The Top Designers of Wedding Shoes

Cinderella Emergency! During the past twelve years of wedding photography, I met many brides and their pretty wedding shoes all over Italy for their most glamorous destination weddings! And even if I hadn’t been a bride – actually I had been a groom a few years ago! – I’ve worked with American, British, Japanese, clients and brides from many other countries worldwide. And I know how much girls want to be perfect on their wedding day when all eyes of their friends and families will be on them.
 
It’s all about that essential element that is still missing in your outfit, the shoes. You might be looking for a clutch purse in the color palette, some earrings, something blue, or maybe something borrowed but, above all, the best bridal SHOES ever!
 
As our best friend, Carrie Bradshaw, once said, “You can never have too many pairs of shoes.”. Truer words have never been spoken. Shoes are in women’s DNA. They are a statement and can make you feel who you want to be, especially when walking down the aisle for the first time arm in arm with your dad.
 
Whether you choose high heels, sneakers, or flats, there are some basic unwritten rules that every bride should keep into consideration.

GREAT BRANDS ONLY

Shoes are one of the few accessories you can wear again and again, so don't be cheap. Luxury brands use high-quality materials, and the ergonomics of their products are designed to make women's feet feminine and elegant.

BE CAREFUL WITH WHITE

Matching the same shade of white with the dress isn't easy at all. Ivory, ice, pearl, cream, natural white, there are too many of them to handle, and wearing different hues together might be a terrible mistake. When in doubt, better to opt for fabulous jewel sandals or any other color matching your wedding palette!

BEAUTIFUL OR COMFORTABLE?

High-quality brands mean more comfort, thanks to outstanding ergonomic and craftsmanship.
Find the best compromise based on your personality. I always choose high heels for celebrations and events. Heels make my silhouette slimmer and enhance my femininity. I feel like a diva, even in the dirtiest basement. If you're afraid not to stand on the heels all day long, you're in pretty good company. Better to have flats also, somewhere in the surroundings. It will save you from swinging when on the third glass of champagne - and make your groom taller and moooore handsome.

At this point, you might be wondering what the best designers of wedding shoes. Please enjoy the list below! Some of them are not very well-known, but please be aware that I'm not listing the cheapest brands. So if you're emptying your pockets to be a fashion Cinderella, blaming me won't make you feel better!
