Wedding Day Heels
The classic bridal heel — clean, satin, exactly what you picture when you think "wedding shoe."
Rosha True White Satin Heels
A slightly sleeker toe shape than the Rosha if you want the same satin finish with less bulk.
KARSIN True White Satin Bridal Closed-Toe Heels
The off-white satin reads warmer against ivory lace than a stark white shoe would.
Cleo High Off White Satin Heels
Same bridal satin look, cut for wide feet — the pair I'd point wide-width brides to first.
PANDRO WIDE HEELS WHITE SATIN
A slingback strap that actually stays put through a whole reception, not just the ceremony photos.
Sam Edelman Bianka Slingback Pump | Women's Heels
The rehearsal-dinner or bridal-shower version of the Bianka — same comfortable slingback, dressier mesh upper.
Sam Edelman Bianka Slingback Pump | Women's Heels
No back strap to fuss with, which makes it the easiest shoe on this list to slip on between photos.
Sam Edelman Iva Heeled Mule | Women's Heels
An ankle strap for brides who want the security of a strap without a full pump.
Nine West Neve Bridal Ankle Strap Sandal (Women)
The tulle detail is the kind of small touch that photographs beautifully up close.
Pleated Tulle Bridal Slingback - HARLO Australia
Flats & Getting-Ready Shoes
My pick for the bride who wants to dance all night without a single blister.
REYES Ivory Leather Mary-Jane Ballet Flats
A simple white ballet flat that works just as well for the morning-of coffee run as it does for a quick reception change.
Sam Edelman Alie Ballet Flat | Women's Flats and Loafers
The Mary Jane strap adds a little polish so it doesn't read too casual next to a formal dress.
Sam Edelman Michaela Mary Jane Flat | Women's Flats and Loafers
The getting-ready-photos slipper — the "I Do" script makes it a cute detail shot before the dress even goes on.
Dearfoams Novelty Faux Fur Bridal Slide (Women)
Something Blue
An easy way to check off "something blue" without changing shoes mid-day.
Sam Edelman Michaela Mary Jane Flat | Women's Flats and Loafers
The velvet gives this one a richer, jewel-tone blue than most bridal "something blue" shoes.
Samedelman Womens Hazel Pointed Toe Pump Azure Blue Velvet
The T-strap makes this the most secure heel on the list if you're on your feet the whole reception.
Samedelman Womens Ozzy T Strap Pump Cape Blue Satin
A more budget-friendly satin blue pump to tuck under the dress for tradition's sake.
LARINA Blue Satin Square-Toe Stiletto Pump Lace ...
Bags & Clutches
Structured enough to hold lipstick and a phone without looking like you're carrying a purse in your wedding photos.
Serilda pearl handbag ivory satin
The pearl finish is a nice, subtle nod to "bride" without spelling it out.
LINZY HANDBAG PEARL
This is the bag I'd hand a bride for the morning-of — big enough for the whole getting-ready kit.
