“Honey, the right shoe can change your life! Ask Cinderella”.
Well, well, did you just let out a stupendous ‘Aye’ right now? We’re assuming you’re an ardent shoe lover if this blog post has piqued your interest. Let’s take a moment, and dedicate this article to all you beautiful, blushing, yet sassy brides to be! Trousseau shopping is not an easy feat, and kudos to you all for undertaking this journey with aplomb. Contrary to popular belief, shopping, which is generally enjoyable, can sometimes be overwhelming in case you’re a bride. Lassies, you definitely aren’t running around frivolously; pat your back for being a hustler, while experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions.
If Prince Charming found Cinderella through her glass slippers, is it safe to say that shoes maybe the door to finding true love? Over the years, shoe design has emerged to be a mainstay in the fashion industry, and today, brides don’t simply look for their perfect wedding gowns or lehengas; shoes go hand in hand (or leg-in-leg?). But, if you’re a quintessential bride, who wants her outfit to do all the talking, then we suggest you opt for a minimalistic pair of nude bridal heels to complement the bespoke attire. In all your bijouterie and wedding finery, you surely need a balancing, subtle act.
From Jimmy Choo’s classic pointy toe pumps to Christian Louboutin’s simplistic pumps; Manolo Blahnik’s Hangisi lace nude lace jewel buckle pumps to Kurt Geiger’s high heel court shoes, hues of the nude bridal heels has been popularized and how. Even dreamers like us seek inspiration from their creations to incorporate in our fairy tale extravaganzas.
One thing to remember when it comes to the colour ‘nude’ (don’t think otherwise, you guys), it corresponds to your skin tone, with regards to heels. If you have snowy, porcelain skin, or a dark tan, you’d ideally go for a hue that complements the same (Can we just say that we love diversity and inclusivity!). In the classic sense, it refers to the flesh tint shade that we usually see. Classy.Sartorial.Royal. ‘All-in-one’ is what best describes them.
Before we proceed, it is mandatory to understand the basic types of heels on which all footwear designers, pret-a porter or ready-to-wear labels, base their designs on.
1. Block Heels: Super stylish, sleek, yet solid, they are your companions, bridezies! Thicker than stilettos, they evenly distribute your body weight, therefore not leaving your feet sore and cracked. You can whirl around for hours on end while being ‘comfortable in your skin’. They generally are open-toed. Magic!
2. Comma Heels: More modern in nature, it is an ode to the languages if we may say so. Shaped like a comma, its usual crescent form makes it a worthwhile statement piece.
3. Cone Heels: With a thick and firm base, they comprise of a narrow, delicate tip. Touted as a versatile and timeless piece, it can be used for varying lengths.
4. Decorative Heels: Made famous by Ralph and Russo (*swoon-worthy*), these heels look elegant, decadent and gallant. They’re characterized by a rich ornament accentuating the vibe.
5. Stilettos: Higher than four inches, these are for the badass women, who can rock the party in dainty heels.
6. Kitten Heels: Mostly below three inches, these heels are the perfect substitute for those who cannot survive in high heels for long periods of time.
7. Pumps: Generally closed toes, giving a shoe-like finish, pumps are extremely adored. Available in medium to high heels, or ballets or booties, they are a class apart.
Now, now pretty belles! We are not even halfway through this never-ending list, but these are just a few of our picks. We suggest that you sit with yourself and understand your shoe care needs before picking out your dreamy pair. Be practical, yet a fashion icon!
