On the whole, I’ve never been a big fan of bridal shoes. The majority of them manage to simultaneously look tarty and staid, there’s little variety and they can be perilously inpractical. The best I can usually summon about bridal footwear is that isn’t generally visible under the average gown…

I’m happy to say that none of these accusations apply to Harriet Wilde’s shoes. It was the net flower trim the initially got me excited about the shoes, but there’s plenty more to the range than pretty embellishment. From flat pumps to Mary Janes, the shoes are the height of glamour and very well-priced (around the £180 mark) considering they’re manufactured by expert shoemakers in Europe from gorgeous Italian silk. Yum.
