For a beach wedding you can opt for lace appliqué shoes which are meant specially or beaches and look pretty as a picture.

If you want a classic look then timeless pumps is your answer or strappy heels if you want to show off your beautiful feet and achieve a glamorous look or ballerinas if you want comfort over everything.

There are a variety of heels to choose from in the market. Kitten heels are short heels ranging from 1.5 to 1.75 inches and offer a very sophisticated look. Stilettos are long and skinny heels definitely meant for the brave hearts and fashion fanatic. They are the supermodels of the shoe world and definitely make you feel like a star on your big day. Wedges will offer you height and the most comfort at the same time.
