Traditionally, brides getting ready to say "I Do" spend the majority of their planning on details such as flower arrangements, the venue, and the dress. In a more recent fad more time is being spent searching for the right accessory on their big day: the perfect pair of shoes.
Yep, I said it. Some brides are willing to spend up towards $1000 dollars on just the right pair of shoes. According to an article that can be found here, many different brides-to-be are searching for the right pair of shoes to complete their ensemble. And not in the classic white or ivory color. These brides are searching for the perfect pop of color to walk down the aisle.
To fit this newer trend there are certain business geared towards this niche market. Different websites like http://www.milkandhoneyshoes.com and http://figgieshoes.com/ specialize in designing one-of-a-kind shoes that can tell a love story if a bride is so inclined to do so.
Andrea Wasserman, the national bridal director for Nordstrom, says this new trend is introduced as these women purchase their wedding shows as 'Statement' shoes that they can wear long after their special day. Nordstrom designers have strategically designed their shoes to model after this trend. Big name designers like Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo are hitting the pavement on the big day and beyond. Also to market to these needs designers are ramping up their colors and going with brighter solids and adding lace to make their shoes stand out to today's modern bride. If the shoe fits, wear it down the aisle.
