It can really be taxing on brides to endure hours of rituals on their wedding day while wearing heavy, weighty dresses and three-inch pumps. For those who don’t mind killing what kills their feet, readymade bridal sneakers by The Saree Sneakers are a cool option instead. Its zardosi and chikankari-patterned work makes it a popular choice among Indian brides who also adore sneakers.
Our pick: The colour of this season, rani pink, reflects on these non-leather shoes. The pearls sewn on them give them a simple yet royal bridal look.
