The Shoe.
Now, for some Brides-to-be, the wedding shoes just aren’t a huge factor and some may even argue that most of the time they won’t even be seen under layers of lace and tulle, so why the expense!
But… I got the fever. The shoe fever.
I just couldn’t help myself.

sky’s the limit
Now, it’s very rare to find me in a pair of skyscraper heels and you will invariably find me running around in a flat / trainer option…
However, when I do wear a pair of heels they need to be magical.
In fact, I have been know to swoon a bit over a gorgeous pair of shoes.
Your wedding day is a great reason for a splurge… isn’t it..?

Feeling Flat
If however, the heeled Bridal shoe just isn’t for you, but you still want something a little bit special then check out these alternatives…
From glittering trainers, to lace booties to a flat version of the to-die-for Valentino…

not a bride in sight
Maybe for some of you even the hint of the palest tones of Bridal white or the sparkly signature of a Bride-to-be just makes you feel… well… just a bit ick.
Then fear not, go with a simple shoe that you can wear again, a bohemian sandal for summer fancies or a colourblock heel to clash with traditions.

So which camp are you in…?
Sky’s the limit…? Feeling Flat…? Or maybe you’re a non-Bride-Bride.
Me…?
I’m in the first camp…
My own glittering champagne Jimmy’s were a luxurious addition to my wedding ensemble and are without doubt the one and only time I’ll probably splurge on a shoe.

These beauties now sit beneath a Bell Jar in my guest bedroom, preserved… Until I feel the need to rock them out again!
