Color Me Beautiful

This fall and winter, no matter what your length of dress, eye-catching styles and colors will be popular in bridal shoes.

Chunky Heels
Simple covered high heels and kitten heels, step aside for chunkier heel styles. Brides are wearing everything from thick stacked heels to platform wedges.

Embellishments
Decorative accents on your wedding shoes, including rhinestones and other jewels finish off the couture look this season.

Burst of Color
Shoes in reds, plums and greens are becoming increasingly popular as brides match their wedding shoes with their bridesmaids’ dresses. Black bridal shoes are also trendy.

Contrasting Heels
Like Christian Louboutin’s signature red heels, many brides are choosing shoes which feature a contrasting heel color. Off-white shoes with jewel-toned heels, white heel pumps with black heels, and pastel shoes with coordinating bright heels are nice choices.

Patent Leather
Bridal shoes, particular peep-toe pumps, in patent leather are extremely popular this season. From black patent peep-toes to purple patent Mary Janes, the sleek shine of patent adds glamour to your wedding attire.

Trends in Bridal Shoes

These shoes feature bronze sequins all over for lots of shine. These evening sandals have a delicate leather Mary Jane strap, a 4-inch heel, and a little peep-toe. They are definitely a very glitzy, feminine choice.

Bronze shoes are great because you can wear them with both brown and black. These shoes would also look great with jewel tones, as well as deep burgundy, forest green and plum. You can pre-order these Miu Miu sandals right now at Saks Fifth Avenue for $865. They will ship before the end of October.

Fashion in the O.C.

The color block style, wide hem of a contrasting color, yellow material, and pleating are all very *in* and trendy elements this season.  I especially like how they did a smooth pleat on the bodice leading into the pleat at the top of a full skirt.  This is a really nice design.

Accessorize it with this Andrew Marc white leather handbag (which is currently reduced by $220) or these Jessica Simpson yellow wedge heels (which are 41% off)!

All items are available when you shop online for clothes and accessories at smartbargains.com.  In addition to every item already being marked down, they also have a clearance section where they discounted their discounts!  They ship to the United States.
