Recently, it’s become almost like a fun guessing game: Does the bride have decor on the soles of her shoes? Does the groom? Some couples have taken to writing messages for each other there, some brides have inspirational words and some just want a fancy decoration. We have some brilliant ideas that will sweep you off your feet.
Messages to each other
Reading a heartfelt letter from your soon-to-be spouse just before the wedding is a special moment. Save the trees and write it on their shoes.
Matchy-matchy
These are especially great for pictures. If there are song lyrics, quotes or anything else you like, you can split it so that both of your shoes complete it together.
Personalised stickers
There might be a specific theme you want to carry, or something that’s meaningful or beautiful to you that you want to use. It could be your new surname, the date of the wedding, anything really. The options are endless.

After five years of marriage, super-couple Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have secretly renewed their wedding vows.
In a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim details that the couple decided to renew their vows in an intimate backyard ceremony that included the entire family following the birth of their fourth child, Psalm, in May 2019.
In the episode, which will air in South Africa on October 27, Kim tells Scott Disick: “I think it’s so special that all four of our kids are here. It’ll just be really sweet, and I’m excited that everyone is coming over.”
The renewal was initially meant to be a surprise, but both Kim and Kanye were planning something so they came together to throw the ceremony.
“I, at first, was gonna keep it a full surprise and then I heard he was trying to plan something,” Kim explained. “Everyone was kind of being really weird. And I was like, ‘Well, guys, if he’s trying to plan something and I’m trying to plan something? Someone has to say something and we’ll just do it together’.”
The pastor that married them in 2014 headed the vow renewal.
“We wanted to keep it really personal and it’s private for us,” says the beauty mogul.
She explains that Kanye has taken a much more active role in raising their four children – North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, and she wants to show him her appreciation.
“Kanye knows that I’ve had such anxiety with the new baby and everything going on. He’s stepped up so much and has been the most amazing dad, playing all the games with the kids and things like that.”

Kim can be heard rehearsing her personally written vows in the episode, which begin with, “You are my husband. You are my best friend. My biggest believer and my one true love.”
While the actual vow renewal was not aired, famous family members can be seen prepping for the ceremony while wearing all-white.
The couple first wed in a lavish ceremony in Italy back in 2014. Many celebrities were in attendance, including John Legend and Chrissy Tiegen, Jaden Smith and Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing. They filmed an E! special detailing the couple’s road to the altar, although once again, they did not include the actual wedding ceremony.

Bridesmaid dresses are a tricky one. There’s a delicate balance between wanting them to look gorgeous, and not wanting them to upstage you on your big day. Here’s…
Sarah Hyland’s wedding to Bachelor star Wells Adams is inching closer and closer and the actress is getting her entourage ready for her wedding. Sarah recently invited a few of her gal pals over for brunch, and it’s here where she asked them to be her bridesmaids.
Sarah chose a cute gift box to ask her friends. On the inside of the lid to the boxes, it read, ‘Will you be my bridesmaid? Love, Sarah’, which included her maid of honour as well.
Earlier in October, Hyland asked her longtime friend and fellow actress, Vanessa Hudgens, to be one of her bridesmaids by sending Hudgens a sweet gift box. Hudgens shared the surprise with her followers on her Instagram stories. It consisted of a beautiful wooden box engraved with Hudgens’s first name and adorned with a white ribbon and decorative green and gold leaves.
If you are preparing to ask your chosen friends/family to be your bridesmaids, but are feeling a bit uninspired, take a look at how actress Sarah Hyland popped the question:
