Selecting Shoes to Wear With Your Wedding Dress


Walk down the aisle in style and comfort with the right shoes. You've got many options for standing at the altar, greeting your guests and dancing the night away.


  • Consider the fabric of your dress. Match silk and satin gowns to satin shoes, and match tulle and silk chiffon gowns to crepe or raw-silk shoes.
  • Select embellishments that match your dress and headpiece. Pair jewels with rhinestones and beads with pearls.
  • Evaluate the color of your dress in a light similar to that of the ceremony and reception. If possible, take your dress into the indoor/outdoor, day/evening lighting that you anticipate at your wedding.
  • Think about a style of shoe that complements the dress and your own personal style. Sandals, slippers, pumps or strappy heels are all viable options.
  • Consider heel heights: slippers, flat heel, midheel or high heel. Decide whether you need to maximize or minimize your height to complement that of your fiancĂ©.
  • Try shoes on with your actual dress if possible. Evaluate how the dress hangs in proportion to the shoes, if you can see the shoes at all.


Buy comfortable shoes. You'll be standing and dancing in them for a long time.
Remember shades of white and off-white can vary dramatically. Have your shoes professionally dyed or tinted to ensure they match the exact shade of your dress.
