Top Bridal Shoe Trends for 2012






What style of wedding shoes will you walk down the aisle in?




2012 brides are chic, practical and budget-conscious. And when it comes to their wedding shoes, they want an array of colors, styles and heel heights to choose from. 
 
Versatility 
 2012 brides want to walk down the aisle in a pair of shoes they can wear again! Makes sense, doesn't it?! This practical desire is driving the colored shoe trend, and means more brides are searching for unique, non-traditional wedding shoe styles.
 
Jeweled Brooch Accents
Designers like Badgley Mischka offer swoon-worthy wedding shoes with dazzling brooch adornments on everything from peep-toe d'orsay pumps to kitten heeled slip ons. For brides seeking a more custom feel, bring an antique heirloom brooch into a reputable bridal boutique, and ask them to apply it to a simple pair of heels. If you buy the unadorned shoes from that boutique, they should do the brooch applique on the house.
 
Platforms 
Brides tying the knot in 2012 are not afraid of sky high heels! Platform wedding shoes are more popular than ever, featuring gorgeous details like Swarovski crystals, textured rosettes and sheer, illusion fabric.
 
Bling, Bling
Crystals, rhinestones and sparkle, oh my! Brides are gravitating toward crystal-embellished shoes and putting their own personal style on simpler designs." Shimmery metallics are still on-trend, with gilded golds, and dazzling silvers & pewters, dominating.
 
A Bold Touch
2012 brides are thinking beyond the white wedding shoe.  They're looking for styles that are semi-traditional, but with a funky, edgy pop.  Animal prints, jewel tones and avant-garde details are on-deck for 2012!
