10 Trends in Wedding Shoes for Austin Brides, Where Comfort is Key
When planning a wedding, every detail matters. One important aspect that often gets overlooked is comfortable wedding shoes. While style and aesthetics are always crucial, comfort should be a top priority on your big day. Today’s brides feel free to choose non-traditional options that keep them comfortable all day. Let’s face it, what’s worse than your feet killing you on your most important day?
Depending on the dress, the shoes often are never seen anyway, unless the dress is lifted to reveal them. Remember the scene in “Father of the Bride” where she pulls up the hem of her dress to show off her wedding sneakers? That was pretty impactful on new trends of comfort!
In this blog post, we will explore 10 trends in wedding shoes that prioritize both style and comfort, ensuring you look and feel your best as you walk down the aisle.
- Embellished Flats: For brides who prioritize comfortable wedding shoes above all else, embellished flats are a stylish alternative to heels. Adorned with pearls, crystals, or lace details, these flats can add a touch of glamour to your bridal look while keeping your feet happy throughout the day.
- Block Heels: Say goodbye to sky-high stilettos and hello to block heels. They offer more stability and support, making it easier to navigate different terrains like grass or gravel without sinking or getting stuck. And in Austin and the Texas Hill Country, a large portion of ceremonies are held outside, so thinking of your particular wedding venue’s ceremony surface is important. Block heels come in various heights and styles, allowing you to find the perfect balance between comfort and elegance.
- Sneakers: So fun and practical! Whether you opt for classic white sneakers or custom-designed kicks, wearing sneakers on your wedding day is a great choice for brides who want to dance the night away in ultimate comfort.
- Metallic Accents: Metallic tones like gold, silver, and rose gold are popular choices for modern brides looking to add a touch of luxury to their wedding ensemble. Match your shoes to your choice of metallics in your wedding decor, to tie everything together in a clever way.
- Customizable Options: Many shoe designers now offer customizable options for brides who want a personalized touch on their footwear. From choosing different heel heights to adding monograms or special messages, customizing your wedding shoes allows you to create a one-of-a-kind pair that reflects your unique style and personality.
- Ankle Straps: Ankle straps not only provide added support but also give a chic and sophisticated look to your wedding shoes. Opt for ankle straps adorned with delicate pearls or crystals for an elegant touch that will elevate your bridal ensemble.
- Beachy Sandals: Even if you’re not having your dream wedding on a beach, the style of beautiful beach sandals can be a perfect choice even in the Texas Hill Country! If sandals are your thing, wear them on your wedding day! Think before you choose flip-flops, though, as you don’t want that “fap-fap-fap” sound as you walk down the aisle!
- Low Heels: If you’re not used to wearing high heels but still want some height on your wedding day, low heels are the perfect compromise. With lower heel heights ranging from one to two inches, these shoes provide just enough lift without compromising on comfort or stability.
- Western Wedding Boots: This IS Texas. Boots are acceptable formal wear! And savvy boot companies even offer ‘wedding boots’! That’s me in the picture above at my vow renewal, with my gorgeous wedding boots from Corral Brand! Which I still wear all the time, years later. They match everything and are so blingy! There are amazingly gorgeous white boots available, but a fun color is another great option! Which brings us to……
- Statement Colors: While traditional white or ivory wedding shoes will always be classic choices, statement colors like blush pink, emerald green, or royal blue are gaining popularity among modern brides looking to make a bold statement with their footwear choice. Pairing colorful shoes with a neutral dress can add an unexpected pop of color to your bridal look while still prioritizing comfort. And how fun is this idea of matching your shoes to your bouquet and wedding color palette?
Finding the perfect pair of wedding shoes is essential for feeling confident and comfortable on your big day. Opt for shoes with cushioned insoles for a comfortable yet stylish option that will help keep you on your feet all day long.
Whether you choose block heels for stability, embellished flats for practicality, sneakers for fun, or ankle straps for elegance, there are plenty of new trends in wedding shoes that prioritize both style and comfort!
We hope these give you some fantastic inspiration when searching for the ideal footwear to complement your bridal ensemble. Remember–comfort should always be key when selecting your wedding shoes!
