Whether you grew up watching Cinderella twirl in that gorgeous blue dress or you had one treasured storybook (or three!) with wonderful illustrations, those beautiful ball gowns had us dreaming of fairytale weddings. And who could ever forget those glass slippers?
Want dreamy wedding shoes that capture the essence of those iconic heels? This week’s See Jane posts feature ideas for finding the perfect pair to wear to every event from your Engagement Party to your After Party…
EMBELLISH YOUR STORY
While wearing glass slippers isn’t outside the realm of possibility...you can capture the light (and a few gasps from guests!) by focusing on options with stunning crystals, a shimmer of glitter or a whimsical yet sophisticated detail.
One of our favorites is a strappy black Gucci sandal with crystal embellishment (pictured above via Jane's polyvore account). They combine a classic design, black-tie appropriate color and an element of the unexpected – which is exactly what you want in a show-stopping look! We love these paired with a little black (or black and white!) dress like our Morgan.
Seeking something whimsical? We love the idea of slipping on stunning sandals with floral or butterfly accents á la Valentino, Rene Caovilla or Sophia Webster (all pictured above) for your Bridal Shower or Bridesmaids’ Luncheon. This look is perfect when worn with a clean, modern silhouette like the Della.

White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
