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.

While the glitzy beads embellish the bodice of the dress, lending it a bit of pizzazz, the flowy court train adds sophistication and will look marvelous on top of flats.
