Which brand of wedding shoes should you select for your wedding day shoes? Well that is a difficult one to be honest as there are quite a few fabulous brands of wedding shoes around but here is an overview of them.

Pink By Paradox Wedding Shoes

The Pink By Paradox wedding shoes by Paradox London were the first brand we approved to sell via our store and certainly take centre stage in terms of popularity, we believe that this is due to the chic city styling, fabulous prices and with no fewer than 50 styles to choose from, they clearly are the leader in terms of assisting brides with the purchase of their wedding shoes.
Pink By Paradox wedding shoes offer the bride a fabulous range of styles including slingback, closed toe, closed back, vintage styles, peep toe, bows, flat shoes, mid heel, low heel right through to high heel wedding shoes.

The Pink By Paradox brand is young, fun and trendy offering a broad range of styles to suit the bride, bridesmaid & mother of the bride.

Pink styling is influenced very much by catwalk fashion trends, which are then translated into elegant and comfortable satin bridal shoes at a cost effective price for all.

Belle Wedding Shoes

Belle wedding shoes by Paradox London were introduced several years ago as an addition to their already successful collections, this mid budget range of wedding shoes are perfect for those wanting a silk wedding shoe but without the couture or boutique pricing.

This brand of wedding shoes is made from the finest ivory or white dyeable silk and has a fabulous range of fashionable styles to choose from. We feel the Belle By Paradox London collection is just perfect for those having silk bridal gowns. Peep toe wedding shoe styles certainly appears frequently throughout this wedding shoe brand.

Belle by Paradox London is a luxury handcrafted footwear collection that captures prevailing catwalk trends and unique crystal pieces to create a collection which is fundamentally unique. Belle by Paradox London encompasses lavish silk and alluring crystals which is combined with unique in-built comfort gel pads and soft leather lining to create a shoe which is not only chic but also comfortable.

Designed and created with beautiful crystals and embellishments along with the Belle By Paradox signature insoles, soft leather lining, shoe sizing from 210 and of course a few styles available in wide fitting, we can see why this award was given. Personally our sweetheart long bridesmaid dress seems to be very popular to compliment the range.

Benjamin Adams Wedding Shoes

The Benjamin Adams wedding shoe collection never fails to excite us here at Girls Of Elegance Limited, admittedly they are probably one of our favourite collections that we sell but there are many reason why. The first being swarovski, who doesn’t adore the ultimate sparkly that these crystals create?, teamed perfectly with both classic simple wedding dresses and of course those with plenty of sparkles to compliment. Let us tell you a little about them.

Benjamin Adams footwear was born to create luxurious and unique bridal footwear. They are glamorous, alluring and each piece has been created with a signature brand identity which is recognised fully as Benjamin Adams. Each design is striking, different and the luxury achieved through the intricate detailing and research into the ultimate of wedding shoe trends and trims. The head designer for the collection Alessandro Pavan who has worked with many leading italian brands has set out and succeeded in creating a luxury footwear range with using only the very finest chosen materials and stunning duchesse silk available.

The Benjamin Adams Wedding Shoes collection of which Girls Of Elegance Limited are an official platinum stockist are certainly worthy of A-list status and we are thrilled and proud that we as a company were awarded within the first two years this status as a leading seller of the brand for them.

The collection consists of approx 25 different wedding shoe styles with many strong influences year on year on various trends particularly vintage trims, platforms and elegant peep toes. The styles feature beautiful swarovski embellishments, brooch frontage designs and a fabulous range of comfortable heel heights.

In particular the Benjamin Adams wedding shoes collections feature a signature crystal adjustable buckle for those shoes requiring it, no stone was left unturned when this collection is revamped year after year. Soft cushioned insoles, leather linings and beautiful design and trims, what more could a bride ask for.

Hello everybody, back again blogging my way through the afternoon as I do have some fairly exciting news (I think), we’re in our 8th year of trading in beautiful wedding shoes and accessories and finally after all these years we have listened to the constant stream of customers asking us “can we come and visit you” and taken the plunge and created the only Southern Wedding Accessory showroom :)

Girls Of Elegance Southern Wedding Accessory Showroom
One thing we have always been informed during streams of market research is that there really are no places you can go and look at a large collection of wedding shoes, bridal shops tend to focus on purely the wedding dress itself with very few styles of wedding shoes available to view so voila we have completed the task and we are thrilled to be offering this exciting and new dynamic concept to the Girls Of Elegance brand.

Our wedding shoe and accessory showroom is by appointment only where you are left at your leisure for 45 minutes, no in your face sales staff unless you want to ask a question regarding our collections, look, touch and see right up close the fine detailing of over 125 bridal shoes from renowned brands such as the following.

We are also extremely proud to showcase our beautiful prom dresses and bridesmaids dress collections, we will have every colour / style available for you to look at, once you have chosen the dresses, we will order them and you can bring your bridesmaids, mother of the bride etc in for fitting purposes.

Vintage Style Bridesmaids Dresses

Well I thought I’d do yet another blog as I am becoming a little obsessed with doing them this week, so much so that I have created a big long list of things and features I feel the need to tell you about :)

I recently had the excitement of shooting all of our bridesmaids dresses and being involved in the whole process, stepping into a photographers world was quite daunting, we used Andy Cahill at Photoworks and I have never seen anything like it, this man knows his photography inside out what with being a commercial photographer for so many years. The shoot was done in a lovely old theatre using a couple of stunning models from London provided by Source Models, and a fabulous make up and hair stylist Frances Burns.

We used stunning hair flowers and hair pieces by Amanda Wyatt and Charlotte Balbier however we wanted something a little bit different for the vintage style, I managed to find a lovely girl through facebook who clearly knew her vintage hair pieces called Extra Special Touch and I fell in love with one of them.

Charlotte Balbier Hair Flowers

One thing we wanted to do this year was increase our vast collection of bridesmaids dresses by introducing some new fabulous styles and what with vintage being so big at the moment we knew we had to be part of that success in some way. I am very lucky to know an outstanding designer in this field not to mention other fields, Leigh (as she likes to be called) never fails to impress us or her vast customer base, stunning ranges, she listens to the customers and implements exactly what they want and we feel very lucky to have ascertained exclusivity to the beautiful Grace design in a small polka dot fabric. So thanks Call Me Betty Vintage ;) If you’d like to join the on facebook here they are

Don’t forget to join us too Girls Of Elegance Ltd

We wanted to shoot all of our bridesmaids dresses in the very best way we could, we have always gone for just a frontal image but they were looking dated and tired so we knew we had to do something this year to recreate our bridesmaids dresses and showcase them beautifully so we listened to our customers and went ahead with producing 4 or 5 images of every dress, showing the front, back, a casual view and of course close ups of any detailing that they may have. The shoot took two days but my god was it worth it.

Lets show you the vintage style bridesmaids dresses first of all, a new avenue of stunning colours and I am sure you will agree they are just fabulous.

The dresses are a beautiful polka dot vintage style swing dress, the dress has little cap sleeves, it has a full circle skirt, a curved bust seam with contrast piping and fullness into the seam. The dress has a detachable bow brooch at the front, it has a zip fastening at the back, It is boned for an extra flattering nipped in waist and lined to the waist. Now for the colours.

If however you decide that these dresses are not quite for you then we have a stunning collection of bridesmaids dresses featuring an amazing range of colours sure to suit your colour scheme and in a large variation of styles.
