Wearing flat shoes to a wedding: tips for barefoot brides and guests

For years, heels have been almost mandatory in wedding dress codes. However, more and more women are daring to question that norm and are choosing a more conscious, natural, and comfortable alternative: flat shoes. If you're a bride or a guest and are considering going without heels to a wedding (yes, even your own), this article is for you.

Why choose flat shoes for a wedding?

The answer is simple: comfort, stability, and freedom. A wedding is a long, intense day full of emotions. You're standing, walking, greeting, eating, drinking, and dancing. Why do all that with your feet compressed and your body tense?

For brides: yes, you can be a bride without heels

Forget the myth that a bride without heels isn't “dressed up enough.” These days, there are elegant, minimalist, and sophisticated flat shoe options that pair perfectly with modern, bohemian, or even classic wedding dresses.

A pair of Libertas in white, ivory, or metallic tones can add that special touch. Plus, walking upright, with your feet grounded and free of pain, gives you a confidence no heel can offer.

For guests: personality without the extra height

As a guest, choosing flat shoes is also a style statement. Pair them with midi dresses, flowy suits, or two-piece sets. Look for noble materials, elegant colors, or standout details.

And if the event is outdoors—on grass, sand, or uneven terrain—flat shoes are not just a stylish choice, but also a practical one.

At Libertas Barefoot, we believe true elegance comes from the balance between design, functionality, and connection with the body. That’s why we design barefoot shoes you can wear every day… and on special occasions like a wedding.

If you’re looking for a stylish and meaningful alternative, barefoot shoes may be the detail that transforms not just your outfit, but how you experience the entire moment.

And you—would you dare to get married without heels?
