Wedding Shoe Picks for Every Style

June 8, 2010 Comments (0)

If you’re getting married, you know that opening any bridal magazine means defining yourself as a bride. Are you a “traditional” bride? Are you “bohemian” bride? Identifying what type of bride you can help dictate the entire vibe of your wedding. It can help determine the venue, season, and colors of the wedding. Shoes also play a big role in working with the style of your ceremony. After all, what beach bride would be caught dead in stilettos?

Beach Bride

Destination weddings are popular. You want to look fabulous, but also feel comfortable as you frolic with guests at your tropical locale. If you are going with a simple dress with spaghetti straps or feminine touches like eyelet detail, choose a sleek pair of luxe flip-flops. The McKim from Lily Pulitzer is comprised of patent leather with a gold-toned ring on the thong-style sandal. These sandals are easy to slip on and off (in the event your ceremony takes place on the sand) and look more stylish than standard flip-flops. While the Lily Pulitzer McKim sandals are available in black, there’s also silver, gold and turquoise for the beach bride that wants a pop of dazzle or color on her feet.

Glamour Bride

Glamour brides are the glitzy gal we all know (and love) who has to have everything just so. From her hair to makeup to her bouquet, every detail of her look for her wedding, or any other day, is planned out and always glam. For the glamour bride, we suggest a saucy pair of heels that ooze femininity. The Raquel sandals from Badgley Mishka are everything the glamour bride could want. From the satin straps to the stiletto heel, these shoes are made for the bride who loves the spotlight. Organza fabric adds a delightful floral adornment to the top of the shoe for a look that will steal the show.

Classic Bride

Who doesn’t love a classic bride? For the traditional bride who wants a wedding day look that will stand the test of time, stylish, yet staple shoes are a must. The Regalo heels from Stuart Weitzman are a traditional d’orsay shoe made of rich satin fabric. At the toe sits a flat bow for a sweet touch that’s feminine without going over-the-top. These shoes can be dyed any color, so if the classic bride wants a traditional silhouette in a burst of color, the possibilities are endless.
