20+ pairs of wedding day flats

I steadfastly believe that the higher-heeled types shouldn’t get all the fun, so today I’m going to round up a collection of 46 pairs of flats that are loud and daring — just like I like ’em. Ready for some shoes that won’t make you tower over your partner or hobble through your reception? I’ve got everything from pointy-toed frilly stuff for the femmey-footed, to adorable color-block Oxfords, to sweet love-note themed shoes… all with almost no heel height, for your wedding day comfort.

Groom shoes can be just as loud and colorful (and erm, expensive) as bridal footwear

For these fancypants types, I bring you today’s post full of loud colorful formal footwear in masculine styles. Of course there’s some Fluevog action in here, but I’ve also got some Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, and some skull-covered Jeffery-West. The sad truth is that some of these shoes are really, really expensive… but they’re also really, really fabulous. Even if you’re just window shopping, there are styles in here to love…

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″.
