Wedding shoes are the last piece of your bridal ensemble, and while classic ivory pumps are elegant and timeless, they aren’t the best option for all types of brides. The simplest approach to make a statement ensemble that you may wear again is to use non-traditional shoes if you want to switch up your style with your bridal accessories.
For brides-to-be who are thinking about wearing non-traditional accessories for the ceremony, reception, or both, we’ve broken down five shoe alternatives to consider, from wedding crocs to cowboy boots and Birkenstocks. The world truly is your oyster when it comes to dressing for your big day. To select the look that most closely matches your wedding and aesthetic preferences, continue reading below.
Bridal booties and Western boots
Wear a pair of cowboy boots as an accessory for a wedding with a rustic or Western theme. Even the most contemporary brides can use this option, despite the fact that it has long been a favorite among Southern brides. Cowboy boots are wonderful because they are currently so in trend; there is no shortage of raised boots from labels like KHAITE, according to Bingham. I’d lean toward something in between an old western and a contemporary Cottagecore aesthetic if you want the more traditional cowboy boot vibe. In addition, unless you’ve decided on a tea-length dress, which calls for a shorter ankle boot, she advises wearing a long cowboy boot, mid-calf or higher.
Bridal Crocs
There’s no need to change your look for your wedding if Crocs are your go-to footwear (we’re serious!). This accessory can be customized to match your gown and wedding aesthetics in addition to being cozy and reasonably priced. For a look that is “a cool mix of edgy and understated,” Bingham suggests the Classic Platform Chain Clog for modern brides, which is available in cream with a chain design. Looking for a more conventional appearance? The company also sells multi-strap and wedge sandals, which are ideal for semi-formal events held outdoors in a vineyard or garden.
Bridal Sneakers
The most popular and perhaps most comfortable pair of shoes to wear on your wedding day are sneakers. This kind of accessory can satisfy all fashion preferences, regardless of whether you favor sneakers in everyday life or just want shoes you can wear all day. Choose a plain white or neutral sneaker if you’re a minimalist. We suggest a shoe with embellishments, such as silver glitter elements or tulle laces, for elegant brides who enjoy striking styles.
Flip-Flops
Due to its light weight and open toe style, flip-flops are the ideal footwear for spring or summer weddings. Even while this look can lean toward the more casual, it is appropriate for beachside gatherings and weddings in tropical locations that have a laid-back and informal atmosphere.
