Shoes for your luxury weddingFiled under: Fashion, Over-the-Top Weddings, Bridal Beauty, Theme weddingsIf you are lucky enough to plan your wedding without a budget holding you back, you can splurge on every last detail, right down to your shoes (to match your couture gown, perhaps?). There are plenty of reasonably priced shoes that are beautiful to boot but there are also those shoes we all drool over when walking through Neiman Marcus -- the ones that cost almost as much as the average monthly mortgage. Take this sparkly pair from designer Alexander McQueen. For just under $1700 you can complement a beautiful antique-co...

Yummy MummyBesides the wedding dress itself the next most important piece of clothing the Mother of the bride/groom will consider will be her own. Mothers have the hard task of dressing for an occasion, especially when many feel they are restricted to what they can and cannot wear. No one likes mutton dressed as lamb! Take a leaf out of my book and opt for a dress that drops to the knee, with or without sleeves. Another thing to consider when choosing your outfit is shoes. Flats are not really appropriate, unless of course a garden or beach wedding is on the cards. With so many labels making fabulous kit...

LOVE/HATE: the Rainbow Connection(Image via Hanle Productions) So. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses. I know we’ve talked about this before, and the response has been pretty much universally favorable. Most of the time, though, we talk about dresses that have something in common with one another. We’ve talked about brides who give the dictum: ‘find a tea length dress in navy blue’, or ‘wear anything you like so long as it’s black and hits your knees.’ Not every bride gives even that much direction. Here, for example, the only thing that matches about these is the bouquets are the same co...

Halle Berry Launches New Shoe LineHalle Berry Halle Berry, who already has her own fragrance, has now launched her own line of shoes. The ‘5ths Avenue by Halle Berry’ collection, designed for German retailer Deichmann Shoes, comes six months after Cindy Crawford posed with her own range of Deichmann heals. Like Crawford, Berry is 45 and the ad shoot shows off her enviably toned legs as she slips on her new shoes."Women have always loved shoes. It's like if your hair is not right and your shoes are not right, the woman is not right. If both of them are right, you're pretty much OK," Berry said in a statement r...

Fuck yellow shoesOct 18, 2010 Dear ESB- I am getting married next June (woot) and have already purchased my dress (double woot, I was not looking forward to this part of the planning and it ended up being pain free. and fun). I love my dress. It is just what I was looking for: a simple shape in an interesting fabric. I have an hourglass figure so this 50's silhouette is usually what is most flattering on me. So now that I have the dress I have no clue what to do with it. Short dress means there is a lot of pressure on the shoes. I attached 2 photos of the dress. I don't want to look prissy and sullen (...

Emma Domb Vintage Wedding Dress Glamour for a London Bride...
My heart alway skips a beat when I receive a wedding submission from Marianne Taylor. I don't need to even introduce Marianne's work to those of you unfamilar with her style - her gorgeous photography does all the talking. Marianne photographed Bride Niki and her Husband Steve's wedding on 28 May this year, at London's luxurious and exclusive private members club, Home House. I think Marianne must have known I'd adore this wedding and rightly so, just look at that gorgeous tiered tulle original '55 vintage wedding dress by Emma Domb, a purchase via the gorgeous Lo...

Rachel Simpson Launches New Rose Collection for 2012 ~ Beautiful Wedding Shoes...
One of the best things at the White Gallery recently, was the opportunity to look close up at some beautiful new shoes :) I loved the collections on show by Harriet Wilde and Rachel Simpson, who I'm profiling today. Rachel, who I know via The Designer Vintage Bridal Show {she is one of the show organisers}, was at the White Gallery to present her stunning new designs for 2012; a beautifully feminine collection of understated designs with elegant attention to detail. The shoes were fabulous and included a luxurious colour palette to compliment the ivory coloured bridal collection. Rac...

Bridal Inspiration Boards #2 ~ 1920s Art Deco and The Flapper...
Following on from last week's debut bridal inspiration board, I thought I'd work on a theme this week, rather than simply a colour, and have chosen to focus on the 1920's and Art Deco, Flapper style. The 1920s Art Deco look is popular with Brides who favour the 'vintage' inspired look. It's not hard to see why - this era oozed style, fun and sophistication. I simply adore the marcel wave hair styles popular at the time (more on how to achieve this look on Monday when Severin Hubert of Hepburn Collection talks to Love My Dress) and the beaded and fringed flapper frocks...
