Best Bridal Shoes To Buy Now: 37 Of The Most Beautiful And Comfortable Wedding Shoes
After the wedding outfit comes the shoes. Here's a list of the best wedding shoes to buy.
Shopping for bridal shoes is one of the most important tasks to tick off the list ahead of your wedding – after you’ve bought your wedding dress/wedding suit, wedding stationery and booked your honeymoon, of course.
Unlike wedding outfit shopping, which can be a bit of an ordeal, the task of finding the perfect pair of bridal shoes in the UK is the fun bit. As is choosing your bridal jewellery (think earrings, bracelets, rings and more!)
Most brides will be well versed in their footwear preferences, whether it's heel-height, court versus strappy, open toe or embellished, or modern over traditional. Others will be considering where is the best place to find comfortable wedding shoes, or wanting to find out the best bridal shoe brands on the market in 2023, such as Jimmy Choo, Neous and Loeffler Randall.
But the real question when it comes to wedding shoe shopping is how much are you willing to spend?
After all, it’s important to remember that besides the wedding photographer's traditional shoes-on-windowsill shot, most guests won't get particularly close to your wedding shoes, which makes a case for not spending too much money. After all, an extra £700 to spend on wedding favours, venue, entertainment and flowers is a real boon when finances are tightening before the big day.
And let’s not forget that when the wedding photographs have been taken and you hit the dancefloor, you might prefer to swap your wedding shoes for a pair of comfy trainers, flip flops or even slippers (ok, yes, let's include barefoot in
However, some brides will view their wedding day as a rare opportunity to splurge on a pair of designer shoes, whether it's a Manolo Blahnik Hangisi embellished satin pump or an Aquazzura Ari 105 metallic leather sandal. After all, unlike a boho or modern wedding dress, wedding shoes can always be worn again on a night out and styled with different looks.
Whether you decide to spend or save on your wedding shoes, we’ve rounded up a list of the best bridal shoes to buy in 2023 so your feet look just as fabulous as your frock.

Jimmy Choo Heloise 120 patent leather platform sandals
Jimmy Choo Heloise 120 patent leather platform sandals
There are several reasons why Jimmy Choo is such a popular choice for brides ahead of their big day. Not only are Choos comfortable, but they're always ahead of the bridal curve when it comes to designs, which is why we love this more unusual platform sandal style made of patent leather, rather than your traditional satin.
Malone Souliers Perla 70 White Embellished Heeled Sandals
Malone Souliers Perla 70 White Embellished Heeled Sandals
We love Malone Souliers' bridal shoe collection, and have become obsessed with this square-toed sandal design. Created in collaboration with the Lebanese jewellers L'Atelier Nawbar, these white heels are made of 100% leather in Italy and feature semi-sheer mesh and a gold cosmic symbol, making them the perfect choice for a spring/summer weddings. They can also be dressed up with jeans and a blazer after the wedding, meaning they're a true investment.

Made from satin and decorated with a stunning crystal embellishment, we think these shoes are well worth the price tag for your special moment.
Give us an organic crepe de chine and lace pair of kitten heels, handcrafted in Italy, and we're happy. We love Neous for several reasons, but these heels truly have us swooning. Style with a midi and veil, and you'll shine.
The gold lock chain and heel team perfectly with the simple white leather style and fabric of this shoe. We're in love.
AQUAZZURA Tequila 105 embellished leather sandals

We love these blush leather sandals with a buckle-fastening ankle strap. The heel measures approximately 4 inches, so you'll be able to add height without having discomfort on your wedding day.

Whether you've opted for a super feminine off-the-shoulder gown or a modern mini from bride-favourite The Fall Bride, these off-white leather pumps won't go unnoticed. We're into the platinum-plated stud at the toe.

White suede heels and a black velvet bow, anyone? These modern pumps can be worn on your wedding day and at every party to follow.

Jimmy Choo - £795.00 Aveline 100 bow-embellished grosgrain sandals
The 'Aveline' is one of the most popular wedding shoe styles on the market at the moment and feature oversized organza bows at the back and on the toes.
These shoes can be worn far beyond your wedding day. The Studio 54-esque sandals are made from buttery grained calf leather, finished with a twist at the front, and we fear if we bought them, we might not want to take them off.
