Cinderella, the most famous princess bride, married her prince wearing sparkling glass wedding shoes. Catherine de Medici, one of the first brides in history to walk down the aisle in high heels, inspired a fashion trend that continues today. Anglo-Saxon brides tossed her bridal shoes rather than bouquets. Queen Victoria inspired millions of modern-day brides by choosing a white gown and white shoes for her wedding in 1840. Princess Diana choose low-heeled, pearl-encrusted, ivory silk flats for her wedding, so as not to tower over Prince Charles.
