Sole-ful Essentials Every Bride Needs To Put Her Best Foot Forward

Marilyn Monroe once said, “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world”; and when the OG style ‘It’ girl says something, best believe we’re going to take it as the gospel truth!

Yet, the one day people, especially women, disregard the importance of good shoes the most, is their wedding day because of the misplaced belief that nobody would notice the shoes. News flash! We all see them. Whether or not you like it, every element of a bride and groom's look is subjected to intense scrutiny and the shoes are no exception.

Fret not, because we’ve put together a guide for you to put your best, most elegant foot forward this wedding season…

Essential shoes every bride needs in her arsenal

Kitten Heels

If sky-high stilettos are not your jam, you might want to consider the oh-so-graceful and on-trend kitten heels. Innately feminine and elegant, kitten heels can very well be termed the Grace Kelly of shoes.

Manifest Recommends: You can opt for the slingback style, like the Jimmy Choo and Jil Sander shoes, or mules like Bottega Veneta.

Pumps

You can't talk about occasion wear shoes and leave out pumps from the discussion. These shoes are the right balance between sexy and classy (Bonus tip: Toe cleavage will add that extra allure).

Manifest Recommends:Opt for the Ferragamos or Louboutins if you're a fan of bling, or go for the Manolos for a more dainty and feminine vibe.

Ballet Flats

Though ballet flats have always been a wardrobe staple, they are particularly hot on the runway this season. So it's about time we cop the trend for our wedding looks. These versatile shoes are perfect for those whose style is all about trying not too hard.

Manifest Recommends:Maximalist brides can pick the Khaite or Valentino flats, while minimalist brides can go for the Gucci flats. Traditional brides might want to consider the Inochhi flats for a more earthy feel.

Sandals

Opting for open-toe shoes will make sure your feet don't disown you by the end of the night. They are more breathable, while still being very stylish. Talk about a versatile trend!

Manifest recommends:If you like to make an entrance, pick the Burberry sandals. However, if you like lace, satin, and all things coquette, the Gianvito Rossis and Alberta Ferrettis are for you.

Mules

Who doesn't love slip-ons? I, for one, love shoes that are easy to get into and out of. Not to mention, the lack of back constraint will save you from the terrible shoe bites.

Manifest Recommends:These mesh mules from Mugler combine the best of two of the hottest footwear trends of the season.

Wedges

With a history of being the OG shoe for girls who put their comfort first but don't want to ditch their high heels, wedges are a no-brainer for this list. Now that they’re back in style, dance the night away in these oh-so-comfy shoes while looking like a million bucks. What's not to love!?

Manifest Recommends:If you want a shoe that goes with all your fits, you cannot go wrong with the Kate Spade sandals or a pair of Michael Kors’ mule style wedges.

Juttis

Last, but definitely not least, your wedding footwear collection cannot be complete without a par ofjuttis. Why should only your outfit have the most beautiful, intricate craftsmanship, when your shoes can too?

Manifest Recommends:Pair your delicate outfits (like a dainty pastelchikankarilehenga) with the Fizzy Goblet or House of Vianjuttis. Go for the Needledustjuttisfor a more show-stopping, blingy look.
