Some of you will know that I’ve had my wedding shoes since the middle of last year, however I’ve been on the look out for some pretty shoes that I could dance all night in (because if there is one thing I’m planning on doing on my wedding day, it’s hitting up the dancefloor with a glass of Prosecco for the entirety of the evening). I really struggled to find what I was looking for, so when Elegant Steps got in touch and offered to send me some shoes for the big day, a quick peruse of their website showed they had lots of lovely options to pick from, so of course I said yes.
I was in the market for a pair of flats, and chose from the range Rainbow Club, which is a range predominately aimed at the bridal and occasion wear market. One thing I really like about this range is that if you want a more traditional style shoe, but maybe a non-traditional colour, they can dye any of the shoes in the range to a custom colour should you desire.
Another great thing about the range is because they’re targeted at the the Bridal market, they’re built with comfort in mind, designed to be worn all day. If I hadn’t of already had a pair of shoes in the waiting I probably would have considered wearing these all day, but they have a huge selection of different styles of shoes, from high heels to kittens, all the way down to flats. If this pair are anything to go by, then the range won’t leave you disappointed.
They arrived in a pretty pink and white striped box, and inside they were delicately individually wrapped in tissue paper to keep them protected on their Journey. They even have a little blue diamanté on the sole of the shoe so it can have you covered for your something blue in one go as well, a cute little touch that’s not overwhelming.
When I was looking at the flats there was one pair which stood out to me, and when I saw the name I was sold. I picked the Stevie (the name of my Sister in Law to be and one of my Bridesmaids), so it felt like a little ‘aww’ moment. Mine were not dyed, although I was tempted to have them coloured, these are an off white satin, with a silver glitter trim. The toes are slightly pointed but not too much so that I find them uncomfortable, or make my already big size 8 feet look any larger. Finished off with a glittery trim which I thought was silver, but it’s actually more of a champagne in person. I was little nervous that the glitter might be a bit catchy and might catch on the inside of my dress and inhibit my crazy dance moves, but they’re nice and smooth and don’t catch on a thing.
One of the things I like about this pair is that they do have the tiniest of raised heel, and as you walk around they click and clack and give you the feeling that you’re wearing heels just because of the sound that they make.
The inside of the shoes is cushioned and comfortable, while there’s extra backup around those often painful areas with a foamy feeling heel and padded area around the toe. I have lots of faith that these are going to keep me comfortable all night long, and as soon as I’m ready to hit the dance floor I’m going to be slipping these on.
If you’re in the market for some Wedding shoes I totally recommend the range of Rainbow Club ones from Elegant Steps, which you can view here or find this shoe in particular here. The range is budget friendly, but doesn’t compromise on style of comfort. I’ll do a full report on these once they’ve been worn, so far I’ve totted around the house wearing them, but have had to be careful to not get them around two pesky dogs with dusty paws.
Thank you to Elegant Steps for gifting me a pair, thoughts and experiences are based on my own.

These are really cute shoes! Perfect for wedding day they look really comfortable
They’re so comfortable, the sponginess inside makes me want to wear them all the time!
They’re so pretty! Definitely the perfect option, they’ll look so pretty peeping out! x
I think so too! little bit of sparkle!
These are stunning wish I knew pretty flats like this existed for my Prom!
I used to have loads of pretty flats, but they seem to have all disappeared this year!
I work in a store and it’s all basic and simple x
You can get away with flats – lucky!
I know! I might have worn them if they’d arrived in time for my dress fitting to adjust length but they didn’t quite make it!
I’d love to wear heels all day, but I don’t want to get to the point where my feet get sore/I get moany and stop enjoying myself – especially as we’re planning on doing a lot of walking on honeymoon 2 days later!
These are so pretty and that blue diamante is a nice subtle touch, I almost missed it in the sole even with you writing about it. It’s great to find some comfortable flats that still look really nice too.
It took my third time looking at the shoes before I noticed that it was there, I wasn’t paying attention or knew it was there to look out for it!
I found flats really hard to find on the high street they either didn’t match or they weren’t dressy! X
They are absolutely gorgeous! I love the trim and small heel. They have a soft and delicate look to them 🙂 Congratulations by the way 😀 <3 xx

Thank you! Not long to go now, eek! x
Naww, When is the big day? Will you be sharing your wedding pics? I’d love to see them 🙂
It was three weeks on Saturday, so 20 days! x
These shoes are so pretty <3 Ascot and Windsor race days are coming up, as is Henley Regatta – a pair of these might we worth investing in! x
Yes, I think I’ll be pulling them out for future dressier occasions where standing in heels all day or on grass is not ideal!
Aww, these shoes are so cute and pretty! I really like the design. I really like the tiny raised heel, too! They look comfortable. Lovely post. xx
They are so comfy!
Lovely!!!
Aren’t they just!
Those are really cute!
Oh how cute are those shoes, I love the band around them it really seems to offer them a nice finishing touch. x
Oh these are just gorgeous – we got married almost 1 year ago and these would have been perfect x
They are stunning, I would wear them all day and forget uncomfy heels x
It’s very tempting, they didn’t quite arrive in time for my dress fitting
These shoes look great. I love a good pair of flats
What a pretty pair of flats, I love the detailing and it is great that they were built with comfort in mind. They are cute x
These flats are adorable! The color is great and they do look so comfy.
I love the color of these shoes! They look good and i’m glad to hear they’re comfortable.
Awww how cute are these wedding shoes, definitely loving the little heel because then I wont totally feel like I am walking bare footed.
There is something about wearing heels that makes you feel a bit more dressy, the noise and the tiny raised platform give the effect of heels without actually wearing them!
These shoes are so pretty, and perfect for dancing the night away in! x
These are lovely shoes and I am so glad more people are happy wearing flats. I don’t like heels so I’d be tempted to wear these all day x
I probably would have done if they had arrived in time for my dress fitting but my dress will be too long if I did for the day now!
These are cute and definitely what you need to dance the evening away in xxx
These are just perfect! My wedding shoes weren’t very comfy so I ended up dancing barefoot. I’m sending this link to my sister for her wedding this summer!
These are just lovely! Perfect for dancing in all night 🙂 The blue diamanté is just adorable, and good thinking on their part.
Comfortable is a must at weddings! I love the glittery trim, perfect for such an occasion 🙂
These look so comfy! I don’t think I’d be able to walk and dance in high heels all night at a wedding (or even for my own!)
I don’t blame you for wearing flats on your big day, bet it was much comfier!
Such pretty, elegant pumps and they look so comfy too 🙂 x
Those shoes look stunning and easy to walk in. They are perfect for weddings as you are on your feet all day.
They look really delicate and comfortable perfect for dancing the night away! My mummy ended up dancing in her wellies at her wedding!!
These are absolutely lovely and the perfect style for a comfortable wedding day. I had the most beautiful pair of shoes that I ADORED, however they were the most painful pair of shoes I have ever worn and I ended up barefoot for most of it
Sounds like they have a great range. I never got to wear my wedding shoes as I broke my toe and had to wear sandals!
I’m loving the flats. Isn’t is fun how they’re able to die shoes to match any color? They look super comfortable .. so hopefully there won’t be any blisters on your dancing feet x
I love this flat it looks simple but elegant and I think I would choose this instead of heel and I’m comfortable with flats
These shoes are so cute, I love the glittery trim and the ‘something blue’ diamonte is really clever. You’d look gorgeous whatever you put on your feet, but these are just perfect.

These are so cute! I especially love the comfort level. There are so many beautiful shoes out there, but if you can’t do what you really want to do in them, in this case dance the night away, then it can ruin the experience. I am also a size 8, so it’s nice to know they have this size available. x
Ooh these are soooo pretty!! I wore flat shoes on my wedding day and it was so much more comfortable for dancing!! xxx
