Platform shoes are certainly not for every bride, but if you feel you can bear the inevitable pinch, it might be worth it for this sparkly pair from Karen Millen.

Though they’re diamanté, they safely avoid the tacky factor thanks to the skinny straps and light silver shade of the shoe. They’re available online from ASOS for £150.
