Shoes can make or break an outfit, and so on a day as important as your wedding, it is vital that your heels match your headdress, and that you bring it with the footwear. Whether you’re getting married in platforms, kitten heels, or ballerina flats, you need to ensure you have two things: comfort, and style; remember that you’re not just walking down the aisle in this pair, but will probably be dancing the night away in them too!
Finding the right time to choose your shoes can be a little tricky, so we would recommend that you wait until you have found the dress, but no later than a month before the big day so you have time to wear them in if need be. And we cannot stipulate this enough – quality is key. ASOS is perfect for your bridesmaids, but not for you! So take a look at our roundup of the 8 Best Bridal Shoe Designers in London for inspiration on your perfect look – and recommendations of just where to go!

Carrie Bradshaw’s perennial favourite, Manolo Blahnik is another London-based designer brand who will allow you to positively sparkle on your big day. The 2019 collection is designed not for classical brides looking for the perfect ivory mid heel; it is, however, the place to look for brides who want a something a little alternative. Bring a bit of personality to the ceremony with a tassled heel as below, or try something in a bold colour (which, *hint hint*, is going to be a big trend for next year!). Either way, we guarantee that your shoes will be bringing you plenty of attention – and will be comfy enough for you to get the party started!
