Tips on how to shop for wedding shoes, preloved


If you have been trying to plan your wedding over the past 12 months, COVID-19 has certainly thrown many spanners into your plans. But whilst COVID-19 can mess up our plans, it won't stop us planning the perfect big day. That includes choosing the right pair of bridal shoes. But how do you strike a balance between buying something luxe as a special-something for yourself, and not investing in something that will just be worn once? Whatever your choice or plan for your dress is, you now have to do it over again with your bridal shoes too! 

Buying a pair of vintage, designer heels can be a great way to insert a bit of timeless luxury into your special day, whilst still being sustainable and even saving a few pennies. The perfect option for your something old.

If you're looking for a classic silhouette with a twist, look no further than Christian Louboutin's uptown double 100 kid court heels. These black and white, pointed heels with a double ankle strap will add a level of sophistication and marry well (see what we did there?) with any bridal dress. You can't go wrong with a pair of Louboutin's in your wardrobe and they will slot effortlessly into your existing collection, post their debut outing.

For something that's a bit more show-stopping, this pair of Stuart Weitzman nudistsong stardust 105 heels will add a playful sparkle to your outfit - the perfect accompaniment to a modern teacup dress or maxi gown with a slit - these heels deserve to shine. Post-wedding, these heels are a fun way to spice up the classic nice top and jeans combo.

For the bride that's looking to achieve the minimalist look with their footwear, then this pair of Stuart Weitzman nudist stappy suede sandals will fit the bill. These barely-there sandals are super versatile and will suit any dress or tailored two-piece. A great option to invest as the number of looks and occasions this pair of heels will suit are endless.

If it's a bit of glitziness that you're after, then this pair of Gianvito Rossi tie up heeled sandals in gold are a beautiful option for a pair of bridal shoes to finish off your outfit. This pair of heels will also work great post-the big day for any occasion, from after-work drinks with the girls, all the way to bringing in the New Year in style.

Aesthetics aside, to ensure you're investing in a pair of bridal shoes you'll want to wear again and again, make sure:

  • They're comfortable! There's no point in suffering in beautiful but brutal heels. You want to be able to dance the night away with no fear of blisters.
  • They're versatile. Opt for a pair you can see fitting seamlessly into your existing wardrobe. A classic silhouette will be more timeless than something too trend-led.
  • They're preloved. It's a sustainable way to shop, cost-effective and if you're not wearing heels on a regular basis - a good way to invest in a luxe piece without the breaking the bank.
