The right pair of bridal shoes can do as much as the dress — maybe more, especially if your hem hits the knee, your skirt is tea-length, or you’re the kind of bride who actually dances. White and ivory lead the way, but there’s lemon satin, blush pleats, and a lime green pair for brides who aren’t playing it safe.
This edit spans ballet flats, mules, slingbacks, kitten heels, strappy sandals, and platform heels, with prices running from under $100 to just over $1,000. Most shoes are available in more colorways than what’s shown here, so click through before you write anything off.
The white, ivory, champagne, metallic options are strong. So is the argument for going further. Color, embellishment, something no one saw coming: the anti-bride has never had this much to work with. We won’t pretend the flats and kitten heels aren’t the more forgiving option for a long day on your feet. But comfort is personal, and so is style. Choose with your heart.
