Beautiful bridal shoes!
The perfect pair of bridal shoes are the ultimate finishing touch to your bridal look. Here are some of our hot picks…
As soon as you’ve chosen your dream dress, your wedding shoes should be next on your shopping list. You’ll need them for dress fittings so it’s best to purchase them sooner rather than later. There are so many gorgeous pairs around so where do you start?
The height of your wedding shoes will depend on how comfortable you are in heels! If you’re most confident when rocking a pair of skyscraper heels, then go for it. But do remember that you’ll be wearing these shoes all day and you don’t want sore feet ruining your celebration. If you must have those killer heels, and there’s room in the budget, you could consider changing into a more comfy pair in the evening, ready to dance the night away!
We adore bridal flats, and especially the pretty trainers you can now pick up. Rachel Simpson has a sweet selection, combining comfort with fashion.
When it comes to your wedding shoes you don’t have to stick with traditional ivory heels. Why not go bold with colour and embellishments? Especially if you’re wearing a short or tea-length gown, it’s definitely worth spending a little more time finding that perfect pair. After all, they’ll be on display all day!

Bridal sky-scraping shoes!
The sky’s the limit! Strut your stuff tall and proud in Rainbow Club’s tantalising collection of brilliant bridal skyscrapers! We showcase our favourites…
Pumps – you’re awesome and we love you dearly. Kitten heels – you’ll always be super cute and dainty as a daisy. But for some serious wedding wow, for the ultimate in showstopping splendour, to have and to hold now and evermore… we’re head over heels for brilliant bridal sky-scraping shoes! There’s just something about putting on a pair of dizzyingly tall stilettos. There’s nothing like it, in fact, for getting you party-ready (and on our wedding day of course, we’re talking about the ultimate party). I remember vividly dismissing my mother’s very quiet and sensible suggestion that perhaps the five-inch heels weren’t the best shout (I’m already 5’9”). But no. Out came the T-Bar skyscrapers that day along with a giraffe-like bride blissfully unaware that she looked like a walking wall of white carpet. We’re celebrating reaching for the stars here ladies… check out Rainbow Club’s beautiful bridal skyscrapers…
These beautiful shoes called ‘Trixie’ have a glorious retro feel – we love the fresh white and scalloped design in lace. The dainty strap sits perfectly across the foot to elongate your legs and the chunky heel will make walking and dancing a breeze. What’s not to love?!
Zarah_£99.00
A sprinkling of gold dust on all things wedding is having a huge moment this 2018 and we say wear it on your shoes! Add a dash of the 1920s flapper girl with a tassel tie at the ankle, and the peep-toe sandal makes this a perfect choice for summer. Team with a tea-length gown to show off these stunning skyscrapers!
Adrianna_£95.00
Embellishments don’t come any more striking than this. Bedazzle your T-Bars with these pearl-studded beauties! We love the soft, tactile tulle covering over the foot too – perfect for a quintessentially ‘English Country Manor’ theme.

Brilliant idea… bespoke bridal shoes!
What a brilliant idea! Design your own tailor-made and bespoke bridal shoes… the perfect finishing touch for a 2018 wedding from Adrienne Shoes.
A pair of beautifully bespoke bridal shoes is the first step on the road to a truly customisable big day. Because let’s be honest ladies: how often do our shoes inform our outfit… and how often are they the first thing we think about when we plan a ‘look’? (Be honest: how many times do we think about shoes in a day… or even night? My favourite dream takes place in Manolo Blahnik’s… and I’m the queen…) The trend for personalising all things wedding continues for 2018 and we say put your best foot forward and start as you mean to go on. Why not treat your feet to the customisable first and foremost? We’re head over heels for the brilliant bespoke bridal shoes from Adrienne Shoes…

Kitten-heel cuteness from Rainbow Club
Effortlessly stylish and the sweetest way to dance the night away, we love the kitten-heel cuteness range of bridal shoes from Rainbow Club…
Not just an extension of the bridal gown or – heavens forbid – a mere afterthought, the bridal shoe has, quite rightly, taken centre stage in recent years. And giving it pride of place is the business of the lovely people at Rainbow Club. We have to say they’re true connoisseurs. From skyscrapers to pumps, mid-heel to platform, Rainbow Club have stayed ever-faithful to their committed philosophy of creating award-winning bridal shoes crafted with incredible attention to detail. Always on point (ha! we love a good pun here…) and trail-blazing when trendsetting, it’s their nod to the classic and traditional that we love and admire too. So here – and because it’s Spring and we’re feeling sprightly – we get season savvy with Rainbow Club’s dazzling collection of kitten-heel cuteness…
Harlow
Inspired by the inimitable Jean Harlow herself (nicknamed ‘The Blonde Bombshell’), stepping into these cute kitten heels is to instantly transform into a golden Hollywood starlet of the 1930s. We love this gold trim, t-bar and peekaboo open-toed sandal.
Anastacia
Anastacia does capture something of the ethereal ballerina and we’re head over heels for the whimsical note! In metallic gold (a huge colour palette for 2018), this dainty pair includes a dazzling brooch that will catch the light and shimmer and shine all night long.
Shirley
If a love of lace is what motivates your bridal search, then this could be the pair of kitten-heels for you. Vintage-inspired with a retro block-heel effect, these shoes will perfectly complement a ‘To The Manor Born’ big-day theme.
Danni
Subtle yet effective, Danni is the perfect finishing touch to a structured silhouette. We love the simple satin effect with the more modern cut-out panels at the toe.
Take a peek at some more cute-as-a-button kitten heels below. Which pair is your favourite…? See more at rainbowclub.co.uk.
7 ideas for your ‘something blue’
If you have your ‘something old’, ‘something new’ and ‘something borrowed’, then you’ll just need your ‘something blue’ to finish off the tradition! Here are 7 ideas for how to get that ‘something blue’ into your bridal look…
Your jewellery
This is one of the easiest ways to incorporate a small touch of blue into your look without going overboard – plus, you can choose from a range of colours, from deep cobalt to pale sky blue. For a statement, vintage-inspired look, we love these sapphire Alexandra earrings from Stephanie Browne, while brides looking for a pretty, subtle blue set will love the Shimmering Sky range from Glitzy Secrets, which starts at just £15.
Your hair accessories
As well as your jewellery, you can also incorporate a little blue into your hair accessories. If you’re wearing a hair vine, comb or tiara, keep an eye out for one with blue stones or pearls, like this June hairvine from Britten. Alternately, retro-inspired brides could rock a pretty blue bow in their hair, or you could ask your florist to weave some small blue blossoms into your flower crown.
Your shoes
This is another popular option for brides who want a pop of blue without going overboard is to pick blue shoes! Just like your jewellery, there are plenty of shade and texture options available, so there are styles available for every bride. You could pick fun turquoise glitter, or elegant navy suede. We particularly love these vintage-inspired bluebell leather Gardenia heels by Rachel Simpson. Don’t want to commit to an entire blue shoe? Pick up these cute blue Charlotte Mills shoe clips and attach them to ivory or white heels instead.
Your garter
For a secret ‘something blue’ that won’t interfere with an all-white bridal look, we love a blue wedding garter! There are plenty of styles on the market to choose from, but one of our faves is Geraldine from Olivier Laudus, which is made with blue satin ribbon, vintage-style lace and delicate crystal and pearl detailing.
Your veil
It may be an unusual option, but for a bride who wants her ‘something blue’ to be more of a statement, why not pick out a blue veil? You could pick a veil with blue embellishments or ribbon trim, or a fully blue veil like this ice blue tulle elbow-length veil from Rasbery Pavlova.
Your manicure
For some brides, a French mani just won’t do! Incorporating a pretty blue polish into your wedding day manicure is a fun way to get your ‘something blue’ – why not paint your ring finger blue for a quirky twist on a classic nail look?
Your dress
For a real statement ‘something blue’, you could wear a gorgeous blue wedding gown! The pastel wedding dress trend is still going strong, with many designers including beautiful ice blue gowns as an alternative on popular blush and pink shades. We love this tea-length Violet dress from Lou Lou Bridal!
Introducing the new collection: Di by Diane Hassall
Diane Hassall is back with a brand new collection of wedding shoes that you’ll love! Find out about the stunning new styles here…
The all-new collection by Diane Hassall is here, and it’s all about a brand new colour palette of dreamy nudes and pastels. Chalky soft nude suede blends with powdery blush coloured silk and gorgeous French and Italian laces, to produce a colour palette which complements almost every skin tone. Not only does that mean they’ll look incredible on your big day, but you’ll also be able to wear them again and again once you’re married!
There are some stunning details in this collection. Delicate hand beading and antique rose metallic lace add the subtlest hint of sparkle, but for those wanting something more, there is a selection of cleverly designed embellishments to choose from, including beaded flower attachments.
The styling is contemporary, grown up glamour with a strong fashion focus. Cutesy mules sit alongside pretty tie up bootees and dainty suede courts, giving the collection a feel of timeless elegance. Every shoe is hand made in luxurious fabrics and buttery soft leather, and it goes without saying that comfort is a given.
‘Brides are at the centre of what we do, but I don’t just want brides to wear these shoes once,’ says designer Diane Hassall. ‘This colour palette works beautifully for bridal, but also for day and evening wear. We see these shoes as investment pieces to be worn again and again whether you are a bride or not.’
Made in limited numbers, the new Di by Diane Hassall collection is available from specially selected stockists and online. See our favourite styles below, and check out the full collection at dianehassall.com.
