Bella Belle Shoes

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Bella Belle Shoes is an American luxury bridal footwear brand headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Founded in 2016, the company specializes in handcrafted wedding and evening shoes known for combining high-fashion aesthetics with a focus on ergonomics and comfort.[1][2] The brand is known for its "12-hour shoe" philosophy, designed to provide comfort throughout the duration of a wedding day.[3]

History

Bella Belle Shoes was established by high school best friends Erina Ardianto and Veronyca Kwan. Ardianto, who holds a background in architecture, serves as the company's Creative Director, while Kwan, with a formal education in business, manages the brand's operations.[4][5][6][7]

The brand was born out of the founders' observation that wedding shoes often prioritized either style or comfort, rarely both.[8][9][10][11]

The company was selected to participate in The Workshop at Macy’s, an exclusive retail accelerator program for minority- and women-owned businesses.[12]

Bella Belle has also organized pop-up stores in New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, London, Toronto, Tokyo and Milan.[13]

Philanthropy

The company actively supports women's empowerment initiatives. It maintains a long-standing partnership with Brides for a Cause, a non-profit organization that provides services and assistance to women in need.[14]

Selected collaborations and collections

The brand’s seasonal collections often follow specific thematic narratives.[15][16][17] The 2020 "Poetry of Love" collection drew inspiration from the works of historical female poets, with individual styles named after figures such as Sylvia Plath and Emily Dickinson.[18][19][20][21]

The Bella Belle USA Daisy Blue Flats were ranked number 15 for the 22 Best Wedding Shoes for 2025 by Elle UK.[22] The Bella Belle Crystal Bridal Kitten Heels in Ivory were ranked number 1 for The Most Comfortable Wedding Shoes You Can Dance in All Night by Oprah Daily in 2024.[23] The Bella Belle Chelsea Ivory Block Heel Wedding Shoes were ranked at Number 5, and the Bella Belle Catarina Platform Jacquard Blue Floral Sandals With Ankle Straps were ranked at Number 11 in the list of 22 Block Heel Wedding Shoes You'll Actually Want to Wear All Day by The Knot.[24]

The brand frequently collaborates with designers and wedding industry figures. Notable partnerships include:

  • Claire Pettibone: A capsule collection featuring French embroidery and nature-inspired motifs such as butterflies and floral vines.[25][26]
  • Liv Hart: A capsule collection of heels featuring interchangeable silk ankle straps. The design allowed for customization through various strap options, including plain silk, Swarovski-embellished floral crystals, and silk bows.[27][28][29][30]
  • Joy Proctor: A collaboration with the international wedding planner that began with the "Enchanted" series.[25] Subsequent releases, such as the 2018 "Euphoria" collection, introduced neutral linen bases and floral embroidery into the brand’s silhouettes.[31][32][33]
  • Milla Nova: A 2022 charity collaboration with the Ukrainian brand to raise funds for families affected by the Russo-Ukrainian War.[34]
