Forever Soles is an Australian bridal footwear brand known for blending style, elegance, and comfort.
Founded with the mission to help brides feel their best from the aisle to the dance floor, the brand has become a favorite among brides who seek both fashion and function on their special day. In this exclusive Q&A, we chat with Angie, Director of Forever Soles, and discover the inspiration behind their designs, expert tips for choosing the perfect pair, and what trends are on the horizon for bridal footwear.
1. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind Forever Soles and how it all began?
Forever Soles was born from a personal desire to create beautiful yet comfortable bridal shoes. As a bride myself, I struggled to find shoes that were both stylish and wearable for an entire wedding day. I wanted to design a collection that allows brides to move freely, dance with joy, and truly enjoy every moment without sore feet. What started as a passion project has now become a beloved brand for brides who value both comfort and style on their wedding day.
2. What sets Forever Soles apart from other bridal shoe brands?
Forever Soles is all about effortless beauty and ease. We focus on designing shoes that are not just gorgeous but also wearable from ceremony to reception. Our unique blend of bohemian-inspired details, quality craftsmanship, and comfort-driven features—such as soft cushioned soles and secure fits—ensures brides feel their best on their big day.
3. Could you walk us through your design process? How do you ensure comfort and style go hand in hand?
At Forever Soles, our design process is a blend of creativity, practicality, and attention to detail. It starts with inspiration—whether from a vintage shoe material, a dreamy wedding aesthetic, or feedback from real brides. Our designer sketches designs, carefully selecting soft leathers, breathable fabrics, and cushioned soles to enhance comfort. Once we have prototypes, we test them in our studio, wearing them around the office to ensure they feel as good as they look. We refine the fit, adjust straps for security, and perfect heel heights to provide balance and support. Every pair is designed to let brides move freely and enjoy their special day without discomfort.
4. What are some of the most popular styles brides are gravitating towards for 2025 weddings?
With inspiration from New York Bridal Fashion Week 2025, brides are embracing pearl embellishments, sleek satin finishes, and elegantly structured block heels for added support. Vintage-inspired silhouettes are making a statement, with modern twists on classic designs—think ankle-wrap flats, dainty Mary Janes, and strappy heels with intricate beading. Versatility is also a key trend, as many brides are choosing shoes that seamlessly transition from the aisle to everyday wear, embracing styles that are both timeless and wearable beyond the wedding day.
5. Many brides prioritise comfort on their wedding day. How do you balance comfort and elegance in your designs?
We use soft linings, cushioned insoles, and supportive heel structures to ensure every step feels as good as it looks. Our designs feature secure ankle straps and flexible materials so brides can move with ease, whether they’re walking down the aisle or dancing the night away. We tend to steer away from sky-high stilettos despite knowing they are often the sexy and sleek option. We need our shoes to be wearable.
6. Do you offer customisation options for brides who want a personal touch to their wedding shoes?
We love working with brides to bring their vision to life. While we don’t offer individual personalisation, we do take on board all design suggestions and try to incorporate what brides are asking for in our collections.
7. How should brides choose the perfect shoes to complement their wedding gowns?
It’s all about balance! If your dress has intricate details, opt for a simpler shoe, while a minimalist dress can be paired with a statement heel. Consider the hem length, wedding location, and your personal comfort preferences when selecting the perfect pair.
8. What advice would you give to brides when selecting shoes for outdoor or destination weddings?
For outdoor weddings, opt for block heels or flats to avoid sinking into grass or sand. For beach weddings, barefoot sandals or soft, flexible flats are great options. Comfort is key—break in your shoes before the big day!
9. Do you have any exciting upcoming collections or trends in bridal footwear that you can share with us?
We’re excited to embrace the latest 2025 bridal trends with a collection that blends vintage elegance with modern versatility. This year, we’re introducing more timeless pearl accents, sleek satin finishes, and delicately beaded details. Our newest designs feature new modern shapes of block heels, combined with an elegant range of slingback styles. From pointed-toe sling backs with delicate straps to mid-heel designs that offer both support and sophistication, these timeless silhouettes provide the perfect balance of comfort and style.
10. Can you tell us a memorable story of a bride who wore Forever Soles on her special day?
One of my favourite stories is about a bride who came to try on my shoes before her wedding—back when I was just starting out and had a very professional home office (aka, my living room). She lived nearby and insisted she wouldn’t buy unless she saw the shoes in person, so she popped over. The moment she walked in and saw the shoes, she was hooked, and we hit it off like we’d been friends for years. Honestly, by the time she left, I felt like I needed to be invited to her wedding (after spending a solid 30 minutes together). Fast forward a decade and she’s one of my best friends. Pretty cool that one of my first shoe sales led to a lifetime of friendship—and me always feeling like I missed a wedding invite!
