Spring has already knocked on almost every corner of our big country, which means it’s time to change your winter wardrobe to spring-summer.

Well, okay, if not the whole walk, then at least that part of it when the shooting for the wedding album takes place.
Today we are going to draw your attention to stunning spring wedding shoes. The-Wedding.ru has selected slippers in different styles and colors so that every bride can find a pair to suit her taste.

Shoes with flowers
Floral shoes are a great idea for a spring wedding. Combine them with a delicate flowy dress, a romantic jumpsuit or a fluffy A-line dress in white or ivory, and your wedding look will be perfect! You can choose printed fabric pumps or shoes with voluminous flowers, embroidery or appliqué. Particularly chic are watercolor flowers, as if painted on the shoes.

Lace shoes
Lace is at the peak of popularity, and shoes are no exception. Lace wedding shoes look elegant and romantic. You can play with a combination of textures and choose fabric shoes framed with lace for a wedding dress made of a smooth plain material. This option will look especially appropriate when paired with a satin dress or trouser suit.

General recommendations
When choosing shoes you need to be guided by certain conditions. A few words were said above about style and your preferences. Remember: wedding shoes in general should not be very different from the models that you are used to wearing on a holiday.
If you love stiletto heels and know how to move beautifully in them, you should take a closer look at this shoe format. Decor, color, texture - all this can be anything. The main thing is how you feel in high-rise shoes. Do you love boots, but your wedding ceremony is scheduled for the summer? Modern manufacturers offer a lot of options - made of textiles, with inserts, straps. Shoes for a bride in summer should breathe.
If you can't imagine yourself wearing high heels, a wedding is not the best time to try to keep it on. You risk getting into an awkward position, and if you are pregnant, causing serious harm to your health. Don’t overestimate your ability to stay in uncomfortable shoes for a long time.
Immediately choose the one in which you will be comfortable from the first try on. The maximum permissible “deviation” from the usual “norm” is plus one centimeter in heel height. Otherwise, you will have to wear it out for a long time, or abandon this model altogether. Feet swell in the evening, so the general rule for everyone who tries on shoes is to do it closer to the closing of the store.
Separately, it should be said about the bride’s figure and the shape of her legs. The choice of shoes is always a combination of model and anatomical features. A fuller leg may appear less bulky in pointed-toe shoes or boots. A rounded toe can add grace to the foot.
A universal option that will suit most brides is the model with an open nose. At the same time, remember about a neat pedicure and comfort in wearing - your fingers should be comfortable. Having a platform or heel places the weight on the forefoot.
Not everyone can withstand such a load for a long time, so when choosing a model with heels and an open toe, objectively assess your capabilities.
Pastel shoes
If white, beige, ivory are wedding classics, then these traditional colors are followed in the wedding gradation by pastel shades. Delicate and discreet, they nevertheless add zest to even the most classic bride’s look. Pastel never goes out of fashion, and in 2021 it has become an absolute trend. Muted, as if “dusty” shades are always appropriate. They can be found in nature, they give the eye a rest, and therefore pastels will fit perfectly into any image and style of a wedding.

Wedding boots for the bride
Completing a romantic look often not only defines the style of a delicate look, but also emphasizes practicality and provides comfort and confidence. Wedding boots in modern fashion are presented in a wide range that corresponds to the latest trends. Stylists offer not only classic, but also original fashionable styles:
- cowboy style
. A popular trend in recent seasons for an unconventional and extraordinary ceremony has been the rigid shape of a wide calf on a thick low heel with a slightly raised pointed toe. Cowboy models will always draw the attention of others to complete the look due to their contrasting design; - boots
_ A knee-length option is considered practical and reliable. The fitted style is perfect for a short or asymmetrical outfit, adding femininity and sexuality to the look; - platform
. A fashionable choice for the modern bride would be accessories with thick soles. If you are looking for a more practical option, then you should go with a straight or tractor platform. A combination of a thick base and heel will be more elegant and graceful; - ankle boots
. The shortened style is a stylish solution for both short dresses and long styles. Designers offer a lightweight option for the demi-season period, as well as insulated accessories for the winter.
Wedding boots without heels
Very often, confidence and comfort are on the same level as elegance and elegance of the image. In this case, flat shoes would be the ideal choice. These boots are irreplaceable under a wedding dress in winter, when you need to spend a long time on ice and deep snowdrifts. The external design is openwork, delicate, complemented by elegant trim or embroidery. For warmer weather, open-toed accessories are considered popular. In the cold season, it is better to choose closed and insulated shoes.
Lace wedding boots
The most beautiful and completely appropriate for a romantic outfit are accessories made from delicate openwork material. Lace boots for a wedding for the bride can be complemented with a satin ribbon-lace. A classic choice would be heeled shoes with a pointed or round toe. Lace is often not the main part, but a trim:
- inserts;
- stripes;
- applique.
A more durable alternative has become guipure, which is actively used in recent shows.
Wedding boots
For those who pay attention to the choice of accessories as a practical and reliable basis, the best solution would be models with a durable clasp. According to stylists, high lace-up styles are especially popular. This design will not only provide confidence, but will also look original and unusual. These boots are mostly relevant for winter weddings due to their closed shape and thick material. Similar models are represented by high boots, laconic ankle boots, classic shoes with heels, platforms, and flats.
White wedding boots
Light-colored shoes are considered traditional and unchanged from season to season. White boots for a wedding will fit perfectly into both a classic and non-standard look. To put on a delicate magical look, you should add opaque white tights to your ensemble. But if you want to focus on your shoes, it is better to choose a dress with a short or asymmetrical cut and a nude-colored accessory.
Black boots and wedding dress
Modern fashion increasingly insists on creativity and originality in creating a romantic look. A popular trend in recent seasons is adding black trim to a classic outfit. In this case, boots to match a wedding dress are relevant in a similar dark shade. In order not to overshadow the image, stylists offer shoes made of openwork lace, perforated leather with a large through pattern, as well as models made of suede, presented with straps or intertwined harnesses. Products with a black and white gradient and print on a white background have become popular outfits.
Nude shoes
Neutral nude shades have not gone out of fashion for several seasons. They are the very base and timeless classics that will always look fresh and relevant. Powdery, milky and nude shades of shoes are combined with a wedding dress of any color, from traditional white to bright and non-trivial.

General recommendations for choosing shoes for the bride
It is a mistake to assume that shoes can be hidden under a long dress, thus saving time on searching. A well-chosen pair of shoes makes the bride’s image perfect and complete, which is actually not unimportant for the celebration in general.
The dilemma that girls always have is: comfort or beauty? It is worth noting that for a long time beauty has not required such sacrifices as before. And convenience can now be even better than the universally recognized pretentiousness.
So, many stylists advise the following:
- If you already have the urge to buy beautiful, but uncomfortable shoes, then you should have a backup option, namely: low-heeled shoes or ballet flats;
- The choice to stop is on the sole, to which the foot is already accustomed. You shouldn’t take risks and practice walking in high heels some time before the wedding;
- Shopping is best done in the afternoon. Since the foot swells in the evening, and the shoes chosen in the morning can cause discomfort by the end of the day;
- You need to buy shoes a week or two before the wedding so that you can wear them on the big day and not be shocked: “What?! How to walk in this?!”;
- The color of the shoes should match the dress or accessories (if with a dress, then it is a tone or two darker; if with accessories, then the same color).
Remembering the decor, it should be said that if the outfit is not filled with jewelry, then you can focus everything on the shoes. If, on the contrary, the shoes should be left without flashy and catchy details.
This year, minimalism came into fashion, that is, the minimal presence of any kind of decoration on shoes. It should be practical and universal (not only for one holiday, but also for everyday life).
You can break the rules and not opt for classic snow-white shoes. If you want to experiment, go to the store for colored shoes. The new wedding season radically changes past fashion trends: we are returning from contrasting shades to aristocratic pastels.
At the top of color preferences in 2021 are soft shades of lilac, pale peach, cream, coral, rose quartz, spring sky. Also slowly but surely the mint color is returning, but not in all its glory, but only to give the dress a special tone.
However, the ever-living classics are snow-white, ivory and champagne.
Having chosen our color preferences, let’s move on to the main models of this year.
Sparkling shoes
“Shine bright like a diamond!” – a line from this song perfectly describes wedding shoes with rhinestones, sparkling stones and Swarovski crystals, shoes made of the now popular metallic leather and iridescent fabric coated with sparkles. Not every bride wants to sparkle like a Christmas tree, but adding a sparkle to her look in the form of glittery accessories is a great idea. Stylish and without going overboard!

On the wave - beach option
Nowadays, celebrations on the seashore or ocean are quite popular. This is understandable: fresh breeze, comfortable outdoor environment, peace and quiet. What could be more beautiful than getting married in heaven?
For a bridal look at sea, beautiful flat sandals are perfect. Beach shoes for the bride, in the form of flip-flops and flip-flops, are not suitable, especially if after the wedding ceremony a busy program with dancing and competitions is planned.
Bracelets made of precious metals, floral ones, etc. look attractive on the leg. In this case, you can choose a simple shoe model.
