Think Outside the White Wedding Shoe Box

Creative Shoes for the Nontraditional Bride

When in doubt, turn to Roy G. Biv. Buoyant cobalt kitten heels ($102) from Marais USA are a perfect happy bridal hue.

Peonies or roses? Updo or wavy? Sandals or booties? Have the best of both worlds in elegant Tate sandals ($495) by Eileen Shields for Zero + Maria Cornejo.

You’ve got the chutzpah to pull off Alexander Wang’s embossed snakeskin, open-toe ankle booties ($525). We envision them with a tailored suit or as the center of attention under a short shift.

j.crew floral peep toe! Flowers Everywhere
J.Crew’s floral peep-toe pumps ($198) have a ’40s silhouette, feminine charm, and are comfortably low heeled. They pair perfectly with a vintage dress and colorful sash.
