A/W 2010 Bridal Shoes

So you’ve picked out the dress and the accessories, but what about the shoes? Even if you’re wearing a floor-length gown, it is vital that you give your feet some attention on your big day.

With the rising amount of short wedding dresses, it’s no surprise that embellished shoes are going to be big news this winter. From Victorian beading to flowers, crystal and intricate straps – make sure your shoes stand out. Pick a pair of shoes that will get noticed and that compliments your dress on the big day-especially if you’re going for a shorter dress!

If you’re wearing a dress with lots of detailing, such as beading, then opt for a simpler pair of shoes, like these gorgeous peeptoe shoes from Dune. The small jewel decoration on these shoes gives just the right amount of detail to keep them exciting, but won’t leave you looking over the top.

Or, if you want to draw extra attention to your toes, then why not splash out on these Sex In The City style Louboutins. The extensive studding gives these classic, chic shoes an edge- these shoes are definitely for those who want to make a statement, but there’s no better way to feel like a princess than a pair of Louboutins!

If you’re keeping the dress simple, then why not go wild with the shoes. These gorgeous lace peeptoes from Dolcis are perfect for livening up an elegant dress. The flower corsage detail makes these shoes ultra-girly, while the lace can make your outfit look vintage.

Or try these beautiful jewelled shoes by Debut. The bow detail would look perfect with a simple, feminine dress. The ankle straps will also give your feet and ankles extra support, so you’ll feel more comfortable on your big day.

There’s no need to worry if you aren’t brave enough to face the cold in strappy or peeptoe shoes, as there are some beautiful closed toe shoes too this season. These 1950’s style Mary Janes by Rainbow Couture would look perfect with a vintage dress. They can easily be customised too with some stick on jewels or a broach, so you can embellish them as much as you like, or leave them plain if want your dress to do all of the talking.

If you’re after a bit of colour in your wedding outfit, then why not try these satin court shoes from New Look. The black ribbon and bow detail adds just enough colour to these shoes, without overpowering the simple style. Court shoes are also incredibly comfortable, so you know you won’t be in pain on your big day!

Or why not try these gorgeous pointed shoes by Rainbow Couture. The pleated front and floral diamante detailing would look gorgeous with almost any dress, and the slingback straps are great for adding support and comfort.

Spending the whole day in heels can be tiring for some. Luckily, there are some lovely flats out there which will keep your feet feeling perfect. Our favourite is this pair of silk flats by Benjamin Adams. The cut out and diamante detailing gives these shoes just the right amount of embellishment as they would look great with almost any dress. We also love these girly flats by Chloé, which have a gorgeous chain flower detail-perfect for a daytime wedding.
