There are a lot of wedding shoes out there that can compliment your beautiful wedding dress. You just have to know which style goes with your dress. Some wedding shoes go well with long gowns, while some fit short evening dresses best. To determine which “shoe fits,” here are three wedding shoes which compliment different types of wedding dresses. All of them are created by British Designer Diane Hassall.

Buttercup is a Victorian style tie wedding shoe. This shoe is made from an ivory silk, embellished with vintage style lace and comes with either soft organza ties or velvet ties – all of which make a dreamy vintage wedding shoe.  Buttercup has a heel height of 3.5 inches, and weighs approximately 1.80 pounds. This shoe style perfectly compliments traditional wedding dresses with Cathedral trains because of its classic vintage design.

Sweet Briar is a handmade, classic peep toe wedding shoe with a cut-out waist to the inside. It has ivory, vintage lace and a beautiful silk rose which elegantly adorns the toes. The shoe has a heel height of just over 3 inches and weighs about 1.80 pounds. This is the perfect shoe to compliment tee length or short wedding dresses because of its elaborate design and impeccable detail. Its elegant and sophisticated design is perfect for a simple, no-frills wedding gown. Sweet Briar needs to be seen and you will be complemented on your style and taste.

Marinette is an open waisted court ivory wedding shoe embellished with scalloped lace edging, a charming velvet bow, and an exquisite spotted tulle. Walk the aisle as if you’ve just got out of a romantic, 18th century fairytale with the shoe’s classic and dreamy “Marie Antoinette era” feel. This shoe, which has a heel height of 3 ¼ inches, is best for less formal dresses, wedding suits, and A-line dresses.

Each shoe can be emblazoned with your wedding date to serve as the perfect reminder of the “greatest day of our life.” Each Diane Hassall shoe is wrapped in designer paper and put in a designer style drawer box. She even has a special note for you. Whatever your wedding dress might be, Diane Hassall ivory wedding shoes are the perfect footwear for your wedding day. Beautiful and exquisite handmade designs – that’s the Diane Hassall trademark.

Wedding dresses that are cut to skim the body are refered to as Bias cut dresses. These dresses are normally made from Charmuse, silk and crepe.

The overall look that these wedding dresses create is that of Hollywood glamour and can reflect a very plain and simple elegance.

To achieve this look from head to toe, we suggest it would be a good idea to choose wedding shoes with a slender heel and a height that will elongate your frame.

Simple shapes in plain smooth satins will perfectly complement this style of wedding dress and if the dress has no detail at all, choose a wedding shoe with a simple yet bold design feature.

Benjamin Adams and Rainbow Couture are two collections that we would suggest that you take a look at, each range has wedding shoes to complement your long slinky dress.
