Your wedding day is near, and you've chosen the dress of your dreams, but deciding what shoes to wear on your wedding day may be a difficult task for brides. Your wedding day might be amazing, but it can also be exhausting, especially if you're wearing heels.

However, the days of heels as the only option are long gone. Flat wedding shoes are gaining popularity, and there's no need to sacrifice style for comfort when there are so many lovely bridal shoe ideas from Avalia Shoes. Read more to understand how to find the best flat bridal shoes for your wedding, irrespective of whether it's a formal, semi-formal, or casual affair.

Can you wear flat heels on your wedding?

Yes, of course. Flat wedding shoes are a natural choice given how important comfort is on your big day. From walking down the aisle to welcoming your guests to dancing the night away, you'll be on your feet for most of the day. The last thing you want to do on your wedding day is to end up stumbling in heels that cause blisters and painful feet. So, choosing comfortable wedding shoes is the most important.

If you're worried that flats won't appear as classy as heels, you'll be astonished at how many sophisticated, wedding-friendly styles there are to pick from. Give your bridesmaids the option of wearing flats as well, so that you can all relax and enjoy the big day.

What to keep in mind while choosing your flat shoes?

If you choose a classic long white gown for your wedding day, your shoes will be hidden, giving you more options when it comes to footwear. Low heel pumps, such as our classic SISSI in ivory, are a terrific choice because they're comfortable, basic, and easy to match with practically any dress style.

Consider your dress style, such as if it's richly embroidered and what fabric it's composed of. If your gown is satin, you may wish to pair it with satin pumps, or if your gown has diamanté and lace detailing, a pair of flat wedding shoes with a hint of toe glitter would effortlessly complement your gown.

While on your hunt for your perfect flat shoes, make sure to carry a photograph of your wedding gown, especially if it is in off-white, cream, ivory, or a similar colour. A photograph in natural light will help you to colour match with your shoe as nearly as possible. You may also bring a swatch of your dress if your dress boutique can provide one.

Bring a pair of flats to your dress fittings (even if they aren't your exact bridal shoes) so you can get your dress length just perfect – and prevent tripping over it on your wedding day!

Your venue

When choosing your footwear, keep in mind the type of event you'll be attending. Flat shoes and our beautiful sneakers are perfect for outdoor ceremonies on grass, cobblestones, or the beach since they keep you firm and prevent you from stumbling or fall. Flat slingback sandals are a perfect alternative for warmer summer ceremonies since they keep you cool and comfy all day.

How long will your celebration continue

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and it usually starts early with bridal preparations and finishes late after you and your guests have partied their hearts out. To avoid hurting feet, consider comfortable wedding shoes with cushioned soles and lots of give around your heel. It's also a good idea to have blister plasters and gel cushions for your bridesmaids in case any of you require them at the end of the day.

Allow them to settle in

When you first put on a pair of shoes, they can be uncomfortable, even if they're your go-to flats. Wear your wedding shoes for several hours a day for a few days before your wedding to soften the fabric around any initially tight areas and get a sense of whether or not they require any additional padding in the sole or around the balls of your feet.
