Will you be my bridesmaid?", you’ll be fully aware of the horrendous puff-sleeve dresses in furniture-like patterns, and more importantly, the ugly shoes that immediately spring to mind.

Here’s their rundown of the must-have shoes that are wedding compatible, suitable for brides, bridesmaids and wedding guests.
