Walking down the aisle in a stunning pair of stilettos would get a little tricky if your aisle was made of sand. Luckily, there are plenty of chic shoe options available to beachside brides, from designer sandals to ballet flats. Here are a few of our favorite bridal footwear options for beach weddings:

Designer Sandals

With a looping bow and sweet bridal white color, this Valentino sandal makes the perfect beachy bridal shoe.

Bejeweled Flip Flops

Add some sparkle and even a hint of color to your look with these lovely jeweled sandals.

Feminine Flats

From ballet slippers to lacy slip-ons, these gorgeous flats featured on Kiss the Groom offer a unique twist to traditional beach wedding style.

When I spotted this chic rustic wedding on Jolie Jolie, I instantly fell in love. The understated, earthy colors, the balsa wood flowers, and the elegant use of twigs and twine made this celebration look dreamy and rustic all at the same time. Then I saw the kicker—poofs of cotton used to accent the earthy luxury of everything from the bouquets to the aisle decor.

It’s so unique and graceful that I simply had to feature it. Can you say gorgeous?
