Comfortable. Beautiful. Temple-ready.

Your wedding shoes may be small compared to the dress, but don’t underestimate their power. The right pair will help you glide through your day with confidence—and the wrong pair? Let’s just say “foot regret” is not invited to your celebration.

So let’s walk through what really matters when choosing your LDS wedding shoes.

Start with the Temple

If you’re planning a temple sealing, you’ll need to wear all-white clothing—including your shoes. That means your temple shoes should be modest, closed-toe, and flat or low-heeled (to keep things reverent and comfy during the ceremony).

Here are a few helpful temple shoe tips for LDS brides:

• Choose soft soles and quiet heels (click-clacking down the hallways isn’t the vibe)

• Make sure they fit securely—you don’t want to trip or slip

• Consider ballet flats or soft white temple slippers for max comfort

• If there is going to be dancing consider shoes with cute ankle straps. This way your shoes will not escape.

• Aerobic instructors put vasoline on their feet before they put on socks, helps keep their feet cool, soft, and moisturized.

Some brides wear these for their sealing and bring a second, more glam pair for pictures or their exit pics and reception afterward. Totally up to you!

Don’t Sacrifice Comfort for Style

We’ve all been tempted by sky-high stilettos that look amazing in photos… but here’s the thing: you’re not just posing in these shoes. You’re standing, walking, hugging, twirling, and maybe dancing too.

If you’re not used to wearing heels, this is not the day to start. Go with what feels good—and don’t be afraid to choose:

• A kitten heel

• A supportive wedge

• A chic pair of flats or sandals

Want that extra inch? Look for block heels or platform soles for added height without the foot strain.

Break Them In Ahead of Time

Brand new shoes + your longest day ever = blisters waiting to happen.

Please, please don’t wait until your wedding day to wear your shoes for the first time. Here’s what to do instead:

• Wear them around the house with socks for a few days

• Practice walking on different surfaces (carpet, hardwood, concrete)

• Use moleskin or cushioned inserts if needed for extra padding

Avoid "Foot Suicide" (Yes, It’s a Real Thing)

There’s nothing glamorous about aching arches, numb toes, or limping halfway through your reception. The term “foot suicide” might sound dramatic—but it’s real. And avoidable.

Always bring a backup pair of super comfy flats, sandals, or even bridal sneakers (they’re adorable!) so you can switch out when needed. Trust me: your future self will thank you.

A Few Final LDS Wedding Shoe Tips

• Your dress length matters—if it’s hemmed for heels, flats might drag (and vice versa)

• Consider the location—grass, gravel, or tile floors all change the shoe game

• Choose a pair that matches your whole look: modest, elegant, and authentically you

Remember, the most beautiful LDS wedding shoes are the ones that let you enjoy every sacred and joyful moment—without thinking about your feet.

Walk in love, walk in comfort, and walk into forever. 💛
