Bridal Shoes A Perfect Balance of Beauty and Comfort

On a wedding day, every detail mattersfrom the bridal gown, hairstyle, and makeup to the shoes. Bridal shoes play a crucial role, not only in completing the overall look but also in ensuring the brides confidence, comfort, and happiness throughout the day.

Many brides prioritize the beauty of their shoes above all else, only to realize on the big day that uncomfortable shoeswhether too tight, difficult to walk in, or causing blisterscan turn a magical moment into an unpleasant experience. The perfect pair of bridal shoes must offer both elegance and practicality, allowing the bride to walk with confidence, remain pain-free, and truly enjoy every moment of her special day.

Today, we speak with Bee Kwankoo Onjumras, Co-Founder of Proud Bridal Shoes and Executive Director of Sweet Blossom Group (SB Group), about the art of crafting bridal shoes that combine sophistication with supreme comfort.

The Beginning of Proud Bridal Shoes
Bee: Proud Bridal Shoes began as part of our wedding services business, which included bridal gown tailoring and pre-wedding photography. We noticed that many brides were searching for shoes that were both stylish and comfortable for their big day. What started as a small ideacreating high-quality bridal shoessoon grew into a mission to design footwear not only for weddings but also for other special occasions. We wanted each pair to be versatile, timeless, and a cherished keepsake of a brides most beautiful memories.

The Design and Production Process
Bee: Every pair of our shoes goes through a meticulous development process. We focus on designs that suit the natural structure of Thai womens feet, which tend to be slightly wider at the front. Crafting elegant yet comfortable heels is a challenge that requires thoughtful refinement.

We experiment with adjusting shoe shapes, adding platforms, and incorporating cushioned insoles for extra comfortall while maintaining a sense of luxury and sophistication. Premium materials are chosen to support the feet, reduce pressure, and ensure durability. We also use high-quality, anti-slip rubber soles so that brides can walk with confidence on any surfacewhether its smooth carpets, polished tiles, or even grassy lawns.

Bridal Shoe Trends and Styles
Bee: Modern brides seek a perfect balance between aesthetics and comfort. Weve observed that todays wedding gowns come in various styles, from Classic Elegant and Modern Minimalist to Bohemian Chic. Choosing the right shoes to complement each look is essential.

For classic weddings, brides often opt for white, ivory, or metallic nude heelselegant yet understated.

For minimalist weddings, sleek shoes with unique details, such as subtle shimmer or delicate lace patterns, are in high demand.

For outdoor or bohemian-style weddings, comfort-focused options like embellished flats or chic sandals are becoming increasingly popular.

A rising trend is the demand for all-day bridal shoesone pair that transitions seamlessly from the ceremony to the after-party. To cater to this, weve developed designs with varying heel heights, from low heels to high stilettos, ensuring a perfect fit for every bride and occasion.

Advice for Brides
Bee: At Proud, we offer expert consultations to help brides find the perfect pair of shoes to match their wedding gown and personal style. We recommend selecting bridal shoes at least 23 months in advance to allow time for size adjustments and wear testing to ensure maximum comfort.

If a bride isnt accustomed to wearing heels, practicing in them beforehand is essential to help her walk naturally and confidently. Shoes with ankle straps or supportive designs can also enhance stability and ease of movement.

Heartwarming Stories from Brides
Bee: Many of our brides have never worn high heels before, yet after trying our shoes, they feel confident and comfortable enough to wear them all day. Moments like these make us proud of what we do because we believe that the right pair of shoes not only enhances beauty but also empowers brides with confidence on their most important day.

The Future of Proud Bridal Shoes
