Yes, you read that right, our favourite bridal shoe designer Emmy London has created a stunning new collection for Spring 2015, including beautiful flats and kitten heels! With all the same exquisite embellishment and details we have come to expect and adore from Emmy’s designs they are sure to have you swooning and are guaranteed to outshine their heeled rivals…..

Since launching in 2004 Emmy Scarterfield has made her name creating lavishly luxuriant shoes and accessories for the modern vintage loving bride –  and the new Aurelia collection is no exception! Inspired by the magical mythology of the sea, Emmy has looked to mermaids, selkies and sea sirens (sultry creatures known for luring men to their destiny) as her muse. Fairytale illustrations from the turn of the century and rippling Art Nouveau forms have further influenced the Aurelia collection, which alongside the new range of flats, also features subtly shimmering suedes in sea green and ice blue emblazoned with ornate crystal beading.

It is the heavenly bridal flats however that really wowed me, and made me love Emmy just that little bit more (something I had thought was impossible) For to me they offer something completely new to today’s brides, and that is beautifully embellished and glamorous alternatives to the towering heels we feel obliged to wear as brides, that are neither frumpy or forgettable. Oh no, these are simply perfect for any vintage adoring bride, who, for whatever reason, can’t or doesn’t wish to wear heels. And as with all Emmy’s hand crafted shoes, the highlights of these designs are in the fine detailing and finishes; such as the Carrie which is made of the softest kid suede and decorated with the exquisite Aurelia embellishment along the toe line then finished off with gorgeous gold leather piping…..

It’s also available in a pretty soft grey, which would be just perfect for the Mother of the Bride or your bridesmaids…..

And the Jude, a decadent flat bridal sandal, which has all the intricate hand beaded detail and colours of Emmy’s best selling Francesca shoe. It would be perfect for any of you who want a dazzling design for a beach bound or destination wedding – as well as for romantic honeymoon evenings and beyond…..

If you’re looking for something in between a flat and a high heel though, then the Ella, a gorgeous sandal on a kitten heel, which comes in gold or silver, could be for you. Made of blush kid suede and metallic leather they are practical (and look oh so comfortable) without losing any of the elegance…..

Of course the 2015 collection wouldn’t be complete without a few of the captivating high heels Emmy is so renowned for. Like the showstopping Phoenix with its sweeping beaded feather detail, and elegant asymmetric, super flattering yet supportive strap……

I think Phoenix is my new favourite!

And Amelia, which is a beautiful 1950s inspired point, in ivory kid suede, embellished with an exquisite bead and crystal peacock feather…..

Or how about the towering Sandy…..

And the understated yet chic Esme…..

Or the fabulous Aurelia with its smooth silver and pearl beading and sequin details, it is a shoe that will work with any bridal gown fabric…..

In fact with the introduction of Aurelia and the collection of accessories that accompany them, including a headpiece, sash and clutch; you can create an entire bridal look!…..
