This bold pump heel is your built-in wedding tradition. It adds a playful pop beneath minimalist gowns or jumpsuits, and photographs beautifully. The chain-link structural heel with Florals on the uppers elevate the glam.
4. The Katia Slingbacks: Chic Minimalism with a Twist
A mid-85mm heel, high impact. Classic icon in Light Pink or Ivory with a glossy gold accent to elevate any look. Great for pre-wedding events like bridal showers or courthouse ceremonies. Plus, ultra packable for honeymoon looks.

Go from ceremony to party with ease. Henni’s striking hourglass heel & gold embellished floral touch in Silver/Gold or Ivory make it a favourite for fashion-forward brides and bridesmaids alike.
Bonus Tip:
These aren’t one-wear shoes. Every pair on this list transitions easily into anniversary outfits, holiday parties, or just days when you want to remember how fabulous you looked saying "I do."
How to Style Them:
- Match your accessories to your heel hardware (think gold-tone clutch with twisted gold heel).
- For photos, opt for floor-sweeping gowns with side slits to show off the heel.
- If you’re changing into a second look for the reception, go short. Let the shoe shine!
