Prince Harry Marries Ms. Meghan Markle - Windsor Castle

A bride makes many,manydecisions when it comes to planning her wedding — one of the most important being her dress. But if you ask any bride what the second most important part of her wedding day look is, you’ll most likely be told “the shoes.” From walking down the aisle to dancing the night away at the reception, a bride’s shoe choice is not only a crucial sartorial detail, but it’s a make-or-break accessory — because, let’s face it, no one wants to experience the excruciating pain that comes with spending 10-plus hours in a pair of uncomfortable heels. So what shoe designer did Meghan Markle turn to on the day ofher wedding to Prince Harry? That would be luxury Italian shoe designer Edgardo Osorio of the label Aquazzura.

The Duchess of Sussex is a longtime fan of Aquazzura, having worn their Matilde crisscross suede 105mm pumps (you can shop a similar style here) forher engagement announcement lookas well as a pair of the brand’s black pumps at aCommonwealth Women’s Empowerment reception in April. Osorio co-founded Aquazzura in 2011 and has since acquired a cult-like following of celebrities and fashionistas (and he can now add royalty to the list!). Aquazzura is known for using the highest-quality Italian leather and suede to create uncompromising comfort in their designs (which makes Meghan’s choice of the label a total no-brainer).

Meghan chose a satin pair of Aquazzura pumps complete with blue soles (possibly her something blue!) for hersecond wedding lookat the Frogmore House on the Windsor Estate. She paired the satin heels with a stunning white Stella McCartney gown andan aquamarine emerald-cut ring that belonged to the late Princess Diana.
