Hollywould

198 Elizabeth St., nr. Spring St.; 212-343-8344; ilovehollywould.com

Holly Dunlap’s flirty, ultragirlie shoes are right at home in this hip Nolita boutique. Some wedding-friendly options include ballet flats in three colors with gem accents at the toe, or a sexy peep-toe with a hand-tied bow in back ($395).

Iris

827 Washington St., nr. Little W. 12th St.; 212-645-0950

The Italian manufacturer’s first stateside store hawks the designer shoes it produces (Viktor & Rolf, Chloé, John Galliano). A pair of Marc Jacobs strappy heels in taupe-and-gray patent leather ($595) would look lovely under any gown.

Jimmy Choo

645 Fifth Ave., at 51st St., (various locations); 212-593-0800; jimmychoo.com

The strappy Smooth sandals in ivory will give brides serious height. For a more classic choice, Choo’s bridal collection has several jeweled styles or white satin slingbacks ($445).

Kate Spade

454 Broome St., at Mercer St.; 212-274-1991; katespade.com

Kate Spade isn’t just a bag lady anymore. She’s expanded her empire to include a dainty wedding shoe line. Her ivory satin slingback sandals ($250) or ankle-wrap sandals ($255) will do less damage to a bride’s wallet than most other designer wedding shoes.

Manolo Blahnik

31 W. 54th St., nr. Sixth Ave.; 212-582-3007; manoloblahnik.com

These classic-yet-chic shoes will fit any bride’s look. The wedding styles ($495 for a pair of slingbacks or simple, dyeable pumps) are reportedly a bit more comfortable than the usual choices.

My Glass Slipper

20 W. 22nd St., nr. Fifth Ave., Ste. 614; 212-627-0231; myglassslipper.com

Dyeable shoes may invoke flashbacks to prom, but brides who want their shoes to be a perfect shade of ivory need not fear. My Glass Slipper offers a wide selection of dyeables by upscale designers such as Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman, and more affordable options under $100 from Nina and Colorful Creations.
