This will save you unnecessary stress
Our shoe customization service allows you to design your shoes according to the season.
For summer weddings, we offer lightweight materials in vibrant colors, such as our suede or metallic leathers. Sandals and open styles, like the Salomé or Charlotte, are perfect for outdoor events and warm days, allowing your feet to breathe while staying elegant.
On the other hand, for autumn or winter weddings, we recommend opting for warmer and more enveloping materials, such as our soft or calf hair leathers. Our booties and Oxfords are ideal for cool-weather ceremonies, providing a refined style that pairs well with longer outfits and capes.
Thanks to our customization service, you can also play with colors to match your shoes to the seasonal palette. Pastel shades and bright tones are particularly suited to spring and summer, while deeper hues and metallic touches are perfect for autumn and winter weddings
