Marrime's Advice For Choosing Wedding Shoe Heels
Your wedding day is the ultimate style statement – and while the dress takes centre stage, the bridal shoes you choose will shape not just how you look, but how you feel. From walking down the aisle to dancing at midnight, the right pair of bridal heels should combine elegance, comfort, and your personal style.
🤍
At Marrime, we curate a handpicked collection of wedding shoes – from modern block heels to romantic ivory sandals – to ensure every bride steps into her day with confidence. Here’s our expert guide to choosing the perfect heel height and heel style for your big day.
The Importance of Heel Height
Your heel height affects posture, gown length, and how comfortable you’ll be throughout the day. Here are the main bridal shoe heel heights to consider:
1. Flat & Low Heels (0–3cm)
For brides who value comfort and ease, flat bridal shoes or low block heels are timeless choices. They’re perfect for outdoor ceremonies, destination weddings, or simply if you want to glide through the day without worrying about sore feet. Ivory flats with delicate bows or pearl details can feel just as bridal as a sky-high heel.
2. Mid Heels (4–7cm)
A popular choice for comfortable wedding shoes, mid heels offer the best of both worlds: enough lift to elongate the leg and flatter your silhouette, while still practical for all-day wear. Mid heel bridal sandals and ivory pumps work beautifully with most gown shapes.
3. High Heels (8–10cm+)
The definition of bridal glamour. High heels create a striking, statuesque look – perfect for sleek fit-and-flare gowns or dramatic ballgowns. Choose a stiletto for sharp sophistication, or a block heel for added support. Just be sure to have a second pair of comfortable ivory shoes on standby for late-night dancing.
4. Platform Heels
The fashion-forward bride’s answer to comfort and drama combined. Platforms add height without putting pressure on the ball of the foot, making them surprisingly practical for all-day wear. A pair of ivory platform bridal heels feels modern, directional, and chic – especially when styled with a mini dress or second-look outfit.
Heel Styles & What They Say About You
Beyond height, the heel shape is what defines the mood of your bridal shoes.
•
- Block Heels – Stylish and stable. Perfect for outdoor weddings and brides who want to feel supported without compromising on elegance.
- Stiletto Heels – The ultimate in sleek sophistication. Best for indoor weddings and gowns with clean, structured lines.
- Kitten Heels – Retro chic with a modern twist. Ideal for Old Money or minimalist brides who want understated refinement.
- Platform Heels – Bold and contemporary. A confident choice for brides who want height, comfort, and a fashion-editorial edge.
Sculptural / Statement Heels – For brides who see shoes as jewellery. Pearls, metallics, and artistic shapes make your bridal heels a true style statement.
Comfort Is Key
Even the most beautiful pair of bridal heels won’t feel right if you can’t wear them for hours. To guarantee comfort:
•
- Break in your shoes ahead of the day.
🤍
- Use gel pads or cushioned inserts for extra support.
🤍
- Consider having a second pair of comfortable ivory wedding shoes (like chic flats or mid heels) for the evening.
