Drool worthy wedding shoes : Stuart Weitzman

Stuart Weitzman claims that he designs shoes to "make women happy", all I can say in response to that is MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  Dear Stuart your shoes do make me very happy indeed.. well except for one tiny detail ;the price tag!!! I mean $350 for a pair of shoes is a bit much for a humble bridal writer like myself, especially considering that fact that some brides spend less than than on their wedding dress! 

However this excerpt from my article almost tips the scale in his favor

 "His stunning range of shoes are a constant favorite of celebrities for their live performances. We all know how rigorous Beyonce’s dance routines can be, and she has repeatedly shown up on stage at concerts and live events sporting the latest stilettos from Stuart’s collection, she even wears them when she travels through the airport! Many other celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Rhianna and Carrie Underwood have also chosen to perform in Stuart’s shoes. The fact that his shoes can endure nights of on-stage dancing speaks a lot about the level of quality and comfort!... Continue reading on Examiner.com The great shoe hunt!

...but a true fashionista knows how to hunt down great deals at discounted rates! Websites like Myglassslipper, Zappos and Endless often have a good selection of his shoes on sale."   [

The shoe hunt continues~ Badgley Mischka

Badgley Mischka shoes are simple & chic. Could they BE anymore me!? {Chandler Bing voice}. Each of their shoes is a modern twist on a classic style, and they all look like they were made purposely to be worn down the aisle. Of course its no surprise considering Mark and James of Badgley Mischka are bridal designers! The only thing that makes their shoe collection less than perfect is how limited the colors are... but with shoes as goregeous as these we'll gladly make do with the colors available!

Shoes...SHOES...shoes!

Repeat after me, wedding shoes do not have to be white. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat until you believe it. Too many brides allow themselves to be convinced that a)they must wear white shoes and b) it doesn’t matter what shoes they wear because “no one will even see your shoes” This is not true!! The SATC wedding shot above proves that the bride's shoes make many appearances, such as when the bride steps out of the car, when she raises her dress to walk up or down steps, while dancing the night away or anytime she feels like raising her dress to show off her fabulously dressed feet!!


There are only two situations in which I would advise a bride to wear white shoes;

• If she plans to wear a bright colored crinoline

• If she will be wearing a bright colored wedding dress.

If those scenarios don’t apply to you then kick those plain white pumps to the curb and search for something bold and brave. It doesn’t have to be a bright color, metallic colors or pastels work great too. The great shoe hunt is a series that takes brides on a search for the perfect wedding shoes. This weeks edition focuses on KATE SPADE. Let me start by saying that KATE SPADE is on my love/hate list. Her shoes are impeccably made, and last forever… but with prices averaging around $300 a pair.. they aren’t exactly affordable to the average bride, especially those on a budget…

Having said that, you can always stalk her shoes until you find it on sale somewhere.. These are some of my Kate Spade favorites that would look stunning on a bride:
