Bridal Shoe Shopping Tips Under £200
Prioritise comfort, not just sparkle
A stunning heel means nothing if you’re limping by the first dance. Look for padded soles, block heels or platforms, especially if your wedding involves a lot of standing, walking, or grass.
Match tone, not just colour
Ivory, bone, and white may sound interchangeable, but they can look very different against your dress. Take a fabric swatch to compare in natural light.
Break them in early
Wear your shoes at home (on clean surfaces) in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Your feet will thank you—and so will your photographer.
Don’t underestimate the high street
With brands like Dune, Carvela, Aldo and Kurt Geiger elevating their bridal offerings, there’s no need to compromise on style. Just keep an eye on limited sizing during peak wedding season.
Consider your hemline
Your shoes may be on full show or barely visible, either way, they should still feel special. If you’re going short or midi, opt for embellishment or texture to make them part of the look.
