The idea of customisation has been increasingly popular since Angelina Jolie's customised wedding veil in 2014; since then, the idea of personalisation has been explored by many brides-to-be.  However, if sharpie pen customisation isn't your thing, then a more subtle option is to create your very own bespoke wedding shoes.  Simple and elegant, bespoke shoes add a personal touch to your wedding attire.

\nLooking for the perfect wedding shoes?  Struggling to find something elegant, comfortable, stylish and unique? Shoes can be customised with shoe clips, embellished with diamonds, coloured with dyes and personalised with special dates emblasoned into the sole - creating something that will be with you forever.
Versatile Shoe Clips - Give your wedding shoe some character with a clip. This is one of the most cost effective and simplest methods of customisation. Create a sense of glamour with a jeweled shoe clip or even add theatre with the addition of a bow. Shoe clips even be can be reused on other shoes, transforming different brands of shoes in many different ways.

Shoe Dyeing - A great option for brides who are wanting to add a splash of colour to their wedding outfit.The great thing about dyeing wedding shoes is that they are often covered by the dress. This means that you can create something truly beautiful and personal, and it won’t distract attention from your dress.
Shoe dyeing services should also take into account every little detail, particularly something like the light setting. You want your shoes to look amazing in photographs, so the dye has to compliment your shoes in the different settings where you will photographed – in the church or on the beach, for example.  Dyeing is a great option for those who want a perfect match to their wedding gown or want to co-ordinate with their bridesmaids.

Crystals and Pearls -  Fab for adding glamour, sophistication and a subtle touch of personalisation. If you are on a budget this is a great option as they can be jewelled as much or as little as required. So, a small scattering of jewels can be added with one or two crystals for your something blue, or you can cover the entire shoe with diamonds if you really want to stand out.
