Anyone who’s ever gotten married will be quick to tell you the hunt for bridal shoes is not an easy one. Type “bridal shoes” into anything and you’ll likely end up with a selection of styles that you would never dream of wearing normally – let alone on one of the biggest (and most fashionably planned) days of your life! Clunky toes, clunky heels, shocking 80’s style ornamentation… And to make matters worse this is all happening in bright shiny WHITE no less – eek!

I don’t know why brands make wedding shoes this way, however when you look at the prices of coveted brands such as Giuseppe Zanotti, Jimmy Choo, Vera Wang and other high end designers ($1500 for wedding shoes anyone?) it’s obvious why people resort to buying them. It’s enough to put you off getting married. Well, almost.
To assist all the soon-to-be-brides out there, we’ve scoured the web and put together a selection of wedding day-appropriate shoes that you may actually like (and several of the options are completely wearable after the big day passes too) Lets face it, you don’t want to spend a fortune on a shoe you’ll wear ONCE, right?

oh wow, beautiful. I would go with white or cream over silver though
Some gorgeous styles. Unfortunately I wore kitten heels when I wanted strappy stilettos but I didn’t want to tower over hubby to be.
Always worth considering the height of your husband @skbou 😉
i will take louboutin anyday
Agree with you @Crystal… and these ones are spectacular!
Gorgeous
gorgeous!
Wow, I am tempted to get married again!
why would you pay so much for a shoe when your dress may cover it
The Nine West for $139.95 I think is a good price.
$1500 is crazy for a pair of shoes!
Gorgeous shoes
I see some
Affordable options
Since we were getting married outside, I avoided high spiky heels, so I didn’t sink.
I wore super sparkly silver high heeled sandals. My dream shoes!
These all look lovely but how would your feet be feeling at the end of the day? I’d rather be comfortable thanks!
