In the video above, Megan and Ali of BridalShoesTV show you how to use shoe cushions to transform any shoes into comfortable wedding shoes!

You may think you don’t need shoe cushions, but the truth is that everyone can benefit from these amazing products. And with My Glass Slipper’s promotion for free ground shipping when you buy $10 worth of shoe cushion products, the time couldn’t be more right to invest in these sole savers. The offer is valid for MyGlassSlipper.com, BridalShoes.com, and MetallicBridalShoes.com.

When you buy your shoes on MyGlassSlipper.com, BridalShoes.com or MetallicBridalShoes.com, you’ll be paying for shipping anyway, so why not buy shoe cushions and have something to show for that cost? You need them both, so it’s a win-win. Even if you don’t use cushions for your bridal shoes, we can guarantee you’ll use them in another pair of heels at home. We bet you have some shoes in your closet that would see more action if they were more comfortable. How about that stunning pair of heels with a sling back strap that refuses to stay up. Or those killer platform pumps that look great but kill the balls of your feet after a few hours. Shoe cushions are the answer to all your discomfort dilemmas! Comfortable wedding shoes are easy to find: Just use cushions, and any bridal shoes become comfy! You can use shoe cushions to achieve a perfect fit and hours of comfort in a variety of heels.

Below, you’ll find all the shoe cushions available on MyGlassSlipper.com, BridalShoes.com, and MetallicBridalShoes.com, and learn how you can utilize these products in your wedding shoes:

TIP TOES by Foot Petals

Tip Toes is the best-selling product from brand Foot Petals. This thin, self-adhesive pad goes right under the ball of your foot – the spot that bears most of your weight when wearing high heels. Tip Toes are made from a comfy and cushy material called PORON. The extra cushioning will alleviate discomfort and add much-needed support. Tip Toes pull double duty for women that also experience roomy heels. The pad hoists your foot back, providing a better fit throughout the shoe, including at the heels. They also keep your foot from sliding too far into the shoes. Positioned correctly, Tip Toes cannot be seen by others, so only your happy feet know they are there. If you want a gel cushion for the balls of your feet, check out the Sof Sole Gel Pad.

HEAVENLY HEELZ by Foot Petals

Discomfort at the back of the heel is a common problem. Maybe the heel cap is rubbing painfully against your ankle, or maybe your heel is popping out of the shoe. A pad like Heavenly Heelz, which you place inside the heel cap, will work wonders to fix those common dilemmas. The last thing you want at your wedding (or any time) is your heel to pop out of your shoe. Not only can it cause an evening-ending blister, but the flip-flopping sound can drive you crazy. Those days are over thanks to Heavenly Heelz. Like Tip Toes, Heavenly Heelz are made from a very cushy material called PORON. You peel and stick them right wear you need them. Don’t let the name fool you: Their use is not limited to heels. You can add them anywhere in the shoe that want a little more padding to prevent your shoes from cutting in or giving you blisters. Of course, Heavenly Heelz are completely hidden from view. For a gel version of this cushion, check out the Apara Gel Heel Appeal.

HAUTE HEELZ by Foot Petals

Haute Heelz are the perfect cushions for evening shoes with stilettos placed beneath your heel! These nifty cushions help absorb shock to your heels, legs, and lower back. Of course, Haute Heelz are completely hidden from view. These pads are especially great for lower heels. In shoes with a lower heel height, most of your weight rests on the heels of your feet.  You need extra cushioning in that spot to alleviate discomfort and prevent aching. By inserting Haute Heelz, you’ll get the extra padding you need for long-time wear.

KILLER KUSHIONZ by Foot Petals

If you want the best of both worlds – cushioning at the ball of your foot and at your heel – these Killer Kushionz are for you. It’s a full-length pad, providing great comfort throughout the insole of the shoe. The Killer Kushionz self-adhesive strip goes under your entire foot, from the ball of your foot, which is the place that bears most of your weight when you’re wearing high heels, all the way up to your heel. They are made from a very cushy material called PORON. Like Tip Toes, Killer Kushionz also improve the fit of your shoes by hoisting your foot back and preventing your foot from sliding too far into the shoes.

STRAPPY STRIPS by Foot Petals

Sandals with thin straps look great but those thin straps often dig in, hurt, and leave ugly red marks even after you surrender and kick the shoes off. Slingbacks are notorious for being too loose and slipping off of being too tight and digging in. These thin cushions, called Strappy Strips, are the answer. If your slingback won’t stay on your ankle, this strip adds the necessary grip to make that strap stay in place. Or if your slingbacks are too tight and rub against your skin, Strappy Strips add a protective barrier that’s smooth and comfortable. Bye-bye, blisters! Like other Foot Petals products, these Strappy Strips are made from a very cushy material called PORON. You peel and stick them right wear you need them. Add the much-needed padding to those thin straps or keep your slingbacks in place. Of course, Strappy Strips are completely hidden from view. These are versatile stripes that can be used in any spot where there’s discomfort.  You can cut them so they’re the perfect size for even the slimmest spots. For a gel version, check out the Apara Gel Strappies.

GEL ARCH APPEAL by Apara

Some ladies need more support in their heels: These Gel Arch Appeal cushions are a must-have if you need a little arch support! Remember, you are going to be standing in high heels for a long time on your wedding day and most high heel evening shoes have little or no padding and support at all. These gel insoles for your arch will add cushioning where you need it most. You will be dancing all night!

SOLE STOPPERZ by Foot Petals

What good would a great fit do if you’re slipping and sliding in your fabulous heels? A lot of shoes have a polished shoe that makes them hard to walk in. Enter Sole Stopperz. This fabulous product sticks onto soles, adding instant traction for even the slickest surfaces. The days of scuffing up the soles of your evening shoes on the sidewalk to prevent embarrassing falls is over! This little cushion goes on the sole of your shoes to prevent slipping and sliding on hard surfaces. Just stick right these on the soles of your shoes – this cushion isn’t budging. More and more we’re seeing pretty soles in gorgeous colors, like hot pink and red – you don’t want to scuff up that pretty finish just to add traction, so this is the perfect product to keep you slip-free and keep your soles looking pretty.

There’s a shoe cushion product to fix any fit concern, so you can get the most out of your beautiful heels. As long as you have $10 worth of foot cushion products in your cart, you’ll automatically get free ground shipping for your MyGlassSlipper.com, BridalShoes.com and MetallicBridalShoes.com order.

Our guest blogger Brea Gunn, a wedding industry insider, is back with us today to talk about the shoe trends you can expect to see for spring.

I’m sure that you’ve already figured out that I have a complete and total shoe obsession (What girl doesn’t?). I’ll fess up: I’m a nutcase when it comes to the latest, greatest shoes. Which is why I was super excited to see some new trends emerging for this spring.

If you’re shoe shopping for your upcoming spring wedding then you’re just in time to find the hottest trends hitting the stores. And you have plenty of time to shop for the perfect pair (It’s a match made in heaven, I’m telling you!). So… What should you wear for your wedding this spring?

One of my favorite trends is metallic heels. They’re fabulous! I love the look of a polished shoe that adds some interesting flash to an outfit while still remaining ladylike and aisle-appropriate. And they’re shiny. Who doesn’t like a little shine?

Here are some fabulous metallic shoes from MetallicBridalShoes.com:

Webster in Silver by Caparros

Belina in Gold by Paris Hilton

Ivanna-320 in Silver by Touch Ups

Another new trend is an older look that’s coming back: pointed toes. I’ve noticed this classic look in the collections of all the top designers, including Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, and Alexander Wang. I love a good sassy, pointy toe. It’s demure with a bit of edge. And a pointed toe elongates your leg – always a bonus for ladies.

Here are some great pointed toe shoes from MyGlassSlipper.com and BridalShoes.com:

Lori by Dyeables

Zeta by Touch Ups

Ankle straps are also making a comeback – just in time for some great strappy sandal weather. More and more brides are choosing sandals for their spring weddings, and with an ankle strap, you can even get that great “jump shot” (Lame basketball reference, I know. Forgive me, please.) Ankle straps provide the extra support you need when wearing a sexy sandal with a barely there look.

Here are great wedding shoes with ankle straps from MyGlassSlipper.com:

Evelia by Pour La Victoire

Jeweled by Badgley Mischka

And, for those vertically challenged girls (like myself), platforms are back in a big, big way! We’re not talking demure hidden platforms – those are always fashionable. This spring, thick, ’70s-style platforms are everywhere. Unless your future hubby is just a few inches taller than you, I’m voting for a high platform sandal with an ankle strap for a winning shoe this season.

Here are some stellar platform wedding shoes from MyGlassSlipper.com:

Brea Gunn writes about Westchester wedding venues and shares wedding business marketing tips for the bridal business.

Today we’re resting our heels with a treat for our readers: A post about must-have bridal jewelry! Our friends at the Elizabeth Diamond Company shared their favorite bridal jewelry trend with My Glass Slipper. What’s the news? A Tacori takeover!

Before you spend hours selecting the perfect shoes to complement your perfect dress, you need to have one little thing first: an engagement ring. Keeping pace with the glam new shoe styles, Tacori engagement rings are the hottest trend in bridal jewelry. Tacori rings and jewelry have recently been spotted on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, Emmys, and Oscars; in bridal mags like Martha Stewart Weddings; on the covers of W, ELLE, and InStyle; and on starlets like Twilight saga star Nikki Reed and actress Tia Mowry.

Why are Tacori rings so popular? Tacori has been in the jewelry business for over 40 years, and they are experts at designing stunning fine jewelry. Each diamond engagement ring is handcrafted in the Tacori design studio in California, so no two pieces are exactly the same. According to Paul Tacorian, “Heirloom elegance with a modern touch is the Tacori style.”

Tacori has five collections of rings, each with a unique style, with dozens of designs in each collection. Whether you prefer a vintage look, something simple, an elaborate design, or a bold, modern style, Tacori has a ring for you.

The Simply Tacori collection offers contemporary looks with heirloom appeal. Much like Audrey Hepburn, these rings showcase an elegant, classic style:

In the Tacori Crescent collection, signature Tacori crescents in the band create windows of light along the sides for interest from every angle. The more light around the diamond, the more fire and brilliance:

The Tacori Engraved collection features bands with hand-etched details in a wheat or scroll design that add beauty to the ring through depth and artistic inspiration:

The Tacori Dantela collection presents elaborate, glamorous designs featuring a larger central stone surrounded by smaller diamonds and intricate details:

The Tacori Neotare collection showcases distinctly modern designs with a bold look. These rings feature wider bands that truly embrace your finger and proclaim your wedded status to the world:

Tacori also offers a large selection of wedding bands for both men and women in each of the five collections. You can browse the Tacori website directly or the site of one of their authorized dealers, such as Elizabeth Diamond Company, to see more of their gorgeous designs.

Enjoy the sparkle and your own happily ever after!

If you’re in the market for a haute couture wedding gown at an off-the-rack price, you may be luck: Designer Christian Siriano announced he’s partnering with department store chain Nordstrom to create an exclusive bridal collection.

The past Project Runway winner tweeted the exciting news yesterday: “Excited to announce we are doing an exclusive bridal collection for Nordstrom. Here’s the very first one, more to come!”

Attached with the message to followers was this picture, revealing the first wedding gown from his impending line:

Our immediate thoughts: While this is a downright pretty dress, we expected more from Siriano, who’s known for his high-fashion and over-the-top concoctions. This dress is not a white version of his signature runway aesthetic.

The creation doesn’t stray far from current wedding gown trends: strapless, fit-and-flare, pleating, a two-tiered skirt, a wispy floral attachment. It’s nothing out of the ordinary, and we’re not sold that this will stand out amongst other wedding gowns in the bridal industry.

It’s – dare we say? – generic. At least coming from a designer who is known for such a unique, breathtaking style.

Christian Siriano’s runway gowns

Siriano is arguably the most successful Project Runway alum because of his sassy personality and stunning creations – he’s stayed true to his couture aesthetic in the past, and we hope he doesn’t pare down his signature style to appeal to the masses.

We would love to see the wedding gowns fashionistas are yearning for, and Siriano seems like the perfect fit to deliver wedding dresses that look like they’re straight from the runway.

The first gown from the collection, shown above, is priced at $2,375. Further details have yet to be released.

What do you think? Is that the dress you expected from Christian Siriano?

Our guest blogger Veronica Castro, owner of bridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride destination boutique Vesa Dresses, is back on our blog today to dish on a new bridal fashion trend inspired by the red carpet: Bridal headbands. This is a sweet and romantic look any bride can master.

Bridal was definitely the inspiration for some of the celebrities at the Golden Globes, from beautiful flowing dresses to sparkly accessories. One noteworthy celebrity accessory that works perfectly for brides is the headband.

Michelle Williams at the Golden Globes

Headbands have been on the rise in bridal fashion for the past few years now – gone are the days that everyone wears a tiara when they say “I do.” Believe me, I love to wear my tiara but the headband is just such an ethereal look. Brides can find headbands with delicate ribbons or stretch bands that can be secured with bobby pins for a secure fit. Crystal rhinestone headbands look stunning with an up-do or down with curls.

You can feel free to accessorize your look with a brooch, bracelets, earrings, a beautiful belt and a gorgeous big necklace, even with a headband on. Accessorizing is essential to creating a stylish look that’s all your own.

Veronica Castro is a graduate of L.I.M and F.I.T in NYC.  She has more than 8 years of experience in the bridal industry. Recently married herself, Veronica loves being a part of the wedding experience. The owners of Vesa Dresses are a mother and daughter team.
