Are you searching for the perfect pair of bridal sneakers or comfortable wedding flats? You are not alone. More and more brides are choosing wedding sneakers and flat bridal shoes to stay comfortable, confident, and completely themselves on their wedding day. I love talking all things bridal fashion as stylish wedding garter designer, and you can't really talk about fashion without talking about shoes!
Whether you want embellished bridal sneakers for your wedding ceremony, classic wedding flats for all-day comfort, or a fun second-look reception or after party shoe for dancing the night away, there are so many stylish options to choose from. Your wedding shoes should feel just as amazing as they look, and yes, comfort absolutely belongs in your bridal fashion plan.
In this Garter Girl Loves feature, I’m sharing the best bridal sneakers and wedding flats for brides who want comfort without sacrificing style. I’ve been helping brides across the U.S. style their wedding day fashion for over 20 years and there's one thing I know for sure, it's very important that brides feel comfortable on their wedding day, because when you're comfortable, you're confident!
After 20+ years in the wedding industry at The Garter Girl helping thousands of brides plan their wedding day fashion and find a gorgeous bridal garter that feels like them, I can confidently say this: comfort is never a mistake. The best wedding shoes are the ones that let you move, laugh, hug, and dance without thinking about your feet.
Your bridal style should feel like you, if that wearing sneakers, flats, heels, or all three (no judgement, I love shoes too!).
If you're not a fan of heels or shoes with height, don't feel pressured to wear them on your wedding day! Let us say that again...you don't HAVE to wear heels on your wedding day.
In fact most wedding dresses are long and your shoes will be covered up for the most part, no one will see your shoes - all the more reason to wear comfortable bridal shoes on your wedding day.
Choose the right wedding shoe for you. If comfort is important, consider some fun bridal sneakers.
There are so many designers on Etsy who personalize or embellish and bedazzle sneakers of all brands and styles to create the perfect sneaker for the bride.
If sneakers feel a little too casual for you, consider bridal flats or shoes with no heel height! Flats are a great way to keep your feet happy on your wedding day and still show off a more elegant style.
If you DO want to wear those gorgeous heels that you've had your eye on with your wedding dress, we don't judge you. In this case, be prepared you might need something more comfortable but still bridal for later, consider bridal sneakers to complete your second look and pair with your reception bridal dress or reception jumpsuit.
If you aren't into sneakers or flats for your wedding, we have a collection of gorgeous shoes for the bride that you have to see. And, if you're still wondering what to wear as your reception dress or where to shop for one, check out our reception wedding dresses, after party and second look outfits post filled with info and ideas!
Oh and don't forget that these super cute bridal sneakers with sparklers or personalized can be worn on your wedding related events and parties too. What about a cute pair of bridal flats for your bachelorette party, bridal shower, engagement party. And your rehearsal dinner and going way post wedding brunch too!
If you aren't into sneakers for flats for your wedding day, don't forget that you have so many other events were you get to be "the bride" too, and a fun pair of kicks is totally appropriate for those events.

I get asked a lot about all things bridal fashion, not just wedding garters. Here are some of the most common questions that I get from brides on their wedding day shoes…
Can you wear sneakers with a wedding dress?
Yes, and it looks amazing. Bridal sneakers are a stylish and comfortable option, especially for modern brides who want to dance, move, and feel confident all day long.
Are bridal flats appropriate for a wedding?
Absolutely. Bridal flats are perfect for outdoor ceremonies, long wedding days, or brides who simply don’t wear heels. Many elegant flat wedding shoes are just as beautiful as traditional heels.
Should I change into sneakers for my reception?
Many brides choose wedding sneakers for their reception or second look outfit. It’s the perfect way to stay comfortable while still looking bridal and polished.
So whether you’re searching for bridal sneakers to pair with your gown, elegant wedding flats for all-day comfort, or the perfect reception shoe for your second look, there has never been a better time to choose comfort with confidence.
After helping brides for over 20 years, I know for certain that you deserve to feel stylish, empowered, and completely at ease on your wedding day, from your garter to a second wedding dress, or to your shoes and everything in between.
With love,
The Garter Girl
