the Melissa | custom bridal heel

the Melissa | custom bridal heel

A custom search for a chic and elevated pair of closed-toe slingback heels for Melissa’s courthouse wedding this October.

The selected heels will complement her classic but not overly traditional tweed miniskirt suit, with an emphasis on refined silhouettes, beautiful texture and a striking touch of color.

Up to 8 custom-curated options are included.

DETAILS

  • US Size: 9.5, regular width
  • Heel Height: Mid to high heel, ideally 3–4 inches
  • Color Palette: Open to white, blue, green, red and other thoughtfully selected colors
  • Style: Closed-toe slingbacks; no mules or ankle straps
  • Embellishments: Open to floral embroidery, textured fabrics and other elevated detailing; simple styles will also be considered
  • Designer Tier: Luxury and high-quality designers, including Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Prada, Vera Wang, Stuart Weitzman and more
  • Wedding Style: Chic, elevated and slightly unexpected for a classic courthouse celebration

PRICING NOTES

The flat fee includes personalized sourcing, the selected heels, minor repairs or modifications when needed and signature gift packaging.

Should Melissa approve an exceptional option that is priced above the original budget, a separate transaction will be created for the agreed-upon additional amount before the heels are purchased.

SOURCING NOTES

  • The first 2-3 curated selections will be presented within one business day of purchase.
  • Up to eight thoughtfully sourced options are included.
  • Sourcing and preparation typically take 2–6 weeks. Your wedding or dress fitting date is honored.

If, after all eight custom-curated options have been presented, Melissa has not found a pair she would like to move forward with, the full value of the order will be issued as store credit. This credit may be applied toward any in-stock piece or a future custom order.

PLEASE NOTE: The vintage market is finite and unpredictable, and finding the right pair means locating a rare combination of size, color, heel height, silhouette, material, and condition. A bit of flexibility and trust in the sourcing and customization process is most appreciated and will help bring your vision to life.

This mink coat is a dream! Ari was so attentive in understanding what I wanted and sourcing the perfect fur for me. It’s full length, a gorgeous dark brown color, and in pristine condition. It came right on time for Valentine’s Day and a snowstorm. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Not only was my custom fur absolutely perfect and fit like a glove, but the entire experience was truly 10/10. The seller was incredibly communicative and genuinely invested in bringing my vision to life. Sourcing and shipping were impressively fast, which meant I could still wear my fur this season — such a win! The packaging was thoughtful and beautifully curated, showing so much care in every detail. This was hands down the best experience I’ve had with a vintage source, and I will absolutely be repurchasing from Charming Cherub.
