Top Bridal Shoe Trends for 2012

Salam you alls.

It's been a week I didn't post anything on my blog.  Today I would like to share an article I came across. It's about "WEDDING SHOES" for 2012 B2Bs!

A wonderful wedding dress put on using a great pair of shoes. Agree? =)

Here's the article which I thought it's true.

2012 brides are chic, practical and budget-conscious. And when it comes to their wedding shoes they want an array of colors, styles and heel heights to choose from.  Women's Wear Daily interviewed folks from some of the top bridal accessories boutiques to find out what brides really want in their wedding day kicks. So these are their answers:

Versatility—2012 brides want to walk down the aisle in a pair of shoes they can wear again! Makes sense, doesn't it?! This practical desire is driving the colored shoe trend, and means more brides are searching for unique, non-traditional wedding shoe styles.

Jeweled Brooch Accents—Just check out our wedding shoe gallery to see this trend in action! Designers like Badgley Mischka offer swoon-worthy wedding shoes with dazzling brooch adornments on everything from peep-toe d'orsay pumps to kitten heeled slip ons. For brides seeking a more custom feel, bring an antique heirloom brooch into a reputable bridal boutique, and ask them to apply it to a simple pair of heels. If you buy the unadorned shoes from that boutique, they should do the brooch applique on the house.

Platforms—Brides tying the knot in 2012 are not afraid of sky high heels! Platform wedding shoes are more popular than ever, featuring gorgeous details like Swarovski crystals, textured rosettes and sheer, illusion fabric.

Bling, Bling—Crystals, rhinestones and sparkle, oh my! According to Kim Hall at Chicago's Left Bank, "Brides are gravitating toward crystal-embellished shoes and putting their own personal style on simpler designs." Shimmery metallics are still on-trend, with gilded golds, and dazzling silvers & pewters, dominating.

A Bold Touch—2012 brides are thinking beyond the white wedding shoe.  They're looking for styles that are semi-traditional, but with a funky, edgy pop.  Animal prints, jewel tones and avant-garde details are on-deck for 2012!

I'm so in love with this shoes!!! It has mostly the properties above. Versatile? Yes. Jeweled Brooch Accents? Yes. Bold Touch? Yes. Platform? Yes. The most important thing, it's SEXY!!! *drools*

Wedding Shoes by Aruna Seth

This costs 595 UK pounds. Approximately 1.2K Brunei dollars. *gulp* Wow!!! Where can i find this kind of shoes in Brunei with a reasonable price? Suggestions?

I already have shoes for most of my events. Lucky I bought them while I was in UK. I just need one more for my reception.

It's hard to find wedding shoes in Brunei. I might try to have a look on the platform shoes first. Wish me luck! I would love to try one. I prefer peep-toe, it's in trend right now. Final resort will be Shoe Lovers or Cest Moi. They don't have these platform shoes i think but they do have lots of blingy shoes. It's pretty and colourful. Price range? Not bad compared to 1.2K. Hehe. Best time to buy is during sale time. =)

Why choose "PLATFORM" wedding shoes?

The point of bridal platform shoes is to make your feet more comfortable since they won’t have to arch that high. Your feet won't hurts. Besides, it'll make you even taller.

Want something unique yet elegant? It's the stunning bridal wedge!!!

Something modern?

Which 2012 shoe trend is right up your alley?  What style of wedding shoes will you walk down the aisle in?

More on shoes next time, on the fabric perhaps? Bye.
