The year 2024 marks a turning point in the bridal look: the trend is called Fly Down and brings with it a real revolution–starting with the shoes!
Brides 2024 say goodbye to the 12 heel and choose comfort without sacrificing style. It is the year of flat shoes, jeweled ballet flats, sneakers customized with Swarovski crystals or hand-painted, slippers with embroidery and initials. A perfect mix of originality, comfort and personality.
Flat shoes for brides? Yes, but with style!
I confess: as a Wedding Planner with a passion for high heels, I was a bit skeptical at first.
I thought, “A princess gown needs a shoe that slims, that enhances the figure…”
But I had to change my mind.
Ateliers have been able to reinterpret even the most imposing gowns, making them perfectly harmonious with elegant, refined and incredibly chic flat shoes.
The result? Beautiful, confident and … finally comfortable brides!
Yes, because the wedding day is long and intense, and every detail-even the shoes-must contribute to the bride’s well-being.
The trendiest wedding shoes of 2024
Here are the stars of the new Fly Down trend:
- Jeweled ballerinas: precious, bright, ideal for romantic and vintage outfits.
- Customized sneakers: decorated with rhinestones, embroidery or even hand-painted. Perfect for modern and creative brides.
- Elegant Slippers: with initials, bows or lace details. Refined and super glam.
My advice as a Wedding Planner
Choose the shoe that speaks about you.
Whether you love to shine, stand out or just be comfortable, remember that true elegance is feeling comfortable.
And if you really don’t want to give up your heels… you can always keep them for the ceremony and change them to your “shoes of the heart” during the party!
With love and a dash of (low) heel,
