When planning your wedding, naturally all your focus (and endless hours of conversations) centers around finding the perfect dress. But don’t underestimate the importance of finding the perfect pair of shoes to go with that dress. Because, as the saying goes, “accessories make an outfit” – and this is twice as true on your wedding day as any other!

For some of you this statement is obvious. In fact you’ve been dreaming of the heavenly heels you will add to your shoe collection since before you set eyes on your betrothed. But for many (like myself) your shoes may be the last thing on your mind. At the end of the day though, your wedding shoes has a huge role to fulfil: you have to wear them for a solid 15+ hours! So you want to be make damned sure you love them enough to want to wear them on one of the most special days of your life – or even better, long after!

Thankfully, the era of only having the choice of one of 20 traditional, ivory satin, high heeled wedding shoes is long over. In fact so many are there, that limiting this list to just 18 was almost impossible. But limit it I have, to just 18 of the MOST beautiful bridal shoes . We’re talking exquisite diamante embellished pumps, glamorous gold heels, understated courts and chic flats – so whatever style wedding dress you are planning to wear, there are a pair of shoes perfect for you amongst these beauties….

Just imagine this exquisite embellishment peeping out from under your dress! (or pants!)…..
