Stylists Pick Kate Middleton’s Wedding Shoes

Wednesday, 20 April 2011 08:42

Just read a great post about the wedding shoes favored by royal princesses over at the Well Appointed House on royal wedding shoes.

It got us to thinking and talking about what wedding shoes Kate is going to choose. We were under the impression that she had already chosen something low and stable so that she wouldn’t trip while walking down the long aisle. That made a lot of sense to us since she’s already pretty tall. Most of the time, we see taller brides opt for comfort over height since they don’t need it as much. It’s our petite brides that tend to go for the platform wedding shoes.

So, what do our stylists think that Kate Middleton is going to pick? Or rather, what would our stylists pick if they were Kate Middleton? Here’s our thoughts on Kate Middleton’s princess wedding shoes:

Stacy: I’m loving the Badgley Mischka Dreamy Flower T-Strap Sandals. I’d love to see her in lots of gorgeous chiffon although I’m thinking she’s going to go with something more sleek for her wedding dress. Given that, if I were Kate, I would make my look a bit softer and prettier with these ivory wedding shoes. I just love how the flowers drape along the t-straps and grace the front of your feet. They are such a soft shoe and they make your feet look so girly. I love Kate’s style, but on your wedding day, I’d love to see her look get a little softer and more feminine.

Trish: If I were her, I’d go for the complete princess look. Something that draped over my feet with lots of jewels and rhinestones. That’s why, my choice would be the Manolo Blahnik Bejeweled Ankle-Wrap Sandal. Check out all of the little crystal rhinestones that dangle from your ankles. Those rhinestones, along with the ones in front provide your feet with the perfect jewelry for the big day. To me, a princess needs as many jewels as possible and why shouldn’t she be all decked out on her wedding day?

Sam: I’d go with the Manolo Blahnik Satin Ankle-Wrap d’Orsays in White. I think her dress is going to be so beautiful that she won’t need silver or rhinestones to stand out. To me, the subtleness of these white wedding shoes is perfect. These heels aren’t too high (3.5 inches), and also have the all important ankle strap. If I were her, I’d be worried about losing my shoe and then tripping and falling, so I think the strap at the ankle will allow her to calm her nerves. Plus, the open toe shoe is great for extra comfort since her toes won’t be squeezed into one of her trademark pumps.

Dani: The Louboutin Crystal Encrusted Suede Pumps would be my choice. I love the fact that the whole shoe is decorated in glamorous crystals. This is the perfect Cinderella shoe. Plus, you gotta love that red sole at the bottom. It just makes it unique. You can’t go wrong with the Louboutins and don’t forget how they always make your legs look just a little bit skinnier and a lot sexier.

Alex: I was looking for something bold for her, something like blue wedding shoes or a brighter color, but I found these instead – Guiseppe Zanotti Chiffon-Flower Sandals. The 3 flowers are just so dramatic and beautiful that I was in love. I think Stacy’s right – she’s going to go with a dress that is more subtle and less dramatic. If that’s the case, she definitely needs wedding shoes that are all out. If I were her, I’d go with these shoes just to add a little something different to her wedding day look.

OK ladies, there you have it. Our stylists have guessed which shoes Kate Middleton will wear. Do you agree with any of them? What do you think? If you were her, what would you choose?
