White wedding shoes do not need to be plain or boring... with a little bit of imagination they can be absolutely stunning! For this bride, we added a silver embellishment off the side of the shoe for a pretty asymmetrical effect.  We then added a decorative satin sash across the top of the foot for an extra pretty little touch.  Adorbs.

Introducing some color to your wedding shoes can be a lot of fun!  For these wedding shoes, we aimed to match the bride's wedding colors (she sent us a copy of her wedding invitation for reference) by doing the base color of the shoes in a royal purple.  We then incorporated her accent color, gray, into the shoes with a gray lace heel cup.  Then, we really dressed them up with a purple Swarovski crystal covered heel and a scattering of crystals in the lace of the shoes.  Perfect!

We had some fun with this pair of custom wedding shoes!  We started with a pair of platform peeptoes and dyed them paradise pink.  Then, we covered the heels with silver and pink crystals and added a handmade pink flower to the ankle of the wedding shoes.  We blended in a few shades of pink and some ivory for some contrast and dimension and just LOVE the way they turned out! Got a wedding shoe idea that you want to explore? Let us hear it!

Go for the gold with a pair of gold lace wedding shoes! We made these custom wedding shoes sparkle using a closed toe wedding pump and dressed it up with gold lace. We scattered gold crystals in the lace for a little shine and then handmade the gold and silver anklet for a really special pair of shoes!

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something GREEN!  Yes, that's right!  Today, we're talking about taking traditional wedding attire and turning it on its head.  Custom wedding shoes are one of those great opportunities to add just a little bit of colorful personality to your wedding day without causing your traditional Catholic wedding wanting mother (well... mine, anyway) to shudder. In an effort to convince our ever adventurous clientele that green wedding shoes can save you from a clunky pair of white pumps, we combed through our gallery and pulled out some of the highlight custom wedding shoes--everything from a simple pair of d'orsay style kitten heel peep toes with a bit of sparkle, to a towering pair of platforms with emerald green Swarovksi covered heels, to a pair of hunter green peep toe wedding shoes with a specialty lace overlay to... wait for it... a pair of green pumps with crysal leaf accents designed for the union of two horticulturalists in love (and a lovely couple they were!).

Kate Friedman (better known in the bridal industry as Ellie Wren) is the principal designer and owner of Ellie Wren Custom Wedding Shoes.  She has been designing women's shoes since 2007.  Ellie's wedding shoe designs are uncommon in that her specialty is working one on one with her clients to understand what makes them, and their significant others, unique.  A firm believer that custom wedding shoes are a opportunity to capture the essence of the couple, Ellie then incorporates what she learns into the bride's wedding shoes. Ellie shoes have been walking down aisles the world over and, in addition to her collection of lovely lace-covered wedges and Swarovski-studded peep toes, Ellie has done some pretty amazing custom work, including the "Cloud Shoes" that she designed for Good Morning America's anchor meteorologist, Ginger Zee's 2014 wedding to Ben Aaron.  Other unique wedding shoe designs include her trademark baseball wedding shoes, originally designed for Yankee Stadium nuptials that have since been recreated for the coupling of Colorado Rockies', St. Louis Cardinals', Detroit Tigers', Boston Red Sox' and Chicago Cubs' fans.  She even has a pair of "rock climbing" and "pilot meets flight attendant" wedding shoes under her belt. [gallery columns="4" ids="81,80,79,78"] While a shoe lover and style devotee by birth, Ellie (then better known as Kate Friedman) didn't have the guts to pursue her passion until after four years of a traditional college education, followed by three years of law school and eight years of law practice (good for business development, bad for creativity), but she maintains that everything happens for a reason and she is now (finally!) happily and exactly where she is supposed to be in her career. Ellie lives in the beautiful state of Colorado, where she enjoys the outdoors and the 300 days of sunshine with her husband and two children.
