What shoes for a wedding?

Attending a wedding (or being the star of one!) is always a special, emotionally charged moment. In an age where "dressing up" is an increasingly rare expression, choosing the right clothing and accessories for our seasonal celebrations is crucial. Whether you're the bride or groom, best man, or guest, choosing wedding shoes is no easy task, but by following a few simple tips, you'll be able to dance the night away without feeling restless.

Are you the bride? Pay attention to comfort!

It is strongly advised not to fall for your first crush, that sublime pair that you don't know how to walk in or that isn't exactly your size but is on sale at 50% off... Let's not forget that it is essential to be comfortable in your wedding shoes. Our first piece of advice: don't buy your wedding shoes at the last minute because it's best to wear them several times (and several hours) before the big day in order to break them in. Our second piece of advice is to choose quality genuine leather, which will be durable and flexible. Regarding the shape of the shoe, if the height doesn't scare you, don't hesitate to opt for heeled sandals, like our strappy heeled sandals in cream or gold metallic leather that combine retro style and ankle support, or for quality high-heeled pumps. The white that was previously de rigueur is now giving way to cream, nude pink or gold tones for a brighter and less classic touch.

For brides who are not at all comfortable in heeled sandals, who are very tall and/or have a slightly shorter husband, ballet flats (often invisible under a long dress) can be a refined and comfortable option.

And for those who aren't into dresses or simply want to stand out on the big day, you should know that getting married in pants, a jumpsuit, or a pantsuit is irresistibly trendy! Eco-friendly companies like the French brand 17h10 have even emerged to offer an elegant and modern alternative to the traditional wedding dress. And what shoes should you pair pants with, you ask? High heels!

Are you invited? Yes or no to high heels?

As a guest, the first thing to consider when choosing wedding shoes is the formality of the event. If the wedding is very formal, you may want to opt for high-heeled shoes, such as our timeless leather or suede heeled sandals, available in a variety of colors. With their 7 cm heel, they offer the elegance and ideal height for a wedding outfit while remaining stable and extremely comfortable for year-round wear. For an even more minimalist and glamorous look, our new sleek heeled sandals in metallic or patent leather will make a splash!

If the wedding is more casual, you can opt for shoes with a small or medium heel, for a chic effect without much risk of feeling "dressed up." Our pink leather mid-heel sandals, for example, are an excellent choice for a "wow" effect at a summer wedding, thanks to their very bright metallic color. Try them with a flowing skirt or ankle-baring pants for a trendy bohemian look.

If the party is more on the trendy side, our retro-inspired platform sandals also offer an ultra-feminine and statement-making alternative. And they also come in orange!

Also, our new cut-out pumps enhanced with a stable 7 cm heel will enhance your figure without compromising on comfort... Who can beat that?

And for the guys?

For men, whether you're the groom or a guest, the event is sure to be a success if your shoes match perfectly with your outfit. Once again, several factors come into play when choosing the perfect pair. The secret? Prioritize comfort and elegance.

If the wedding is more formal, opt for high-quality leather shoes that will complement your outfit. Oxford shoes, for example, are a classic in men's formalwear, and the Blake construction of their leather soles also makes them very durable.

If the wedding is more casual, beautiful white lace-up sneakers paired with a suit (Brad Pitt style on the red carpet) can also be a hit at the town hall!
