HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR "I DO" SHOE?

What a fascinating story a wedding shoe carries. A story that influences the look of footwear chosen by brides’ for their walk down the aisle. Funny thing is that a lot of brides don’t think twice when it comes to their wedding shoe. After all many think that you don’t even see the shoe, so why would it be important. Well ladies… Catherine de Medici, the Italian born French queen was a powerful influence to women in the 16th century. She motivated a trend as one of the first brides in history to walk down the aisle in high heels. Did you know that Anglo-Saxon brides tossed shoes rather than bouquets to maids who hoped to marry? Brides in old England carried something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and….., a sixpence in their shoe! Queen Victoria inspired modern-day brides by choosing a white gown and white shoes for her wedding in 1840. Prior to that, blue was the color of choice for brides. Whether you choose slippers, heels, pumps or bejeweled flip-flops; always remember that shoes make an outfit and your wedding day should be no exception. Whether your gown is long or short, shoes are important.  A beautiful shoe enhances your gown of choice as well as displaying your individual style. If shoes are your fetish, don’t hide them, show them off by wearing a “Tea Length” bridal gown. Shorter bridal gowns are so “in” right now. Have a look at Lucia (L) and Isabella (R), they are just stunning!
