Wedding Shoes | Offbeat Bride

This is Offbeat Bride's archive of Wedding Shoes posts.

We love dorking out on loud, bold, colorful wedding shoes. Because we don't think your shoe options should be limited to white heels.

It seems that for many grooms you have two options for footwear: you can go bland and formal, or you can wear Converse All-Stars. Now, don't get me wrong: I LOVES ME SOME CHUCKS. It's just that we've got 13 pages of grooms in Converse and not many options for grooms who might want something funky that's NOT Cons.

And so this week we take a break from women's footwear to bring you sweet-ass dude shoes. I tried to go for a range of styles — from oxfords and lace-ups to slip-ons and sneakers. There's even some blue suede shoes — and some sequins! (Fuck YEAH, grooms in sequined shoes.) That said, some of these fancy dude shoes are PRICEY…but I don't think it's fair that only the ladies are allowed to gawk at nice things, so I included the overpriced Italian options for the dudes who love to get FANCE.

Y'all know the routine by now. I like loud shoes — even the ones I could never afford or ever walk in. If you're looking for understated this week, you're not really going to find much here — this link might be better for you if you're looking for classy.

Today's collection of VERY LOUD SHOES includes probably a few too many Betsey Johnson and Iron Fist options, including this pair of leopard print shoes with a built-in heart, and some platforms that I really should have included in my skull shoes post a few weeks ago…

Whenever we feature a wedding profile where the bride was wearing Irregular Choice shoes (like this one!), commenters are always like OMG WUT. Irregular Choice shoes are OUT-THERE (to put it mildly) and if you're going for a more straightforward wedding ensemble, shoes like this can be the BLAMMO that to take your wedding outfit to the next level.

It's been a while since I did a skull-focused shoe round-up, and I know some of you are already scheming your Halloween 2012 weddings, so it's about damn time I got proactively ghoulish and focused on some skeletal shoes.

So, there have been posts about wide shoes. Check.

Posts about big shoes. Check.

Posts about shoes that are good for your feet? Well, here goes…

Maybe it's just Sostice coming up next week, but I am doing all I can to get as much light and sparkle and glitter into my life these dark days — and so this week, that means glittering shoes.

As always, I aimed for a range here — a range of prices, a range of heel heights, a range of style (well…sort of. It's always loud up in here) and a range of size availability. Toes crossed that you find something that makes your feet sparkle.

Every few months I take a break from the pumps that I love to look at and instead feature the flats that we all love to walk in. Brides have all sorts of reasons for wearing flats, from comfort-hounds who don't want to end their wedding day with blisters, to taller brides who don't want to tower over their partners.

Whatever your reasons for eschewing high heeled shoes on your wedding day, I've got options for you that are just as loud and funky and "Wait, did she really think someone would wear that to their wedding!?" as my shoe posts always are. Let's get freaky flat, shall we?

A lot of these shoes are, ah, high concept. If you're looking for timeless romanticism, look elsewhere. These shoes most definitely do NOT fit with simple weddings week. Jeffrey Cambell's shoes defy gravity, defy the boundaries of good taste, and probably defy your more conservative family members who would get a peek at this sticking out from under your dress and be all OMG!
