49 Best Wedding Shoes to Wow in 2023
Stylish wedding shoes should be part of the equation when deciding on all the key looks making up your wedding wardrobe—from the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner to your walk down the aisle, after-party, and post-nuptial brunch. Of course, comfortable bridal footwear is a priority, but style is equally important; wearing a long gown is no excuse for shoes that don't feel special. Another reason not to wait to shoe shop? You'll need your chosen pair in time for your first wedding dress fitting to ensure an appropriate hem length.
Whether you're shopping for fanciful heels, lovely flats, beach wedding shoes, or something blue, all (if not most) of the bridal shoes you choose should be styles you'll wear again and again. Keep versatility and longevity in mind: Timeless pumps, strappy sandals, and metallic heels will go the distance for future events and outfits of all kinds. Below, find our 49 Best Wedding Shoes for every wedding-worthy shoe style, from the classics to the statement-makers.
