A beach wedding is a romantic, summery way to join two lives together. Beautiful weather, breathtaking backdrops, and an intimate group of close friends and family make this occasion an unforgettable experience.
Plan every detail of a summer wedding right down to your toes. We’ve got the best sandals for summer weddings to ensure every sandy step is as stylish and comfortable as a ballroom wedding.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Beach Wedding Shoes
No two beach weddings are the same, so the right beach wedding sandals should fit the specific occasion. When you’re choosing stylish sandals for weddings, be sure to consider these important factors.
-
Terrain: Is the setting mostly sandy, or will there be a walkway? Will you need to navigate rocks and twigs, and will you need to walk up and down hills or dunes?
-
Formality: Is this beach wedding more boho style or cocktail formal? Will sandals be out of place, or will everyone be in comfortable footwear?
-
Weather and Temperature: Is the weather temperate or warm during this time of year? Should you plan on open-toed shoes for a hot afternoon, or closed-toe shoes for cooler shores with a cloudy marine layer?
-
Tide: Is the ceremony far enough from the tide that you can wear more delicate wedding sandals, or should you plan on waterproof shoes?
If you’re the bride, you may already know most of these details. But if you’re a bridesmaid or wedding guest, it wouldn’t hurt to ask these questions before choosing your sandals for summer weddings.
Best Shoe Styles for Beach Weddings
The best wedding sandals are the ones that fit your particular occasion (and your feet). But if you’re looking for stylish options that feel comfortable in the sand, you’ll find just what we’re looking for in our Wedding Collection and selections below.
Jacks Flat
When it comes to comfortable wedding shoes, look no further than Jacks Flat Sandals. These leather sandals combine feminine fashion with beachside style, bringing the Jack Rogers signature vintage look to any wedding.
Available in white and hues that coordinate with wedding colors, these flat wedding sandals for brides, bridesmaids, and guests are crafted with Nappa leather and durable rubber roles. Choose detailed styles to make a more intricate bridal or bridesmaids dresses.
Jelly Sandals
Sleek and sophisticated, these jellies have been waiting for a proper comeback. Their lightweight style makes them perfect to wear as bridesmaid sandals, while a reimagined elegance elevates these footwear favorites to any beautiful bridal ensemble.
Detailed medallions and stitching make our jellies stand out among the dunes, while a hardy sole helps you navigate down a sandy aisle. They’re just right for that friend group who met when they were wearing their own jelly shoes back in elementary school.
Wedges & Espadrilles
For a beach bridal look that doesn’t skimp on style, choose espadrilles and wedges to add a little height to the occasion. Embroidered sandals with higher heels make a statement at a beach wedding with a paved walkway, while wedges and slingbacks add an artistic edge to your nuptials.
And if you want the heels without the hassle, choose wedding sandals for the ceremony and change into higher heels for the reception and photos. You’ll get the classic bridal look with the beachy splash of your dreams.
Slides
Some sandals are so luxuriously comfortable that slipping into them feels like a vacation. Bring this opulent feeling to an upcoming wedding when you choose white slides for a bride or matching bridesmaid sandals. Made with soft leather uppers that caress your feet all the way down the aisle, these wedding sandals might end up being your favorite shoes in your wardrobe.
Slides also make excellent sandals for wedding guests. Consider having pairs of slides available for guests to change into before the ceremony on the sand, as well as for the bride and the wedding party.
Crochet Details
For an extra special touch to your wedding sandals, find a pair adorned with lovely crochet details. White florals and delicate swirls bring a timeless quality to your beach wedding ensemble, no matter what style of heeled or flat wedding sandals for brides you’ve chosen.
Commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime moment with a stop at the Monogram Shop. Brides can add their new initials to their wedding sandals, or inscribe their bridesmaids’ sandals with their friends’ initials as a thank-you gift for participating in their special day.
