Investing in a pair of designer wedding shoes is, for many brides, more important than spending on their wedding dress. Planning your big day (when everyone else in the world seems to be doing the same) is stressful – and from finding the perfect gown to finalising your guest list and hunting down a thoughtful mother of the bride gift, it might feel like all the fun has been taken out of planning the biggest day of your life. But finding the perfect pair of designer bridal shoes, whether you’ve got dreams of wearing Aquazzura, Gianvito Rossi, Stuart Weitzman or Sophia Webster, is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

If you're saying “I do” in 2022 and have a little bit of money left in your wedding pot (or you’re a total shoe addict and see no better thing to blow the budget on), designer wedding shoes are a great investment. Not least because, if you chose the right pair, they will easily transition into the rest of your wardrobe as you enter into married life – and become a staple partner to your summer dresses and high waisted jeans. Instead of buying a pair of shoes that you’ll only get to enjoy for a few hours (like so many parts of a wedding), designer wedding shoes are a purchase that you get to wear time and time again. Think of those Jimmy Choo slingback pumps as an investment for your future self.

In a bid to find the most stylish designer wedding shoes (which will go with every style of wedding dress - even high street styles), we’ve spoken to designers and luxury fashion retailers to find the latest drops and most timeless classics. It’s a hard life, but someone has to do it. The result? A carefully compiled edit of the only designer wedding shoes you should consider buying – no matter your style.

A pair of embellished Manolo mules in ivory (and blue, to act as your “something blue”) would be our top choice – while these tulle and ribbon Christian Louboutin heels, inspired by the elegance of Spain's annual film awards, are cut in an elegant toe-point silhouette. Swoon. If your wedding dress (and overall style) is more minimalist, these patent leather Saint Laurent sandals will fit your aesthetic perfectly, as will these jacquard pumps from Tom Ford. Not a fan of wearing heels? You're not alone. Our edit also includes flat wedding shoes that you can dance the night away in, from the most nuptial worthy brands like Roger Vivier and Mach & Mach and Prada. Yip, the gangs all here.
