While all eyes are usually on the wedding dress, there are plenty of other important details that matter when it comes to rounding out your wedding day ensemble. Shoes are one of those details—no outfit is complete without them and they can make or break your look. They also hold a good bit of symbolism on your wedding day (you know, the whole "stepping into a new stage of life" thing), making them one accessory to-be-weds often put a lot of consideration into.

For many brides, white wedding shoes are the best option. Aside from the fact that white shoes naturally have a bridal feel to them, they will also go best with any white or ivory gown. Choosing the best white wedding shoe for the big day means also considering the style of your dress and the overall vibe of the wedding. If you've opted for a classic and traditional look, you may want simple white pumps. For a beach wedding with a boho gown, flat white sandals make sense. If you want your shoes to be more of a statement piece, opt for something more dramatic, like a heel with feather embellishments or plenty of beading or sparkle. To look a bit trendy, search out chic ballet flats or even a pair of fun white boots.

Of course, comfort also plays a part. Stiletto heels are nice to look at, but block heels are going to be more sturdy, stable, and durable—and will make it easier to tear it up on the dance floor. Low heels will add a bit of height without being too painful. You can always keep a pair of flats on hand to change into. Whatever you're looking for, we've pulled together a list of some great options for every style and every budget.

These classic satin pumps are a great choice for the bride going for a more traditional look. An embellished crystal brooch at the pointed toe adds some subtle sparkle that would balance out a simple gown.

Franco Sarto Pisabooty Booties

The white faux leather, square toe and rounded heel of these boots gives them a trendy vibe. Inspired by Italian architecture, this über-modern pair would pair well with a sculptural wedding dress or power suit.

Sam Edelman Linnie Mule

Sleek and chic, these slide mules are incredibly easy to slip on and off, which is especially useful if you're planning to switch up your footwear throughout your day. A pretty gold buckle gives this otherwise understated pair a more formal feel.

Journee Collection Vielo Flat

Low heel closed sandal with ankle strap and bow

If you want to wear a lower heel but still want white wedding shoes with a dressy feel, then opt for these. They have a tiny block heel that gives you just a little lift without any discomfort. The ankle strap and pointed toe make these very versatile.

Journee Collection Women's Mikki Vinyl Flat

Simply chic, these are a timeless pair of comfortable wedding shoes. The pointed toe and stylish trim can be worn with any wedding dress. Another thought? We love the idea of wearing these to a more casual civil ceremony.
