What makes the most romantic wedding shoes?
With Valentine’s day just around the corner, here at The Perfect Bridal Company we’re feeling all loved up and in the mood for a bit of romance. February is the month of love and we’re super excited for all those Valentine’s Day proposals (don’t forget to tell us if that’s you!).
Valentine’s fever has got us thinking about what makes the most romantic wedding shoes. Whether you’re having a February wedding, a Spring wedding or getting married later in the year it’s always the right time for a beautiful pair of shoes. Let’s face it, if you can’t go all out romance on your wedding day, when can you?
So what are the main features to look out for if you want your shoes to complement a truly romantic vibe on the big day?
BOWS
For all out bridal romance you can’t beat the beauty of a good bow. Whether oversized or subtle, sparkly or satin, central or asymmetric, single or double (the list goes on!).. bows are a classic style statement which can be as on trend or as timeless as you fancy.
This season we are in love with our new Adele points. Made from a brand new fabric to the collection, the sumptuous slub silk gives this shoe a truly high end feel, particularly paired with it’s classic two part design. A large structured bow creates the focal point, finished with stunning pearl embellishment.
Another favourite from our bow family is the classic yet modern Chloe. Sitting on a low block heel, this super cute sandal is effortless to wear from day to night, with an elegant ankle strap for added security and comfort. The structured bow is made from polka dot fabric with pretty satin edging making it classic but super on trend. Oh, and they’re dyeable too so you can take your pick of colours either before or after the wedding!
LACE
Another classic feature if you’re after a truly romantic wedding shoe is lace. Whether vintage floral or a more modern motif, there is something truly timeless about a lace wedding shoe which lends them to a romantic bridal look.
The lace used for wedding shoes can be backed with either a satin fabric, giving a classic, non-see through look; or with a lightweight mesh which you can partially see through to the foot. The latter has a more modern look, with the satin backed lace giving a more classic vibe.
Our Maisie block heel is a stunning point crafted in beautiful floral lace. Although backed with a classic ivory satin, the straight cut block heel and crossover strap give the shoe a modern city vibe- timeless with a twist!
For a truly modern yet still undeniably romantic vibe, look no further than our adorable Oakley sneaker. The unlined ivory lace gives a lightweight look, finished to perfection with ivory satin toe cap and heel and romantic organza laces- who said romance couldn’t also be fun?
PEARLS
There is also something undeniably romantic about pearls. Whether it’s a vintage inspired pearl brooch style adornment or scattered pearl detail, these classic embellishments give any wedding shoe a timeless and romantic appeal.
A real show-stopper, it is the heavily pearl embellished strap which makes Carrie an absolute favourite within the PB collection. Crafted in luxury ivory satin, this stunning sandal sits on a wearable modern block heel with an adjustable ankle strap for maximum comfort as well as style- it’s love!
For more of a placement pearl trim, say hello to the ultimate high heel bridal court, Pippa. Made in dyeable ivory satin, the two part design with cut away sides and straight backed slim heel give this shoe a truly sophisticated look, finished to perfection with a diamante and pearl brooch detail on the front.
BLUSH PINK
Last but by absolutely no means least, if you’re looking for a romantic vibe why not add a soft pop of colour to your bridal look, with a pair of blush pink wedding shoes? A classically romantic colour, blush pink is soft enough to remain subtle against an ivory or white dress, but just enough to bring a subtle touch of colour to your look.
For a definite vintage look, our Esme t-bar is the perfect choice. Made from super soft blush pink Ultrasuede, we love the teardrop shaped gold detailing on both the front and heel of the shoe. Wear with a lace wedding dress for the ultimate in vintage chic.
Our Freya block heel point is made from soft blush pink Ultrasuede with delicate gold edging emphasising the elegant lines of the shoe. The mid height block heel gives a modern look whilst the simple ankle strap not only looks stylish but also adds a bit of added security to the foot. An understated modern classic.
