Your wedding style should be true to you, and for some, that means leaving the heels at the altar—or forgoing them altogether.

Want to add a splash of glitter to your ensemble? Go for sparkly wedding shoes. Have a more classic sense of style? One word: lace. Or maybe you want something that's totally unique to your wedding? You can customize a pair that fits your personal style.
