Flat wedding shoes come in many different styles and choices. Women have so many things to do before their special day including finding the perfect pair of shoes to wear during the wedding ceremony. Shoes that look beautiful and feel great are what every bride hopes to find.

The typical wedding day can start early for the bride. She can plan on spending many hours on her feet that day. Worrying about the pain and pinch of high heels makes the flat wedding shoe a great alternative. Comfortable, fashionable wedding shoes that are flat in design are a favorite choice for brides. Flat wedding shoes come in a few different categories.

Wedding Ballet Flats

Ballet flats are the most popular of the flat wedding shoe. They come in more color choices, embellishments, and customization options than any other wedding shoe. Fabric choices for the flat wedding shoe might include satin brocade, velvet, leather and lace. A ballet flat is more structured and sturdier than a ballet shoe or slipper. The sole is thicker which makes it perfect for walking outdoors.

Ivory Satin Wedding Flats

These are the traditional-type wedding shoe. Ivory satin is beautiful and elegant. These special shoes match perfectly with wedding dresses that are a softer shade of cream, ivory, or eggshell white. Brides who choose Renaissance-inspired gowns look especially beautiful in Ivory satin shoes.

Wedding Flip Flops

Yes, there is such a thing as a wedding flip-flop! These specially-designed shoes are worn by brides who decide to get married on the beach. Wedding flip-flops can be made in many different fabrics; some of which have straps made in silk, satin, or taffeta. The flip-flops can be decorated with Swarovski crystals, pearl beads, rhinestones, sequins, and other shiny, shimmery embellishments.

Wedding Ballet Shoes

The ballet shoe worn at weddings can range from white satin ballet slippers to gold and silver slippers in leather. These slippers are different from the ballet flat in that they are a true ballet slipper with elastic across the instep and very thin soles. Having wedding ballet shoes on is very similar to going barefoot. The wedding slipper can be much more delicate than the flat, but the ease of getting satin slippers dyed-to-match makes them perfect for brides and flower girls.

As you can see, there are a lot of choices to make when it comes to choosing a flat wedding shoe. A woman's wedding day is the most special day of her life. The shoe she wears during her ceremony becomes a treasured part of her wedding memories.
