My fiance, a man called this shoe beautiful. Gorgeous shoe and surprisingly comfortable. Not much arch support tho. I have high arches and flexible feet, so I need a supportive arch. The "gold" is very light and more like champagne, which is exactly what I wanted. If you want it to be more gold I would try the "gold sparkle" because it looks darker. Also the rhinestones have a holographic or rainbow shine to them, which is fun but perhaps a bit informal for a bridal shoe, depending on your styleSee full review
