Shop The Story
There are a slew of considerations when shopping for statement shoes to wear to your own wedding, but bridal shoe color is often the top concern. This, of course, is closely followed by a bride’s desire for stylish shoes to pair with her dress, but many wedding shoes for women (designer brands included) do not stand up too well to a full day on your feet and the dance floor. So, finding a pair of comfortable wedding shoes may also be at the top of your list of priorities.

Best Nude Wedding Shoes
Blue by Betsey Johnson Elisa Heeled Sandal
If you're a rock 'n roll kind of bride, Blue by Betsey Johnson is the line for you. We adore the Jessa Heeled Sandal, and not only for its showstopper embellishments like those sexy rhinestone-laden straps. And there's just something so striking about a "something blue" sole set against nude satin fabric. We suggest a Tiffany blue pedicure peeping out from the open toe to take these bridal statement shoes to the next level without breaking the bank.
