Occasion Shoes

Q: What occasion shoe brands does The Queen B stock?

Misstyl and Capollini lead the collection, with new styles arriving through the season. Expect heels in gold, silver, violet, pink and black, chosen to pair with our occasion wear and mother of the bride collections.

Q: What colour shoes go with an occasion dress?

Gold or silver, nine times out of ten. Metallic shoes flatter most skin tones and work under nearly any colour of dress, which is why they dominate wedding season. If your outfit has a strong print, a heel in one of its shades is the other reliable route.

Q: Where can I buy occasion shoes near Cardiff?

The Queen B Boutique in Penarth, a short trip from Cardiff, stocks occasion shoes alongside dresses, bags and millinery. Shop online, or have them fitted with your outfit during a styling appointment.

Q: What shoes should the mother of the bride wear?

Shoes she can still smile in at 9pm. A mid-height block or a comfortable court in gold, silver or a shade from her outfit is the classic answer. Fit matters more than height. We fit mother of the bride shoes with the outfit on, so the hem and heel work together.

Q: How do I keep occasion shoes comfortable all day?

Buy the right size in the afternoon, when feet are at their largest, and wear the shoes at home before the event. Choose a heel height you already manage happily. If the day runs long, a fold-up flat in your occasion bag is cheap insurance.

Occasion Shoes

The wrong shoes can ruin a brilliant outfit by three in the afternoon. Our occasion shoes are chosen to last the whole day, from ceremony to dance floor, not just the photographs. Heels from Misstyl and Capollini in gold, silver, violet and blush, fitted in the boutique with your outfit on.

Metallics dominate for a reason. A gold or silver heel works under nearly every occasion dress, so one good pair covers several events. The brighter shades, violet, pink and cobalt, are there for the women dressing to a colour.

Heel heights run from barely-there to statement. If you are the mother of the bride, comfort is not negotiable, and we will say so in the fitting room. Our stylists fit shoes as part of the full styling appointment, so the dress, shoes, bag and hat get decided together rather than gambled on separately.

We are in Penarth, across the bay from Cardiff. Bring your dress, and leave with the whole look finished.
