Baby it's cold outside - wedding boots for winter brides.

With the cold-snap already here, winter brides might like to know that you don't have to suffer frozen tootsies on your big day. Bridal boots have come a long way since the Victoriana style (which are obviously just the thing if that is your theme!), but these fabulous boots will work beautifully with all bridal looks.

Ryder by Benjamin Adams (Paradox London) are an ankel boot style and part of the sensational 2011 Collection. These beauties feature the finest ivory silk upper, fully padded insoles, luxurious suede leather soles and shimmering Swarovski crystals. Fashionista Snow Queen? Absolutely! Just add a (fake) fur tippet or cape to indulge in cosiness and look chic while the temperatures outside plummet.

Black Magic! The easy route to show-stopping one-of-a-kind party shoes!

Spread a little seasonal dazzle with your party footwear this Christmas by selecting an luxe pair of wedding shoes and letting us dye them for you. Then just sit pretty and wait for total shoe envy to come your way!

Our favourites this season are those with more than a little sparkle in the form of the subtle vintage flourish to the full-on Swarovski encrusted to add a little red-carpet WOW factor.

To see just how amazing bridal shoes can look once dyed (and a pop of colour really changes how some of the style look, highlighting shape or design beautifully - and nobody will know they started off as 'wedding shoes'), here's more than a bit of inspiration... we welcome the gorgeous NEW Caron from the 2011 Rainbow Couture collection, certainly our #1 shoe crush this season.

What do you do next? Simply order your desired shoe, and we deliver them to you (undyed) so you can make sure they fit well and the style suits you - then either pop them back to us for dyeing (to your own swatch or to 'black', which needs no swatch) or for a refund or exchange if you don't 100% love them.

Our dyeing services can either be purchased online at the same time as your shoes, or separately only once you're sure the shoes are right for you, whichever you prefer. It's as easy as 1-2-3!

A sweet Something Blue for your wedding shoes...

We've sold this fabulously pretty range of shoe insoles since Day One, and so are very pleased to present NEW Bridal Blue Tip Toes and Killer Kushionz.

In a beautiful pale blue shade (which make a really great affordable and practical "Something Blue" to hide away in those prized once-in-a-lifetime dream wedding shoes!), paired with a delightfully soft baby powder scent, these beauties help keep your busy feet not only comfortable but also smelling sweet all day and night long.

We know these new goodies will be a huge hit and they compliment the already popular Foot Petals family of products available from us, The Accessory Boutique, in a variety of colours and options to solve most shoe comfort and fit dilemmas.

If this pretty colour (or scent) isn't for you, then you may also love Lavender Killer Kushionz, in a lovely lilac shade and matching lavender scent - to keep your shoes and feet fresh. Alternatively, you'll also love the classic White Lilly colour (available in Tip Toes, Killer Kushionz and Strappy Strips) which are unscented, but also perfect for special occasion, nude or pale-coloured shoes.

Dorothy's ruby slippers - only for Brides!

We are so in awe of these fabulous new bridal shoes from Benjamin Adams that we had to show them off! We have Gaga (in front), which is a glittering rounded "Almond" toe court and Charlize (behind) is a platformed peep-toe. Both are in the finest ivory duchesse silk and encrusted with hundreds of Swarovski crystals to ensure you're the centre of attention.

Both shoes arrive in store mid-end June and retail at £250 and £275 respectively. An investment rather than impulse buy, granted, but we're convinced that these sparkly little numbers will instantly upgrade any 'going out' and occasion outfit for years to come and so the cost-per-wear will actually make these a great buy!

Inspire shoe envy on your Big Day and slip on a pair of these sparkly beauties on and you'll shine brighter that you could ever imagine.

New wedding shoes in time for summer, to suit every budget

We love surprises, and after seeing the same bridal shoe styles all season (September through till the following September, that is), those lovely guys at Paradox London decide to treat us with some yummy new shoes mid-season for us all to marvel at - and with delivery from mid June, they're here just in time for all of your summer functions and weddings!

There's a brand new Belle shoe, 5 new PINK shoes (one being a stunning silver number perfect for proms and holidays as well as Bridesmaids too) and 7 new additions to the Benjamin Adams collection.

Our favourite new PINK styles are featured above (Tease in front, with Flower behind - a flattie jewelled peep-toe). But do check out the fabulous Audrina (show right). Available only in silver PU, it's The Sandal for petite Brides and bridesmaids and, we think, would be such a great choice for paring with this season's brightly printed holiday maxi dresses along with the ubiquitous jeans. Obviously.

Your time to shine in Swarovski covered wedding and evening shoes!

Spring is the air with the promise of warmer weather around the corner, it's time to think about those summer invitations. Whether you're the Bride, perhaps it is your best friend is getting married or you have a special Christening or Ball to attend, we have some brilliant new styles to tempt and complete your look to help you shine to spectacular effect!

Siena Xzane is the superb luxe range of evening shoes from Paradox London (makers of the oh-so-covetable Benjamin Adams bridal line of shoes) which will appeal to bridesmaids, Mothers of the Bride and guests for any special occasion and our favourite new style (available for late June delivery) is the utterly amazing Monte Carlo shown here in dazzling fuchsia silk (above) at £250. But glamorous Brides needn't feel left out this season as the new Gaga shoe from Benjamin Adams offers the same styling in sumptuous ivory duchesse silk to compliment your bridal gown beautifully.

For those who prefer a bare look to show off those tanned pins (a healthy faux glow rather than three weeks on a sunbed, obv) and a great pedicure, you'll love Greta by Benjamin Adams. A sumptuous gladiator style sandal in ivory silk with Swarovski crystal detailing - also echoed in the Siena Xzane collection in Champagne with gold coloured crystals for those seeking to work with a 'gold' wedding theme or to give a sexy Grecian feel.
