25 pairs of wedding guest shoes to make an entrance in

So you've finally sorted your summer wedding guest dress? Well now it's time to think about a pair of wedding guest shoes. Yep, the planning is never ending (think about how the bride must feel). There are a lot of factors to consider when picking the perfect pair, too, from how long you'll be wearing them - and therefore whether or not you should search for comfortable wedding shoes - to which style will go best with your outfit.

The right footwear will bring just as much grandeur to your ensemble as the frock itself and, if you buy wisely, they'll become an accessory that'll last you a lifetime. So if you've been eyeing up some vertiginous, crystal-embellished pumps, now is the time to strike.

What shoes are wedding appropriate?

As a guest you're less restricted by rules and traditions, so you can go as wild as you'd like. That said, it's wise to take note from the environment you'll find yourself in. For example, if it's a beach wedding consider wedges or flat sandals to avoid sinking into the sand, but if it's more of a Black Tie affair then you'll be wanting something classic, pointy and elegant.

If you're not used to walking in heels, it's a wise idea to opt for something around the two to three-inch mark with a block heel instead of stilettos. This should prolong the amount of time you can stand and dance in them and mean you won't need to dig your flip flops out of your clutch bag until the very end of the night.
