Wedding shoes have long been treated as important but secondary to the gown itself, an afterthought tucked beneath layers of tulle, but Birkenstock & Danielle Frankel teamed up to give bridal footwear its own deserving moment in the spotlight. This exclusive capsule, described as "an ode to life's most cherished occasions," reimagines classic Birkenstock silhouettes with precious fabrics and details that pay homage to Danielle Frankel's bridal collections.
The instantly recognizable two-strap Arizona, for example, is upgraded in ivory satin, twisted chiffon embroidered florals and micro pearl edging. Exclusively available to order via Danielle Frankel, this style is hand-embroidered in New York. Another fan-favorite design, Boston, has been reimagined in pearlized leather florals hand-painted in France.
Danielle Frankel's website is the exclusive destination for the limited-edition Birkenstock capsule collection.
