20 Best Designer Bridal Shoes for Stylish Brides

So, you’ve found your one-of-a-kind dream wedding dress. Now it’s time to get the perfect shoes to match. Of course, picking out the ideal pair can be a challenging task as there are a lot of factors to consider. From your personal style through to the theme of your wedding, every detail about your special day can influence your footwear choice. Whether you’re wearing a short wedding dress and need some killer kicks to complete your outfit or you are rocking a long gown and require a pair that will peak out from underneath with pride, your favorite designer labels have you covered.

 

Designer Bridal Shoes

For the classic bride who favors a traditional wedding, there are plenty of gorgeous heeled styles that will undoubtedly match your glamorous gown. If you plan on staying in your footwear all day, however, you may wish to invest in a lower pair. Heeled sandals make another excellent option and suit cocktail weddings to a tee. Outdoor weddings, on the other hand, will require flat sandals and if you’re a boho bride who’s spending her big day at the beach, you can even consider flip flops. Then, all that’s left to choose is the color and design. Whether you’re after classic white or ivory, understated nude, glamorous gold or silver, or even something blue, there are plenty of great options for you.

 

Wedding Heels

Heels are the traditional and timeless choice of footwear for brides. Thanks to their classic appearance, feminine appeal, and ability to add height, these shoes are a favorite amongst brides on their big days. While pumps are always an excellent choice, there are other styles to consider as well. If you want your shoes to grab attention as you sashay down the aisle and around the dance floor, try a non-traditional pair, such as heeled mules or booties. These surprising shoes are sure to catch the eyes of your guests in the best of ways. Don’t forget to pay attention to the material the shoes are made of. While satin is always a lovely choice, you should also consider other options, such as lace, leather, and patent leather.

Low Heel Wedding Shoes

Low heels are another traditional shoe choice for brides. While they may not be quite as glamorous or decadent as high heels, they are still utterly chic and classic. On top of that, low heels provide the extra height and elegance that many brides crave without sacrificing too much practicality. As such, these shoes make an ideal choice for brides who plan to wear the same pair of shoes from the ceremony to the reception and even onto the dance floor later. As well as being more comfortable than their taller counterparts, low heels can also be incredibly stylish. The smart style of footwear has seen a tremendous resurgence of late with many new gorgeous designs on offer from some of the world’s top designers.

Wedding Flats

Being a bride doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re restricted to wearing heels. Many ladies have worn flats on their wedding day and loved the choice. If your feet quickly feel uncomfortable when wearing heels, consider flats instead. A great alternative, flats will keep your feet fresh all day long so that you can thoroughly enjoy yourself. Additionally, if your wedding will be outdoors, flat shoes may be the best choice. You don’t want to sink into the grass or slip over on any uneven ground after all. To ensure that your flats appear more elegant than understated and appropriate for the day, choose a pair with a luxurious design. Flats with embellishments or applique can make a superb choice and add the glamorous touch that your bridal look requires. Likewise, metallics, such as silver or gold, can also make an excellent option.

Wedding Sandals for the Bride

If you want to show off that pre-wedding pedicure, why not choose to wear a pair of sandals on your big day? Sandals can be a lovely bridal choice and have a chic appeal. Along with showing off your toes, these open shoes are also great for lengthening the appearance of your legs and keeping your feet cool on warm days. On top of that, sandals also have a slim aesthetic, making them a great alternative to bulky or chunky pumps, platforms, and more. When selecting a pair, start by finding the perfect height for your dress and day. While long gowns and traditional or cocktail weddings will suit heeled sandals best, shorter dresses and more relaxed ceremonies will work well with a small heel or flat style. Alternatively, wedges can make a great option for the bride who enjoys the height of heels without the pain.

Wedding Flip Flops

Although flip flops aren’t a traditional choice of footwear for brides, they can make a good option under the right circumstances. Most importantly, your wedding must be in the right style and setting to suit these casual shoes. You can’t expect to have a formal wedding with all the bells and whistles and wear flip-flops. No matter how stylish your shoes are, the combination just won’t work. If you’re having a casual beach wedding, on the other hand, flip-flops can be an excellent choice for both practical and aesthetic reasons. That being said, no matter what your big day is like, if you’re not the type of bride who is easy-going and carefree, flip-flops probably aren’t for you.
