Even if your wedding feet will be weary after a whole day of walking around in high heels, there’s no denying it: they do wonders for your posture and your legs will look amazing! But choosing the right style can be a tricky decision. To help you with your planning we’ve taken a look at what’s out there and found that there is no need for your wedding shoes to be all white.
Whether you are the bride, a bridesmaid or attending your best friends’ wedding finding the right outfit can be tricky, not to mention the shoes. After all, the right shoes can make the outfit. If you’re after something a bit different Hetty Rose shoes are the perfect choice!
“The collection is based on a theory of re-using and re-working vintage materials in a creative and sustainable way, hand making gorgeous, feminine shoes to fit.”
Hetty Rose sources materials primarily from vintage Japanese kimono fabrics which are then made into simple, yet provocative, designs that will ensure shoe envy will be plentiful.
As each pair is handmade, brides can match the fabric or colour theme to their dress: creating a unique, personal treasure to keep forever.
We’d quite like to see Kate Middleton in a pair of Hetty Rose’s…
From £350 depending on size and style. Visit www.hettyrose.co.uk for more information.

We get very excited about pretty shoes here at Bridalwave. Now let’s be honest, which girl doesn’t!
Today we love these dazzling peeptoe bridal shoes from Freya Rose. The Grace (£370.00) is part of The Duchess Collection and is a classic peep-toe with ankle strap. In ivory duchess silk satin on the upper with an exclusive Freya Rose signature mother of pearl mosaic heel. It comes adorned with a gorgeous handmade silk flower that is embellished with Swarovski crystals, Parisian lace and ostrich feathers.
As it’s soon Valentine’s we also thought you’d like the Della Blossom Pink (£395.00) that will add a delicate splash of pink to any wedding outfit.
Ah snowy white, shiny sparkly things and love… No I’m not talking about Christmas; I’m talking about these dazzling shoes from Perdita’s Wedding Shoes!
But while we’re on the topic of Christmas, perhaps you should leave this site on your computer to drop a hint or two to your partner?
A bespoke genuine Swarovski crystal shoe detailing service, Perdita’s offers custom made shoes for as little as £300 for a luxury look! Simply choose the style you want and cover them with Swarovski crystals. I’ve been told popular choices are on the heels, across the toe or randomly scatterings over the shoe. If you’ve already bought your wedding shoes, don’t worry you can sprinkle crystals on your own shoes as well.
Each crystal is precision cut to allow maximum light refraction, and are available in clear (think diamonds), AB (which change colour with the light) or colour crystals to match your outfit or wedding theme.
The service has a four week turnaround time, so any Cinderellas getting married in the new year should leave plenty of time ahead of the big day!
As an early Christmas present, brides-to-be can enjoy a 10% discount on the service throughout December, as well as an additional 10% discount on any shoes purchased. All shoes come with a free shoe keepsake box worth £9.99.
Just head over to www.perditasweddingshoes.co.uk and add promo code CRYSTAL10 at the check-out (active until 31st December 2010).
Not normally known for her taste in clothing, Paris Hilton’s recently launched range of bridal shoes are surprisingly appealing. We particularly like the ‘Senorita’ shoe: white with an exaggerated bow, they’d be a pretty finishing touch to almost any full-length gown. All the shoes also have a pink sole – not to everyone’s tastes, but a fun addition nonetheless.
Available in four styles and at a very reasonable $120 (around £60) they can be ordered online and delivered to the UK from www.myglassslipper.com.
If you’re getting married this winter but worried about the dark and dreary nights then add some colour to the day with these hot pink shoes from Aruna Seth.
We know they may not be the first choice to an otherwise traditional wedding, but you’ll only do it once, so why not do it in colourful style. We think these shoes are perfect for brides that really want to stand out and we’ve fallen in love with the butterfly detailing, which is a perfect partner to these summery shoes. There’s also a hidden platform sole meaning these shoes won’t hurt your feet.
The shoes also come in black and ivory, but remember, hot pink shoes are really a pair you can wear again and again.
Go for a completely different wedding shoe on your big day with these gorgeous Cinderella wedding wedges by Aruna Seth.
The shoes, which come in a range of colours including ivory and cream, are adorned with over 3,000 Swaroski crystals.
The heel is also cushioned to give you extra comfort throughout your day meaning you won’t have to take your shoes off for the after dinner disco.
If you don’t want to wear traditional wedding shoes on your big day and want a pair that is funky, yet easy to dance in, then you might like this new range from Rainbow.
The wedding shoe company has launched a range of prom, wedding and hen weekend shoes, which you can wear over and over again (well as long as you pick a suitable colour.)
All the styles in the range can be dyed to match whatever colour you chose and you can also dress your page boys and bridesmaids in these cute Velcro trainers to match your outfit and make sure there are no falls on the wedding day.
Sizes range from 3-8.
We’ve all seen Runaway Bride, where Julia Roberts runs out on nearly every man she walks down the aisle to and yes, she’s been wearing trainers each time.
Now we’re not suggesting you run out on your groom on the wedding day but those brides that want a little bit of comfort on their wedding day will love these new bridal trainers by Rainbow.
Designed by Diane Hassall, the satin trainers can be hand coloured to any shade. They also have authentic eyelets and are available in sizes 3- 8.
The base shoe comes in ivory satin with bright silver linings. Brides that want to add a bit of colour can also opt for coloured shoelaces or opt for satin ribbon. The trainers cost £65 and hand dying is free at the point of sale.
Now I’ve got a bit of a fetish for all things Vintage and spend hours scouting around shops to find my outfits.
Last night, when the shops were closed I did what every normal girl would do and turned to my trusty internet friend to help me continue the search and walked into these gorgeous pair of shoes that I had to share with you.
The Buttercup wedding shoe is a Victorian style half boot wedding shoe from Diane Hassall’s new range. They are created from ivory silk and are covered with vintage style lace, which I think gives a gorgeous romantic twist.
Now at 9cm tall, these probably aren’t the most comfortable of shoes but I love the fact that you can choose from a selection of ankle ties including soft organza.
And now for the bad news, there’s a six to eight week wait on all Diane Hassall wedding shoes because the shoes are hand made to order, however we found a company, which has a pair of size 5.5 stock. Call English Bridal Couture now on 01952 883939 to get your hands on these.
If you’re looking for bridal shoes with a sparkly difference then we’ve found a new range that might have you jumping up and down.
Now, a warning, they aren’t the cheapest shoes around, so if you want bargain bridal shoes then look away now.
The new range by Aruna Seth are made from leather, thick cut satin and are embellished with Swarvoski Crystals and there really is a range for everyone.
We love the company’s Bryony shoe, which is a satin court shoe Swarovski crystal squared detailing rimmed around the edge. According to the company, you can wear these all day as they have special padding inside to stop the shoe from hurting.
However, we did warn you they don’t come cheap. These bridal beauties cost £550.
If you want to really stand out on your day then you’ll love these pearl descant snake-skin wedding shoes with a Swarovski strip at the back and embellished with a crystal bow. These are handmade one at a time so you will be extra special on your day. They cost £725.
Brides that want elegant flat shoes on their day, will love the perfect wedding ballerinas touched with diamante butterfly , which cost £325.00. Better get saving then.
You may have found your perfect match groom wise but if you’ve been looking for wedding shoes and a bag in exactly the same shade then we understand your pain.
Who would have thought there would be so many different shades of ivory, white, reds and pinks?
Thankfully the Rainbow club has come to the rescue. Its Colour Studio offers a hand colouring service guaranteed to match day or evening light.
The stress saving service is available on three of the Rainbow collections, designed by shoe genius Diane Hassall.
These include Else, which offers fun and flirty shoes, the Rainbow Club, featuring fashionable shoes and bags for special occasions, and Rainbow Couture, for the bride who craves catwalk style.
When you’re choosing your wedding outfit, a lot of people can get caught up on just the dress, but let’s not forget shoes! Possibly the only time in your life you can get away with wearing white satin heels.
These gorgeous ‘Alexandra’ bridal shoes from Freya Rose are actually Ivory Silk (that’s almost white satin) and are £295. The high back is really unusual and would look great shown of with one of the short gowns that are so fashionable right now. The shoes have a Mary-Jane style strap fastened with fresh water and silver pearl buttons.
