A bridal shoe doesn’t need sparkle to make you look twice. Sometimes, the appeal is when its proportions are familiar, yet a little unexpected.

Heeled ballet flats, soft, glove-like pumps or a barely-there ‘nipple’ heel - a tiny protrusion underfoot lower still than a kitten heel - the detail is in the shape, bringing interest to a simple gown without needing much else. 

Our advice? Follow that instinct, and have a little fun with it. Pair a soft ballet shape with a crisp skirt suit, or let a sculptural heel interrupt the simplicity of a column gown. It’s all about following your instinct and embracing the weird. 

Here, our styling team selects the new-generation heel shapes to add to your bridal wardrobe, from Loewe and Le Monde Béryl to H&M and Massimo Dutti.
