Finding the right pair of wedding shoes is almost just as important as finding the perfect white dress. They can make or break an outfit, and they can completely define and transform a look. And in our opinion, the safest choice to go for is a pair of nude heels. Whether you’re wearing something more traditional or modern, a nude pair will not only complement your dress but also help to elongate your legs and you can wear it again, even after your wedding. Of course, it doesn’t have to be entirely basic.
If you’re looking for a statement-worthy piece that goes well with your dress, here are our top picks:
