Wedding Shoes

Are you getting ready for a really special occasion? Don't settle for whatever you find in your closet; do it right with a pair of wedding shoes. From wedding sandals to dressy high heels, you'll find the finest shoes in this category, a perfect choice for more than just weddings. These work well for formal office parties, anniversaries and other events calling for your best dresses and suits.

Almost every brand in the business has wisely chosen to offer their best styles in dye-able white satin, so no matter what you've chosen for your bridesmaid dresses, if you can't find the right shoe color, you can make a match, yourself. Two top choices here are Coloriffics and Dyeables, both of which have an extensive selection of wedding shoes you can customize. However, we want to point out a few that might meet your needs, just as they are. From Dyeables, the Frilly pumps are sure to leave a lasting impression with delicate ruffles and a bow; these are available in black, brown, silver, or the shimmery dye-able white satin.

Coloriffics, which offers matching bridal handbags as well as shoes, has the classy yet comfortable pleated Dani, accented with a rhinestone ornament across the toes. Trista is another favorite style in dye-able satin with a rhinestone anklet design that's mirrored across the vamp straps; very elegant. You might not have heard of Touch Ups, but this designer offers similar dye-able styles at a terrific price. We think Touch Ups' Ellie is adorable, a simple pair of silver or dye-able satin ballet flats with a band of rhinestone flowers beneath a string bow. Touch Ups also has bridal handbags, so don't miss this part of their collection.

Steve Madden also nods to the need for dye-able wedding shoes, and the Lolipop Mary Janes are a terrific example of the styles available. A towering 4.25-inch heel is supported by a hidden platform beneath the sole, and the adjustable ankle strap features a pretty satin button -- keep the button and heel un-dyed for a dramatic contrast against the dyed shoe. Nina knows bridal shoes too, and we're impressed with several styles, including the Axelle slingback featuring a tiny peep-toe cutout with big, fluffy ruffles across the vamp.

The last two featured designers bring a lot of quality into their footwear: Stuart Weitzman and Caparros. For the decadence of gold, Caparros' Elvira is a must, a glamorous sandal with a pleated crossed vamp and a sparkling ring embellishment. Stuart Weitzman offers several creative choices, including the barely-there Nitelace, a delicate slingback covered with crystals and lace trim.
