Building a proper wedding trousseau is all about the details: staying true to your authentic style, and finding the pieces that intimately reflect that each step of the way. So while an after-party shoe is hardly your aisle dress, every little moment matters when you’re building your perfect day. Whether you’re up for keeping sky high heels on for the dance floor, switching into something more demure like a kitten heel, going a bit ‘60s in a block heel, or just committing to a great flat, we have the perfect after-party shoe for you.
The Best Wedding After-Party Shoes, According to Vogue:
Depending on the after party dress you choose, you may want a dose of color, like something blue from Manolo Blahnik (in heel or slipper form—we have options). Perhaps, you’ve kept things minimal in every other aspect of your wedding—including your bridal shoes—and are ready for some sparkle. Mix in some shine and sparkle, care of sequins by Staud, pearls by Jimmy Choo, or crystals by Valentino. Your dancing shoes can take many forms, from stilettos to strappy platforms; our edit is proof that comfortable wedding shoes don’t necessitate sneakers.
No matter the vibe you’re going for, shop 36 styles that will elevate your after party style to very chic places.
Heeled Sandals
If you’re a bride who likes a little heel height, look no further. From something silver by Mach & Mach, to a satin floral beauty by Magda Butrym and a sequin open-toe Staud option, these sandals offer a little lift.
Party Pumps
Sometimes a good shoe is the look. Case in point: a fringed pump by Dries van Noten, embellished mesh by Loewe, or luxe velvet in a comfy wedge courtesy of Alaïa. Let your shoes be the life of the party, one chic detail at a time.
Groovy Platforms
In life, florist bills, and platform sandals, the sky is truly the limit. While this form of bridal heels is great for a little oomph (particularly when your after-party look is a mini dress, or even a suit for the full ’70s effect), the other little secret of a good platform is that they are often incredible comfortable.
Festive Flats
There’s just something so demure and Audrey Hepburn-coded about a wedding flat on your big day—even if it’s just for the reception. Whether you embrace the classic white leather ballerina, or opt something bold and metallic, a flat offers that perfect blend of style and comfortability. (And we’d argue that these gold flats from The Row are every bit as fancy as a sky-high heel.)
Sleek Slippers
The time of night is somewhere between party and crawl-into-bed hours, anyway, so you may as well wear a little mule that calls to mind a hotel slipper. Options range from something jeweled by Manolo Blahnik to a little bit of ballet pink from Saint Laurent; but for something truly special, Jimmy Choo’s pearl-encrusted slides are the ultimate finishing act to your wedding day.
Pop of Color
In a sea of white, bring a little saturation into the mix. This is the moment to let your true colors fly—choose a shoe that brightens the whole affair and lightens the mood, like bold red Toteme pumps or baby pink mesh Miu Miu mules.
