Find the Best Wedding Shoes for You

With this bling, I thee wed! Whether your bridal mood board says ‘more is more’ or you want to spruce up a pared-back gown, this special day calls for adornments aplenty. Pearls, bows, lace and crystal trimmings all rise to the occasion – after all, it’s not every day you get to be the centre of attention. Styles like Jimmy Choo’s Ottilia sandals and Malone Souliers’ Bella mules are all made specially with brides in mind.

Point-toe courts, elegant slingbacks and strappy sandals are all befitting of a classic bride. Free of decoration, simple silhouettes like Amina Muaddi’s Holli pumps or Jimmy Choo’s Anise heels are archetypal choices, sophisticated with any bridal ensemble – perfect if you’re planning an outfit change (or two).

It’s important you feel comfortably yourself on the day, so if heels aren’t your thing, stick to what you know. Flats are big news right now, so you won’t find yourself short of options – classics like Malone Souliers’ lace Maureen mules and Roger Vivier’s patent Très Vivier Mary-Janes feel just as elevated as heels, without the actual height.

If it’s future milage you’re looking for in your bridal shoes, you might want to stay clear of pure-white pairs, tricky satin finishes and all those extra trimmings. Find alternatives in metallic finishes like The Attico’s Devon mules or Loewe’s all-over crystal pumps, both of which will find infinite uses at future events. If it’s everyday wear you’re prioritising, look for low-key silhouettes to dress up or down like pairs by Alaïa and Le Monde Beryl, whose trending flats look as chic with jeans as they would on your wedding day.

A marriage of tradition and modernity, blue shoes to the tune of René Caovilla and more will raise no objections from us. Crossing off your ‘something blue’ from the famous rhyme, this fun, fashion-forward statement will stand you apart from other brides. If it was good enough for Carrie Bradshaw, it’s good enough for us.
