Wednesday Wedding: Shoes to say ‘I do’ to! By Lisa

5 Bridal Shoe Companies I’m Hotfooting To After Lockdown is Lifted

 

I’ve had a lot of time on my hands recently and if I’m not perfecting my newly learned lockdown hobby of cross-stitching (I know, I know, I’m turning into a Grandma at the age of 28 (!), I’m scrolling on Instagram for wedding inspiration.

We are less than a year away which is super exciting and not at all scary. So, whilst a lot of our wedding is sorted, like the venue, band, photographer and videographer, lockdown has given me the opportunity to look at the fun parts of a wedding like shoes!
I’ve put together 5 shoes from brands that look absolutely beautiful and would compliment any wedding gown.

 

1. Lucy Choi London

Let’s kick off the list with these show stoppers! I am an absolute sucker for a bow and anything shiny. Case in point – my girl friends, when we were 18, all chipped in to buy each other Tiffany necklaces – mine was a pendant necklace with a bow which I still wear. So, yes bows are beautiful, especially this sparkler. Aptly named
The Shard Beige Glitter this mid-heel looks pretty comfortable – something I’m looking for in a shoe as I’m usually the first one on the dance floor and plan to dance the night away with my new husband and our friends and family.
Designer and niece of Jimmy Choo, Lucy’s stunning shoes combine beautiful designs with exceptional craftmanship. One to look at, even if you’re not getting married!
2. Harriet Wilde Shoes
Specialising in designer bridal shoes, Harriet Wilde Shoes are something else. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful on a heel! What’s great about HWS is there are a range of colours to choose from. Don’t know what to have as your something blue? Make it your shoes! This pair of Amy Blue Blossom shoes are right up my street, especially as our wedding is next Spring and we’re incorporating blossom into the theme as a nod to M’s time in Japan.
Another lovely sentiment that HWS does is a message on the sole of your shoes, whether it be Mrs so-and-so or your wedding date.  
3. Emmy London
I mean WOW!
The Isadora Ivory is an intricate, embellished and floral beauty. It’s just a shame you wouldn’t be able to see the shoes underneath the dress. This hand beaded shoe is a super high pointed wedding court, lovingly designed by Creative Director Emmy. It is a tad expensive, but it’s once in a lifetime, treat yourself!
4. Sophia Webster
For those who love a slogan or want to have a bit of fun with their shoes, look no further than Sophia Webster’s Wifey For Lifey. Hoping that these shoes ring true for my future marriage and I don’t have to use a family solicitor, these shoes are a statement and could also be your something blue.
5. Rainbow Club

When I first got engaged, a brand that colleagues kept mentioning was Rainbow Club. What’s their USP I hear you ask? Well they have two! They have a unique bliss cushion comfort padded lining, p
erfect for those who will be on their feet for most of the day, which is great. However the pièce de résistance is, that,  once you’ve worn your ivory coloured shoes, you can send them to Rainbow Club, tell them what colour you want and they will dye them professionally so you can re-wear your wedding shoes – amazing! Colour customisation is a wonderfully eco concept as you’re re-using something you wouldn’t normally wear again. The Georgia Luxury Lace has beautiful lace and would look lovely in any colour after your wedding.
So there you have it, 5 shoe companies, 5 completely different shoes. Obviously there are the classics you could go with like Louboutin or Valentino, but Louboutins can be incredibly high and uncomfortable and I’m not a hundred per cent sure Valentino Rockstuds would compliment my castle like venue!
If you know of other amazing wedding shoes or shoe brands that I haven’t mentioned, let me know!
