The easiest way to tick off your ‘something blue’? A beautiful pair of blue wedding shoes, of course. And with picks in every shade – from light blue wedding shoes to navy, royal blue and cobalt – we’ve selected some of our favourite styles of the season.
Ever since Carrie Bradshaw stepped out in those iconic blue Manolo heels in that episode of Sex and The City, we’ve been low-key obsessed with blue wedding shoes, and it seems we’re not the only ones. Even the most traditional of nearlyweds have been seduced by the idea of blue bridal shoes – and wedding shoe designer Charlotte Mills thinks she knows why.
“Blue wedding shoes are the perfect way to add a pop of colour to your wedding look without distracting from your dress,” she explains. “To see just a hint of blue peeking out from beneath a wedding dress is such a cute detail, and a lot of people love it.
“A pair of blue bridal shoes is also a great way to add personality to your look – plus you’ll easily be able to re-wear them after the big day,” she adds. “So many items you purchase for your wedding only get used on that day, so to choose a pair of shoes you love in blue that you can wear for other occasions is really special.”

With a heel just shy of four inches and pretty asymmetrical bows, they have everything you need to take you from aisle to after-party.

Manolo Blahnik Maysale Velvet Mules – MyTheresa
Another reason to wear Manolos… (as if you needed any encouragement!).
With their supple leather lining, cute mid-kitten heel and gorgeous velvet buckle detail, we don’t think the Maysale mules from Manolo Blahnik could be any chicer. These impossibly elegant pumps would elevate a chic sheath gown or a wide-leg trouser suit in seconds but look equally beautiful at a vowel renewal and on the stone steps of a registry office.
- Sizing: UK 2-9
- Expert take: These styles come in other colours too – if cobalt blue shoes for a wedding aren’t your thing, they also make the perfect wedding shoes in navy blue.
Navy Blue Wedding Shoes
For a registry office wedding or brides who simply love the wintry elegance of dark blue, these new-drop navy numbers are a chic nod to your colour scheme
Tilda Satin Bow Sandals – Monsoon
We’re obsessed with the sophistication that navy blue shoes deliver, especially when paired with white or ivory satin. This pair from Monsoon feature a cute satin bow and block heel that makes them perfect for dancing.

Harriet Mid Heel in Navy Suede – Emmy London
Everything bridal shoe designer Emmy London produces is timeless, and the Harriet d’Orsay-design heels are no exception.
Made to order from the softest suede, choose from either the delicate ankle strap with crystal buckles or (our personal favourite) the addition of silk-satin ties. Brides looking for light blue wedding shoes should also check these out in the label’s signature Powder Blue suede. A luxury purchase, but well worth the investment.
- Sizing: UK 2-9
- Expert take: The versatile style will pair well with all wedding dress styles, whether that’s a clean and modern ballgown or a pretty beaded number.
Satin Bow Sandals – Phase Eight
Heeled sandals are often the perfect choice for spring and summer brides, but a classic navy hue makes them worthy of a winter celebration too.
And since Phase Eight is on a role when it comes to blue shoes for weddings this season, we couldn’t help but include this stylish and versatile option in our edit. We adore the statement bow!
- Sizing: UK 3-8

Blue Flat Wedding Shoes
From balletcore to beach-worthy, these pretty blue flats are perfect for partying in

Bridal’s most romantic fabric isn’t just for the dress!

Daisy Blue Pearl Embellished Flats – Bella Belle
Set on flat shoes but want your feet to make a pretty statement? Pump it up with sparkles and cute-as-a-button floral details in these embellished flats from Bella Belle.
While all-day comfort is the priority (hello, supple leather padded soles), the 3D pearl flower and vine detail on these silk pumps will ensure these stand out on your wedding day and every other occasion thereafter.
- Sizing: 2.5-8.5
- Expert take: This gorgeous daisy detail is also available on other shoe styles and heel heights, in ivory. Note that some reviews state it’s worth sizing up from your usual shoe size.
François Sandals in Baby Blue – Pretty Ballerinas
If you can’t bear the thought of wearing heels but at the same time, don’t want to settle for a flat pump, these beautiful nearly-flat sandals from Pretty Ballerinas offer the best of both worlds.
We’re obsessed with the elegant, supple leather ankle strap and on-trend square toe, while the one-inch block heel is the perfect way to elevate baggy jeans after the big day.
- Sizing: 3.5-8
- Expert take: Not only are these perfect for walking and dancing in, but they look effortlessly cool. If you decide against blue shoes for your big day (hey, perhaps you decided on a blue wedding dress instead!), they also come in wedding-ready ivory.
Can I wear blue shoes with my wedding dress?
Yes! Blue wedding shoes look great with white and ivory, and are fast becoming a popular option for those who want to inject some personality into their look. You don’t have to go for an eye-popping bright blue (though that can look fabulous), this season’s pale and light blue shoe options look great peeping out from beneath a wedding dress and still feel distinctly bridal.
How do I style blue shoes with a white or ivory dress?
“Blue shoes look amazing against cool-toned ivory wedding dresses, as opposed to warmer tones like blush or champagne,” explains Charlotte. “Alternatively, if you’re choosing a real statement shoe style, why not show them off with a short wedding dress or a bridal dress with a split skirt? That way, your shoes will always be on show!
“If you prefer to make a statement with your shoe choice, keep your gown simpler and more classic, and avoid coloured dresses like champagne or nude tones,” she adds.
How to break in your wedding shoes
The last thing you want on your wedding day is to be hobbling down the aisle or avoiding the dancefloor because of sore feet, which is why we’ve compiled our top tips for breaking in your wedding shoes:
- Ensure they’re the correct size to start with. Sounds simple, right? But you’d be surprised at how many of us would settle for shoes that don’t fit particularly well. Check that there is enough room at the front for your toes to wiggle and the back of the shoe is not slipping or sliding at the heel.
- Wear them around the house. Since you probably don’t want to dirty your new wedding shoes by wearing them outside, slip them on when you’re indoors to begin wearing them in. Perhaps while you’re walking on the treadmill, or under your desk while you’re working from home. Remember, little and often is fine – you don’t want to give yourself blisters.
- Wear them with ski socks and blast them with heat. For heels that feel just a tad too snug, a pair of thick socks – or ski socks – is a great way to stretch them a little. Then, blast them with a hairdryer for a few seconds on each foot! This will increase the elasticity of the material and almost mould them to the shape of your feet.
