Flat bridal shoes – comfy yet elegant!
Finding the right bridal shoes is not always easy. It should be special, match the style and color of the wedding dress perfectly, or create a harmonious contrast. Above all, you should feel really comfortable in the shoe. Because no bride wants to let aching feet, chafing straps or blisters on her toes ruin her mood at her wedding reception. Flat bridal shoes are therefore the optimal choice if a high level of comfort is particularly important to you.
Today we'll prove to you with a few examples that flat wedding shoes can be just as elegant as they are comfortable and are in no way inferior to classics such as stiletto pumps, high heels or sandals when it comes to glamor.
Flat wedding shoes: The most important aspects
Flat bridal shoes play an important role in comfort and style at weddings. Here we will show you some aspects that can be relevant when choosing flat bridal shoes:
1. Comfort
Long periods of standing and walking: Wedding celebrations can last for hours, and the bride spends much of the day standing, walking and dancing. Flat bridal shoes provide the necessary comfort to enjoy these activities without pain or discomfort.
Preventing fatigue: High heels can quickly lead to foot and leg pain, especially if the bride is not used to high heels. Flat shoes relieve pressure on the feet and ensure that the bride remains comfortable throughout the day.
Better freedom of movement: Flat shoes allow for more natural movement and balance. This is especially important for brides who want to feel confident in their shoes as they walk down the aisle or on uneven terrain like a lawn or beach.
Relaxed Dancing: When it comes to partying on the dance floor, flat shoes are often the preferred choice. They allow the bride to move freely and enjoy the dance floor without having to worry about sore feet.
2. Style
Elegant options: Flat bridal shoes are by no means boring or inconspicuous. There are many elegant and stylish flat shoe designs that can make the bride look stylish. This can include classic ballet flats, sandals, loafers or even specially designed flat bridal shoes.
Creative accents: Flat shoes can have creative accents and embellishments that complement the style of the wedding outfit. These can be rhinestones, lace, beads or other decorative elements.
Versatile options: Flat bridal shoes are versatile and can match different clothing styles and wedding themes. They can come in different colors and can even serve as a contrast to the wedding dress.
Personal Expression: Choosing flat bridal shoes allows the bride to express her personal style. She can choose shoes that fit her personality and wedding style while feeling comfortable.
Overall, flat bridal shoes offer the opportunity to combine comfort and style, allowing the bride to feel completely comfortable on her wedding day. The right pair of flat shoes can help make your day more enjoyable without sacrificing style or elegance.
Most importantly, as a bride, you choose flat bridal shoes that she feels comfortable and confident in and that match her wedding look. The color of the shoes should fit harmoniously into the overall picture and correspond to your personal preferences.
What makes flat wedding shoes so popular?
Flat bridal shoes are a popular choice for brides for several reasons:
A main reason brides choose flat shoes is, as mentioned above, comfort. Weddings can be long and tiring, with hours of standing, walking and dancing.
Flat wedding shoes offer better stability and balance, especially for brides who don't typically wear high heels. This can help prevent accidents or falls, especially on uneven terrain or on the dance floor.
Comfortable dancing and freedom of movement: Brides who enjoy dancing appreciate flat shoes as they allow dancing without discomfort or pain. You can let off steam without restrictions on the dance floor. Flat shoes also promote more natural movement and easier walking.
Versatility: Flat bridal shoes are versatile and match different wedding styles and wedding dresses. They are available in a wide range of designs, materials and colors so that the bride can make the perfect choice. They can have decorative details, embellishments and accents that match the wedding outfit and complement the bride's personal style.
Feet Health: For brides who already have foot problems, such as flat feet or heel spurs, flat shoes are often a healthier choice because they reduce stress on the feet.
Styles & designs
There is a wide range of styles and designs of flat bridal shoes to suit the different tastes and preferences of brides. Here are some of the most popular styles and designs:
Ballerina flats: Ballerina flats are flat shoes with a rounded toe cap and a simple, elegant design. They are timeless and go well with classic wedding dresses.
Shoes with Lace Embellishments: Flat bridal shoes with lace overlays are romantic and feminine. The lace can be used as an accent or as the main material of the shoe.
Sandals: Sandals are airy and perfect for summer or beach weddings. You can choose simple leather sandals or those with elaborate embellishments.
Slingback Shoes: Slingback shoes have a strap that goes around the heel to provide additional support. They are a stylish choice and often feature embellishments or detailed accents.
Shoes with crystals or rhinestones: For brides who want a bit of glitz and glamor, there are flat bridal shoes with sparkling crystals or rhinestones.
Shoes with floral accents: Floral patterns or floral embellishments are popular in bridal shoes. These accents can give the shoes a romantic or playful touch.
Vintage Styles: Some brides prefer vintage-style flat bridal shoes inspired by decades past. This may include 1920s, 1950s, or 1960s style shoes.
Shoes with Color Accents: If you're wearing a colored wedding dress or have pops of color in your wedding outfit, flat bridal shoes in the same color can be a great choice.
Sparkly or metallic shoes: For a touch of extravagance, brides can choose flat shoes in sparkly or metallic colors, such as silver, gold or rose gold. They look great as an eye-catcher and a contrast to the usually light wedding dress.
Transparent Shoes: Transparent shoes are fashionable and can match different wedding outfits. They give the look a certain lightness.
Shoes with ribbons or bows: Bows or ribbons on shoes can look sweet and playful and give the outfit a romantic touch.
Bridal Sneakers: Sneakers are a modern and casual alternative to traditional wedding shoes. These shoes are specially designed for brides and combine the comfort and sporty style of sneakers with elegant and stylish elements that match wedding dresses.
Espadrilles: Espadrilles are light, flat shoes that have their origins in the Mediterranean region and are characterized by characteristic features such as raffia soles and summery design. Modern espadrilles can also be worn in more formal settings.
Find the matching flat shoes to round up your bridal look
Choosing the right flat shoes for your bridal look requires careful consideration and matching to your wedding dress as well as your personal style and comfort needs.
Consider what your wedding dress looks like and what type of flat shoes would go best with it. The color, style and length of the dress play an important role.
Also consider the style of the wedding: The style or theme of the wedding (e.g. rustic, vintage, modern) can influence what type of flat shoes fits best. For example, espadrilles or lace ballet flats go well with a vintage wedding theme or a summer celebration.
Think about the venue: The location can influence your choice of bridal shoes. If you're getting married on a beach or meadow, flat shoes are more practical than high heels.
Consider whether you want shoes made from a specific material, such as lace, satin, silk, or glitter. The decorations on the shoes should match the style of your dress.
Match the shoes to other accessories you will wear, such as a veil, jewelry, belt or bridal bag.
Set a budget for your flat bridal shoes in advance so that you stay within your financial means.
Try on a selection of flat shoes with your wedding dress to make sure they go well together and you feel comfortable in them.
Colour up!
Are you a big shoe lover and white seems somehow too boring for you? No problem - there is now a huge selection of colored bridal shoes that are as elegant as they match your wedding dress. Sandals or flats in gold or silver with a shiny metallic surface are particularly easy to combine. This contrast looks particularly glamorous and is a beautiful complement to the wedding white.
Pastel tones such as mint, rosé and light blue are also beautiful and ideal for many wedding styles. For particularly courageous brides, you can find some unusual models from Rachel Simpson in deep red, purple and green in our online shop.
High heel pumps and stilettos are still a must for many brides, but not every woman is used to or comfortable wearing heels. Many people also underestimate the fact that you have to stand and walk a lot on the day of the wedding: wedding ceremony, champagne reception, party in the evening, small talk in between and receiving congratulations from the guests. Maybe before or after a bridal couple shoot with the wedding photographer for atmospheric souvenir photos, not forgetting the obligatory wedding dance - all of this can put a strain on your feet in the long run, especially with high bridal shoes.
If you have wider feet, please also note: the higher the bridal shoe, the more you will slide forward into the toe cap, where the shoe becomes narrower. Shoes with flat heels give your feet more space.
Flat bridal shoe models are therefore becoming increasingly popular. Not only because they are gentler on the feet, but also because there are many brides who are tall or only slightly shorter or even taller than the groom, so high heels are out of the question.
Brides who get married in the peak season, i.e. spring and summer, often choose sandals because they are no longer just intended for the beach. In our online shop we now have a wide range of bridal sandals and elegant toe kicks. Here you will find both simple models in ivory, but also playful or opulent models with fabric flowers, rhinestones or metallic accents.

How to style your wedding flats in everyday life
Flat bridal shoes are extremely versatile and can be worn with both everyday clothing and formal occasions.
1. Everyday clothing:
Jeans and T-Shirt: Wear your bridal flats with jeans and a simple T-shirt for a casual yet feminine look.
Summer dresses: Flat wedding shoes go great with light summer dresses. This is a comfortable and breezy look for warm days.
Maxi dresses: A long maxi dress combined with flat shoes gives you a relaxed boho-chic look even after the wedding.
Skirts: Whether it's a pencil skirt or a flared skirt, flats complement skirts of different lengths and styles.
Shorts: Flat bridal shoes are a great choice for shorts, especially in the warmer months. Bridal espadrilles, sandals and sneakers are ideal here.

It's important to coordinate the colours and design of your flats with your everyday clothing or your formal outfit. This way you can ensure that your look looks harmonious and stylish. Flat bridal shoes offer you enough flexibility and comfort for a variety of occasions and outfits, thereby demonstrating real sustainability.
