Mothers, if you’re looking for something more traditional and simple, the Ralph Lauren Tyra is just the shoe for you. The straps and design are simple and classy. Not too much heel, but just enough to give you some height to make anyone’s legs look long and lean. The soft gold tone of the Tyra will match just about any outfit whether it be a dress, pantsuit or skirt/top combo. I will suggest however, you try not to go “matchy-matchy” with this and pair it with a gold toned dress or match it with black.

On the flip side from the Kate Spade Mattie I introduced to you before, the Nina Electra is a perfect bride’s shoe for those of you looking for height (cough..like myself). Plus, as Nina’s are known for..you’ll get comfort AND height with the Electra. This pump for the bride is demure with the soft bow detail and overlapping pleats that offset the thin ankle strap. The Electra will go perfectly with a long or short wedding gown. Oh and BTW, did you see the metallic gold underlining of the shoe, I love that detail – makes it slightly more exciting.

For those of you are perhaps a bit tall…or have a groom who’s a tad vertically challenged, the Kate Spade Mattie is a perfect fit. You still get to wear heels without towering over the groom without having to resort to a flat. With the Mattie you’ll feel lovely and demure with the straps and knotted bow.

The pleats and disconnected cross front of Dyeables Erica Pump are both interesting and flattering. Also, I’m liking the Erica because a) if you don’t want to actually dye these shoes, you don’t need to since they are already white and nicely finished and..b) after the wedding you can dye them to any color you’d want that will match more of your wardrobe. I actually want to get these just so I can dye them a deep orange to play up some outfits I have in my closet right now. It’s a win-win Brides, perfect shoe for your wedding..and after!

These are ridiculously cute. As soon as I laid eyes on Stuart Weitzman’s Marimbow Peep Toe Pump, I immediately knew it had to be my first bridal shoe post. It’d be impossible for you, the Bride, not to feel wonderfully completed from head to toe (or rather, heel) in this elegant, yet playful pump. The gathered poof just before the peep-toe is a perfectly proportioned embellishment to this satiny heel. Envision the Marimbow with a simply constructed long gown or more playful gown with a full skirt. And after the wedding, the Marimbow can still be matched with a bold colored and patterned dress.

Biviel BV1208 – Flats are a great option for comfort and if you happen to be taller, they can also be dressed up or down.

Nine West Falcoin – satin is always a lovely way to keep things elegant. Go for detail (like the pleating in this Falcoin) and bright colors to also add your own flavor.

Charles by Charles David – Tyrst: stylish and traditional. Subtle lizard prints like this Tyrst sandal is great and the twist makes the show modern.

Nina Vikki – great for a wedding that goes into the evening because of the color, while still keeping your feet cool in the summer.

Bridesmaid shoe tips: you don’t have to be “matchy matchy” with your dress. Contrasting colors will go great with the popular single tone bold colors that are being used for many dresses today. Look for comfort as well. Only wear a shoe with a heel height, and constructed in a way, that you know you will be comfortable in the entire day- no matter how fabulous the shoe is. Comfort is key, you don’t want to be wincing in pictures. You can mix things up with different colors, prints, materials and straps. Also, it doesn’t hurt to suggest having all the bridesmaid’s getting the same shoe in a variety of colors. Makes for nicer pictures, and we all know how important pictures are.
