This season’s hottest footwear trend is anything that glitters and as the holidays approach, we love anything that shimmers and shines. Needless to say we love these crystal and glitter embellished bridal shoes.  The fancy footwear are not only perfect for brides, formal holiday occasions, and black tie affairs, but also work with skinny pants and a fancy top for a stunning and sexy look.

Check out some of our favorites.

Alexander Mcqueen

Jimmy Choo

Steweart Weitzman "glitterswoon"

Badgley Mischka "junebug"

Badgley Mischka "stella"

Christian Louboutin "super vic"

With the unveiling of the new collections at bridal market less than two weeks ago, it’s evident you’re free to be any type of bride these days: simple, chic, over-the-top, bohemian, classic, sexy.

Modern one-shoulder gowns held up in popularity this time around, as well as short dresses. Color stayed, especially beige and black thanks much to Vera Wang, who presented NO white or ivory gowns this season.

We also saw more interesting shapes, proportions and textures than ever. Mega texture, actually. On display too were bold prints, sleeves and necklines of varying length and styles, shrugs for winter weddings and some gasp-worthy surprises sprinkled in.

Complete coverage to come, so stay tuned!

An otherwise ordinary gold leather belt takes this J. Crew wedding gown to a whole new level! Jenna Lyons (J. Crew’s creative director) would be proud:

This couple rented a ferris wheel for their nuptials. Now that’s certainly a wedding we’d love to be a part of, and think of all the wonderful photos, too:
