Mary Janes are Le Monde Beryl’s most well-known silhouette, so the label is a must on any list of bridal flats. This pair has the same sheen as Qualley’s wedding-day flats, with a low heel and lightly padded insole.

Sizes: 5½–11½

Colors: White satin

Sandy Liang’s cult-beloved ballet flats were just released in white satin exclusively for Ssense’s bridal edit. I suspect the most runway-inclined brides will cherish the pointe-shoe-inspired square toe and dainty buckle as much as their wedding gown—these flats are that rarely in stock.

Colors: White

Tamara Mellon released her long-awaited take on the Mary Jane this year, complete with an elongated toe box and a teeny-tiny heel. The cream patent fits a bridal dress code, but also has everyday-outfit appeal, thanks to its more cream-adjacent shade and button-embellished strap.

Sizes: 5–12

Colors: White patent, red patent, black patent

I got married in Loeffler Randall’s famous Camellia heels, but I wish I’d had the foresight to also order these little satin flats. Having now tried on pairs in the store, I can attest that they have a soft sole, an elastic strap that’s secure without pinching, and a dainty, rounded toe that will look gorgeous with midi and maxi dresses. My bridal buyer’s remorse is what pushed me to order a chocolate-brown pair for fall; future brides, consider a pair for your nuptials and daily wear.

Sizes: 5–12

Colors: White, black, chocolate, terracotta, and more

A three-centimeter block heel still qualifies as a flat in my book. This patent leather pair provides a little lift for standing tall at the altar, with a gentle pitch that won’t be pinching your toes by the end of the big day.

Sizes: 35–42 FR

Colors: White, black, red, pink, and more

For the Valentino Rockstud collection devotee: a pair of wedding-day flats embellished with the designer’s signature decal. (After all, the best bridal look should ultimately also reflect your style away from the aisle.) The angular pointed toe provides the hint of juxtaposition suited to a tea-length dress with a confectionary full skirt.

Sizes: 35½–42 IT

Colors: White
