Let your heels do the talking, with our pick of divine wedding shoes to put a spring in your step
With more short gowns in the mix, there’s every excuse to splurge on a fabulous pair of wedding shoes. Jewel embellishments and metal trims remain a strong story in bridal, but more brides are also adding a pop of colour – a great option if you want to stick to traditional white or pale neutrals for your gown but add an individual and fashion-forward edge. An alternative that works really well for evening weddings is black, and the bonus is that these make great heels for honeymoon and red-carpet events after the big day. Here are eight of our favourite styles to ensure you make a bold and sassy entrance.
