The Marrime Shoe Edit
The Art of Finding Your Perfect Bridal Pair
Your wedding shoes may not be the first piece you fall for - but when chosen well, they become the quiet punctuation of your bridal look.
The finishing touch. The step into your forever.
At Marrime, we see shoes not as an afterthought, but as part of your personal expression.
Whether hidden beneath sweeping silk or revealed with every stride, the right pair should make you feel exactly as your gown does - elevated, confident, and completely yourself.
This is your guide to finding them.
Start With The Feeling
Stand, Glide, Dance
Before colour, before heel height - consider the feeling.
Will you glide across a stately aisle or dance barefoot on garden lawns?
Will you stand beneath chandeliers or say “I do” by the sea? Your shoes should support your day, your pace, your grace.
Think not only about the look, but how you want to feel - anchored, at ease, a little taller, perhaps.
Comfort is never the compromise. It’s the secret to lasting elegance.
The Shoe as a Style Statement
Iconic, Romantic, Sophisticated
Some shoes are designed to blend seamlessly with your gown. Others ask for attention.
At Marrime, we stock both - with a carefully chosen edit of bridal footwear from Loeffler Randall and Harlo, available exclusively in-store.
Loeffler Randall brings a romantic edge to modern bridal styling.
Known for their signature pleated bows and pearlised textures, their block heels feel soft underfoot and effortless to wear.
Each pair is infused with a sense of femininity - playful, polished, and endlessly rewearable.
Think: the iconic Camellia, wrapped in organza or lamé, catching the light beneath layers of tulle.
Harlo Australia offers a sculptural sophistication with comfort built in. Crystal-studded straps, flattering ankle ties, and cushioned soles make them a dream for all-day celebrations.
Whether it's the elegant simplicity of the Daniela or the refined shimmer of the Freya, Harlo heels balance structure and softness like no other.
What Works With What
Write Your Own Story
There are no hard rules - but some pairings feel like poetry.
- A sleek crepe column gown is beautifully offset by a structured heel or pearl-dusted sandal.
- A high-slit silk gown craves something sculptural, perhaps metallic.
- A voluminous tulle skirt? Let your shoes whisper - a soft ivory mule or satin slingback will do.
- For mini dresses or second looks, embrace the statement: bow-adorned platforms, jewelled heels, or a flash of something blue.
If your shoes will be seen, make them part of your story. If they’ll stay hidden, make sure they still feel like you.
Heels, Flats & Everything Inbetween
Iconic, Romantic, Sophisticated
Bridal heels will always have their moment.
They elongate the silhouette, carry you with poise, and elevate even the simplest gown.
But today’s bride knows that style doesn’t begin and end at 100mm.
Many Marrime brides opt for a second pair - one for the ceremony, another for the celebration.
Think strappy block heels by day, silk flats or embellished mules by night.
And for some, flats are the first choice. Delicate ballet styles, chic pointed-toe loafers, pearl-trimmed slides - flats are no longer the quiet option.
They’re the right option for the bride who values freedom of movement and elegance without height.
Shoes That Last Beyond The Day
Yesterday's & Tomorrow's Memories
We believe in pieces you’ll wear again - and again.
The beauty of a Loeffler Randall heel or a Harlo sandal is that it transcends the wedding.
Styled with a wide-leg trouser, a slip dress, or tailored suiting, these shoes live on in your wardrobe, woven into future memories.
They’re not just for the aisle.
They’re for anniversaries.
For dinners.
For the days you want to remember who you were when you wore them first.
The Practical Bit (Still Beautiful)
Tips From The Marrime Experts
A few tips to make sure your dream pair are perfect from the first step to the last:
- TIMING - Choose your shoes before your fittings. The heel height determines your gown’s final length.
- FIT - Always try on shoes at home on carpet, and wear them around the house to soften and settle the fit.
- SURFACES - Consider your venue. Grass, gravel, and cobbles all call for a sturdier sole or block heel.
- ACCESSORIES - Think cohesively - your shoe tone should complement your jewellery, your gown, and your veil, if worn.
