DO YOU TAKE THIS SHOE?
You've spent months finding the perfect, perfect dress, the perfect veil, the perfect make-up, the perfect jewellery. Now there's just one thing left - the perfect wedding shoe. Even if you're normally a footwear fanatic, discovering the most important pair of your life can be the bane of many a stressed-out bride's existence (along with the one hundred other things you need to do). So where to begin?
You probably have a picture of your ideal shoe in your head, but trying to find it amongst often strangely clunky or old-fashioned wedding styles can be a headache. If you can manage to step away from table plans and hysterical in-laws for a short burst of essential shoe time, then it'll be so worth it.
First things first. When's the big day? It goes without saying that sandals are perfect for showing off tanned toes and painted nails on a summer bride, but your tootsies will thank you for covering up in elegant pointed courts in the winter months. This is especially true if you've opted for the latest trend of retro, cocktail length dresses, although gorgeous peep toes work well with all lengths and in all seasons.
This is of course going to be your day, even if it doesn't always feel like it (Great Aunt Joan might well make a mean fruit cake, but you wanted chocolate thanks very much). Your bridal shoe should definitely scream 'you' to the world. Whether that means demure ivory satin peeps, sexy metallic points, glamorous sandals with suede and diamante or loud red sparkly leather courts. When it comes to shoes on the biggest day of your life, what you say goes.
Getting married is a brilliant excuse for a party, so if you're planning on dancing the night away as a Mrs. then remember to think about heel height. If you're more used to Converse than Cavalli, then painfully high stilettos could be a bad choice. Why not go for a godsend platform instead, or even change into a comfier second pair for the evening celebrations? It's a great excuse to buy two pairs of fabulous shoes. Well you only get married once right?
Hence, why many brides are designing their own perfect pair of wedding shoes with Upper Street's Shoe Designer. It's also a great way to find just the right shoes for bridesmaids or the mother of the bride - allowing everyone to find a shoe that compliments the overall look and feel of your wedding. And don't forget about gifts for your Bridesmaids too. An Upper Street gift card makes a really original and coveted thank you from the bride and groom!
