The 22 Best Wedding Shoes For Every Bride In 2025
Bridal footwear so chic it might just outshine the dress
Finding the best women’s wedding shoe is harder than one might think. It’s not as simple as plucking the first pair of white heels you spot. In fact, we’d argue it’s almost as tricky as searching for your gown.
When shopping for bridal footwear – we hate to break it to you – the wedding dress needs to be secured first. Because while we’re normally here for a hero-shoe spotlight, the wrong choice could totally ruin your walking-down-the-aisle moment. And, no, we’re not being dramatic.
Ask yourself a few questions before hitting that ‘checkout’ button. What’s your hemline like? Is it so long that all you need is a supportive base, the lift of a platform perhaps, or will a flash of pearl-embellished toe peek out from beneath. What season will it be when you tie the knot? Because as gorgeous as a strappy sandal might be, you don’t want frostbite ruining your chic winter wedding aesthetic. The shade matters when pairing your footwear, too. Are you going for ivory, cream or pure dazzling white? Or do you want to throw everyone off with a sassy 'something blue' instead?

The best bridal shoe brands are reigning supreme for a reason. Jimmy Choo is the number one label brides are searching for in the UK, but Dune – the British high street legend that's undergoing a serious glow-up in 2025 – is not far behind. And who hasn't coveted a Manolo Blahnik Hangisi or Lurum in white? But if you want to separate yourself from the crowd, we'd recommend looking to cool labels like Neous, Magda Butrym or Loeffler Randall for that 'something new'. Or, throw caution to the wind with a laid-back bridal flat instead.
It pays to think beyond the big day when shopping for wedding essentials. If you invest in designer bridal shoes, the re-sale value on Vinted or Vestiaire is high, and you can always rent them on By Rotation (which now has a bridal pop-up in Mayfair). Alternatively, anything made from suede or silk can be re-dyed (look to Loom or SOJO) to ensure you get plenty of wear – there's nothing more unsustainable than a one-hit-wonder shoe sitting unloved in your wardrobe after the wedding.
Here are 22 of the best wedding shoes for women to shop now:
