Every now and then, we love a little break from bridal gowns to focus on the footwear and the baubles. Today, is just a pretty post with some of our favorite shoes and accessories for brides.  So, hope you enjoy just a little eye candy for the day.

Here is an alternative view of the sweet Jimmy Choo’s from above… These are incredibly genius, especially for brides being that they are wedges!  Gives some height, but also a bit more forgiveness for dancing throughout the evening.

These Christian Louboutins could not have been more perfect for our glam bride… The sheer lace pattern says bridal but in an ultra sleek way… Loved the bauble shot that accompanied this by Corbin… and notice the groom’s cufflinks with the wedding date!

For our blue and white bride, pearls get an modern update with the chicest Dolce and Gabbana and the kitten heel height is great for keeping a bride on her feet all night.

These wedding day photos of a brides’ accessories could be framed and hung in the house somewhere (closet, powder room)… They are a different take and have a special meaning from the wedding day, and isn’t just another photo of couple.

What says bridal more than these Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby d’Orsay pumps

These Jimmy Choo golden strappy heels are classic for a bride and easily worn with other ensembles without coming off as “bridal” afterewards…

A great time was had by all at Kate McDonald’s Spring Bridal event held at her darling shop on King Street. Katherine previewed several new bridal and party dresses, and the champagne was flowing!

These sweet little favors are custom poured candles by a local candlemaker.. I dropped mine and broke it, so I can’t show you the cuteness.

This time of year in Charleston is always crazy, starting with SEWE (Southeastern Wildlife Expo) at the end of February, then the Charleston Wine and Food Festival, the Historic Charleston Antiques Show, and of course Baker Motor’s Charleston Fashion Week.  We are mostly looking forward to the Spring Bridal Show.  We are headed to the tents on Saturday and will be live tweeting and instagramming from the shows … stay tuned!
