You’ve found your perfect wedding dress. You’ve booked your wedding venue. Now, let’s talk footwear! We’ve compiled a few of our favorite real bride photos for some major wedding shoe inspiration. From beach-ready flats to shimmery wedges to razzle-dazzle heels, keep scrolling for fabulous wedding shoe ideas inspired by our real brides!

Winter Wedding Idea: Black Ankle Boots with Vintage Ball Gown Wedding Dress

If you’ve chosen a sparkly ball gown wedding dress and a cold-season wedding date, odds are you need some chic yet practical footwear. Cue your search for the perfect pair of bridal booties: stylish, versatile, and weather-ready shoes for brides getting married in wintery locales, rustic-themed venues, or outdoor vistas with uneven terrain.

  • Groom with Real Bride Wearing Black Ankle Boots

We love this bride’s choice of black ankle boots to complement her dark hair and (of course!) her enchanting Allen bridal gown from Sottero and Midgley.

If you’ve got a boho heart and a fuss-free attitude, opt for comfy wedges in a natural tone and easy heel. This casual style pairs well with pretty lace patterns and soft layers, and is more easily re-appropriated for future outfits than, say, a glass slipper or Swarovski-crystal stiletto.
