5 Essential Criteria for Choosing Your Wedding Shoes Without Regret
Style, comfort and personality
Everyone talks about the dress. The flowers. The venue. But the shoes? They're the ones that will carry you through the entire day… and night. Choosing your wedding shoes isn't just about style. It's a subtle balance between aesthetics, comfort and coherence with your vision.
The heel: sublime… but strategic
Stilettos, block heels, kitten heels, strappy sandals… the choices are endless.
- A stiletto heel elongates the silhouette and gives an ultra sophisticated look.
- A block heel offers more stability, ideal for outdoor or garden weddings.
- Low heels are perfect for those who want height without compromising on comfort.
The real question to ask yourself: can I walk, stand and dance in these?
Flats, ballet pumps and sandals: chic in another way
No, flat shoes are not 'less bridal'. Quite the contrary.
Satin ballet pumps, delicate sandals, minimalist mules… They give a soft, modern look, sometimes even very couture.
For a seaside or garden wedding, they can be the most elegant choice.
Sneakers and personalised shoes: the bold touch
More and more brides are choosing white or personalised trainers for the evening.
Absolute comfort, fun spirit, and incredible photos on the dance floor.
It's also a way of expressing your personality. A modern, free bride who owns her style.
Colour: dare or stay timeless?
White, ivory, nude… remain safe choices.
But why not dare a sky blue, gold, silver or even burgundy pair?
Some brides choose a colour linked to their theme or bouquet. Others slip in a discreet 'something blue'.
The shoe then becomes a signature detail.
Comfort: the golden rule
Here is our wedding planner advice:
Test your shoes. Walk in them. Break them in.
Add insoles if necessary. Plan a second pair for the evening.
The most beautiful wedding is one where the bride is relaxed and happy, not one where she suffers in silence.
In summary
Your shoes should reflect who you are. Romantic, modern, minimalist, bold… they tell part of your story too.
- ✔Choose the heel type based on the terrain and duration
- ✔Flat shoes are just as elegant — and sometimes more beautiful
- ✔Dare a signature colour for a memorable detail
- ✔Test your shoes well before the big day
- ✔Plan a second pair for the evening dancing
Because beyond the photos and the style, they are the ones that will walk you down the aisle… and onto the dance floor.
