“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” – Marilyn Monroe

Shoe Jewelry

Pearl & Rhinestone Shoe Clips $17.95

 

Marilyn nailed it on this one. How do shoes make us women so confident in our walk? Shoes can change a woman from girl-next-door to sexy vixen.

Brides, too, want to achieve the balance between sweet and sultry. A little surprise under the dress – the perfect pair of panties, bridal shoes and sexy garter – will make your man want head to the honeymoon suite before the reception is over.

So if you can’t afford couture wedding shoes or designer bridal shoes, or you’re looking to dress up your heels, shoe jewelry adds that extra sparkle to a simple pair of footwear.

Say goodbye to ordinary and hello to dazzling bridal shoe clips adorned with rhinestones or pearls and in various shapes, like bows, butterflies, buckles, buttons, hearts and brooches.

But shoe clips aren’t just for brides. Dress up bridesmaid shoes with accessories that won’t break the bank. Add a unique touch to high heels for special occasions. Give the perfect gift to your shoe-adoring girlfriend.

Shoe jewelry gives you the glamorous look for less and allows you to customize your bridal shoes. If the bridesmaids are wearing different heels down the aisle in the same color, unite the theme with rhinestone shoe clips.

These shoe accessories make great bridesmaid gifts and can also be attached to a clutch or purse. Read this article by Bridal Banter for ways to accessorize a simple wedding dress.

Bridesmaid Shoes: To Match or Not To Match?

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Above, the matching knee length royal blue dresses contrast beautifully with various yellow shoes. It looks polished but not overdone.

The debate continues. . . matching bridesmaid dresses and/or matching shoes? It depends what look you’re going for. If you like the clean, monochromatic look of the same gowns, then why not let them wear different – but coordinating – footwear? It also saves some cash for the maids who can select a style they’d wear again.

Below, the bride wears the same shoes as the bridesmaids, while the neckline of their dresses mimics that of the bridal gown. Love the deep purple bridesmaids gowns and matching fuschia flats with bows.

Like most women (and shoeaholics, too), we love shopping for shoes. Of course, the end result always looks good! It’s just a matter of taste and preference.

Pictures of real weddings provide plenty of inspiration for shoes that are classic, romantic, modern, casual or have a big wow factor.

Do you want your shoes to match the bridesmaids or do you want an exclusive style down the aisle? Do you want pops of color or hues of ivory, white and champagne.

Shop Advantage Bridal for affordable wedding shoes, designer bridal shoes, bridal flip flops, bridal cowboy boots and couture heels, as well as shoe clips for a special touch.

Style Watch: Celebrity Bridesmaids

Celebrity Bridesmaids

Celebrity bridesmaid Jessica Biel wears a two piece ensemble. Photo: Celebrity Bride Guide

Celebrity brides get all the attention, but what about celebrity bridesmaids? Sometimes the star takes center stage, even if she doesn’t mean to, as was the case with bridesmaid Jessica Biel’s gorgeous two-piece ensemble at a friend’s wedding in Bronxsville, New York, in May 2011.

Each maid wore a different style and color dress, while Jessica’s cowl neck silk top and floral embroidered skirt stole the show with its intricate, subtle design and hues. We’re loving her dark brown locks, too; such pretty contrast with the dress.

This isn’t the first time Jessica Biel walked the aisle as a maid. She was a bridemaid for friend and 7th Heaven co-star Beverly Mitchell’s wedding in Italy in 2008. The girls in the wedding party wore matching brown gowns by the Melissa Sweet Vineyard collection.

Many stars have played the supporting role to the bride, such as Jessica Alba, Tory Spelling, Kate Bosworth and Jennifer Garner. Check out this album of celebrity bridesmaids by Celebrity Bride Guide.

Even the stars get stuck in frocks that we would never wear in public again. . .

If single, these ladies will one day be celebrity brides.

To dress up your bridal party, visit Advantage Bridal for bridesmaid gloves, shoes, jewelry, clutches, gifts, feather fascinators, headbands and flower girl accessories.

 

 

Are You A Shoeaholic?

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Arbie Goodfellow Couture: Fluer

Shoeaholics, be warned: Shopping for bridal shoes could rekindle your obsession! Just check out this guest blogger post at Martha Stewart Weddings, in addition to these black and white Chanel heels at Merci New York.

Shopping for wedding shoes is almost as fun as choosing your wedding dress. The right shoes will look fantastic with your gown and in pictures.

While style is key, comfort shouldn’t be overlooked.

From the time you slip into your gown until your last dance, you’ll be on your feet more hours than you may realize.

Choosing the right pair:

  • The style of your wedding shoes should complement your gown. You don’t want them to clash with or overpower your bridal ensemble.
  • Consider the venue before selecting high heels – you’ll get caught in the grass in stilettos. Wear wedge shoes or square heels, bridal flats or sandals for an outdoor venue or beach wedding.
  • Pick a heel height you’re comfortable wearing. If you don’t wear heels, practice wearing them around the house until you feel OK.
  • Break your shoes in or you could suffer later. Shoe inserts and pads help make heels more comfortable.
  • Choose a pair you love! If you love stilettos, get them and then have a backup pair of flats for the reception.

Selecting color:

  • Traditional brides lean toward ivory or white heels to match their gown.
  • Modern brides opt for bold colors, statement heels or designer shoes they can wear after the wedding.
  • Keep in mind; colors vary so view it in the correct lighting.
  • Dyeable shoes are a great choice for custom colors. Make sure fabric samples are at least 2” x 2” for the best match.
  • For Dyeables, ask about the cast of the color and examine the shoe in a light box. Achieving an exact match might be difficult, so pick a complementary color instead.

Save or splurge:

  • There are plenty of options for bridal shoes under $100 or wedding shoes under $50 on the market, but don’t forget comfort.
  • Affordable shoes are fine since you’ll only wear them once. You can also find a pair you’ll wear again that don’t say “bride.”
  • Shop designer and couture bridal shoes if it’s time to splurge. You’ll be amazed at the details, quality and unique styles available.

If you had more fun shopping for shoes than you did shopping for your dress, send pics of your fabulous footwear to Advantage Bridal so we can see why! Confessions of a shoeaholic will be kept anonymous :)
