Third Coast-based designer, James Ciccotti is helping brides-to-be start off their married lives off on the right foot with a beautiful collection of bridal shoes.  He offers over 40 exclusive shoe styles that have been carefully crafted out of silk satin and made in Italy. The majority of the styles are also dyeable.  Prices for the shoes range between $200-$800.  Visit his Lincoln Park neighborhood store location or shop the website here.  Here is some advice from James about picking the perfect shoe for the big day:

1. Allow yourself enough time to find the perfect pair of shoes before your fitting begin

2. Comfort should be your highest priority and you'll know if it's right the minute you try on the shoe. There's no need to be seen on the dance floor without shoes

3. Choose a heel height which allows you to walk comfortably and with confidence. You'll want to feel secure walking down the aisle, on the stairs and dancing the night away

4. Choose a shoe style which is appropriate for your dress, time of year and your image, whether it be elegant, sophisticated or romantic

5. It is essential to have your shoes for your dress fittings. Never substitute or suggest a certain heel height. Finding the exact same heel at a later date may prove more difficult than you think
