The shoes worn by brides at weddings are as varied as the dresses that are chosen. Some want comfort, some want high fashion, some want both. Brides have worn everything from ballet slippers, to stilettos, to flip-flops to sneakers.
Places like Zappos offer a whole line of wedding shoe choices. Some brides wear the coveted Manolos while others (like myself) find wedding shoe happiness from Payless!
I recently discovered that one of my favorite shoe companies, OKA b., has a bridal shoe collection. These "Juliet" shoes are adorable:
The bridal collection is offered mainly in white & ecru colors but OKA b. also has other shoes in a wide variety of colors and styles that could work for a bride or her attendants. For instance, the "Malia" shoe (my personal favorite, can you guess why?) in platinum would be a very fun shoe for a bride who wants simple, comfortable elegance or for her attendants who want cute, affordable shoes that they'll wear again.
Another great company to get high fashion, comfortable shoes from is Crocs. Yes, I said Crocs! I'm wearing a pair of YOU by Crocs shoes in my sister's wedding this summer (sadly that particular pair has been discontinued but I can assure you they are fabulous and comfortable!). This pair, in pale gold, would make a great wedding shoe and could be worn again for other functions.
If you are planning a wedding what are you looking for in a shoe? If you've walked down the aisle before, what was your choice?

Barefoot. Me and all of the women in the party.
I'm such a hippy. Actually, I'd been a bridesmaid 3 times that year and I couldn't handle another argument about shoes. Also, I wanted to be comfortable.
That's also a wonderful option!
A friend of mine's daughter just got married this month. She found some ADORABLE red patent heels. I wouldn' hav had the guts to do it, but they were perfect with her red roses!
Her bridal photos are gorgeous with those two pops of color.
That sounds really neat!
I wanted to go barefoot but I got married in Maine in January so I got married in brown cowgirl boots instead. Comfy and matched my personality.
How fun!
