Love & Lace

If you're after a vintage-inspired pair of heels they don't look too 'grannyish' then these might just make the grade. With a trimming of patent leather these Jimmy Choo Faith lace and patent pumps are heavenly. Black is such a smart, modern choice for a wedding shoe and the bonus? You'll love and wear them long after you've said 'I do'. Avaliable to purchase online at www.net-a-porter.com.

Tulle sleeve and shoulder embellishments have become a bit of an 'in' thing with designers, including Monique Lhuillier, putting thier own spins on the trend.
