Among the most popular are Vanessa Noel, Peter Fox and Kenneth Cole and, of course, Manolo Blahnik. Other hot names in the wedding business include Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs and Sergio Rossi. Whatever the choice, wear the shoes around the house for a couple of weeks. Footwear can be a pretty focal point, but most important, shoes shouldn't hurt. A bride should float through her day.

In Italy, where I come from, removing your gloves at the altar is like a striptease.
