Who hasn't fantasised about their 'D-Day,' whether it's in a classic red gown or a neo-pink pastel, with décor of crimson roses or mustard marigolds, bohemian nuptials by the beach or storybook wedding at a palace? Every element is meticulously considered. But, strangely, we wind up prolonging our footwear choices till the last minute, which negatively impacts our entire appeal. The shoes that bring strength to your stride should be as special as walking down the aisle.
Swipe right for the ideal combination of footwear this wedding season with recommendations from our style expert Ankur Rastogi, Head of Collection at Bata India.
A Grand Entrance
The lustre of big fat Indian weddings calls for a prodigious contender. Make your grand entrance with a glimmering pair of golden heels. The best part - they work with most colours ranging from white to black and red.
A Dancing Star
The playlist is set, the choreography memorised and the bridesmaids ready - this is your Bollywood moment! Combine the chic with comfort with a pair of embroidered juttis and be ready for a dance-off.
A Kolhapuri Romance
Nothing speaks ethnic louder than a pair of Kolhapuri. You can pair them with your indo-western looks for the K factor. The shades of tan complement the greens of mehendi and score an A in terms of ease and comfort.
A Starry Night
When you are the star of your own show, your footwear shouldn’t fade into the background. Add a dash of sparkle to your cocktail look with these stone-studded black heels.
A Dapper Streak
Sneakers are all the rage so why not fuse your traditional look with a modern touch? Ditch the dupatta and add a twist of denim jacket over your lehenga along with a pair of pure white sneakers for a dapper look.
A Chic Look
While bling is great for evening revelry, pastels and nudes are the choice of vogue for daytime outdoor celebrations. Break the clutter and slip on a pair of nude heels to add a soft elegant touch to your look.
An Experimental Act
Ditch the FOMO and hop on to the edgy wagon with this metallic grey pair. Strappy heels are the dream you forgot could fit right in with your OOTD or OOTN.
