Most people want to talk about heels when it comes to the topic of wedding shoes, but not everyone is a heels kind of girl. There are plenty of flat shoes that look just as gorgeous, and they’ll keep you from falling down the aisle!

Here are some of your best options:

1. Sandals

Sandals are among the most popular wedding shoes for those who have summer weddings or destination weddings in warmer climates. They come in all shapes and colors and can be open toed or closed toed. They also frequently come decorated with sequins or crystals and can easily be found in other styles that are perfectly suited for wedding and bridesmaid dresses.

2. Flats

Flats are another beautiful option for weddings and are often the first go-to alternative to heels. There are many different types of flats, and you’ll need to do a lot of browsing before you find the ones you like. These include pointed toe, open toe, round toe, and ballet flats. Ballet flats tend to be easier to wear, and it’s a great idea to select some comfortable ballet flats if you’re going to wear the same shoes throughout the ceremony and reception. Flats come in many different styles and colors, so don’t limit your search to white.

3. Flip flops

Flip flops may seem like they’re more appropriate for the pool than for a wedding, but they can be extremely convenient and comfortable for both the bride and her crew. Thousands of wedding-appropriate flip flops can be found in stores and online for a fraction of the cost of heels, making it a great money saving option. Flip flops are also particularly suited for beach weddings.

4. Ballerina shoes

There’s nothing more whimsical than ballerina shoes, and a wedding is the perfect place to wear them. While you don’t actually have to wear dancing shoes, you can wear a pair that emulates the style. These are great for brides who have a more classical taste, and they come in a variety of colors including white, beige, and pink. Ballerina shoes are also great for bridesmaids, making them look like a company of dancers. If you’re looking for shoes that are both elegant and gorgeous, get some of these.

5. Boots

Boots of all kinds are best preserved for winter weddings,and there are many options to choose from.  Cowboy boots have been a popular choice at country themed weddings among brides and bridesmaids. Furry white or neutral winter boots are also a great choice for those getting married during the snowier months. Some brides have even chosen a pair of stylish rainboots to wear under their long wedding gowns, and others prefer the combat boot look.

6. Tennis shoes

You might not be the runaway bride, but there’s no rule that states you can’t wear tennis shoes to your own wedding! Not only are they comfortable, but they’re perfect for a long night of dancing and celebrating. They’re great for nature weddings and any outdoor areas that aren’t suited for sandals and other shoes that expose your feet to the elements. You can buy a pair in any color or style, or you can personalize your own.

7. Moccasins

Moccasins are super comfortable and can be worn all year round, but they are better suited for winter and fall weddings. You can find them in a variety of colors, including white and tan, and you can keep them on all day without wearing out your feet. It’s like wearing slippers to your wedding, only much cuter. Moccasins are also perfect for the whole wedding party - even the groom can wear a pair!

Anything goes when you’re getting married, and you can wear whatever you want on your wedding day.Be playful about it, but make sure to pick something that you’ll be satisfied with when browsing through your wedding photos later on. Pay attention to what’s appropriate for the season, and always keep comfort in mind!
