Thought we were done fawning over Ciara’s drop dead gorgeous wedding day style? Oh, how wrong you are! How could we possibly be over the luxe look when there are so many aspects to ooh and aah over? Those bell sleeves… That corseted front… All of that lovely lace… With so many eye-popping details in Ciara’s Roberto Cavalli custom couture wedding dress, we almost forgot about the cherry on top of any bridal ensemble — the shoes! So what kind of wedding-worthy heel carried the sultry star down the aisle? The gorgeous kind, duh…
The “Dance Like We’re Making Love” singer certainly did just that at her recent wedding to Russell Wilson in a perfect pair of shoes Italian designer Giuseppe Zanotti made just for the occasion. And while you may think that no shoe could possibly compete with Ciara’s swoon-worthy wedding dress, Giuseppe Zanotti obviously knew what he was doing, as the expert shoe couturier whipped up a pretty pair of heels so beautiful that they made the bride’s English castle wedding even more of a fairytale. (Every Cinderella needs her glass slippers, right?)

To compliment the rest of the singer’s “I do” look, Giuseppe Zanotti created a custom pair of sandals with a mid-high heel, using white satin. The designer also added a bit of lace on the refined ankle strap in order to tie together Ciara’s lace gown and her stunning shoes. Just the sketch is enough to make you swoon, right?

But the bride wasn’t the only member of the wedding party to get the royal treatment when it came to footwear. For the rehearsal dinner, Ciara’s son, Future Zahir Wilburn, also rocked a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes courtesy of Giuseppe Zanotti — white leather sneakers, embellished with a sleek silver strap. How is this kid so fly at only 2-years-old?

So are you head-over-wedding-heels in love with Ciara’s complete bridal ensemble? The singer herself certainly is! She posted her thanks to the designer on social media, writing “Thank you, Mr. Giuseppe for all your hard work you put into making sure I had the perfect shoe for my wedding. Love you.”
Want to whip us up a similar couture creation, Zanotti? We’ll love you too!
