Okay, let’s settle this once and for all: there’s no “right” answer to the great bridal shoe debate. Whether you’re team stiletto or team flats, your perfect shoe is out there waiting for you.

But real talk–your shoes are doing a lot of heavy lifting on your wedding day. They’re strutting you down the aisle, keeping you steady during photo sessions, and hopefully letting you dance until last call. So let’s figure out what works for YOU.
What’s Your Venue Vibe?
-
Outdoor/Garden → Block heel moment or chic flats
-
Beach → Sandals or low block heels
-
Ballroom → Classic stiletto heels or high block heels

The main thing is to be honest about your relationship with heels. Do you love them? Do you only wear them for special occasions only? Are they a hard pass? Whichever you are, we have just the style for you.
Let’s Talk Real Comfort vs. Instagram Moment
Here’s the tea: you can totally have both! But knowing what your dealbreakers are will help you narrow things down.
-
Want to make a statement? Think embellished heels, strappy details that’ll look amazing in photos.
-
Prioritizing all-day comfort? Low block heels or gorgeous flats with arch support are your BFF.
-
Can’t decide or want both? Mid-heels with interesting details give you that subtle height!

You Dress is Giving You Hints
What your gown shows matter:
-
Floor-length gown? Most of your shoes will be hidden, so you can focus more on how they feel and maybe add some sparkle at the toe.
-
Shorter dress or high-low hem? Choose a shoe that makes a statement! This is the time to give your shoes a moment to shine.
-
Fitted gowns? Comfort matters more than ever because your shoes will carry most of your movement.

Flats Are Having a Major Moment
Can we just say it louder for the people in the back? Flats are not boring! Today’s bridal flats are serving looks with:
-
Satin finishes that glow beautifully
-
Crystal or pearl details that catch the light and add texture
-
Pointed toes that feel just as elegant as heels
Plus, imagine dancing all night without your feet screaming at you. There’s a reason why our flats are our bestsellers.
