We’re big fans of adding a dash of colour to your wedding outfit by choosing bridal shoes in a different hue than classic ivory. This season we’ve fallen for the spectacular Anais by Rachel Simpson. This beautiful feminine platform in Italian silk lace and satin comes in two colours, antique rose and duck egg, and have a hidden platform for added comfort. They will set you back £175 but we think they’re worth it! What do you think?
There are more gems to be found in Rachel Simpson’s 2013 collection – take a look here.

After Jedward’s Eurovision contribution last night I was wondering if anything could possibly be worse than their futuristic, tight-fitting bodysuits… I was wrong.
Say what you like, but I will personally place the following footwear on the Crocs shelf – shoes that should never have seen the light of day, regardless of how comfy they are – namely Wedding Uggs.
Not a good look on anyone really, especially not in the middle of summer when surely they’d make your feet smell like milk way past its date, but are wedding Uggs really necessary at a wedding?
According to the Huffington Post, Ugg’s I Do! Collection offers three options for the inappropriate footwear (unless you’re getting marring in severe cold conditions where they might, MIGHT, be tolerable, if there is no other shoes in sight), with prices starting at $70 for the Fluff Flip Flop I Do! (Hello! Flip-flops should be worn at beach weddings) to a whopping $225 for the Sparkles I Do! The latter would actually have fitted perfectly with Jedward’s costume last night come to think of it. Although could have made it all a bit too Gary Glitter.
Would you consider investing in a pair of wedding Uggs, or would you rather stick to your stilettos – regardless of how painful your feet may be at the end of your wedding day?
Let’s end this on a positive though. This is from the US Uggs website, so no word about them coming to the UK – for now…

Chloe – price on request
Who says you have to wear white – or ivory – shoes with your ivory wedding dress. Personally I love seeing brides’ personalties shine through the colour of shoes they opt for. For winter wedding a deep red will look gorgeous, especially if set against snow sprinkled hills.
But for a summer wedding it’s all about pretty pastels. And the latest collection by British designer Emmy is just that! And for that vintage feel these are just what you should be looking for. Inspired by the glamour of eras past, Emmy Scarterfield’s designs are made to the highest quality with kid suede and the finest leather. You can pick shoes off the shelf, or have a pair made bespoke to fit with your dream wedding and colour scheme.
Prices start from £260 (ready-to-wear) and £360 (bespoke) and takes eight to 14 weeks to deliver.
Poppy with deckchair stripe bow – price on request
Astrid – price on request
Pastel Ali – price on request

How exciting! Jimmy Choo has launched a bridal collection.
The 2012 Bridal Collection offers a fantastic selection of designs, materials and colours to fit perfectly in with your wedding look. There are also shoes for the mother of the bride, bridesmaids as well as a few sparkly purses for the bride that has to have a few things with her. Would it be wrong to buy a pair or two despite not getting married just yet..?
You can buy the pieces online or at selected bridal salons.

Wedding shoe extraordinaire Harriet Wilde has launched a floral inspired Spring/Summer 2012 collection at Harrods’ prestigious shoe boudoir. This season Harriet Wilde has fallen in love with delicate sprig cherry blossom – my favourite! – and pretty summer roses that create soft and romantic details.
The shapes include the every stylish, high heeled peep toe platforms, Betty Draper fifties courts, the more classic round toe courts (with or without platforms so you’re spoiled for choice).
Made from high quality ivory silk, this season’s exclusives are Sakura (the Japanese word for cherry blossoms) with ornate silver leaves and delicate pink cherry blossoms cascading down the heel. And if you are a bridal client of Harrods, you can get gorgeous hand painted flowers on any of the designs!
If you’re after a bit more blingtastic pair, then the Swarovskli crystal embellished Bridgette and Polly will be your faves.
Excuse me while I head to Harrods…

The tradition of a bride wearing Something Blue on her wedding day is alive and well, so I thought I’d put together a little gallery with inspiration for how you can incorporate blue into your outfit without looking like you’ve dressed up for Halloween.
Peacock fascinator
I love the dramatic effect peacock feathers add to a bride’s outfit. This made-to-order peacock feather flower fascinator is by RadoKri Fashion Accessories on Etsy and at only $110 (£71) it is certain to add a dash of something blue to your outfit. Snap on a simple birdcage veil to finish the look.

It comes as no surprise that Kate Moss didn’t leave anything to chance when it came to her wedding to Jamie Hince last month, especially anything relating to her outfit. After all fashion is what she does.
Chosen shoe maker for her wedding day, and Sex and the City Carrie’s favourite, Manolo Blahnik has now revealed it too five tries to get the shoes perfect. “We did them five times to get them the way she wanted,” said Blahnik. “My workers are the best people. I wouldn’t be here without them.”
The legendary footwear designer created high-heeled sandals for the supermodel to wear with her John Galliano wedding dress. Blahnik continued: “The shoes arrived the day before and there were too many jewels on the heel because of the long train. So we had women working up until midnight to change it.”
Wonder if the Queen of Fashion would have said “off with his head” had the shoes not been to her liking in the end…

Get the Look, Shoes

All eyes may have been on older sister Kate for the royal wedding, but Pippa Middleton got her fair share of the attention. Media – and men – first took note of the Maid of Honour in her ivory Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress, and later when Pippa wore a green Temperley gown for the reception. But did you see her shoes?
Pippa wore a pair of Aruna Seth bridal shoes, more presicely the Lynn heels in silver and Swarovski crystals. Due to popular demand – like her sister Pippa is turning into a style-queen – the Lynn design is now also available in gold and ivory, and can be yours for £525.00
