Key Trends

( Last Updated: 04-12-2007 )

We have been busy putting together the new collections for next season - we are committed to bringing you the very latest trends in bridal footwear and spend meticulous hours pouring over colour and fabric styles, shapes and embellishments to create a range with something to suit everyone.

The look for Spring/Summer '08 is romantic and feminine. Dresses are off the shoulder, but with much more embellishment - ruffles, bows, and corsage trims are much in evidence. Back detailing is key, with sewn-in roses, covered buttons, lace-up and criss-cross designs and even bustles and bows. Fifties and Sixties styles see a return, too, with many dresses at cocktail length and with full underskirts to give extra bounce.

The collection from Rainbow offers something for each style - from pointed toes with va va voom heels, to chic ballet flats with twisted detailing. Trims and embellishment are simply to die-for- fun, feminine and flirty. Look out for some of these key looks:

Ankle Straps - perfect for comfort and style, ankle strap shoes are elegant and charming. From the pointy toe Sophia, to sexy sandal Elina, ankle straps are sexy, fun and super stylish.

Beading - to reflect the new mood of sumptuous opulence, many styles are beaded and trimmed. Choose the low heeled Sangria, with a sleek satin trim finished with small beads, or go for Annabel, where scattered beads catch the light. Olivia, from G&L has a row of fine beads at the throat.

Sparkle- add a bit of bling to your feet with crystal detailing and fine finishes. Valentina, a new style from G&L, is edged in a lustrous piping which looks fabulous in ivory, but also in colours - the contrast trim catches the light and looks fabulous in any shade.

Flats - taller brides will love the new selection of flat shoes. Bryony is a brand new take on the traditional ballet shoe - with a cross over satin trim, it looks lovely in any shade, Adora from G&L offers a small heel with a cute ankle strap, while Else has the ever - popular Bucks Fizz, a ballet pump that offers pure comfort and style, In Hassall, the adorable Dainty Bess is the perfect choice for the taller bride who seeks something a little bit special.
