Sole Messages

Brides and grooms alike are putting messages on the soles of their wedding shoes. Everything from vinyl decals, rhinestone words, and handwritten messages adorn the bottom of wedding shoes. What a sweet trend! You can DIY it or get onto Etsy and find all kinds of options.

Personalized Sneakers

Wearing sneakers as wedding shoes is a fun idea in itself, but why not set it up a notch and personalize your sneakers too? This can also be a fun DIY project or you can find handmade shops that will make you iron on decals for your shoes.

“Something Old” Embellished Shoes

Playing along with the “something old” tradition, adding a piece of your mother or grandmother’s wedding dress to your wedding shoes is so special and so unique. Depending on the material of the shoe, it may just take a bit of hot glue to adhere the piece of wedding dress or veil to your wedding shoes.

Embellished Sneakers

Adding glitter or rhinestones or pearls or lace to your sneakers can really glam them up for your wedding day. You can even find fun shoelaces or pick out fun shoe colors to match your wedding colors! If you aren’t into making them yourself, this is also something you can order off of Etsy… or bribe your crafty best friend or future sister-in-law to do for you!

Barefoot Sandals

These are especially fun for beach weddings but they are definitely not limited to them. You can find these on Etsy and in some bridal shoe stores as well. There are so many different varieties to pick from, and you can have them custom made.
