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.

Even if you're going for non-floral centerpieces, non-floral bouquets, and boutineers made from children's toys, you can still get a little flower power into your wedding day.

I've included a pretty wide range of floral-print styles here — ranging from traditional pumps to Doc Martens, and heel heights ranging from flats to wedges. I've got a lot of floral blends, too — meaning some floral/polkadot mixes, floral/stripe mixes, and even one floral/skull mix.

Some of you who've been around for a while might remember my "Your favorite shoe" posts. Here's how they work: when you buy shoes from one of my shoe posts, I can see what you buy. No, not you SPECIFICALLY, but y'all in general. I don't know who buys what, but by looking through my records, I can see which shoes y'all love the most.

We've talked about how prom dresses can make great wedding gowns, but what about prom SHOES? Like prom dresses, prom shoes are often at a lower price point than anything with the word "wedding" attached, and they also tend to be a bit more playful and sparkly than the more chic stuff targeted at brides.

But you know what? I like playful, sparkly, and inexpensive (and I know some of you do too) so let's take a look at some prom shoes and sandals that could kick ass for your wedding day. We've got some rainbow sparkles, lots of bows, and even a couple pairs of flip-flops…

It's only been a few months since my last polkadot wedding shoes post, but people: spring 2012 has been KIND to lovers of the dots.

Below, I've got polkadot heels and wedges, flats and booties, Oxfords and sandals.

As is increasingly the case with my shoe posts, things get weirder and weirder toward the bottom. I'mma start with some gentler black and white options, some nice tan dots for those of you who don't want to blind your guests…but we're going to close with dot/floral mixes, platforms with polkadots and skulls, and other spotty freakery.

Something old, something new; something borrowed, something GREEN. (Yes, green.)

This week's shoe post is going to drill down into the world of bright green shoes. Not emerald hues, but the bolder shades like grass green, chartreuse, and even almost-yellow spring green. Why? Because it's spring, and my toes need to remember.

few weeks ago on the Offbeat Bride Tribe, there was a LOT of talk about these sweet-ass super-affordable heels, with one member gushing "They're actually comfortable… AMAZING." Added bonus? They're now on sale for $30!" (Although only available in sizes 9-12 — awesome for our bigger-footed sisters!)

Inspired by these purple-strapped beauties, I decided to dive head-first into Zappos in search of other purple shoes for you brides who are going the royal-hued route for your wedding feet. I've got heels, wedges, a couple boots, and lots of flats.

(Oh, and the shoes get weirder toward the end of the post — you're welcome!)

Every once and a while I like to dive down into one specific shoe brand to get a feel for how they might fit for all sorts of different brides. This week, it's Rocket Dog shoes. Many of their styles are on the more casual end of the spectrum, perfect for beach brides or backyard weddings, but they've got a few heels that still have that high-style boomPOW for a more formal affair.

Of course, because it's me, there are several rainbow-striped shoes involved… but I think what y'all are going to like best is that NONE of these shoes is over $60.

It almost seems like it's a required response: I'll do a shoe post about something (wedges, platforms, boots, whatever) and the response will be "WHAT ABOUT FLATS!?"

Yes. What about flats?

We've got pages and pages of posts about wedding flats, but based on comments I receive, they're clearly the wedding shoe that seems to get the least love. EVERYONE WANTS MORE FLATS.

So this week: FLATS!
