Platform wedding shoes

There are two options for comfortable high heel shoes.  First, the bride can look for platform wedding shoes.  These are shoes with any sort of platform in front.  Some of them have a half inch platform and others have a platform that is a full one inch.  Because of the platform, a 4 inch heel will feel like a 3 inch heel.  This relives some of the pressure from the feet while still giving the bride the added height she is looking for.  Many platform shoes also come with a little ankle strap so that the feet don’t fall out of the platforms.  The other option is to buy a wedge bridal shoe.  The wedge heel shoes that are this high usually have a platform in front to make the shoe more balanced.  Again, this allows for more comfort.  On top of that, you have a lot more stability with the wedge, especially since the bride will be trying to balance herself in a heavy dress with really high heels.

Jimmy Choo high heel bridal shoes

For the bride that is used to wearing a high heel sandal, she has many choices when looking for heels that are 3 inches or more.  From pumps to t-straps to strappy sandals to bridal shoes decorated with lots of rhinestones, the bride can find almost everything she wants in almost every color.  Many designer wedding shoes are 3 inches or higher since stilettos oftentimes look better in that heel height.  From Manolo Blahnik to Jimmy Choo to Vera Wang, brides will find a wide variety of designer shoes.  Many of the popular stores such as Nine West and Charles David or department stores such as Nordstrom’s or Macy’s also carry plenty of shoes to choose from.

For the high heel bridal shoe, there are plenty of options.  Just don’t forget that you may be uncomfortable after awhile so make sure to buy wedding flip flops or something to change into when your feet start to hurt.

There are many different options for the bride looking for 2 inch or 2 and a half inch heels.  However, be aware that manufacturers tend to go higher, meaning 3 inches or more, or lower, meaning 1 inch or 1 and a half inch so the 2 inch heel is sometimes harder to find.  Many of the more comfortable shoe brands such as Naturalizer, Easy Spirit, or Aerosoles tend to make the 2 inch heels since their shoes are for women looking for comfort.  Sometimes, you will find some fantastic shoes in these stores.  Be sure to check during the summer when they have more sandals out or check their evening shoes area.  Otherwise, you will only find very basic pumps and then regular shoes.

Medium heel bridal shoes

Another option to look for in 2 inch bridal shoes is the mule.  This is an open-toe or closed toe shoe with a little heel in the back.  The closed toe mules are oftentimes pointed and the front is beautifully decorated.  The open toes usually have thin straps.  The heel in the back is either a more solid square heel or sometimes you will find the little stiletto heel that makes the shoe even fancier and more feminine.  Whatever style you choose, this option is great since it is easy to slide on under the dress and also allows for fairly good balance.

Wedge bridal shoes

The wedge heel is also sometimes a good option in this height.  The 2 inches is still pretty high, but on a wedge, it doesn’t look too bad or too noticeable, unlike a higher wedge where you can definitely see the entire wedge on the bottom.  Many fantastic sandals come with the wedge heel.  This heel also allows for better balance.  In the 2 inch heel height, the wedge bridal shoes usually does not have a platform in front.

Finally, the bride can look for just simple heels either pumps or strappy shoes. There are less options out there, but if you search, you will find something you like.   There are actually more pumps in this heel height than there are bridal sandals, but the summertime will offer more styles and choices.
