Whether you're walking down the aisle or dancing under the stars, the right pair of wedding shoes makes all the difference. At Jack Rogers, we believe in blending timeless style with all-day comfort—because every moment of your wedding day (or someone else’s!) deserves to feel effortless. From flat wedding sandals for brides to kitten heels perfect for the dance floor, here’s your go-to guide for the best sandals for summer weddings.
For Brides
Your wedding day look isn’t complete without a stunning pair of shoes. From beach ceremonies to garden parties or traditional church weddings, these bridal shoes (flat and heeled!) offer beauty, comfort, and just the right amount of dazzle.
Flats
If you’re saying “I do” in the sand or simply want to prioritize all-day comfort, flat wedding sandals for brides are a smart and stylish choice. The iconic Jacks Flat Sandals are a bridal favorite thanks to their timeless design, ease of wear, and availability in elegant white and metallic colorways. Fantastic for beach weddings or outdoor ceremonies, they offer effortless elegance without the heel.
Bows
There’s something undeniably romantic about a bow-adorned shoe. Whether it’s a delicate knot or a bold statement, bows are a beautiful choice for brides who want to add a playful, feminine detail to their big day. Jack's bow-accented sandals and heels come in a variety of heel heights, making it easy to find a pair that fits your comfort needs while still feeling wedding-day special.
Custom Embroidery
Make your moment extra personal with custom embroidery from our Monogram Shop. Flats embroidered with the happy couples’ initials offer a bespoke touch for the sentimental bride. They’re also an ideal second pair for the reception!
For Bridesmaids
From the walk down the aisle to post-ceremony photos, bridesmaids need shoes that are as practical as they are pretty. Here are our top bridesmaid sandal styles for the summer season.
Slingbacks
Slingback sandals offer a balance of style and support. With their secure strap and elegant silhouette, slingbacks are a flattering option that works with everything from flowing chiffon gowns to sleek midi dresses. Bridesmaids will appreciate the all-day comfort, especially during long ceremonies and late-night celebrations. Plus, they’re versatile enough to wear again after the big day.
Kitten Heels
Kitten heels are the go-to for bridal parties that want a little lift without the potential discomfort of higher heels. Their low profile makes them ideal for summer weddings, outdoor venues, and lots of time on your feet. Whether your bridesmaids are walking on grass, gravel, or the dance floor, these styles bring grace and ease—making them some of the best wedding shoes for comfort this season.
Matching, Not Identical
Gone are the days when every bridesmaid had to wear the exact same shoe. As long as the color or material stays consistent, it’s perfectly acceptable for bridesmaids to choose a style that fits their comfort level, be it kitten heels, flats, or wedges. Jack Rogers makes it easy with a range of silhouettes in coordinating shades like gold, blush, and white, so everyone feels confident and cohesive.
For Wedding Guests
Not walking down the aisle? You still need the best sandals for wedding guests—ones that look polished, feel supportive, and pair with everything from beach wedding guest outfits to cocktail attire.
Wedges
Wedges are a guest favorite for good reason—they’ve got the height of a heel with added stability, making them a great choice for outdoor weddings where grass or sand might make stilettos tricky. A wedge sandal adds just the right amount of lift while keeping you grounded through ceremony strolls, cocktail mingling, and dance floor moments.
Pops of Color
While neutrals are always classic, bold sandals in bright hues can bring your wedding guest look to life. A colorful shoe can add personality to a more understated dress and works beautifully with floral prints, jewel tones, and summer-ready fabrics.
Romantic Details
Ruffles, soft textures, and delicate finishes add a dreamy touch to your guest ensemble. Gentle scallops, woven straps, or a whisper of shimmer add thoughtful details that elevate your sandals from simple to special. Romantic styling pairs well with lace, chiffon, and all the fabrics of the summer wedding season, making them a go-to for those who want a little extra charm in their step.
