The Big 50s Style Wedding Shoe Post!

I must admit I think I have deveoped a serious shoe fetish researching for this post. I found it hard to narrow my choices down, which is why I have shown rather a large selection!



When choosing shoes to go with your 50s style wedding dress there are a few paths to consider taking. Think Mary Janes, peep toe styles, bows and polkadots to take that retro styling right from head to toe.

You can add a bit of personality with detailing such as vintage style bling or rockabilly style skull print. You may also consider matching your shoe colour with your sash and petticoat for a stunning contrast to your dress.
