When it comes to the world of wedding planning, the journey is truly unforgettable. As you meticulously handpick every detail of your special day, from dresses to jewellery, it is imperative to make choices that best embody your style. Amidst fabrics galore and delicate embellishments, no stone should be left unturned as you craft your perfect wedding day. Once you’ve nailed down every accessory you need to complement your dream wedding dress, do not forget this final, grounding detail: your footwear.
You heard it right: wedding shoes are just as crucial as the million other wardrobe considerations running through your mind on your big day. In the midst of the wedding planning frenzy, it might be easy to overlook the one thing you’re going to spend hours on end standing, strutting, and dancing in.
Traditionally, high heels are the go-to choice of wedding footwear. But as bridalwear continues to loosen its ties to tradition, comfortable options for wedding shoes are increasingly par for the course. If walkability is a key priority for you, look to pearl-embellished or embroidered low heels that promise elegance. Meanwhile, let festivity be your guide for adventurers-at-heart—feathers, diamond-encrusted, and sculptural heels are at your service. Or if you’re a sentimental soul looking to hand down your wedding shoes as a sartorial heirloom, consider more timeless styles that work with any silhouette. And of course, metallic, barely-there strappies are a classic for a reason.
With so many possible styles, it can be understandably difficult to pick out the shoe for you. If you are feeling overwhelmed, fret not. We have narrowed down the selection to a concise line-up of shoes to potentially add to your elegant wedding look.
