Why Choose Blue Wedding Shoes?
The “something blue” tradition has always stood for love, fidelity, and a little extra luck. While all classic sentiments, your interpretation of blue wedding shoes doesn’t have to feel vintage. Blue is the modern bride’s power move: bold enough to stand out, but subtle enough to complement lace, silk, or satin. A blue bridal shoe with a little extra sparkle like Athena makes for the perfect pop of personality on your big day. It’s unexpected, intentional, and totally wearable beyond the aisle: a total Cinderella moment that keeps you twirling across the dance floor far past midnight.
Shades of Blue for Every Bridal Style
Choose a blue that feels like you. From rich, moody shades of navy, to soft, whispery pastels, the right shade of something blue shoes can set your entire bridal vibe. While some brides want contrast, others prefer a minimalist subtlety. The beauty of blue wedding shoes? They deliver both, so the choice is totally up to you!
Soft Pastels & Baby Blue
Soft pastel blues and baby blue tones feel a love letter to your feet. They’re delicate, feminine, and effortlessly romantic. They bring a dreamy softness that pairs beautifully with lace gowns, airy tulle, and vintage-inspired silhouettes. For the bride who leans into elegance with a hint of whimsy, this shade is your sweet spot for dreamy something blue shoes.
Dusty Blue & Slate Blue
Dusty and slate blues bring a cool, refined edge to any bridal look. They’re the cool girl tones of the something blue wedding shoe spectrum. Perfect with neutral tones like ivory, champagne, and taupe, they add subtle depth without stealing the spotlight. A dusty or slate blue is totally ideal for the bride who loves quiet luxury with a touch of personality.
Bold Royal Blue & Navy
Royal blue and navy are made for the bride who’s not afraid to make an entrance. Rich, dramatic, and full of contrast, these deeper shades turn your blue wedding shoes into the ultimate aisle statement. They’re bold, intentional, and impossible to miss for the bride who craves a little extra spotlight on her “something blue”.
Types of Blue Wedding Shoes
Just like the perfect shade, the right style of blue wedding shoe is all about what fits your perfect day. Whether you’re a stiletto girl, a block heel loyalist, or all about the slingback, blue bridal shoes won't box you in. Up next: the silhouettes and pretty details that make your style (and your something blue) shine.
Blue Heels
Blue heels come in every silhouette you could dream of, from sleek stilettos to grass-friendly block heels. Go for a classic high heel if you want that timeless, elongated look (especially with a fitted gown or dramatic train). Prefer dancing without the drama? A sparkly but classic something blue block heel like Vivian gives elegance with extra stability – perfect for garden ceremonies, cobblestone moments, or the bride who isn’t as practiced wearing stiletto heels.
Blue Flats & Low Heels
Blue wedding flats and low heels are the go-to choice for the bride who’s all about ease without sacrificing style. They deliver all the charm, polish, and romance of a higher heel with bonus stability. Think graceful, not frumpy; effortless, not casual: like our 3d floral embellished blue wedding flat, Daisy! Perfect for courthouse "I do’s," all-day celebrations, or dancing from start to finish. A blue bridal flat brings tradition with ultimate ease.
Embellished Blue Shoes
Going for a main character moment? Embellished blue bridal shoes bring the good kind of wedding drama. Pearls, crystals, bows, and florals don’t just elevate the shoe. They add dimension, texture, and a hint of playful personality like Eliza: a whimsical blue wedding block heel with mesh toes decorated in 3D butterflies. No matter how you mix it, pairing color with embellishment makes every step feel intentional (and insanely photogenic).
Blue Sandals & Open-Toe Styles
Blue sandals and open-toe heels are made for sun-soaked wedding celebrations, whether you're getting married beachside, abroad, or in the outdoor heat. They're breezy, elegant, and the perfect excuse to show off your wedding pedicure. Think our blue floral jacquard platform sandal Catarina – she makes a statement while staying true to tradition. Strike the ideal balance between laid-back and luxe when combining wedding sandals with light fabrics, breathable mesh, and flowy silhouettes.
How to Style Blue Wedding Shoes
Style your something blue bridal shoes with a thigh-high slit, a flirty short wedding dress, or show them off every time they peek from under your gown. If you’re wearing them, they deserve to be seen.
Blue wedding shoes pair well with just about every dress a bride could dream. With classic white or ivory gowns, they offer either a soft hint of color or a bold contrast, depending on the shade. Pair them with blush or pastel dresses for a dreamy, harmonious palette that feels effortlessly romantic. And if your bridesmaids are in navy, champagne, or metallics? Blue ties it all together while still keeping the spotlight on you.
Blue Wedding Shoes Beyond the Wedding Day
The best part about blue bridal shoes is they won’t ghost you after the wedding. With their timeless charm and versatile edge, they’re made to be worn again from cocktail parties to anniversaries, or any night that calls for a little extra magic. Far from a one-day wonder, they're an investment piece that keeps showing up (and showing off) long after the last dance.
