At this snowy wedding, the bride's azure heels each got a silver sixpence for good luck.
This fashion-editor bride crafted her own headpieces by attaching gold-beaded leaf trim to a barrette and a headband.
At this colorful wedding, the bride sported bold Stuart Weitzman open-toe pumps.
Around her neck, Heather wore a Victorian-era compass on a long gold chain, which the groom gave to her as a birthday present one year.
In palette, and in fitting with the traditional wedding-day rhyme, Anna sported something blue -- Prada pumps.
This bride’s strapless gown was accented at the waist with a jeweled pin.
Lauren wore a small birdcage veil by Artikal Millinery from Kleinfeld.
Cecily bought her gold Christian Louboutin heels during her "sisterette" (a family-only take on a bachelorette) weekend in Paris.
Instead of a veil, Jenn wore two fabric flowers in her hair. They were made by Etsy vendor Cultivar.
A fabulous buttery leather Chanel clutch, Chanel bow bracelet, and white Christian Louboutin pumps finished off Annie’s wedding-day look.
The bride, who is known to shuttle around the city in Superga sneakers, gifted her bridesmaids with a pair tied to each of their chairs, the better to kick off their heels during the reception. As for her, she kept her heels on, despite the sneaks that dangled from her own seat. She saved those for the next morning, a charming reminder of the roaring time they had shared with family and friends the night before.
Taylor's runway-worthy Azzedine Alaia heels echoed her wedding's Jazz Age theme. "I wear those shoes twice a month," says Taylor.
Erin’s gold Loeffler Randall wedges made walking on the grassy grounds a cinch at her North Carolina nuptials.
The bride slipped on shearling wedges with pink ribbons for her outdoor photos. It was winter in Vermont, but she didn’t compromise style for warmth.
The bride's "something borrowed" came courtesy of Oliver's cousin. She lent Lara their grandmother's diamond drop earrings for the ceremony. Later, the bride changed into BHLDN's "bygone" earrings (shown here) for dinner and switched to pearl earrings for dancing.
At this winter wedding in Colorado, the bride changed out of her Manolo Blahnik heels into something a bit more weather-appropriate.
Satin-and-mesh booties were Sorenne’s footwear of choice. "They looked very Cyndi Lauper-meets-the-1800s," she says.
The perfect accessory for this bridal updo was a feathery accent by LoBoheme.
Justine’s dazzling accents included (from left): An Art Deco fish-scale bracelet, antique diamond-and-opal drop earrings, a Judith Ripka Estate gold-and-diamond cuff, and a Victorian diamond-and-pearl bangle.
This bride sported photos of her grandparents in a custom-made vintage locket by Purevile.
For her beachside wedding, Sam selected cobalt pumps with a bit of flair.
The finishing touch on this bride’s ensemble was a pair of dyed-to-match green pumps. The hue was an accent in the otherwise black-and-white fete.
Romney wore a one-off Oscar De La Renta headpiece. Her necklaces -- one rose gold and the other with pink moonstones -- were both by Irene Neuwirth.
This snowbound bride sported silver Hunter boots to get to her Jackson Hole, Wyoming, wedding.
Kimberly's celery-colored silk faille gown had a hand-beaded Florentine fresco motif that also adorned her Christian Dior booties.
