There are two types of brides in this world: the ones who meticulously colour-code their wedding mood boards down to the exact pantone shade of their reception napkins, and the ones who spend four hours hunting for the perfect wedding meme to dm their bestie. Both, however, share the same flaw—forgetting about footwear until roughly a week before the wedding, right when their pre-ceremony stress dreams kick in.
But here’s the thing, your shoes are more than just a functional base. They are the unsung heroes of your bridal look, the sly scene-stealers peeking through that lehenga twirl, and the statement-makers that stick with you long after you drop your kaleeras. So, before you panic-order a random pair of glittery platforms that promise ‘extra comfort’ (spoiler: they won’t deliver), let us introduce you to a line-up of sole mates truly worth the walk.
The cult bride pick: Bottega Veneta Knot Heeled Mule Sandals
The sculptural heel, the signature knotted detailing, and that seamless Italian craftsmanship? It’s the quiet luxury bridal look—understated, refined, and very much the It-Girl choice.
The romantic floral moment: Dolce&Gabbana Keira Rose Appliquéd Satin Sandals
The Keira rose-appliquéd satin sandals are for the bride who sees her wedding as a renaissance painting in motion. Intricate floral detailing? Check. Soft, blushing satin? Double-check.
The siren red stiletto: Ferragamo Sandals With Ultra-Fine Mini Straps
Ferragamo’s ultra-fine mini strap sandals in a bold, fiery red are for the bride who loves to stand out. The colour holds up the tradition while the silhouette is perfect to style even after the big day.
The glam goddess: Gianvito Rossi Flavia Mirrored Leather Pumps
For the bride whose Pinterest board is basically the stuff of grecian goddess dreams, the Flavia stiletto heels by Gianvito Rossi are an obvious choice. With a delicate ankle wrap and laser-cut leaf motifs made with mirror-effect leather, these are the kind of heels that make a statement.
The fairy-tale come true: Rene Caovilla Floriane Honey Sandal
If a shoe could whisper sweet nothings, it would be the Rene Caovilla Floriane Honey Sandal. A delicate design of pearls, crystals, and floral details—all woven into a sandal that looks like it was designed for an actual princess.
The cool-girl drip: Jimmy Choo Verity 100 Vintage Metallic Leather Sandals
There’s something about metallics that scream “effortlessly glam,” and Jimmy Choo’s Verity 100 sandals do exactly that. The vintage metallic finish ensures they go with literally anything—from your reception gown to that afterparty slip dress (yes, we see you planning two looks).
The Cinderella moment: Christian Louboutin Kate Max Strass Eternity 100 mm Pumps
Glass slippers, but make them edgy couture. Christian Louboutin’s Kate max strass eternity pumps are so encrusted with crystals, they might just outshine your solitaire. This is for the bride who believes in sequins and the power of a good red sole.
The modern Maharani: Aprajita Toor Moti Bahar Pencil Heels
Indian bridalwear is all about the details, and so is Aprajita Toor Moti Bahar Pencil Heels. Think pearl embellishments, intricate craftsmanship, and a silhouette that seamlessly merges traditional aesthetics with a modern edge. Ideal for the bride who’s pairing her custom Manish Malhotra with a shoe that speaks the same language of glamour.
