Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life – but also, quite possibly, the longest.
From a sleepless night full of nervous excitement and early start to get your glad rags on, the day zig-zags between getting hitched, posing for photos, making small talk with distant relatives and finally: a whole lot of dancing.
It’s important, therefore, that you’re comfortable, or as comfy as wedding attire allows. And that means flat shoes.
Whether worn for the whole day (or as a backup when your feet start to ache), here is a selection of gorgeous flat shoes that are fit for a bride.
keds x kate spade New York Glitter Sneakers, Kate Spade, £75
Add some sparkle to your feet with Kate Spade’s collaboration with Keds. They’re great if you’re looking to keep accessories to a minimum but still want a touch of luxe with the metallic silver ribbon laces. Plus, they’re definitely worth the price tag as you’ll be able to wear them long after the wedding is over. Available in sizes 1.5 to 8.5.
Ballerinas With Metal Piece, Zara, £29.99
Pick up this pair of chic ballet flats. They look so much more expensive than the price tag would suggest. If you’re an unconventional bride who’s opting for a jumpsuit instead of a dress, these are the perfect way to pull your look together. Available in sizes 2 to 8.
Thoella Mules, ALDO, £55
Embrace metallics with these silver mules. They’re effortless and simple, making them the perfect compliment to a minimal bridal gown. You won’t have to worry about falling up the aisle with these. Available in sizes 2.5 to 9.5.
Priscilla In White Comb, Kurt Geiger, £129
If you’re opting for a shorter hemline, it’s the perfect opportunity to show off a statement shoe like this pair. This opulent print is giving us major Versace vibes, without the hefty price tag. Available in sizes 2 to 9.
Formal Loafers White Croc Leather, Office, £62
If you’re after a little more structure in your shoes, try a leather loafer instead. They’re especially good if you’re getting married outside as they’ll keep toes warm and dry. Fashionable and functional, what’s not to love? Available in sizes 3 to 9.
Natural Mules With Bow Detail, Zara, £25.99
A fancier take on a classic casual summer shoe, Zara has upgraded the espadrille to its chicest version yet. The pretty cloth bow will make sure these don’t slide off your feet when you’re walking down the aisle, and they’ll make the perfect addition to your suitcase when the honeymoon calls.
Rome Embellished Sandal, Accessorize, £24.50
If you’re tying the knot on a sandy beach or in hot climates, these pretty embellished sandals are a fuss-free way of keeping cool. You can also wear them for the honeymoon, if the Maldives are beckoning. Available in sizes 3 to 8.
Blue By Betsey Johnson Embellished Flat Wedding Mules, ASOS, £70 (was £140)
Splurge on these decadent embellished bow mules if you want your footwear to do the talking. They make a great statement shoe to wear with a shorter dress, so you can show them off to your new spouse and guests. Available in sizes 3 to 9.
Wide Fit Leather Brogue Tassel Loafers, Marks & Spencer, £45
If you’re wearing trousers, pop on a trusty pair of brogues. Whilst made from suede, they have a stain-resistant finish and padding on the sole to ensure maximum comfort, so you can be the last one on the dance floor. Available in sizes 3 to 8.
