Wedding Shoes

We love dorking out on loud, funky, cute, colorful, comfortable, and dare we say alternative wedding shoes. We’ve got flats, wedges, and weirdness — be sure to check out the styles currently trending with our readers!

Forget your sleeve: wear your heart on your FEET

I’m feeling quite literal today: Weddings! Love! Hearts! Really, for the literalist, there are two days when you should wear heart shoes: Valentine’s Day and your wedding day. In celebration of the latter, I decided to go trawling for shoes that give me a (wait for it) heart on. HA HA! Get it? In this post you’ll find sparkly heart shoes, some grey options, a couple yellow heart heels, some heart-y sneakers (including custom converse!), and a few flats. Let’s do this!

Wide wedding shoes that don’t look (or feel!) like boats

I’m here to round up some awesome shoes for my wide-footed ladies. These are weddings shoes that come in “WW” widths, but still look sassy and faboooo, dahlinks. Because hey: nothing against boats, but sometimes you don’t want your feet to feel like one.

Going up? Platforms to add a little height to your wedding day [UPDATED for 2022!!]

I’m a sucker for a platform. Is it because I came of age during the height of the ’90s club kid stacked platform fad? Is it because I love being taller, without being up on my toes? Is it because of all the colors you can cram into the extra square inch-age of shoe material? No clue, you guys… but I love platforms.

In this post, I’ve got everything from high heeled platforms to flatforms with almost no heel-height differential. You ready? BE READY.

Dazzle the night away in these sparkly, glittery shoes you can actually dance in

It’s been a hot minute (drab minute? matte minute?) since I set my sights on sparkly, glitter-crusted shoes, so let’s right that wrong! Today I want shoes that turn your feet into spinning disco balls — but shoes that are also low-heeled enough to dance in. I want shoes that wink under your dress while not quietly murdering your feet, so I’m going to focus on heel heights under about 2″.
