The 17 Best Green Bridal Shoes for Your Wedding︱by Brides

Google “bridal shoes” and you’ll be met with a flurry of white and blush pink pairs. While we absolutely love those more traditional hues, there’s no rule that says you can’t wear colorful shoes on your wedding day. Some brides find their shoes make the perfect something blue, but other colors are totally on the table, too. Green is also considered a lucky color in color psychology, as well as in many cultures, making it a beautiful addition to any wedding. Whether you’ve always known you want to wear green bridal shoes or you’re just starting to explore the possibility, there truly is a pair to suit every style.

Since you want your shoes to still match the theme of the wedding, we spoke to bridal fashion experts to get their advice on what to look for when shopping for green bridal shoes. With their help, we researched options that are comfortable, easy to walk in, and made from durable materials, so you can wear them for the entire day, and well beyond your wedding. From crystal-embellished stilettos to delicate satin slingbacks, we set out to find the best pairs for all budgets, sizes, and styles.

What to Look for in Green Bridal Shoes

Shade

When it comes to green bridal shoes, there’s a big difference in effect between a grass green wedge and a pastel pump. “One shade won’t fit all with endless styles available to fit every personality,” says stylist Stacee Michelle. “Location, season, and theme of your wedding are critical to consider when choosing the best material, style, and shade of green.”

For instance, bright green shoes, like Revolve LPA Lace Up Wedge, make a particularly lovely choice for a country wedding as a nod to the surrounding nature. Sam Edelman Gemmie Heel, in a striking seafoam green, would look lovely by the sea for your beach wedding—as well as being a more discreet shade if you don’t want to completely do away with tradition.

Material

Same goes for your shoes’ material: A suede or satin will create a more traditional look, while rhinestones or metallics will make a bigger splash. The choice really is yours, though you should also consider your wedding setting as well—a velvet shoe like Porte & Paire Velvet Pumps is a beautiful choice for winter. For a warm-weather wedding, go for lime green leather sandals like Journee Collection Lenorra Sandal.

Comfort

Comfort should be your number one priority, according to Hartman. It makes sense: Nobody wants to be treating a blister on their wedding day. “Comfort is different for everyone, so be practical about what works for you and be sure to lightly wear in your shoes for your wedding day,” the expert suggests. “I recommend doing this by walking around in a very thin sock on a carpeted surface (to save the soles).”

If you’re worried about walking down the aisle in super high heels, stick to  block or low heels like, Jeffrey Campbell’s slingbacks. You can also opt for a heel made with extra cushioning like, Vionic Rosabel Heeled Sandal.

FAQ

• For Hartman, it doesn’t matter what shade of green you pick as long as it makes sense with the general aesthetic of your wedding. “It should be cohesive with at least one other element like your bridesmaids dresses, flowers, or invitations,” she says. However she cautions that you don’t want to be too matchy matchy: “Don’t match your shoes to your partner’s tie!”

  Meanwhile, Michelle notes that the shade you go for will set the tone for the day: A mint green shoe, like Naturalizer Lesley, will ensure you keep it classic while a bright shade, like Gianvito Rossi Satin Pumps, will help you flaunt your boldness.

• It’s your wedding day, and you should wear whichever shoes you please—even, or especially—if they’re not in a classic color. “I highly encourage a green statement shoe with the right wedding gown,” Michelle says. “Green represents a new beginning, pairs perfectly with ivory, and is an unexpected way to add playfulness and a feminine touch to your wedding day runway. Choose wisely, and they’ll work with multiple outfits well past your nuptials.”
