Wedding Shoes The Rock n Roll Bride Way
Here at Upper Street we are all about individuality and that unique element that makes heads turn and produces a smile and a nod in recognition of something special. This is why we love the uber fabulous wedding blog, Rock n Roll Bride written by Kat Williams. Like us she believes your wedding should be about you, your style, your own taste and not dictated by industry, the latest celebrity trend or overbearing family members!
As part of our celebration of the month of love and all things romantic, we asked Kat to design six shoes for themed weddings that would reflect elements of the brides personality and style and talk us through her inspiration. She declared her shoe love in the form of these gorgeous designs…
1920′s
“The 1920’s was a time of glamour but with a quirk (drop waist dresses with sparkle!), so for my 1920s style shoe I didn’t want to go safe, I wanted to add a twist and a bit of quirk myself. To do this I chose a grey colour scheme and an almost ombre effect on the straps. I think this shoe would be perfect for a vintage themed wedding but one where the bride still wants to look up to date.”
1940′s
“To me, the classic brogue is synonymous with 1940′s styling. I love the elegant suited look of the 40’s and I’d love to see a bride wearing one with these shoes!”
1950′s
“What could be sexier than bright bright red!? I knew I wanted this colour for my 50s style shoe and the peep toe and bow combo is also perfect! I could see Marilyn Monroe rocking these couldn’t you?”
Gothic Wedding
“Gothic weddings can often be assumed to be all dark and macabre, but that doesn’t have to be the case! So for my Gothic inspired shoes I wanted to add a bit of sass with the purple animal trim and sexiness with the patent black and the point!”
Girlie Boho
Blush satin leopard heart ballet flat
“Ballet flats are perfect for a boho bride – comfortable and casual, there really was no other choice for me! I also wanted to add a girlie edge with the baby pink satin.”
Urban Wedding
“City chic at it’s best! This striking and modern shoe style would suit an urban wedding perfectly and the grey colour palette shows you mean business.”
