Tip no. 1: Prioritize comfort for your ceremony shoes

Comfort is the first criterion not to overlook. On your wedding day, you will be standing for hours, walking, dancing, celebrating… Your shoes therefore need to support you without ever getting in the way. Choose comfortable wedding shoes in which you feel at ease from the very first steps. Prioritize good support, a suitable heel height and supple materials. A relaxed bride is a radiant bride, and that starts with well-chosen shoes.

Tip no. 2: Choose the style of your leather sandals carefully

The choice of your wedding shoes should never be treated as secondary. They are not just a simple pair of shoes, but a true symbol: a key piece of your outfit, an emotion-filled keepsake you will treasure.

Flat sandals or heels, the essential thing is that they reflect your style and match the world of your wedding

  • Bohemian: Choose our Aurore gold to accompany you throughout the day.
  • Country-style : Make our Laure gold the finishing touch to your outfit, for a wedding full of shine and comfort. 
  • Chic: Fall for our Elsa Gary gold: a golden touch for an unforgettable day.
  • Traditional: Our Orlane gold will enhance your silhouette while ensuring incomparable comfort.

Depending on your theme, choose the pair of sandals for women that will best match your outfit. If you need advice, visit us in our stores in France, where our advisors will be delighted to help you during a fitting session to find the most suitable pair.

Tip no. 3: Find the ideal heel height for your wedding

The heel height plays an essential role in your comfort, but also in your silhouette and confidence on the big day. To accompany you with style and lightness, our ceremony collection offers heel heights ranging from 5 to 10 cm, providing the perfect balance between elegance and stability.

For brides looking for a pair of high-heeled sandals, choose block-heel styles, which offer more stability while remaining elegant, like our model of heeled leather sandals Maé.

For those who prefer a more discreet heel height, choose low-heeled sandals, ideal for a natural look that is easy to wear throughout the day, like our model of mid-heel sandals Aline.

For those looking for comfort, choose our collection of flat sandals for women, such as our model of Hortensia flat leather sandals. 

Tip no. 4: Choose the color and details of your comfortable wedding shoes.

The color of your wedding shoes adds a personal touch to your outfit. Do not limit yourself to traditional white women’s shoes. Dare to choose shades that reflect your style, such as gold or silver heeled shoes, or colorful sandals.

Our leather shoes for women offer a palette of colors and finishes to match your wedding theme perfectly. Let yourself be inspired by our ceremony collection to find refined wedding shoes for your big day.

What if your shoes became one of the most memorable details of your outfit? With our collection available in gold, ivory and powder pink, you benefit from timeless and refined shades, ideal for enhancing every dress style and wedding theme. Whether you choose the warm shine of gold, the elegant softness of ivory or the subtlety of powder pink, these colors pair perfectly with your look while adding a precious and luminous touch to your big day.

Tip no. 5: Try on and wear your wedding shoes before the big day.

Before the wedding, the bride should take the time to try on and get used to her wedding shoes. We therefore recommend wearing your heeled shoes or your sandals at home so they can adapt to your feet. This ensures that they will be comfortable on the big day.

You should be able to walk, dance and move freely, without pain. Practising with your pair of shoes helps avoid unpleasant surprises and ensures an elegant and comfortable stride.
If you would like personalised support, feel free to come and try on your shoes in store. Our advisors are available to answer all your questions and guide you in choosing the pair best suited to your needs. Our customer service also remains at your disposal for any request for advice, so that you are perfectly ready on the big day.

Tip no. 6: Consider a second pair on your wedding day

Having a second pair of shoes on your wedding day is a smart strategy.
To avoid ending the evening barefoot, plan a second pair of shoes, such as a pair of flat sandals or a pair of white leather sneakers.

These spare shoes will ensure that you stay chic and comfortable, ready to dance until the end of the night.

Also remember to choose a pair that is easy to slip on and lightweight, which you can keep close at hand throughout the day. This second pair will give you real freedom of movement during the festive moments, while protecting your feet from fatigue and possible pain. By anticipating this small detail, you ensure yourself an evening full of joy, without compromising your elegance.

FAQ - Choosing the right wedding shoes

Which shoes should you choose depending on the style of your wedding?

For a bohemian or country-style wedding, choose flat sandals or mid-heels. For a classic or glamorous style, choose elegant heels. Outdoors or on grass, go for block heels or flat shoes. On hard ground, all models are suitable, provided they offer good comfort.

Which type of heel is the most comfortable for a wedding?

It all depends on what you are used to. Low heels (3 to 5 cm) offer a good balance between comfort and elegance, mid-heels (5 to 7 cm) allow you to look elegant while remaining comfortable to wear, while high heels (7 to 10 cm) are suitable if you are used to wearing them and want a more sophisticated look. Flat shoes, meanwhile, are ideal for staying comfortable all day long.

Which wedding shoe color should you choose?

Ivory, gold or powder pink shades are safe choices. They pair easily with a wedding dress and bring an elegant, luminous touch to your outfit.

When should you buy your wedding shoes?

Ideally, you should buy your shoes a few months before the big day (3 to 4 months), once your dress has been chosen. This allows you to check that they match your outfit, but also to try them on several times and get used to them.

How can you avoid sore feet on your wedding day?

To avoid pain, wear your shoes beforehand to soften them and adapt them to your feet. Choose comfortable models with good support and a suitable heel height. You can also use pads, insoles or anti-friction protectors for even more comfort throughout the day.
