Plus, you'll be crossing two items off your to-do list: finding a fashionable pair of wedding pumps and your something blue.

What Does "Something Blue" Represent?

The tradition of brides wearing something blue on their wedding day comes from the Old English rhyme: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe.” "Something blue" traditionally represents purity, love, and fidelity.

One of the best parts about choosing a shoe as your "something blue?" You have tons of options—and they don't have to break the bank either. Browse Lulus, Nordstrom Rack, DSW, or Stuart Weitzman's collection for budget-friendly (yet jaw-dropping) options. Or, if you're like us, you'll take any excuse to splurge on an investment pair you can enjoy for years to come. If this may be the case, shop designers like Manolo Blahnik, Dolce & Gabbana, Louboutin, or Jimmy Choo.

But, no matter how many pennies you're willing to fork over, there is a shoe and a style for every bride-to-be. More formal brides may opt for a classic navy pump or glittery details whereas a minimalist bride is more likely to be drawn to simple silhouettes with barely there straps. For the bride with a bohemian sensibility, there are scores of laid-back shoes crafted from light and airy fibers like woven raffia and jute.

Whether you want to stun in stilettos or walk across the beach in espadrilles, we've rounded up the best something-blue wedding shoes for every style and budget.

What to Look for in Blue Wedding Shoes

Comfort and Style

After you've gained some bridal footwear inspiration, don't forget a few of the logistics. While it may not be as glamorous, comfort and sensibility are key. Trust us; this is not the day to wear those sky-high stilettos you've been eyeing if you're typically a sneaker type of girl. We know they're gorgeous, but it's important that you're feeling comfortable and confident, so you can truly soak in the day. Most importantly, go for the blue shoe that aligns with your personal style and allows for some fun photo opportunities.

Heel Type

In addition to keeping your personal footwear tolerance in mind, check out your venue's landscape. If you're outdoors on a lawn, cobblestone, sand, or even gravel, it's imperative that you can easily walk on the terrain no matter if you're walking down the aisle or down a pathway to your cocktail hour. If you know you'll be outside on uneven ground, it's probably best to opt for wedges or flats with an ankle strap for extra security. If you're set on heels, have another pair on hand for moments you need them. Better yet, purchase a heel grass stopper on a site like Amazon or DSW. This is a small clear accessory than can be placed onto the end of your heel to stop your stilettos from sinking into the ground.
