15 Under $100: Bridal Shoes That Won’t Bust Your Entire Wedding Budget
544x376Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONE
Maybe it’s the vision of your shiny new pumps peeking out from the hem of your gown as you descend the aisle. Or perhaps it’s the Instagram-fueled desire for that perfectly propped vignette of your ring dangling from the heel of your sparkling stiletto. It might even be the idea that this might be the single time in your life you can rationalize a Carrie Bradshaw moment (“I’ll totally wear them again!” you exclaim through a forced smile as you shakily swipe your credit card). No matter the reasoning, this much is true: Brides spend way too much on wedding shoes.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from years of being a wedding guest (besides to always pack a snack—cocktail hours are an endurance sport), it’s that a comfortable bride is a happy bride. Even those who survive the trip down the aisle in their sky-high stunners are almost certainly hobbling to the trusty dance-floor adjacent basket of flip flops by the end of the first dance. And while I’m usually an adversary to the argument that the hefty price tags that often accompany weddings is obscene, I have to join the dark side when it comes to an accessory that almost no one sees. So, in attempt to reallocate your budget for more practical things (like hors d'oeuvres! or the honeymoon!), here, 15 guilt-free wedding shoes for every style—all of which are under $100.
