From rich winter shades to all-day comfort, here’s what to look for when choosing the perfect shoes for a winter wedding.
The right pair of wedding shoes can make all the difference - especially for a winter bride.
From richer colour palettes and luxurious textures to long days spent moving between ceremony, photographs and the dance floor, winter weddings bring their own considerations when it comes to choosing your shoes.
So, what should you look for? And which styles work best?
Choose a Colour That Feels Like Winter.
Winter gives you the perfect opportunity to be a little more adventurous with your bridal shoes.
Of course, classic ivory will always be beautiful. But there is something about the deeper, richer tones of the season that works so beautifully with bridal.
Think wine, burgundy, blue and pearl tones.
A little pop of colour beneath an ivory gown can feel unexpected without taking away from the overall look.
And sometimes, it is the smallest details that make the biggest difference.
Our Mia Wine, for example, was created with exactly this in mind. Rich, romantic and effortlessly elegant, her deep wine satin feels made for autumn and winter weddings.
Comfort Matters More Than Ever.
Winter weddings often mean braving the cold for those all-important photographs, moving between indoor and outdoor spaces and spending more time wrapped up between moments of the day.
And once you are back inside, there is still the ceremony, photographs, catching up with guests, dinner and, of course, dancing to get through.
Your wedding shoes need to keep up with all of it.
That is why comfort is something we have always considered when designing our shoes. Our styles feature memory foam technology, designed to keep you comfortable from those first steps down the aisle to the last dance.
Find a Fit That Works for You.
The perfect winter wedding shoe is not just about how it looks.
It is about how it feels.
Whether you prefer an elegant slingback or something a little more fashion-forward, finding a style that feels secure and comfortable is key.
Our adjustable slingback styles are particularly lovely if you want a little more flexibility throughout the day, while our wide-fit-friendly styles mean you do not have to compromise on style if you need a little more room.

So, which styles would we choose for a winter wedding?
If you are looking for something a little richer for your winter wedding, Mia Wine is an obvious choice. Her deep wine satin feels perfectly suited to the season, adding a beautiful pop of colour beneath an ivory gown.
For a classic ivory bridal look, London Pearl and Olympia Ivory are two of our favourites. Both feature a closed-toe silhouette, making them a beautiful choice for colder-weather celebrations, while their elegant finishes keep the overall look timeless and effortlessly bridal.
And finally, Mia Blue is a beautiful way to incorporate your Something Blue, and bring a little colour to your look.
