Wedding shoes are one of the most important footwear purchases that most women will make in their lives; not only do they carry you down the aisle to your future spouse, but they end up documented in photos throughout the day, and sometimes even star in a few snapshots of their own. With the most publicized wedding of our generation only a few days away, what better time to explore the amazing breadth of options that brides-to-be have in front of them?

This guide doesn’t cover every style or option, but it does represent a cross-section of what’s available on the luxury mass market for weddings right now, all the way from practical and re-wearable to fantastical and nearly unwearable.
