Shoes glorious shoes!

I’m obsessed with shoes and Chris is obsessed with Whiskey and so we have decided to name half of our tables after Scottish Single Malts and the other half after my favourite shoe designers. Our guests will either sit at Glenmorangie, Laphroaig, Talisker, Ardberg, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, or Terry de Havilland tables.

Yesterday, I was at the UK Fashion Export Awards and to my delight so was Terry de Havilland. I was so excited to meet the man himself and introduced myself to him. I gushed about how much I loved his shoes and told him I was actually going to name one of my wedding tables after him. He and his wife Liz were so sweet and we chatted for hours. They make bespoke shoes and said they would be able to make me my wedding shoes. I can’t believe it, I’m going to have a one-off pair of shoes made for the most important day of my life by one of my favourite designers. It’s so exciting!! Because my wedding dress is so traditional I’m going to go for really amazing shoes in the colour of my bridesmaid dresses (think Cadbury dairy milk purple) as I think it will add a really interesting twist. They’ll be something I cherish forever and knowing that nobody else in the world has a pair like them will make them all the more special.

There are lots of shoe companies that can create bespoke shoes for your big day and a number of them exhibited at the National Wedding Show. It’s a great way of having something really personal and unlike your dress you’ll be able to wear them time and time again. They are definitely worth investing in.
