No bride wants her wedding day to end in foot cramps, blisters and heel agony. Unless your wedding is on a sun-filled beach, it’s probably not the best idea to brave your reception barefoot either. However, the good news is that an alternative is always at hand. If you know that there is no chance your feet will survive an entire day of walking, standing and dancing in those gorgeous heels you had your heart set on, you don't have to be disappointed. Just as much as there are stunning and gorgeous bridal heels out there, like the handful of favourites we picked out here, there is also equally gorgeous and stunning bridal flats, meaning that as a bride, you won't have to sacrifice your looking fabulous in order to be comfortable.

The greatest thing about bridal flats (after the obvious ability to dance all night, pain-free) is their versatility. Unlike a pair of heels, when a bride wears flats she can choose to include whichever style she wants. From dainty ballerinas to bold gladiators and quirky brogues, to even the most modern high fashion sneakers out there – yes we even found a pair of those – the possibilities are endless when it comes to flats. In some cases, after the conscious decision to switch from high heels to flats you may feel a bit robbed of the experience of debuting your very own designer heels down the aisle. Well, the good news here is that most designer brands, from Louboutin and Jimmy Choo to Valentino’s rockstuds, also carry the same design in a flat alternative. Which means that for your wedding day, you can still walk down the aisle in those designer shoes while doing so completely pain-free and confident. Take a look at the 40 best bridal flats that we’ve handpicked for you here.
