Floral Motifs Bridal Shoes
Floral prints are a great way to bridge the gap between traditional wedding shoes and sneakers. Typical sneakers possess a sturdy, athletic look. Adding printed or embroidered flowers will soften the look and offer a more feminin, delicate aesthetic.
This is also a very convenient option. Floral prints can be easily matched to your wedding’s color palette and even your real flowers.
Non-Traditional Wedding Shoe Boots
Wearing boots at your wedding is the perfect choice for rustic, boho and barn weddings or any outdoor wedding for that matter. Boots are usually very comfortable and easy to wear in all manner of terrain. One barrier to consider is the heat. Most wedding boots get rather hot which may not be ideal for certain months of the year.
