Trends
New year, new trends and so do bridal shoes. Women are increasingly looking for shoes that are comfortable but do not lose their elegance, that slim but do not make them want to throw them off in the middle of the day. So fashion comes to their aid, creating beautiful shoes with ergonomic insoles, platforms and wide heels to make every wish come true!
Like these by Francesco Couture and Albano!
But what really characterises bridal shoes 2024? The glitter! Yes, we will be ditching the glitter next year too, wearing jewelled sandals and pumps! The chanel (or slingback) is also making a comeback, not only in white but also in metallic colours, as Francesco Couture shows us.
Floral details, strictly in 3D, will dominate the scenes of the most imaginative brides! Who said you have to be sober at your wedding?
But let’s find out the trends specifically:
Comfortable heels: a life-saving choice
Spool or block, it doesn’t matter! For brides who prefer heels, it is important that these are comfortable to be worn all day long.
Between ceremony, reception, relatives photographers who will make you spend the day standing for the umpteenth selfie and the fateful dance, your feet will be put to the test. Better be prepared: a supportive heel will be your best ally.
And there are so many types. Decorated with glitter, covered in satin, leather… You’re spoilt for choice!
Chanel: let’s discover the heels
Here, too, there is something for everyone: the chanel model knows how to please even the most difficult tastes thanks to its design, which is always contemporary and revisited to suit current trends.
Whether you want them open-toed or pointed, with block or stiletto heels, this is a model that never disappoints and the big brands know it. This year, chanels seem to have taken on all the trends, redecorating and colouring themselves to suit all brides.
I brillantini: un romantico must-have
If you don’t want a trail of glitter, jewel shoes (most often pumps or sandals) are also very fashionable, where small luminous applications light up the shoe to embellish it.
A great proposal from fashion houses (picking up on the 2023 trend), are small strips embellished with diamantes that follow the line of the shoe or the shape of the foot or ankle.
3D flowers
In tulle or satin, it doesn’t matter: they will dominate the scenes along with the glitter. It is up to the bride to decide where she wants them applied. Heel? Toe? Ankle? The important thing is that the bride likes it!
A good choice especially for those getting married in spring, when the flowers will bloom, to bring a bit of nature with them.
Change of Shoes
And if before the end your feet are already red and swollen, then put your beautiful shoes back in their box and return to the party with a new, more comfortable and low-cut pair!
Whether trainers, sandals or flats, make sure the colour doesn’t clash and that they are comfortable enough to keep you walking until even the last relative has gone home.
Of course, even daring with a pair of Dr. Martens won’t make you go unnoticed (and not just because you are the brides and undisputed stars of the party), if only so as not to hide that rock soul that belongs to all women after all!
