Trendy wedding shoes for 2026

How to choose shoes for your big day

The key is to make sure your wedding shoes complement the style of your wedding dress. Different dress silhouettes work best with different types of shoes.

For A-line dresses, we recommend shoes with a delicate heel or even ballet flats. If you are wearing a long, fitted mermaid-style dress, opt for high heels, which will visually elongate your figure and add even more elegance. For princess-style dresses, medium-height heels or wedges are a good choice as they provide greater stability. Your shoes should also match the overall style of your wedding. For an outdoor garden celebration, for example, we recommend wedges, block heels or even comfortable white trainers decorated with lace or pearls. Never compromise on comfort, though. You will be on your feet all day.

What makes wedding shoes special in 2026

This year, embellishments are taking centre stage in wedding footwear. The more elaborate, the better. Lace, pearls, crystals and various floral appliqués are all in style. Ideally, the details on your shoes should complement the embellishments on your dress.

Bows are one of the most popular embellishments of 2026. They have timeless charm, versatile elegance and suit a wide variety of styles. They can transform any wedding shoe into a statement piece and add a sophisticated touch. Bows can be romantic or playful, classic or timeless. Lace designs are another perfect choice when it comes to wedding shoes. The delicate texture of lace gives shoes an elegant finish. For spring and summer weddings, we recommend floral embellishments. Pearls are another beautiful choice that never goes wrong.

Don't be afraid of colour and express your personality

When it comes to colour, you can opt for timeless classics such as white or ivory. If you are a bold bride, however, do not be afraid to introduce colour into your wedding look. Metallic accents also remain in fashion.

Many brides are also choosing bolder shades. Blue, green, red and purple are moving into the spotlight. Feel free to coordinate them with your wedding décor or even with your evening reception dress. Bold colours give a wedding outfit an unconventional touch. Classic shades of pink, gold and white with a hint of beige also remain fashionable in 2026. Do you remember the colour of 2026 – Cloud Dancer? It deserves a place at your wedding too.

A little tip to finish

Make sure you properly break in your new wedding shoes before the big day. Wear them as often as possible and make sure they are comfortable and do not pinch anywhere.

If you find that your shoes do not fit well at all but you do not want to give them up, get a second, more comfortable pair that you can change into after the ceremony once the celebrations are in full swing. You should also consider the weather forecast for your big day and keep a suitable pair for wet weather as a backup.
