There is no denying that comfort is essential when it comes to dancing after your wedding ceremony, but what about walking down the aisle? Whether you're planning an outdoor destination wedding or simply know that your feet can't stand strappy heels for hours on end, there are plenty of stylish bridal trainers that can take you from the aisle to the honeymoon and beyond—from sleek minimalist slip-ons to tried-and-true canvas high-tops.

When looking for the perfect pair, look for options that provide long-lasting materials, support, and comfort. After all, that's the point of wearing trainers on your wedding day! You should also consider your wedding venue and location. Will you be making your way down the gangway on grass, sand, or rocky ground? If this is the case, look for weather-resistant footwear. Once you've figured out the logistics, look for styles that go well with your wedding gown or second reception outfit, as you'll want options that enhance your overall wedding theme and aesthetic.

What Should You Look for in a Wedding Sneaker?

Although sneakers are a more casual wedding shoe option, many of the traditional footwear rules still apply. The terrain of the venue should be considered, as rougher environments (such as woodlands) can snag more delicate materials such as lace, and grassy areas may stain canvas or other fabrics.

If you're considering some of the platform options on our list, keep in mind that the extra height (even if flat-soled) may pose a problem in uneven or rocky terrain. We would also recommend performing a squeak test to ensure that your footwear is not too noisy on indoor floors. Here, comfort should be non-negotiable. When you have so many options, don't settle for insufficient arch support or ill-fitting widths.

FAQs

Is it acceptable for a bride to wear sneakers under her gown?

Go for it if that's what makes you happy! Sneakers can be considered wedding-appropriate if you believe they are, and this does not only apply to bridal jumpsuits and pant sets. What matters is that you feel comfortable and confident on your wedding day, and if that means wearing trainers under your sparkling ballgown or a simple slip dress, that's fine with us!

When should you put on your wedding sneakers?

Some brides choose to walk down the aisle in trainers, while others change into them for their second look or after-party. In any case, trainers are a great and comfortable option for dancing at your wedding reception. Furthermore, they can make for interesting and adorable wedding photos with your new spouse.
