Early on in the wedding planning process, I got the big things out of the way. Dress? Check. Hair and Makeup artist? Check. Hair Extensions? Check. But, as the wedding quickly approached, my attentions turned toward a basic albeit very important part of my bridal outfit: the shoes.
I live in four-inch Louboutins on a day to day basis, but the day of your wedding is not a day that you want to be on your feet for twelve hours in four-inch heels. You need to prioritize comfort, height and also beauty when it comes time for your big day. So, I set about researching, and ordering and sending back lots of pumps for the big day. Read on for our list of the best wedding shoes for brides!
So, the pair I ended up buying for my April wedding were these Badgley Mischka Harris Peep Toe pumps. I loved them for a number of reasons. Firstly, they have a very manageable three-inch heel, so I will have some height and lengthening (which also makes you look thinner) without being uncomfortable on my feet all day or having trouble walking. Also, they are super, super comfortable. After trying them on I realized why so many women decide to wear Badgley for their wedding days. Their padding is unbelievable. LAstly, they are beautiful. They are covered in crystal and have some bling, but aren’t too “bridal” meaning I can wear them out again to other formal events or even with skinny jeans. They were only $119, which is a price I could stomach for wedding shoes.
Another pair I really loved were Badgley Mischka’s Maria Embellished d’Orsay Pumps, $90. The toe of these pumps is embellished with lots of different shaped and sized crystals and the heel is satin. It also has a reasonable heel height of around three inches.
We love the idea of using your shoes to satisfy your “something blue” quota. These ones are just $109!
On your wedding day, we are big advocates of wearing as much lace as you please, including on your feet. That’s why we love these super dainty pumps from Manolo Blahnik,
For the bride looking to make a major fashion statement during her walk down the aisle, these Louboutins are just the shoe. They have the famous red sole and a beautiful white satin bow sure to turn heads. They are $995.
