Hello, its been a long time since I have updated my blog but I felt the need to discuss and elaborate on this subject thats been on my mind for a while and particularly since the launch of Her Best Kept Secret (ssssshhhhhh exactly)

Well I suppose this is the question on everyones lips, is it really cost effective to have your wedding shoes dyed? Well primarily yes the process is amazing because this ensures that you can choose from literally thousands of wedding shoes and have them dyed to match your wedding theme perfectly. Many wedding shoe brands including Rainbow Club and Paradox London offer this facility which is just perfect for the whole bridal party, bridesmaids can have shoes perfectly co-ordinating the dresses and flowergirls can also match.

One thing I will say is this service generally is extremely popular with the Mother Of The Bride but is it really affordable? generally suppliers who offer a dyeing service charge around £30.00 to complete this process and even then they are not colourfast and it is recommended that the consumer scotchguards them otherwise if you do have the unfortunate rain spell on your day your wedding shoes could potentially end up with drip marks as they are not colourfast, meaning after the event you may want them done againand you can only dye shoes darker than their original colour so yes I’ll ask the question again, is it really affordable?

As an avid reader of all the popular wedding magazines including Perfect Wedding and Wedding Ideas and a huge fan of wedding blogs such as Love My Dress and Rock N Roll Bride, it seems apparant to me that brides are embracing the colour phenomenon and choosing vibrant wedding shoes even with stripes / spots and all other pretty designs that gives their wedding theme a particular edge and can be worn time and time again, although of course the dyeing process means simple ivory shoes can be transformed into colours of your choice to wear for anniversaries and so on.

I think it is clear that there is a definite market for coloured wedding shoes, purposely made in those traditional and more elaborate colours that are affordable and eliminate the dyeing process so let me introduce my latest find “Her Best Kept Secret”, the focus of this brand is definitly colours, a few styles but loads of colour choices with more being introduced every season. Her Best Kept Secret was launched purely to eliminate the dyeing process making this brand an extremely popular choice for the whole bridal party.

I love this group shot of the Rosebud Wedding Shoes, a simple classical design incorporating a beautiful hidden platform and just look at those colours ! Personally I adore the Coral for a summer wedding, the sun shining, a beach wedding, an ivory wedding gown and coral shoes, I think this would look particularly fetching.

So yes personally I feel the coloured wedding shoe phenomenon is a huge element to this industry so well done to Her Best Kept Secret.
Not a huge blog for you this morning but I would certainly be interested in the views of this process

I know, I know it has been a while since I have blogged but we have been so busy here launching new products, attending wedding exhibitions not to mention doing our own, rest assured I am back now

See you all next week x

Well we’ve had our beautiful new wedding shoes, bridesmaids dresses and accessory showroom open for a week and so far so good, lots of interest not just by customers but by the local media and radio stations so fingers crossed but the reason for my blog this week is to update you on some very exciting news.

We’ve finally after a couple of years of hard work, dedication and of course the introduction of the showroom been awarded Rainbow Couture as a fabulous new edition to the Girls Of Elegance brands list. Let me tell you a little about Rainbow Club and then I’ll introduce the shoes. I must say they look very wonderful on our centrepiece right now

You are buying exclusivity and a truly unique look as all their brands are created in-house by a head of design.

All of their gorgeous products come beautifully packaged and in particular look out for the new stunning candy-stripped Rainbow Club boxes.

Girls Of Elegance and her sister companies 1st For Wedding Shoes & 1st For Bridal Shoes first started with the Else Wedding Shoes collection as one thing that really sets Rainbow Club apart from the rest as a company is that they do not market by numbers, to become a stockist you have to have a certain criteria ensuring that their brand is protected at all times, ok so we had to prove our worth during the last two years and it was an exciting and worthwhile challenge as we now offer the Else Wedding Shoes collection, Rainbow Clubs Wedding Shoes Collection and now the beautiful Rainbow Couture Wedding Shoes Collection, so lets introduce Rainbow Couture first of all.

Voila, that is all from me this week, now off to pack some shoes

Vintage Wedding Shoes seem to be the must have trend for this season.  We at Girls Of Elegance love all things vintage, I recently purchased a fabulous vintage polka dot dress from Call Me Betty who are renowned for their vintage flair and designs.  I personally know Leigh the owner and she never fails to impress with her range of dresses. We love the way she feature seasons within the ranges, incorporating skulls for halloween, melons for spring and polka dots for every day wear.

I wore one of these dresses for a recent cruise and teamed them with a pair of my own sparkly shoes.  Here is the picture of me (a little worse for wear)   As featured I wore a t-bar shoe of my own but on my next event I shall be dyeing a pair of our Vintage Wedding Shoes so that I can get that perfect match, okay so we can’t incorporate polka dots or melons but we can certainly match any colour thats required.

Our favourites from the Rainbow Club Collection has to be Party Girl, a fantastic t-bar shoe oozing comfort, with a supportive closed back and delicate pleating to the front, fully dyeable and fabulous, the next contender has to be Sexy from our favourite designer Paradox London for their Pink By Paradox affordable range.  This shoe is a constant seller for us and is it any wonder, the perfect compliment to any outfit, dressed up or down they are perfect.

The Zeta Wedding Shoes by the fabulous Benjamin Adams are a must have for all things vintage and currently at a reduced price of £99.00 down from £159.00, of course there is only limited stock availability but if you require vintage, swarovski crystals and the most beautiful silk fabric, we would really recommend these, again fully dyeable.

We recently received a blog post from someone who purchased our Flower Wedding Shoes, a flat vintage shoe incorporating pearls and diamantes within a vintage brooch.  Perfect for those vintage lovers who require a fabulous flat shoe we think.

Vintage Wedding Dresses seem to be a current trend too ranging from 50′s style with full petticoats and flair of which we hugely compliment for the bridesmaids with our own 50′s style bridesmaids dress design, available at a snippet of only £69.99 with the offering of plus size too, these dresses are available in White, Ivory, Sage, Cadburys Purple, Ice Blue, Baby Pink, Fuschia, Black, Chocolate Brown, Coral, Taupe, Burgundy, Red, Turquoise, Lilac, Royal Blue, Orange and Silver, phew I think thats covers nearly all of the wedding colour themes don’t you?  At the end of the day why should you have to wait an age to tick things off your wedding to do list? Deliverable normally within 10 working days (season permitted) and 98% already in stock.

We’re so excited about Vintage Wedding Shoes and Dresses that we’re currently in the latter stages of our own designs so watch this space, we will be sure to show them off as soon as they are ready, featuring a fantastic design and petticoat options, we are sure we will continue to be your one stop shop for wedding information and designs
