The lehenga’s locked, the jewellery is confirmed, and your makeup references could fill a lookbook, but what about your shoes? Often the last to be chosen, they’re also the one piece that needs to carry you (literally) through every moment. From the aisle to the afterparty, your footwear should feel as flawless as it looks.
That's where Tiesta comes in — the bridal footwear brand making custom feel couture, not to mention comfortable. Every pair is designed to be entirely bespoke, from size and colour to embroidery and finish. Think: your dream shoe, made to measure.
As a bride, these five signature shoe styles will see you through every moment of your wedding weekend. From haldi to the final farewell, each pair is customisable to match your look, your fit, and your comfort. Six outfits in three days? Tiesta has you covered.
1 Kolhapuri sandals
For last-minute errands
Rooted in tradition and endlessly versatile, Kolhapuris are the ultimate go-to for those last-minute wedding errands. Their open design keeps things cool and breezy, while the sturdy sole offers just enough support to survive the chaos.
Fuss-free, classically grounded, and effortlessly chic, just slip on and go.
2 Daytime wedges
For mehendi, haldi, or garden functions
When you want a bit of lift without the wobble, a wedge is the perfect in-between. It’s comfortable enough for extended wear yet dressy enough for embroidered lehengas and statement jewellery.
Ideal for brides hosting backyard haldis or poolside mehendis where heels might sink or slip.
3 Statement flats
For greeting guests in style
Between touching feet, receiving guests, and darting between décor updates, comfort is key. A well-crafted flat lets you stay graceful and grounded through it all.
Add a touch of embroidery, beadwork, or metallic detailing to elevate your outfit without compromising movement.
4 Classic kitten heels
A sophisticated staple in gold, white, or black
A low, elegant heel in a neutral tone is a bridal must-have. The kitten heel offers just the right amount of lift without the strain, making it the chic-est option for occasions where you want to look polished but stay comfortable.
Stick to neutral shades like gold, ivory, or white to pair seamlessly across outfits.
5 Party block heels
For the after-party
A chunky block heel gives you support without sacrificing style, especially when you're dancing through your sangeet.
Opt for ankle straps or wide-set heels for extra stability when the music hits. Best of all, you can customise the embroidery to echo every detail of your lehenga.
