Many brides are under the impression that they cannot wear their dream wedding dress unless they are rocking high heels. Let us set the record straight: As wonderful as high heels look with figure-flattering gowns, the notion that they are the ‘only’ wedding footwear choice out there isn’t right. Don’t get us wrong. We love a great pair of heels. But we love a great pair of flats just a bit more. Why? Because flats go with pretty much any wedding dress; they look chic and playful; and most importantly, they are comfortable (you can’t say the same for heels, can you?)
Wearing a pair of stylish and comfortable bridal flats on your big day? Here are six dress styles that look fabulous with flats that you can consider.
