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!

Fluevog shoes: buy them for your wedding, but wear them every dang day

At Offbeat Bride, we make no secret of our never-ending ongoing love-affair with John Fluevog shoes — you’ve seen them so many times here on the site that we have an entire tag archive for them. Even if you don’t think you know Fluevogs, you do. Remember Deee-Lite? Remember the lead singer? She wore Fluevogs.
…And if I have anything to say about it, you will too.

White bridal shoes that are full of OMG WUTness

White footwear can sometimes slip through the cracks of my “all color, all the time” gnat-like attention span. If shoes aren’t louder than loud, I’ll admit it: sometimes I don’t notice them quite as much.

Today, however, I am saluting the power of the great white wedding shoe. As you can see from this amazing winged Vivienne Westwood pump here, white does NOT have to mean boring. I’ve got a few options for you below, ranging from pure and snowy all the way to blood-splattered and cherry-picked.

Nontraditional grooms shoes that go WAY beyond Converse

It seems that for many grooms you have two options for footwear: you can go bland and formal, or you can wear Converse All-Stars. Now, don’t get me wrong: I LOVES ME SOME CHUCKS. It’s just that we’ve got 13 pages of grooms in Converse and not many options for grooms who might want something funky that’s NOT Cons.

And so this week we take a break from women’s footwear to bring you sweet-ass dude shoes. I tried to go for a range of styles — from oxfords and lace-ups to slip-ons and sneakers. That said, some of these fancy dude shoes are PRICEY…but I don’t think it’s fair that only the ladies are allowed to gawk nice things, so I included the overpriced Italian options for the grooms who love to get fancy.

More loud shoes I love

Y’all know the routine by now. I like loud shoes — even the ones I could never afford or ever walk in. If you’re looking for understated this week, you’re not really going to find much here — this link might be better for you if you’re looking for classy.

Today’s collection of VERY LOUD SHOES includes probably a few too many Betsey Johnson and Iron Fist options, including this pair of leopard print shoes with a built-in heart, and some platforms that I really should have included in my skull shoes post a few weeks ago…

Skull shoes and accessories for creepy weddings (and other days)

It’s been a while since I did a skull-focused shoe round-up, and I know some of you are already scheming your Halloween 2012 weddings, so it’s about damn time I got proactively ghoulish and focused on some skeletal shoes.
