6 Ideas for Unique Wedding Shoes

With so many details to consider, it can be tempting to leave choosing your wedding shoes to the last minute! However, your shoes are one of the most important aspects of your wedding day look. Not only do you want to be comfortable all day, but shoes are the perfect way to show off your unique style.

If you’re looking for wedding shoes that stand out from the usual ivory satin heels, here are 6 of our favourite unique wedding shoe styles.

1 - Vintage

Vintage wedding shoes are a great choice if you’re going with a vintage theme or not. Beaded embellishment and T-bar shapes evoke 1920s glamour. Court shoes with a lower heel are typical of the 1950s. Or, you could go all the way back to the 19th century and seek out some lace-up ankle boots with a heel.

2 - Flats

Planning to dance the night of your wedding away? There’s no reason to squeeze your feet into a pair of uncomfortable stilettos. Particularly if you never wear them usually. A white pair of Converse trainers are a comfortable alternative for brides who want to be kind to their feet. Or you could consider sparkly brogues or pretty ballerina pumps.

3 - Themed

Matching your shoes to your theme is a great choice if you’re getting married at an unusual venue. If you’re having a festival wedding you could opt for a pair of wellies, while sparkly sandals are a great choice for beach weddings.

4 - DIY Embellishment

If you feel your wedding shoes are a bit too boring, some DIY embellishment could really liven them up. A little bit of added bling, ribbons, lace, feathers or even flowers can make your wedding shoes exciting and original.

5 - Colourful

Colourful wedding shoes add a sense of personality and drama to your big day and look great when they tie in with the overall colour scheme you’ve chosen. Plus, if you’re struggling to find your ‘something blue’, your shoes could be the perfect option.

6 - Personalised

Finally, to make your shoes really unique, you could personalise them with the date of your wedding or a special message on the soles. This also makes for great photo opportunities while you’re getting ready.
