Whether you\u2019re a bride, groom, bridesmaid, or a guest, there may be nothing better than a beach wedding. After locking down an oceanside venue and finding the ideal dress, the next step is to pick out the perfect shoes. Will the ceremony be right on the sand or looking out over the ocean from a nearby venue? In any case, for breezy beach weddings, sandals are usually the way to go.<\/p>\n

With beach-side nuptials, stilettos, pumps, and even kitten heels probably aren\u2019t the most practical option. And while you might end up taking some barefoot photos with your toes in the sand, we recommend getting at least one pair of women’s comfortable sandals<\/a> for the occasion. Not only will a pair of comfortable walking sandals<\/a> provide support, but they\u2019ll also complement the seaside theme.<\/p>\n

The best weddings end with hours of dancing, and you shouldn\u2019t have to sit out for any songs on your special day because your feet hurt. That\u2019s why selecting supportive footwear<\/a> is an essential part of planning a wedding. So, what are the best beach wedding sandals? At Vionic, we\u2019re experts in all types of comfortable, supportive shoes, including sandals for special occasions. Consider this your guide to shopping for beach wedding sandals.<\/p>\n

Sandals for Beach Wedding: A Complete Guide<\/h2>\n

The perfect wedding shoes will depend on the theme, venue, and your personal style.

For a destination wedding, the aesthetic might be more tropical. No matter what the vibe is, the perfect beach wedding sandals are out there.<\/p>\n

Beach Wedding Sandals for Bride<\/h3>\n

As a bride, you want every last detail of your dream wedding to be flawless, and this includes your footwear. Many brides opt for sandals on their wedding day, even if they don\u2019t tie the knot at the beach. While some are more formal than others and might be better for an indoor celebration, there are plenty of types of sandals to choose from.When it\u2019s your wedding, you get to set the tone of the dress code.<\/p>\n

For a laidback and carefree look, you may want to wear flat bridal sandals. But just because your flats aren\u2019t elevated, it doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t look the part. You can find flat bridal sandals with pretty embellishments and chic detailing, as well as simpler designs that won\u2019t distract from your wedding dress. Our Farra Sandal<\/a> comes in an elegant cream color with a comfortable sole that will keep you supported as you dance the night away. With metallic detailing, you\u2019ll have just enough embellishment to complete your bridal look when wearing these flat bridal sandals.<\/p>\n

If your wedding is more casual and it\u2019s on a sandy beach, there\u2019s no shame in rocking flip-flops or other flat shoes. That being said, you might want to consider a contoured toe-post flat sandal, like our Bella Toe-Post Sandal<\/a>, which will have a similar design and way more support than your typical flip flop. Just keep in mind that with a flatter sole, you might be dealing with sand in between your toes. Of course, this comes with the territory of a beach wedding\u2014literally.<\/p>\n

Do you want to wear taller shoes to complement your wedding dress? If so, the best beach wedding shoes for brides are wedge heels<\/a> or platform sandals. If you\u2019re wondering how to wear wedges<\/a>, there are many ways to do so, even with a wedding dress. Unlike other types of heels<\/a>, wedges and platforms won\u2019t sink into the sand, which you definitely want to avoid when walking down the aisle. We love the look of cork, wood, and leather-bound rubber soles, as well as espadrilles<\/a>. Now you may be wondering, what are espadrilles<\/a> and why are they a good option? Espadrilles sandals, like our Ariel Wedge Sandal<\/a>, are a simple, versatile shoe that provides an effortless beachy look. They will be perfect for both style and comfort on your special day.<\/p>\n

Oceanside Wedding: Block Heels<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re getting married on an oceanside deck, a grassy lawn, or an otherwise non-sandy platform, block heels can also be a great option. They come in varying heel heights, different strap designs, and endless colors. Block heels are comfortable yet elegant, and they\u2019ll keep you steady on your feet for your big day. The Peony Heeled Sandal<\/a>, is a versatile pair of block heels that can be worn for either a casual or elegant oceanside summer wedding.<\/p>\n

Whether you go for flat sandals or an elevated option, make sure you take the height into account at your dress fittings. If you remove your shoes for pictures, will your dress drag in the sand? Where will the hem fall when you wear wedges versus flat sandals? Bring your shoes with you for your fittings and discuss your plans to keep them on or off with your tailor. In most cases, there\u2019s a happy medium hem length that\u2019ll work for all scenarios.<\/p>\n

Beach Wedding Sandals for Bridesmaids<\/h3>\n

As we mentioned above, some beach weddings plan for a barefoot walk down the aisle or barefoot photos splashing in the tide. And yet, each bridesmaid should still have a designated pair of shoes for the wedding. Bridesmaid sandals won\u2019t necessarily be different than bridal footwear in terms of style.<\/p>\n
