When it comes to bridal shopping, websites and Pinterest boards are filled ivory and white fashion inspo. Cool girls, however, are bucking the monotone look for an exciting and playful detail – contrasting shoes. Think: sequin-spangled vintage Pradas and crystal-embellished Gucci slingbacks in the most whimsical colours of the rainbow.

As someone tying the knot in the coming months, my algorithm is awash with chic bridal inspo, and this trend is a standout.

From citrine and peridot to aquamarine, sapphire and ruby, gemstone hues are a clear winner for an elevated spin on the pop of colour.

Vintage Pradas, modern Guccis and classic Manolo Blahniks form the most covetable options in the lineup, but there are plenty of affordable high street options to shop too.
