Now that you’ve found the perfect wedding dress to don on your big day, the next purchase on your checklist is probably a pair of shoes to go with it. When shopping for this accessory, there are a few criteria it will need to meet: provide optimal comfort and support and coordinate with your bridal look and overall aesthetic. For glamorous bridal styles or settings, silver wedding shoes will offer a beautiful complement to your big day. 

Whether it’s a thick block heel or a sky-high stiletto, a metallic pair of shoes will give your getup a touch of shimmer and shine. We love this idea for upscale venues, such as a regal château in the French countryside or an elegant ballroom in New York City. Silver wedding shoes will also pull a sparkly or beaded wedding dress together, providing a unified, upscale look. Even if you’re opting for a more minimalist ensemble for your nuptials, though, silver wedding shoes are guaranteed to elevate your outfit. While you can wear this style of shoes with any type of attire, a shorter gown (like a mini or tea-length dress) will make sure that these glitzy add-ons get the attention they deserve.

Another benefit of seeking out this gleaming shade? There are so many different styles on the market to choose from, depending on your personal preference. If you want to make a bold statement, for instance, sport a towering pair of platform heels with all-over sequins. If durability is your first priority but you don’t want to sacrifice style, consider strapping on a pair of silver sandals with a kitten heel. Whichever style you select, your shoes will play a big role in shaping your big-day getup and reinforcing your aesthetic.

Looking for inspiration? Scroll through these 15 stunning silver wedding shoes that real brides wore for their nuptials.

Include a Pointed Toe

Pointed-toe pumps are fashionable and chic, especially in a sparkly coat of silver. Choose a pair composed of all-over sequins to create a classic-meets-trend-setting style. You can even modernize your look by selecting a design with a geometric-shaped heel and wrap-around straps (like this pair from Amina Muaddi at the bride’s vibrant carnival-themed wedding in Virginia).

To make a statement with your silver wedding shoes, get inspired by this bride who wore Jimmy Choo heels with sequin-studded straps and a sparkle-covered vamp to her French château nuptials. Mixing different types of metallic accents, especially various shapes and sizes, will infuse your look with visual intrigue.

Decorate It With Drop Diamonds

Calling all fashion-forward brides: This pair of silver shoes, which appeared at a New York City rooftop celebration, is right up your alley. While the basis of the heel is transparent, drooping diamond-like fixtures line the perimeter, combining a contemporary style with an opulent flair. To show off your crystal-studded stilettos, pair it with a high-low dress.

Select a Twisted Design

For an innovative iteration of silver wedding shoes, purchase a pair that features a unique design. At her romantic bash at a castle in Toronto, the bride wore a pair of sling-back Aquazzura heels with silver interwoven details that demanded attention. Paired with her satin wedding dress with a thigh-high slit, the lustrous adornment stole the show.

Add a Platform

Want to up the ante? Emphasize height. Grow a few inches in silver wedding shoes with a thick platform and an extra-tall heel (such as this statement-making pair at the bride’s glamorous affair in Chicago). Not only did the pumps provide a boost, but they also had a wash of sparkles that matched the bride’s diamond necklace.

Sport Thin Straps

If you’d rather wear a pair of silver shoes that are more subdued, consider one that exhibits thin double straps, which is what this bride wore to her modern Washington, D.C. wedding. With less surface area, the metallic hue will take on a classic, minimalist feel. This idea works well for any type of wedding dress: With simple styles, the silver heels will complement the look; but with maximalist getups, the pair of shoes will let the gown steal the show.

Embrace All-Over Studs

Choose shoes decked out in sequins to go full-on luxe. These Aquazzura pumps, which the bride wore to her bohemian nuptials in Sevilla, had a silver foundation that was bedazzled with mirrored beads. By covering every inch of your shoe with crystal embellishments that catch the light, you’ll truly shine as you walk down the aisle.

Consider Block Heels

Since you’ll be walking and standing for hours on end in your wedding shoes, comfort and movability is key—and with a pair painted in silver, you won’t have to offer up style. Take, for example, these Badgley Mischka sandals, which the bride sported for her tented backyard wedding in Los Angeles: The block heel provided maximum support, yet the metallic adornments added an extravagant touch.

Incorporate a Pop of Color

Silver can also function as a chic accent color, particularly when paired with other vibrant tones. When this bride tied the knot at her maximalist celebration in a New Jersey castle, she donned a pair of sparkly Jimmy Choo pumps with an ombré heel. The silver base accentuated her dress—which was engulfed in beaded floral appliqués and fringe—while the yellow-pink gradient matched the color-blocked palette.

Opt for Comfort With Sneakers

Sneakers probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of your wedding-day shoe, but if comfort is your ultimate priority, don’t overlook this option. With silver accents, you’ll take your pair from streetwear to wedding-wear. While many brides change into a pair of sneakers for their second look, you can definitely lace up a pair for your walk down the aisle, too—at her wine-country wedding, this bride completed her outfit with sequined Converse that she wore throughout the festivities.

Don Double Straps

Sandals with double straps are versatile and supportive. To give this timeless design an upgrade, choose a pair of silver shoes. When this bride tied the knot at her classic soirée in Southern California, she accentuated her strapless satin gown with Amina Muaddi shoes. With the leg slit, her pumps got quality, well-deserved air time.

Emphasize Embellishments

Take your silver wedding shoes up a notch with 3D embellishments. Scattered with metallic accents, the pair will incorporate texture and lavishness into your look. We love how the gleaming Loeffler Randall heels that this bride wore to her beachfront wedding in Florida added juxtaposition to her bohemian, fringe-covered dress.

Bedazzle the Bands

White wedding shoes are a traditional choice for brides, but you can always amp it up with silver sequins. This bride did just that at her garden wedding weekend in Italy: Her Jimmy Choo pointed-toe pumps had a sleek white vamp, while the crystal straps injected a regal edge that complemented her princess-worthy gown.

Bring in Crystal Buckles

For another idea that embraces a subtle pop of silver, consider selecting a pair with a sequined buckle in the center—the signature look of Manolo Blahnik, whom this bride tapped for her wedding shoe of choice for her chic celebration at an art museum in South Carolina. A square-shaped rim of diamond-like accents will add a bit of pizazz to an otherwise classic shoe.

Define a Sunburst Shape

Like the aforementioned idea, an alternative option is including a sunburst-shaped facet to the front of your shoe (like this bride’s pair of Amina Muaddi heels, which she wore to her sherbet-hued fête in Vermont). Reminiscent of the sun’s rays, the silver accent is also an apt accessory for warm-weather nuptials.
