Bridal Flats Do Exist, Here Are Some Of Our Faves
As a bride, there’s a lot of pressure to look a certain way on your wedding day. You’re expected to dress the part, get all glammed up, and put style over comfort for this one day, even if that’s not your usual MO. Well, we’ve got news for everyone…it’s a brave new world, girl, and you don’t have to fit into that princess-shaped cookie-cutter idea of what a bride is “supposed to look like”. Wear your hair how you like it. If dresses aren’t your thing, wear pants! And last but not least, if you hate heels or just can’t stand the thought of wearing them all day–then, by all means, wear flats! We know what you’re thinking, it’s easier said than done. After all, just because a bride would rather wear flats doesn’t mean that she is necessarily looking for something less formal, less (shall we say) bridal. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’ve rounded up some of the cutest flats on the market that are sure to give you all those glass slipper feels.
Feel like you need to lock in your dress before you start shoe shopping? Look at you being all responsible! Here are some of the top trends that we’re seeing in wedding dresses for 2022 and here’s everything you need to know about sizing.
RED BOTTOMS
We love these barely-there flats by Christian Louboutin. They've got all the sex appeal of a stiletto with none of the pain. Plus they've got the signature red bottoms!
GIRL WITH THE PEARL SHOES
These pearl-encrusted flats by Jimmy Choo would be perfect for a beach wedding with a sleek minimalist mermaid gown.
SPARKLE BABY
We love a metallic bridal shoe, like these satin mules from Manolo Blahnik with their crystal accents. These babies would look great peeking out from under a beautiful voluminous ballgown.
SHOW A LITTLE SKIN
If you're getting married in one of the hotter months, then a strappy sandal like this one from Charles and Keith is the way to go. We love the little crystal detail that sets this pair apart from your go-to summer sandals.
CINDERELLA MOMENT
You're probably familiar with the stiletto sister to these Cinderella-inspired glass slippers, but did you know they came in flats?!? You're welcome!
KEEP IT CLASSIC
And just like that, you discovered that this style, made famous by the style icon Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, came in flats. Plus, they come in 16 different colors!
TELL ME ABOUT IT, STUD
If you're looking for something with a little more of an edge, what about these patent leather rock-stud flats from Valentino? If you're one of those brides rocking a leather jacket for your exit look, these babies are for you.
BALLET FLATS
A pretty literal take on the ballet flat, these leather flats from Charles and Keith look super comfy plus they'll add an air of whimsy and romance to any bridal look.
LACEY LACE-UPS
Perfect for a garden wedding, paired with an elegant lace dress, these flats from Bella Belle Shoes are so sweet and romantic! They're also a summer-friendly alternative to sandals thanks to that breathable mesh.
A LITTLE BLING
We love these champagne lace flats from Badgley Mischka and the crystal embellishments are just icing on the cake! These beauties would be stunning under a big tulle skirt.
X MARKS THE SPOT
These crystal flats from Jimmy Choo are the epitome of a modern bridal shoe. The classic design keeps the look elegant while the iridescent crystals add a quirky touch to an otherwise timeless look.
