High heels are the most commonly worn shoes for brides, and rightfully so. They are elegant, glamorous, and tie the entire wedding look together. But for some brides, they are painful and hard to walk in. Maybe you’re unsure about how you will be able to stand in your stilettos for hours on end without wanting to scream, or maybe you just don’t like wearing dressy shoes... Either way, you’ll be glad to know that pain is not always beauty.
Sandals have become a more common choice of footwear among brides in recent years, especially because bridal shoes can easily be hidden by the voluminous skirt of your gown. Whether you’re considering a change of shoes throughout the day or are avoiding pumps at all costs, take a look at the following sandals that embody comfort and elegance to help you decide which pair is most appealing to you.
