Wedding dress? Check. Jewelry? Check. Shoes…? Well, not to worry –we've rounded up some fabulous bridal footwear options for your special day in paradise! Check them out below

Beachy Espadrilles

If you're not much of a heels gal, then espadrilles are the way to go! Not only do they make for an easy stride down the aisle, but they're also super elegant and comfortable. A woven-jute heel with canvas ties also gives off an ultra-beachy and carefree vibe –perfect for our brides getting married on the sand!

Boho Sandals

Where are our boho brides at? This jeweled thong sandal is for you! The vintage-inspired rows of hand-beaded crystal jewels and onyx-like stones add a bit of glam to your beach wedding… without being too flashy. Great to re-wear as a dressy evening sandal or even a summer night out after your wedding day!

Romantic Ballet Flats

For our romantic and girly bride, these ballet flats are for you! The embroidered ivory lace intertwined with vines on a nude-colored mesh will pair well with any destination wedding gown. They also have supportive ankle straps, making it easy to get jiggy on the dance floor!

Chunky Heels

If you can't part ways with your beloved heels, a chunky heel is the perfect compromise! This pair in particular, offers a modest heel and open- toe style, as well as a touch of bling to make your gorgeous wedding attire pop! We especially love the ivory tie closure, which really softens the look!
