    Learn More About Women's Wedding Shoes

    After you’ve found your dream wedding dress, it’s time to find the shoes that you’ll wear as you walk down the aisle. Shops on Etsy sell all styles of wedding shoes for this special occasion. Whether you want ultra-high heels or a pair of flats that are easy to walk in, one of the most important things in choosing wedding shoes is that they complement your bridal gown.


    Your shoes most definitely don’t have to match your dress perfectly, but there are a few ways to ensure they complement, rather than distract from, your look.


    • Match the details on your dress. If your dress is embellished with pearls, try a pair of women’s wedding shoes accented with the same gems.
    • Keep your hemline in mind. A shorter dress allows your wedding shoes to really shine, so opt for a pair with a pop of color or an eye-catching detail like a bow or flower.
    • Comfort is key. Above all, you’ll want to ensure your wedding shoes are comfortable for a long day of standing, dancing, and celebrating. Opt for a wide heel to make navigating uneven ground easier or skip tradition and choose lace wedding tennis shoes instead!

    The right pair of wedding shoes makes you feel beautiful on your big day. Feel free to change things up at the reception with some women’s flat dress shoes for after the wedding, or rock a pair of embellished sneakers or sandals for post-nuptial dancing shoes that are as comfy and cute as possible.


    Here are some features to consider as you search for the perfect pair:


    • Fit: Your wedding footwear should fit comfortably without being too loose or too tight. Make sure they’re snug in all the right places including the heel and toe areas, so they stay put without cramping your feet, and consider gently breaking them in by wearing them around the house before the big day.
    • Heel height: Go big and bold with a pair of tall stilettos or opt for a pair of low heel women’s wedding shoes if you need more support without sacrificing a glamorous bridal look.
    • Color: You’re not limited to just wearing women’s white wedding shoes. Spice things up with some sequin or rhinestone-covered footwear or try shoes in a bold, luscious jewel tone for a fun touch. Looking for your something blue? Wear a pair of blue satin flats or try heels accented in brilliant blue gemstones.
    • Material: Satin wedding shoes are timeless. Or consider luxurious velvet or supple leather shoes.
    • Style: Are you planning a formal wedding, or are you aiming for a more casual, laid-back moment? Select a pair of shoes that fit the overall style of the wedding itself along with your dress for a match made in heaven.
    • Theme and venue: Choose wedding shoes that work with your chosen theme and venue, such as comfy open-toe sandals for a beach wedding or a pair of white lace-up boots for a rustic outdoor ceremony in the woods.
