Dressing up doesn't always have to involve heels.
We get it: Sky-high stilettos aren't for everyone. For a day as busy as your wedding, we totally understand prioritizing comfort and going for flat wedding shoes instead of high heels.

Need visual proof? We've curated our favorite wedding flats that are special enough for your entire day, especially if you're getting married outdoors or planning to let loose on the dance floor. Kick your feet up and shop our picks, below.
