And the Pantone Color of the Year is … drum roll please … classic blue! “It’s a color that anticipates what’s going to happen next,” said Laurie Pressman, the vice president of the Pantone Color Institute. “What’s the future going to bring as we move into the evening hours?” she further teases about the shade. If you are tying the knot in the coming year, whether your “I do’s” will take place at night or not, why not incorporate this romantic, good luck hue into your wedding look as your “something blue”? We suggest donning blue shoes on your big day. What a fun nod to the tradition of something blue, as well as an unexpected twist on traditional footwear. Plus, there are so many options out there! We were getting giddy shopping the blue shoes a bride can pair with her gown, no matter her style. Read on to learn more about the vast array of blue slingbacks, stilettos and sneakers ready to walk you down the aisle in 2020.
Shopping for Blue Wedding Shoes
Tips:
The style of your wedding gown will dictate which blue shoes are for you. A simple gown pairs well with a look-at-me shoe, while a more ornate dress might look best with a less blingy heel. But hey, there are no real rules when it comes to your wedding-day footwear. If you love a certain pair, go for it! Consider comfort, too. If you select a stiletto for your walk down the aisle, consider changing into a lower heel for the dance floor. Finally, have fun. Shopping for your wedding shoes is the best part of wedding decision making if you ask us.
Blue Wedding Shoes Shopping Considerations
Cost:
Shop shoes in our roundup at price points between $100 and $1,000.
Color:
Classic blue is a rich shade similar to navy, indigo, or maybe even a French blue. No pale blue here! You’ll definitely be making a statement with your something blue shoes. Keep scrolling for the best picks for you.
Style:
From prints to lace to metallic blue and more, we have assembled a collection of shoes for every style sensibility. Whether you desire a conservative heel, a funky platform shoe, a sexy stiletto, or a delicate, strappy sandal, you’ve come to the right place.
Other Considerations:
A few styles run small, as noted in the descriptions, so consider ordering a size up.
