Sophia Webster launches a bridal shoe collection
This is the latest footwear offering for 'cool brides' on their wedding day
“Wifey for lifey”. That’s Sophia Webster’s latest slogan, applied on the soles of the shoes in her first ever bridal collection.
Webster is the IT-shoe designer of the moment. Her quirky designs have won her legions of fans worldwide –so she’s decided to offer a bit of her wit to “cool brides” by launching her a collection of bridal shoes.
The collection is made up of seven of her most popular designs, including her classic feminine pumps and laced sandals, and her iconic bubble clutch. But instead of applying her usual kaleidoscopic palette, the styles have been made in a romantic palette of baby pink, baby blue and ivory. The two bubble clutches read “Happily ever after” and “the boy is mine”.
“When I first decided to do bridal shoes I was not yet married so thinking about what I would wear for my wedding was a great starting point,” said Webster.
“As the collection was being brought to life I imagined all sorts of women slipping into the shoes and feeling like queens for that special day. With that in mind I wanted to use really feminine touches like satin uppers, crystal heels and gem stones, all in delicate tones that would work with classic dresses but add a little flourish.”

She’s been awarded British Fashion Award for Emerging Accessories Designer (2013) and is currently shortlisted as part of this year’s British Fashion Council/ Vogue Fashion Designer Fund.
The bridal collection is her latest offer and is now available at sophiawebster.com and net-a-porter.com with prices starting from £360 up to £575.
