16 Best Wedding Shoes for Every Kind of Bride

For the bride who loves an over-the-top accessory, consider these ornate 17th-century-inspired mules that are truly a work of art. Made of delicate satin, the lavish ruffled shoes are romantic but bold.

It’s hard to find a bride who hasn’t worn these famed Loeffler Randall sandals. Not only are the shoes beautifully made of pleated organza while featuring a delicate bow detail, they’re extremely comfortable. Let’s face it, wedding shoes don’t have the best rep for comfort. With the shoe’s block heel and padded footbed, you can literally dance the night away without realizing you’ve got on nearly four-inch heels.

If you like the idea of a custom shoe, look no further than this exclusive design by Larroudé and womenswear label Markarian. The bridal collaboration combines the romantic modernism of Markarian’s aesthetic with the craftsmanship of Larroudé footwear for a one-of-a-kind shoe that is designed for every kind of bride. Made of crisp white satin, the made-to-order sandals look delicate but are both durable and comfortable.

There’s no rule that says you have to wear heels on your wedding day. If you love the comfort of flats but want a bit of height, consider these Sam Edelman best sellers. A favorite style of Kylie Jenner (she’s the new face of Sam Edelman), these versatile shoes can be worn with any or all of your bridal-occasion outfits and also double as a great staple for your everyday wardrobe. It’s not too often that you can pair wedding shoes with jeans.

These sparkling kitten heels can easily elevate any bridal fit, whether you’re hitting the dance floor or posing for photos. And the best part? The beautiful blush shoe is a versatile investment piece that can be worn year-round outside of wedding festivities.

Ever since the day Carrie Bradshaw married Mr. Big in her royal-blue Hangisi Manolo Blahniks, brides everywhere were inspired to pair the iconic shoe with their wedding looks as their “something blue.” So whether you’re looking to channel your inner Carrie or need an excuse to buy some new Manolos, you’re sure to make a statement in these timeless embellished pumps.

Nothing says classy like a bridal-white Manolo mary jane pump. The Campari bridal shoe is made from lustrous satin with a slim grosgrain-trimmed strap at the arch and a pointed toe. The slip-on also features a delicate side-button illusion-fastener detail and an elegant fluted heel. This is an ideal option for brides who love simple elegance and vintage nostalgia.

There’s nothing we love more than a block heel. These ruffled heels are a feminine yet fun option that can be easily paired with all your wedding fits. Made of leather and accented with a fluffy ruffle detailing, these stylish sandals were made for all kinds of wedding fun.

While the brand’s ankle-wrap pumps happen to be the more popular style, for a more subdued sparkle, perfect for a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or courthouse wedding event, try these traditional pointed-toe pumps that feature the signature Mach & Mach glittering double-bow embellishment.

Sophie Richie Grainge was the bride everyone wanted to be when her opulent French Riviera wedding at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc broke the internet last year. Now, the mom-to-be has channeled her summer bridal aesthetic into her recent collaboration with Stuart Weitzman, where you’ll find modern, elegant staples like these Sofia slingbacks. The romantic yet practical shoe features a dainty side-bow detail and a comfortable kitten heel.

If you’re a bride who’s all about the party and plans on having a disco-ball-clad dance floor at your reception (like myself), then it only makes sense to have disco balls on your shoes, too. Say “yes” to these crystal-embellished Aquazzura mules with a unique disco-ball heel design. The four-inch satin mules are simple enough but perfectly balanced with the glittering disco-ball detail.

If you’re looking to make a grand entrance, might I suggest these ornate crystal-embellished shoes by Nalebe. The sustainable shoe brand is known for flashy footwear that puts comfort first. Made of silk with a lambskin lining, the cylinder-style heels are sturdy and easy to walk in. Not about the height? No problem. They also come in a shorter two-inch-heel version.

For the bride who plans on being garbed in a lace gown or is a fan of lace appliqués, these Malone Souliers slingback heels are crafted out of fine lace and stay true to Souliers’ signature pointed-toe design with a single leather band over the toe line of the shoe and a corresponding slingback strap. The Marion stiletto may not be your top choice for dancing, but for fashion, it’s everything.

For the bride who doesn’t want to sacrifice height but is still looking for comfort, these wedges are an edgy alternative to the classic pump. The futuristic-style shoe features a sleek patent pointed toe and wavy design that is a fun option for the fashion-forward bride who loves nontraditional styles.

You can rely on these dainty Staud mules to match your white ensembles. But, if you want to go a bit more formal, the shoe also comes in silk satin.

If all white (and blue) just doesn’t do it for you, dare to be different with the Charles & Keith Flor Rose pumps. The white slingback shoe features a unique Loewe-esque red-flower heel detail that will complement your bold red lip.
