No matter what your budget, every Maharani has her wedding priorities.  With all the magical things you can spend money on, I always say, “save the red bottom shoes for a different day.”  So, in honor of my favorite holiday…the Nordstrom’s  Anniversary Sale…we have some wedding day accessories especially  tailored for the Indian bride, and that fit into any wedding budget.  Gold is the Indian version of wedding white, and every Maharani needs a pair of these shoes around their toes.  They are the quintessential staple to any wedding trousseau!

So let’s get this party started!

Row 1 : Probably the favorite of the bunch, this shoe is perfect for any of your wedding events and would look dynamite with a dazzling golden beige lengha.  Wow.  The great thing is that when you cross the line to Mrs., you can wear Maxstudio's beaded sandal with many skirts, dresses, and jeans and bring a little Maharani into your life! Next this skyscraping heel by Glint boasts a 4 inch heel and a 1 inch platform making it an ideal east meets west shoe.  Whether it is a sari or a sundress, this shoe will be a chic accessory to any ensemble. Finally, the saner, more sophisticated sister of shoe number one, this Maxstudio Salsa Sandal has romantic ruffles that I just love!

Row 2 : As an LA resident, I scoffed at anything lower than a 3.5 inch heel, but my new SF life has brought a new fondness of shorter heel heights.  The Onex 'Ultimate' Kitten Heel Sandal is positively perfect for a Mehndi shoe.  Your Mehndi can dry and settle as you mix and mingle the night away. Whether you use the Bourne 'Aliza' Sandal all night, or just change into it after cake cutting to dance the night away, this jeweled shoe adds elegance to any outfit.  Plus, they would look oh so cute with white shorts.  Tropical honeymoon, anyone?  If Audrey Hepburn was reincarnated as an Indian wedding shoe (far fetched, I know) the Kate Spade number would be it.  Feminie, delicate, and in a soft neutral gold.  Nuff said.

Row 3 : Glittery and glamorous, this sky high T strap by Glint is just perfect. Bring out the inner rocker!  If you have a modern lengha in a bold color, this platform from Charles David will be a hit! Probably the most practical choice of the bunch, the BP 'Empire' Sandal easily slides into your Indian wedding wardrobe, and into your budget.

Much more coming up today….stay tuned!
