Of course, any bride tries to choose the most beautiful and fashionable shoes that will match the style of the outfit and the whole look. But do not forget about such a factor as convenience. Your wedding shoes should be comfortable, because you need to walk in them for at least half a day, and if you are planning a large and magnificent celebration, with all the customs, many guests, a walking photo shoot and a banquet, then not at all all day - from morning until late evening. It is also worth considering the weather conditions, style and color of your holiday.
What models are there and how to choose the right one, this is what will be discussed in this article.
Shoes can be divided into three large groups: summer (shoes, sandals, ballet flats); winter (boots, boots, ugg boots); demi-season (ankle boots). Any of them will be perfect for your wedding day.
Summer options for a wedding
There are a lot of things that a girl can wear in the summer, each model is good in its own way and looks great. Let's look at them in more detail.
Shoes

The most common type of summer shoes, which is presented in modern wedding salons in various styles for every taste - with an open toe, pumps, on a high platform, stilettos, wedges, thick heels, straps, with stones, rhinestones, satin ribbons, with the addition of lace, etc. d.
Sandals

The second option is sandals. Although there is a sign that says that if you choose such a model, your family will be disadvantaged, but, despite it, brides quite often choose open shoes and do not believe in any superstitions. This look, like the previous one, is also very diverse, and sandals are also perfect for a themed wedding - rustic, boho-chic or Russian folk.
Ballet shoes

The third type of summer shoes for a wedding is ballet flats. They have a number of advantages:
- comfortable, you definitely won’t get tired in them;
- relatively cheap compared to other shoes;
- practical;
- obviously they won’t be lying around in the closet, because you can wear them on any other day after the celebration.
In every shoe store you can find a huge number of ballet shoes and you don’t even have to go to a bridal salon. They are also suitable for many stylized weddings - nautical, rustic, boho-chic, Provence.
Boots

Light boots, another type of shoe for summer. Lace models look very beautiful on brides; they can be with high or low heels, or without them at all. It’s great to wear this option with a short dress, as well as with a dress that is short in front and long in back. The only thing worth considering is that such shoes are not for the heat, so it is better to choose them if your celebration is at the beginning or end of the summer season.
What to consider when choosing
When visiting wedding shoe stores, you should know a few rules. If your dress is made of silk or satin, so should the material of your shoes. Finishing, decorations - let it all be the same as on the dress. Remember that there are many shades of white, but white shoes cannot be darker than the tone of the outfit. Another rule from the masters of wedding fashion: the longer the dress, the lower the heel.
In Vesta-Bride wedding shoe stores you will be met by specialists who understand all the latest fashion trends and will help you choose a unique option that is right for you.
Winter shoe models
Shoes for a winter wedding should be warm and with comfortable soles, because it is during this season that it can be very cold and slippery outside, which raises the question: what to wear that is comfortable and festive?
Boots

This is the most popular look among brides in winter. Models with fur lapels, stones or laces look chic; they also go perfectly with a short wedding dress. It is worth considering that this option is for a warm winter or if you will be indoors most of the time.
Boots
A few examples
This model can be divided into two subtypes - ankle boots, maximum mid-calf length, and high boots up to the knees and above. The former look very gentle and feminine, while the latter are more daring and stylish, especially if worn with a short outfit. Which ones to choose will depend on the girl’s image.
Felt boots
Some options
The most comfortable and warm winter shoes, which are also suitable for the bride on her wedding day. In recent years, many couples have chosen stylized weddings, and this is where felt boots can be worn. For example, this option is best suited for a celebration in Russian folk style. Don’t think that they will look ugly in wedding photographs; on the contrary, now you can find elegant and exclusive models decorated with beads, sequins, pearls, beads and various appliqués. Your photos will be unusual and interesting, and it would also be a great idea for the groom to choose felt boots, then you will look harmonious and in the same style.
UGG boots
Examples in photographs
Light and practical, just like the previous type, they can be with beautiful appliqué, various stones, rhinestones and other bright elements. Brides in ugg boots look cute and creative, and during a walking photo shoot they will feel warm and cozy. To celebrate in a restaurant, girls usually change into shoes or ballet shoes.
Bride's wedding boots: models
Very often girls are mistaken that if the wedding is in winter, then the choice can be made on boots and this will ruin their image. Fortunately, nowadays boots are in no way inferior to shoes and find their own variations even on a hot summer day.
- Winter boots with fur. To create a cozy and homely atmosphere, felt boots are suitable; to comply with Western trends in winter, it is better to choose UGG boots; or opt for universal high boots - good options for those who like to walk in a snowy forest or in a park, as well as for those who want a beautiful photo shoot.
- Low boots and ankle boots, which have an insulated lining and are decoratively decorated with natural fur trim, will warm the feet of the lucky woman while the couple spends time outside in the cold winter season.
- During slushy or rainy weather, rubber boots will be excellent companions. Their color scheme cannot but surprise you with its breadth: you can resort to classic snow-white flowers, or experiment with bright colors and various decorations. Such shoes draw attention to themselves and can add spice not only to the image of the bride, but also to the outfits of the bridesmaids, lifting the mood of both the hero of the occasion and their guests.
- Ankle boots in snow-white shades with rich decor, high heels or wedges not only have excellent “warming” qualities, but are also an excellent addition to the bride’s wedding look.
- As we clarified, boots have found their use on hot days. So, there are very delicate and cute models of lace boots for girls, which are decorated with silk ribbons, sophisticated bows and brilliant rhinestones. Such shoes highlight the legs, creating a very touching, original and unforgettable image.
- Boots are worth buying when your wedding takes on a certain style. For example, like in the movie “Footloose”: dancing, music, smiles and... Cowboy boots.
Demi-season shoes for a wedding
These shoes, as a rule, include models that are worn in spring and autumn. What happens and what the bride should wear in the cool season will be discussed below.
Closed shoes
Chic models
This is the most popular look for fall and spring wedding ceremonies. They are suitable for girls at the beginning of September and at the end of May. This option is quite diverse, and the styles are similar to open summer shoes. Closed women's models can be with or without heels, with straps, bows, patent leather, suede, stiletto heels, platforms and with various decorations (stones, sequins, beads).
Ankle boots
Interesting options
For cooler weather, lightweight ankle boots are ideal. They are quite convenient and varied. You can find interesting models with lace, ribbons, embroidery and stones. By the way, it’s very convenient and comfortable to wear boots for the entire wedding day and you don’t have to change into shoes for the banquet, as many do in the cold season.
Rubber boots
Non-standard solution for newlyweds
I would like to consider this type separately. Such unusual and seemingly non-wedding models are perfect as an accessory for photographs in the rainy and cool seasons. You won't get wet in them and will take original shots during your walking photo shoot. It will be interesting if the groom joins the bride and also puts on rubber boots. It also happens that guests choose this non-standard type of shoes. And you can take replacement shoes to the banquet hall, so your wedding photos will be varied and unusual.
Options
Modern designers offer various shoe options for brides who value beauty and comfort:
- Ballet shoes
- Espadrilles
- Sandals or flip flops
- Wedding boots
- Wedding pumps without heels
Neat ballet shoes came into fashion from the ballet stage. This shoe model has gained the status of one of the most comfortable and is available in various options and color variations. Materials for production – artificial, genuine leather, thick textiles.
Festive models with the following decor options are relevant for wedding celebrations:
- Satin ribbons
- Sequins
- Bows
- Lace
- Beads
- Large detail - brooch, flower, stone decoration
If you are truly inspired by ballet, choose shoes with satin ribbons, similar to pointe shoes - a flat model with a rounded or blunt toe - for a romantic bride's look. You can choose laconic “ballerinas” without frills. When the celebration is over, they can be used for everyday wear with a formal suit or dress.
Tips for the bride - how to choose the right shoes
- you need to try it on well in the salon and walk around, and when you buy the product you like, take it home before the wedding. It is worth remembering that models made of genuine leather wear out quickly, but as for those that are varnished or made of fabric, they do not wear out. So be careful before you buy. Also, the disadvantage of patent leather and fabric shoes is their impracticality, the former can be scratched against each other very quickly, and the latter will collect dust in half a day;
- In no case should the bride be taller than the groom, so if your man is the same height as you, then you should give up heels and give preference to ballet shoes or flat shoes;
- You should not choose models that you have never worn. For example, if a girl doesn’t know how to walk in heels, then a wedding is not the best day to learn;
- It is the size of the heel that determines the length of your outfit. The hem of the dress should be approximately 2 cm from the floor;
- in the cold season, do not hesitate to give preference to warm shoes, because getting sick after your wedding day is not the best idea. Buy insulated boots or even felt boots for a walking photo shoot, and buy shoes for a banquet, so you won’t freeze and diversify your image and photos.
