Once you’ve found your wedding dress, the next lovely decision is what to wear with it. Your shoes might only peek out as you walk, or they might be part of the look from the moment you arrive. Either way, they’re a chance to add something that feels like you.
At Laima Bridal, you can choose your wedding dress and shop for your bridal shoes in the same online boutique. Our Rara Avis bridal shoe collection ranges from understated ivory court shoes to lace heels covered in delicate embellishment. There are pointed toes, slingbacks, ankle ties and different heel heights, so you can choose the shape and details that suit your dress and the way you want to move on the day.
Let the dress lead
Look at what first drew you to your dress. If it was the clean lines of a satin gown, a pointed ivory shoe can carry that simplicity through. If it was the floral lace, you might echo it in your shoes or choose a quieter style that lets the lace take centre stage.
RS 095 is a pared-back pointed court shoe with a fine ivory mesh upper and a closed back. For a similar look with an open heel, RS 095A is a slingback with a lower heel and an adjustable strap. Both work beautifully with a full-length gown, where a glimpse of the pointed toe may be all you see as you walk.
Choose a detail worth showing off
A bridal mini or a gown with a front split gives your shoes more room to shine. RS 095C has a soft bow across the pointed toe and a slim slingback strap. It’s a lovely way to add a little romance to a simple dress.
For more sparkle, RS 096 combines lace with pearl-like beads and sequins, while RS 097 brings the floral lace pattern to the foreground. If you love the look of ankle ties, RS 101 pairs them with an embellished mesh toe, and RS 102 offers a similar silhouette with a lower heel and closely scattered pearl-like details.
Think about the whole day
Picture your walk down the aisle, the places you’ll stop for photographs and the moment you step onto the dance floor. An outdoor ceremony or a venue with uneven ground may influence which heel you choose. If you’re planning a second look for the reception, try your shoes with both outfits to see how the proportions feel.
Once you’ve chosen your pair, bring them to your dress fitting so your seamstress can set the hem at the height you’ll actually wear. It’s a small step that makes it easier to see how the dress will fall and move on the day.
