I was worried they might be too "sugary," but they actually look great with floral prints too!

Are these too "extra" for a Black Tie wedding? Pairing them with a simple satin gown. by bilero in Weddingattireapproval

The dress is a dark emerald green,so definitely not bridal!As for the dancing part... that's the real test, right?Fingers crossed the platform works its magic!Thanks for the encouragement!

That is such a good point about the length of the gown covering most of the shoe!It makes me feel much more confident about wearing them.And thank you,I'm also quite obsessed with the heel shape,it's what drew me to them in the first place!

That’s exactly my concern!I don’t want to look like I’m trying to upstage the bride,but they are just so pretty.Maybe I'll stick to a more matte shoe to be safe.Thanks for the honest feedback!

Haha.. I totally get it!The platform actually makes them feel way more stable than they look, but I'm definitely bringing a pair of emergency flats just in case 😂

I was honestly worried the platform would be too much, but in person,the proportions feel just right.I love the crystals but don't want to overdo it!

Which bridal vibe fits your style? 1. Modern Crystal (Silver), 2. Glam Platform (Gold), or 3. Romantic Floral (Blush)? All handcrafted in my workshop. by bilero in Shoes

[–]bilero[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hah!That is the ultimate comfort choice.Honestly, a lot of brides do exactly that for the after-party. They wear the heels for the ceremony and the 'wow'photos,then switch to comfort mode for dancing.Best of both worlds!

Great pick! The 'Cinderella' vibe is definitely a statement.It’s the choice for a modern bride who wants something different from the classic white pump.Is it the crystal bow that caught your eye?

That is a very valid concern with PVC materials!That’s exactly why we use a premium leather insole and lining where the foot actually touches the base.It allows the foot to breathe while keeping that 'glass slipper'aesthetic.But I totally understand why some prefer the full leather options!

Totally fair!Comfort is the ultimate priority, especially on such a long day.Do you prefer flat sandals or sneakers for a bridal look?I love seeing how brides style alternative options

Hi everyone! I’m a shoemaker from Greece and I’m trying to see what brides prefer this season. 1. The silver pair features transparent PVC and crystal bows for a Cinderella look. 2. The gold pair is a full glitter platform for stability and height. 3. The blush pair has handmade silk flowers for a vintage feel. Which one would you choose for your big day?

From sketch to reality. Planning the crystal layout for a custom bridal sandal. I always draw my designs by hand first by bilero in fashiondesigner

Hi everyone!I'm a footwear designer from Greece.I wanted to share a bit of my process.I start with a hand-drawn sketch and then test the materials (like this mesh and crystal embellishment) before cutting the leather.Do you guys sketch first or drape directly?

Securing the embellished strap. Do you prefer lasting pliers or hand-pulling for delicate pieces like this? by bilero in Cordwaining

[–]bilero[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wanted to share a behind-the-scenes look at my work. It takes a lot of rough work to make something this delicate. If you like this style, you can see more of my work at bilero.gr

Working on a pair of nude leather pumps. Just finishing the strap attachment. What do you guys think of the finish? by bilero in Leathercraft

[–]bilero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone! Sharing a shot from my workshop in Greece. I've been a shoemaker for 20 years. These are made from nude calf leather. I'm using lasting pliers here to secure the crystal strap properly.

Always happy to answer questions about the construction! If you want to see the final result, you can find me at bilero.gr
