Stunning Wedding Shoes to Finish Off Your Look

You have found the perfect dress. Your veil and headpiece look stunning, and you can just imagine how wonderful the flowers from your bouquet will smell when the big day arrives. But if you want to be Cinderella on your wedding day, you have to find the perfect pair of shoes to walk down the aisle in. Glass slippers aren't the answer, but there are some stunning styles available that will finish off your look for this fairy tale occasion.

Wedding shoes come in all styles and heel heights. What you choose should complement your dress and the season you are getting married in. Sandals and pumps are the most popular styles of wedding shoes, but slippers and flip flops also have their place as an end of reception reprieve from this all day stiletto affair.

Sandals

 

On the sandal end of the spectrum, there are plenty of great choices available in a wide range of heel heights. For a taller heel, the Daphne is a glamorous dyeable satin sling-back sandal. It features an asymmetrical front strap that is encrusted with crystals to match the crystal bow on the front face. The Daphne's heel is 3 ¾ inches with ¼ inch platform.

 

For a less traditional sandal, the rhinestone encrusted Rainfall is a strappy high heel number that sparkles in metallic silver. Strands of rhinestones cascade from the ankle strap down to the front strap adding glitz in all the right places. The heel on the Rainfall is 3 inches.

 

Women who want a sandal with a mid-height heel will love the stylish and comfortable Snowflake. With three clear crystal flowers embellishing the front face of the shoe, the Snowflake sparkles in white or ivory satin. This sandal has a quarter strap to secure your foot and a modest 2 ½ inch heel.

 

Brides that want an even lower heeled sandal that still has flair should check out the Andie satin sandal by Coloriffics. The Andie has a rhinestone embellished pleated criss-cross vamp and a quarter strap with an adjustable buckle closure. The heel measures 1 inch.

Pumps

If pumps suit your wedding dress and season better than sandals, there are some great styles available in classic and contemporary styles.

For the wild child bride, the Fifi is a metallic leopard print peep toe platform high heel that will add flair to even the most traditional gown. This pump has a metallic brocade leopard print fabric that shines with a touch of silver. The Fifi has a 4 inch heel and a 1 inch platform.

A more feminine pump option is the Lolita ankle strap peep toe d'Orsay heel. This satin shoe is a mix of sweet and sexy, with a playful little ruffle on the back of the shoe and cut out sides for a peek at the arch of the foot. The heel measures 3.5 inches. The Lolita is available in black or ivory.

Brides leaning towards a more conservative shoe will love theShellie dyeable peep-toe pump. With cut out sides and a scalloped front, the Shellie is a perfect blend of classic style and comfort in a 2 ¾ inch mid heel shoe.

Even lower on the heel spectrum is the Paige. This dyeable peep-toe pump features a sparkling rhinestone ornament over the toe and a 1 ¾ inch heel. The Paige is also available in wide sizes.

Thongs and Slippers

Brides who want a very low heeled wedding shoe or a comfortable flat to change into during the reception have some thong, slipper and flip flop styles to rescue tired toes.

For casual outdoor weddings, the Kyra is a dyeable satin low wedge thong that fits the bill perfectly. Tiny beads and crystals decorate the strap across the toes on this simple, sleek shoe. The heel on the Kyra measures 1 ½ inches.

If changing from heels to a slipper or flip flop mid-reception is a foregone conclusion, the Isabelle and the Hilary are great comfortable choices to rest and reward your weary feet. The Isabelle is a flat satin slipper that is embellished with bows and pearls. It is available in sizes small to extra large.

 

For flip flop aficionados, the Hilary has jewel-encrusted straps, a cushioned sole and a 1 ½ inch wedge heel. It is available in white or ivory.

 

The Choice is Yours

 

From funky and modern to classically dainty, there are many styles of wedding shoes available to match your dress and your personality. You can jazz up a traditional dress with metallic leopard print pumps, or you can keep it simple with a sleek rhinestone embellished sandal. The choice is yours, because as belle of the ball, all that matters is that the shoes are stunning enough to finish off your look.

Coach bag and shoes=tacky together?

I have a coach CC bag with silver trim and just bought some Coach wedges with CC on the wedge and silver thong...would it be tacky to wear these together? they are not fakes but I don't want to look like I'm "trying too hard"?

It might be a bit much... If you're getting dressed up it might be okay but for a casual outfit it might look tacky.
