From flats and mules to statement stilettos.
Stylish wedding shoes should be part of the equation when deciding on all the key looks making up your wedding wardrobe — from the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner to your walk down the aisle, after-party, and post-nuptial brunch.
Of course, comfortable bridal footwear is a priority, but style is equally important; wearing a long gown is no excuse for shoes that don’t feel special. Another reason not to wait to shoe shop? You’ll need your chosen pair in time for your first wedding dress fitting to ensure an appropriate hem length.
Whether you’re shopping for fanciful heels, lovely flats, beach wedding shoes, or something blue, all of the bridal shoes you choose should be styles you’ll wear again and again. Ahead, find our 20 top bridal picks for every wedding-worthy shoe style, from the classics to the statement-makers.
For the trendy razzle-dazzle bride, Mach & Mach heels are a must.
