Pretty Perfect Vintage-Style Shoes for Your Wedding Day

Wedding shoes need to be two things - beautiful and comfortable. The two don't often go together. Luckily one of the UK's best shoe designers has got the combo nailed. Rachel Simpson's Shoes are prettily perfect, with vintage styles and sensible heels. Many of them have crossbar straps, like dancer's shoes, meaning you'll never lose a shoe on the way down the aisle! What I really love, is that Rachel's made it her mission to perfectly cut each shoe to compliment the foot. It's so refreshing to find a designer with comfort in mind! Her shoes aren't cheap, but if you buy a pair in a colour other than white, you'll be wearing them for years to come.

DIY Wedding Shoe Glamorisers

Wedding shoes can be a minefield. Traditionally brides wear white, but when will you ever wear a pair of white stilettos again? There's just too many connotations! Instead brides are opting for brights and metallics, often with red sole, which hikes the cost up a good £200 {thank you Mr Louboutin}. If you're not looking to break the bank with your wedding shoe budget {no judgement!}, then try a quick DIY shoe glamoriser with these fabulous shoe clips. They'll fasten on in a jiffy, and turn your simple slides into Carrie-standard beauties. Buy several pairs and coordinate your bridesmaids for a fraction of what you'd shell out for new shoes. Hot foot it over to Chloe and Maddie for all their styles.

My Wedding - My Sparkly Something Blue

Princess Catherine's something blue was a little ribbon sewn into her gorgeous Alexander McQueen wedding dress, but I've decided to go one better! Lots of US brides featured on the wedding blogs have these wonderful stickers on the soles of their wedding shoes, and they inspired me to do the same. Aren't they fun? I've even seen grooms wearing them. They can either be your little lucky secret, or if you're having a church service and kneel to pray, all your congregation will see your message {cute!}. So, take one pair of Halston Heritage gold shoes {bought from The Outnet}, take two sparkly stickers {bought for a song from here}, put them together, and you've got a pair of perfect bridal shoes.
