Wedding Shoe Trivia - Part 2: 'SHOwErs' of blessings

In Anglo Saxon times, the groom would symbolically tap the bride's forehead with the heel of the bride's shoe to show his authority over her. The brides tossed one of her shoes rather than bouquets to bridesmaids who hoped to be the next to marry.

According to an alternative Turkish wedding culture, all the bride's single girlfriends will sign the soles of her wedding shoes. It is said that the person whose name fades the most after the shoes have made their way down the aisle and seen their time on the dance floor will be the next to get married.

During Tudor times, guests would throw shoes at the newlywed couple. O-U-C-H! If they or their carriage were hit, it meant good luck was bestowed upon them!The tradition of tying shoes to the back of the couple's car. Now, thankfully, folks just tie shoes to the new couple's car.

Aren't we glad that some customs evolved with time. :)

Less well known is for the bride's father to give the groom a pair of the bride's shoes to symbolise the passing of responsibility for the daughter to her new husband.

Wedding Shoe Ritual - Part 1: And silver sixpence in your shoe (Part 1)

There're many interesting rituals regarding wedding shoes.

Have you heard of the verse "something old, something new"?

The full text of the verse goes like this:
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And silver sixpence in your shoe.

Try tucking some coins in your wedding shoe, it is believed to bring you wealth in your married life and protection against wants.
(Source: Olmert, Michael (1996). Milton's Teeth and Ovid's Umbrella: Curiouser & Curiouser Adventures in History, p.155. Simon & Schuster, New York)

The old Swedish custom carry this further. The bride will place one silver coins in her left shoe from her father, and one gold coin in her right from her mother to ensure that she will never go without. (Source: http://www.beau-coup.com/swedish-wedding-traditions.htm)

Watch this space... we'll bring you more interesting wedding shoe rituals...

I have just collected my wedding shoe (sophie -ivory) yesterday - 12/07/09 and I must say it is LOVELY!!~

Cant wait to wear it on my BIG DAY though!!!...(",)

I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the good service rendered by your staff, Mr Zaini and also to compliment him for his patience to answer my queries without hesitation and the extra mile to provide me an excellent service!!

I will definitely recommend Sinderella to my family & friends....

Once again thank you so very much.....

From Iris, owner of Ashley, email dated 18 June 09 (click on the image to enlarge),

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Doris for her excellent service and I would also like to compliment her for her good patience and the extra mile to provide me an excellent service! I must said : I am really impressed.

I was frantically looking for a pair of nice wedding shoes for my ROM which is 4 days away. I went around the shopping malls in Orchard but could not find any so I decided to surf the internet to try my luck. As I was browsing through the internet, I came across Sinderella website. I went to take a look at the shoes gallery and ...wow...I saw 2 pairs of shoes that I really like to match my ROM dress.

Without hesitation, I decided to call Doris & make an appointment to see her. Doris was very patient and waited for me to finish my job (it was about 2130) in order to pop by her shop to try the shoes. I really appreciated! When I reached the place, I was in dilemma again because one pair really goes well with my gown but my preference was the silver pair which I really fell in love when I saw it..the feeling was liked love at 1st sight.

I could not make up my mind which one to choose so Doris made an extra mile (which I really appreciate) by offering to pop by with me to the bridal shop to try the 2 selected shoes with my ROM dress. After trying on the 2 pairs, I finally managed to buy the pair that I loved most which was the silver pair. I was really happy :)

I really appreciated Doris efforts as she travelled down to clients' place to help them knowing the fact that most of the brides will be very busy during the period of time to prepare for their wedding. I must say it is really not easy to find these good service from anyone else. Doris, I really appreciate a lot for your patience and effort.

I have made the right choice to choose Sinderella as my Bridal shoes. I will definitely recommend Sinderella to my friends. Thank you very much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Allison, France, owner of 4" Ashley, email dated 15 May 09,

Just wanna drop a quick line to inform you that I collected my shoes yesterday. They are awesome! Just a little bit (0.5cm?) big, but that's not a big deal. I won't feel too tight!

I also had the surprise to discover 2 alternative buckles, which is great so I can re-use them later. Again, merci beaucoup!

It was a real pleasure dealing with you and I will definitely recommend your boutique to all my friends!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Jacqueline, Malaysia, owner of white Sophie, email dated 11 May,

I just finished cleaning the shoes from dust after the pre-wedding photo shoot taking place yesterday in KL! Now they looked as pretty as when I received them :)

... I was very fortunate to get to know Sinderella bridal shoes (via the Malaysia Brides forum).I hope you guys continue with the good works and surprise all the BTBs!

....

email dated 7 May 2009

I was so excited and went to open the package delivered straight away once stepping in my home back from office.

It is a lovely pair and they match so well with my white lacey dress.

Thanks for arranging this and your super fast action, there isn't any birthday present better than this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From QX, owner of 2" Silver Belle, dated 31 April 2009

"...I've just collected the shoes. Its lovely and fit really well. I really wanna say a big thank you to you for taking the trouble to meet me..."

From Faith, owner of Ivory Jodie, sms dated 9 March 2009

"Thanks much, have recommended you ladies to my friends, you've been great!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Sabrina, owner of Silver Belle, sms dated 22 February 2009

"That shoes I bought from you is so nice. All my friends comment about it"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Connie, owner of white Jodie, email dated 4 Feb 2009:

"I found sinderella when I did a search online for wedding shoes. It was love at first sight when I saw the pictures of those shoes on the sinderella website. I immediately contacted Doris and was pleased to hear a very friendly voice on the phone.

She was very helpful and within the next few days, she came by my office with a wide array of shoes and handbags for me to choose from. I did not take long to choose my ideal pair of shoes which was the Jodie design. Unfortunately, the size was a little too small. Doris then assured me that she would pass me the right size shoes before my photoshoot.

She was also nice enough to pass me a copy of the wedding songs/music she used for her own wedding when she realised that I brought forward my wedding (she was concerned that I would not have enough time to plan things like songs etc).

All in all, I find Doris' service very professional. She is a very nice and friendly girl who goes her way out to make her customers happy."

Thank you, Connie. Its our pleasure. Enjoy your photoshoot and most importantly have fun on your wedding day! Best wishes!:)

The Wedding Diary Asia - Update

During the Wedding Diary Asia exhibition, we met a few loving moms who'd like to order our bridal shoes for their daughters who were currently based abroad. A very touching gesture to me.

This is the kind of bonding that is unique to mother-daughter relationship. We knew each others' sizes, tastes and styles and some of us may even share our wardrobe of shoes and clothes. But the moms will probably be more familiar with the daughters' than vice versa.

I may also do the same for my lil' darling when she get married. But that will be many many years down the road. :)

On a serperate note, our official Sinderella website is ready! You're most welcome to visit us at www.sinderella.com.sg. Our new bling bling gang of Chloe, Vanessa, Tiffani, Hannah etc., which is a hit at the exhibition, has yet to be made their appearance online. Please bear with us for a while ok? We need time to sort out the available stock and sizes after the exhibition.

In the mean time, you can purchase items from either here or the webby. Feel free to email us at sales@sinderella.com.sg for any enquiries.

Ta!

White wedding: Choosing the right shade of white

White is the traditional color of bridal dress in both western (European) and Japanese weddings. The ancient Greek started the tradition of white at wedding, which they saw as the bridal symbol of joy and celebration (1). In Japan, the bride wears a pure white kimono known as shiromuku which symbolizes purity as well as a new beginning as the bride is reborn a member of her husband's family (2).
Anne of Brittany wore a white wedding dress or her marriage to Louis XII of France in 1499. But up until the late 19th century, brides wore just about any color for their wedding gown (3).

In 1840, Queen Victoria wore white for her wedding to Prince Albert and started the fashion for wearing white.

Today, a white wedding gown is a MUST have for all weddings. But there are more than 200 shades of white around. How do do pick the right shade of white? Here're some suggestions to help you choose one that complements your skin tone:

For your gown

If you're fair-skinned, look for ivory shades containing yellow undertones.
If you have a pinker complexion, choose creamy undertones.
If you have olive, yellow-based, or dark skin, select champagne or off-white shades.

For your bridal shoes

Ivory dresses tend to go well with gold shades and ivory shoes. You can consider Champagne Belle, Ivory Sophie, Yvette and Jodie.

Truer whites work better with silver tones and of course the white shades. Match it with Silver Belle, White Sophie, Yvette, Jodie and Elsie.
