The Best Shoes for Outdoor Weddings, From Sandals to Block Heels

Nine West Astoria Block Heels ($35, originally $90)

If you're attending an outdoor wedding and anticipate that you'll be walking on grass, block heels are your best friend. Unlike classic stilettos, block heels — just like this sleek pair from Amazon — boast a thick base that's designed to feel supportive and ensure you won't slip into squishier surfaces.

Musshoe Mules ($40, originally $46)

Mules are a staple in any investment wardrobe, and this sleek pair is currently high on our shopping wishlists. Crafted from a breathable textile that's made to move with you, the shoes are easy to slip on for any outdoor wedding ceremony and even easier to slip off when you make your way to the dance floor.

A New Day Basil Mule Heels ($35)

We love these bestselling mule heels from Target for a variety of reasons, but the trendy lavender colorway definitely sold us the moment we saw them. The thick, rounded heel offers support without sacrificing style.

Steve Madden Irenee Sandal ($80)

If you're wearing a bolder wedding ensemble and want to keep your shoe selection on the more muted side, opt for these classic white open-toed heels, which are perfect for just about any dress code or ceremony. The thick heel makes it easy to walk on any terrain, while the strappy design ensures the heels won't slip off your feet while you're walking (or dancing).

Sam Edelman Tahiri Pump ($150)

Mary-Jane shoes are trending for summer — and presumably for the fall, too. What better way to test out the retro style than at one of your upcoming wedding ceremonies? This patent black shoe is especially sleek thanks to its breathable design, supportive block heel, and cool hardware accents, which are featured all along the sides.

Marc Fisher LTD Zala Block Heel Pumps ($160)

These Marc Fisher pumps are bestsellers — and for good reason. They're comfortable and come in an assortment of colors. Plus, they're wrapped in a soft suede material that elevates the shoe with an extra layer of luxury — making them perfect for any wedding ceremonies with a more formal dress code.

Tory Burch Claire Cap Toe Ballet Flat ($248)

Want to keep your feet feeling comfortable but still dressed up? These ballet flats from Tory Burch are undoubtedly your answer. While they're a steeper investment, rest assured this is a style you'll be able to keep in your wardrobe for the long-term — and comfortably slip into whenever your wedding calendar begins to fill up.

H&M Sandals ($30)

You can never go wrong with a pair of simple strappy sandals, just like this neutral variation from H&M. These heeled sandals prioritize style without sacrificing on comfort. Plus, their open-toed design provides the perfect opportunity to show off your latest pedicure.

Loeffler Randall Daphne Platinum Pleated Bow Slide ($250)

Contrary to popular belief, sandals are actually an appropriate shoe to wear to an outdoor wedding ceremony — assuming, of course, they're as luxurious and elevated as this iridescent pair from Loeffler Randall. These flat sandals come in a handful of shades; they're cute enough for the bride or anyone in her bridal party.

Schutz Arissa Flats ($98)

Shoe trends may change, but comfortable ballet flats will always be in style. If you're looking for a truly classic pair that can live in your wardrobe long after the wedding ceremony ends, you can't go wrong with this neutral pair from Schutz. Wear them with a dress or tailored trousers, and prepare to garner plenty of compliments — especially with the shoe's darling bow detail on the top.
