Whether you're getting married via an adventure elopement in the mountains, hosting a very rustic outdoor celebration or trekking through the rainy Pacific Northwest for an intimate ceremony, dainty high heels just won't cut it. Instead, opt for a pair of cute wedding hiking boots. Stylish enough to be worn under a dress but functional enough for outdoor activities, a great pair of white hiking boots is a fun way to stay comfortable and show off your personality—and the light color can also offer more of a bridal vibe. Even better? They're something you can wear long after the wedding is over, making them worth the money. Below, we've handpicked some practical hiking boots for a wedding that are pretty enough to pair with a dress.
