While wedding guest dresses are always top of mind when it comes to nuptials season, comfortable but stylish wedding guest shoes should form a strategic part of your overall look. That is if you anticipate walking, standing, or dancing on the tent floor, gravel, grass, or sand. Because, while we are always team stiletto, you may wish to stick to suggestions that give you the best chance of pleasantly partying all night, like chunky platforms, kitten heels/low-heel pumps, closed-toe mules, and flats.
Sure, you can always go in flip-flops if you can withstand some sole scalding or dirt between your toes, but if you want a functional sandal to complete your wedding guest look, one of the 25 pairs ahead could be your ticket to spring wedding outfit bliss.
