I’d tell you something I figured out when I was planning my wedding; picking out wedding shoes is not as easy as it sounds. I remember how long it took me to find my wedding shoes and what really sucks is the fact that I hardly wear them today. If you know Knotsvilla very well, you’d know this blog preaches a lot about using re-wearable items for your wedding, so it doesn’t seem like a “waste” after the big day. So today, I write not just to throw some very pretty shoes in your face but to educate you about the types of wedding shoes and how to select yours. I looked through real weddings of Knotsvilla and studied the wedding shoe choices for each bride, such a wide variety! Here are 6 different types of wedding shoes and read below 3 key points to consider when selecting your wedding shoes. Flats are shoes that typically do not have any heel height. A common style are the Ballet Flats which are usually closed-toe flats modeled after the shoes worn by ballet dancers.

Flats are an easy option to look feminine and chic without adding height. Wedges are shoes with heels that extends from the back to the ball of the shoe, laying flat on the ground.

Peep Toe shoes are open toes shoes where the openings are much narrower than usual. Open toe shoes are available in all heights, heel widths and styles. They can be open or closed back, but always show a peek of your pedicure.

Also available in all heights, heel widths and styles. Pumps are a common style of closed toe shoes which are typically characterized by a medium or high heel.

Pumps are typically completely enclosed.

Most of these shoes come with both open backs and open toes but a few have closed toes as well.

The strap is typically elastic or buckled for adjustment. The straps could be behind the heel or ankle. Straps can be elastic or adjustable with belt-buckle closures.

Boots are shoes that cover the entire foot and extends to the height of the anklebone or as high as the thigh. Mid-length and ankle boots are most common for weddings. They are comfortable and come in a wide range of styles.
