A guide to wedding shoes for every type of bride

Find The Perfect Wedding Shoe For Your Personality

Between finding the perfect dress, planning details, and bringing your wedding vision to life, bridal shoes are often one of the last decisions brides make. Yet, the right wedding shoes matter just as much as the gown itself. They support you through every step of the day, from walking down the aisle to celebrating on the dance floor, and they should feel as beautiful as they look.

At Bella Belle, our philosophy has always been simple: every bride deserves wedding shoes that reflect her style, personality, and comfort needs. From romantic details and thoughtful craftsmanship to wearable heel heights and rewearable designs, our collection is created to suit every type of bride. Whether your style is effortless, glamorous, timeless, or vintage-inspired, this guide will help you find wedding shoes that feel truly yours.

Wedding Sandals for the Effortless Brides

For brides planning a relaxed celebration, whether a beach ceremony, garden wedding, or destination affair, wedding sandals offer a refined yet easygoing option. Open-toe silhouettes keep the look light and breathable, while thoughtful embellishments ensure they still feel special enough for the occasion.

Crystal and pearl details add just the right amount of polish, making wedding sandals a beautiful choice for casual brides who value comfort without sacrificing elegance. Paired with flowing gowns or modern silhouettes, sandals can feel intentional, elevated, and perfectly suited to warm-weather weddings.

Beautiful Heels for Glamorous Brides

Some brides love the confidence and presence that comes with a statement heel. High-heel wedding shoes create a striking silhouette, elongate the legs, and bring a sense of drama to bridal style. The key is choosing heels designed with comfort in mind.

Bella Belle heels are crafted with generous padding and soft leather linings, allowing brides to enjoy the height they love while staying comfortable throughout the day. From intricate embroidery to hand-applied embellishments, glamorous heels can feel both bold and wearable—perfect for brides who want their shoes to stand out.

The Classic Wedding Shoes for Timeless Brides

For brides drawn to enduring elegance, classic wedding shoes never go out of style. Lace details, refined bows, and subtle embellishments create a look that feels graceful and forever relevant. These designs pair beautifully with traditional gowns, minimalist dresses, and everything in between.

Timeless wedding shoes focus on balance, clean silhouettes softened with romantic touches, making them an ideal choice for brides who value versatility and sophistication. Many classic styles are also easy to rewear, extending their life well beyond the wedding day.

The Vintage-Inspired for Sentimentalist Brides

Vintage-inspired wedding shoes speak to brides who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and intricate detail. Influenced by Art Deco and early 20th-century design, these styles often feature closed toes, T-straps, delicate beading, and softly sculpted heels.

Beyond their aesthetic charm, vintage-inspired shoes are thoughtfully constructed for comfort, offering stability and support without losing their sense of romance. They are especially fitting for heritage venues, classic ceremonies, or brides who love a sense of nostalgia woven into their look.

Wedding flats are ideal for brides who want to move freely, change shoes during the celebration, or simply prefer a lower profile. With thoughtful construction and refined design, flats can complement both traditional gowns and contemporary silhouettes beautifully.
