is important, especially on your wedding day, but I find wearing heels naturally improves my posture (unless they're ridiculously high or uncomfortable, but at around 3", you should be fine).
Two tips:
Be sure to break in the heels you're going to wear on your wedding day! You don't want to end up with blisters! Also, you will probably want to wear them to your dress fittings.
Here's something that really helps me when trying on new shoes or when my feet are sore after hours of standing in heels: try not to think about your shoes or the mechanics of how you're walking/stepping. Instead, focus on your posture and on walking gracefully (smoothly, with just a bit of sway in your hips). If you try to sort of glide with your torso, with your hips, etc. moving elegantly, your feet somehow figure out what to do much better than if you're focusing on them.
Have fun!
Oh, one other thing:
People really aren't going to see your shoes much under your dress, unless you're wearing a tea length gown or changing for the reception. So if you're not comfortable or confident wearing higher heels by a month before the wedding, I would just find a pair of 2 or 2.5 inch heels that you can walk in and that you think will be comfortable to stand in for hours. Trust me, you'll look much more elegant and poised if your feet aren't killing you, no matter what the shoes look like. The "Prissy" shoe by Naturalizer is fairly cute and I find it extremely wearable:

So, Im not the typical girl that wears heels everywhere, in fact the most that I can walk and handle are 2" heels, but they just dont look as cute as the 3" ones!! So, I wanna learn how to walk and dance in heels. I dont have my wedding shoes yet but I really like these ones....
