For those who can't afford the dizzy heights of Dior or Aruna Seth, most bridal shoes you'll see on offer are pretty uninspiring: usually strappy, flimsy, covered in cheap crystals, and generally naff. If you don't intend to let anyone see under your dress then I guess that's okay: the only job the shoes need to do is lift you far enough off the ground to get safely down the aisle in one piece! But for those of us who'd like to express our love for shoes as much as for our new husband, exciting wedding footwear is a must.
Irregular Choice is one brand that proves you don't have to spend a lot of money to do this. Some of their styles are so fabulously OTT that they're ideal wedding wear for the adventurous bride, and that's what newlywed Sophie-Jayne Dalton Tebby decided to go for on her own big day. The dusky pink brocade shoes are embellished with feathers and an oversized corsage, and will be available in Schuh from next month.
