Stylish and Sophisticated Shoes for the Bride

This is the day that a woman often dreams of. She has visions of her gown, walking down the aisle, and the perfect day. So of course, as shoe divas, we know that the shoes are very important. Whether they are covered by your gown or not is completely irrelevant. They have to be the perfect pair.

Bridal shoes have come a long way, so check the variety of styles that are now available. Peeptoes are popular for weddings this season, but there are some other styles that are just as fashionable and gorgeous for that special day.

Peeptoes
You have your choice of the classic style peeptoe which is chic with the stiletto heel or the platform style peeptoe which is quite fashionable and may be a bit more comfortable. You can go with the solid white look or flaunt the designs or bling to accessorize that dress.

Animal Print Heels Are Hot This Season!

Two of the hottest animal prints this season are the zebra print and the leopard print. It’s the perfect way to add some flavor to any outfit no matter how conservative or wild you are.

Zebra Prints
Zebra prints give you that sophisticated, chic look. It breaks up the monotony of any outfit. The peeptoe platforms are for the ladies who like to showcase those pedicured toes. The red heel adds a little twist. For our classic ladies, the closed toe shoes are quite sexy and trendy. Either style can be rocked with a nice pair of skinny jeans.

Leopard Prints
Leopard prints are for the ladies who want to show off their wild side – a little or a lot! They’re perfect for a hot date or simply a night out on the town. The wedge heels are a unique style with a gold heel. It is sure to catch anyone’s eye. Flaunt them with a nice pair of jeans. The style with the bow tie at the front accentuates your ankle and leg because there is no strap so rock them with a summer dress or mini skirt to lengthen the leg.
