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.

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.

Our Top 5 Platform wedding shoes

Up, up and away! We love platforms and it seems that you do too. What's not to love though? They flatter your pins, make high heels so much easier to wear and give any outfit a fashionable edge (a luxe pair do a great job in upgrading your outfit and make an off-the-peg bridal gown look like it cost ££££'s!). Our top Platforms from the new season's collections to suit all budgets are:

• Faye by Rainbow Club


• Tesi by Rainbow Couture


• Montana by Belle


• Dita by Benjamin Adams


• & Barbie by PINK Paradox

Let us know which is your favourite!

You can't fail to have noticed the latest trend for strong embellishments on the very best accessories to be seen in (see above for inspiration) and if that's your style, then you'll love the new Mimi platform wedding shoes by Benjamin Adams (below). These stunning ivory duchesse silk sandals offer a similarly sexy, edgy, hardware look made from amazing Swarovski crystals rather than studs which contrast with the most feminine of outfits - your wedding gown. Or wear a pair dyed, perhaps to team with a fabulously girly soft party dress for a luxe look that has been seen on all the catwalks.

Now if you love the Mimi bridal shoe (above) then you'll practically drool over the new entire Siena Xzane collection. We heart the strong colours of the silks, the extravagant trims, the uber fashionable shapes and - oh my! - the highest of heels and platforms for more than enough WOW factor any girl can handle in one outfit.

Purse-friendly wedding and bridesmaid shoes for all budgets this season

Whether you're feeling the pinch during this credit-crunch and are strapped for cash, or are splurging on the elements of your wedding you feel most important to you regardless of the current financial climate (and this seems to be the norm - dropping items you feel aren't 'you' or those you couldn't care less about so that you can still treat yourself on those areas you couldn't live without on your Big Day), there are some divine shoes for everyone in the new 2010 Collections to tempt and pamper whatever the price tag!

We've cherry-picked some fabulous new, but similar styles of varying price, to show you how you can achieve a similar look or feel whatever your budget...

Most popular new season wedding shoes according to our Brides

Well, this is the divine new Gwyneth by Benjamin Adams (on the right) and to date, it's taken 1st place among the advance orders coming in from Brides who are looking for a brand new style to adorn their lucky tootsies for A/W09 weddings. Of course, we're not a bit surprised as it ticks all the must-have boxes: the elegant pointed closed-toe, vintage style Swarovski trim (which, by the way, matches the Stone handbag also by Benjamin Adams), oh-so-easy to wear halter straps to flatter the ankles and the most luxurious of silk and leather fabrics. Gwyneth retails at £139 RRP.

The other new bridal shoe flying right now is the adorable Spice by PINK (see left) which retails at £52 RRP and is being pre-ordered by both savvy budget-conscious Brides and Bridesmaids alike. It's a new high-heeled version of the best-selling Sherbert from the same range and looks just as amazing dyed as it does in it's 'naked' ivory satin state. Just the thing to show off that pedicure...
