After saying “yes” to the dress —or suit, or jumpsuit, or separates—the next step to completing your wedding day look is picking your accessories. There are a lot of pieces that come together to create your bridal ensemble. And if you’re debating on what to pick, one of our favorite ways to add some shine to a bride’s wedding style is with silver wedding shoes.
Whether you're planning seaside nuptials in the sand or spinning around on the marble floors of a ballroom, there's silver bridal footwear for every bride-to-be. Opt for flat sandals or a ballet flat for a more practical and comfortable option. Or, slip on stellar stilettos, block heels, or even kitten heels with embellishment for an unforgettable look.
No matter what the rest of your wedding color palette entails, silver is typically a favorite hue, as it often matches an engagement ring and many other accessories. Regardless, it’s an elegant, shiny color and tends to look great with most bridal gowns. Plus, there are countless silver shoes on the market that adhere to a range of budgets.
Comfort is key! Break your wedding shoes in before the big day by wearing them around the house and practicing your walk down the aisle (in the hallway).
To help narrow down your choices, we've researched and selected the best options available—keeping style, comfort, details, and overall quality in mind. If you're looking to splurge on a knock-out pair of shoes, go with the Jimmy Choo Love Flat or the Manolo Blahnik Lurum Jewel Leaf Mule. Want something sweet and sparkling? We love the Journee Collection Connor Wedge Sandal and the Aminah Jillil Glitter Silver Open Toe.

What to Look for in Silver Wedding Shoes
Comfort
Now that you've got your mind set on silver shoes, it's time to consider the details before clicking "add to cart." Most importantly, comfort is key. Ensure that the shoes you're selecting are not only best for your venue's landscape (indoor and outdoor) you'll be walking on, but also your personal tolerance. We know, we know—those four-inch stilettos are gorgeous. But if you've never been comfortable in them, this is not the day to give those shoes another shot. It's your wedding day after all, and the last thing you want to be focused on is the pulsing sensation in your feet. If you're really in love with a pair that you'll know you won't be able to wear all day, make sure you have a backup pair that you can slip on during the cocktail hour and reception.
Hue
Take a look at a range of silver options and compare the hue to your other accessories. While most silver tones are visually identical, some silvers may appear more metallic, shinier, darker, or lighter than others. You'll want to ensure that the silver tone complements your gown and accessories as perfectly as possible.
