I Wore the Wrong Wedding Shoes — So I Designed the Right Ones

I Wore the Wrong Wedding Shoes — So I Designed the Right Ones

A note from our founder, Jenn

When I got married, I danced to Somewhere Only We Know. It was emotional, romantic, the kind of moment you hope stays with you forever.

And it did — but so did the shoes.

I wore painfully uncomfortable heels for photos. Then I changed into a pair of ugly dance shoes that totally clashed with my dress. They peeked out every time I moved. Every time I see a photo of them, I wince a little.

That was 2016; that moment planted a seed. 8 years later, it grew into LunaSol — a line of wedding dance shoes designed to be both beautiful and functional. Shoes that look good in photos and let you actually enjoy your first dance.


👠 Why I Created LunaSol

I’ve been dancing for almost a decade now, and I’ve had the privilege of training with @katya_kamnieva and @sasha_kamniev — two incredible ballroom teachers who have been endlessly patient with me. They’re the ones who introduced me to the world of ballroom dance and helped me fall in love with movement, grace, and the confidence that comes with it.

So when I got to watch them perform a full routine to Somewhere Only We Know — the same song from my wedding — I got teary-eyed before the first turn.

Katya danced the whole routine in our Blue Ballroom Shoe, and suddenly all the hard work I had put into launching LunaSol came to life. The shoe is elegant enough for the aisle, secure enough for turns, and comfortable enough to wear all night. It’s everything I wish I had on my wedding day.


💡 What Makes LunaSol Shoes Different?

LunaSol shoes are built like real dance shoes — because they are. But we reimagined them for the wedding world. That means:

  • Flexible soles for better movement and toe point (because pointing your toes looks 100000% better when you dance)

  • Secure straps so your shoes don’t fall off mid-spin

  • Dense memory foam for comfort that lasts all night

  • Street or suede sole options depending on your dance floor (or no dance floor at all)

Every shoe is handmade in Portugal using beautiful, premium materials. They’re dance shoes, yes — but they’re also designed to look good in aisle photos.


✨ The Blue Ballroom Shoe

The one Katya wore in the video is our Blue Ballroom Shoe — a soft pearlescent blue with a supportive heel cup, quick-release buckle, and just enough shimmer to catch the light.

It’s perfect for your something blue.
And even better for your first spin as a married couple.


Thanks for being here and reading this. I started LunaSol to help brides feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable on their wedding day. If you’re planning a first dance, or even thinking about one, I hope these shoes help you feel like the main character — because you are!
