The 15 Best Beach Wedding Sandals of 2025

From sweeping ocean views and stunning sunsets to balmy weather, there’s so much to love about a waterfront wedding. However, choosing the right wedding shoes for a beach ceremony can be a bit tricky. While you undoubtedly want to sport a stylish shoe with all the bridal elements—a white colorway, bows, embellishments, and leather or satin materials—the sandy terrain may prevent you from feeling comfortable in classic stilettos or towering heels.

With this in mind, it’s crucial to find supportive shoes with wedges or block heels, or those with lower heel heights, to prevent tripping while walking down the aisle. If you’re worried about sacrificing style for comfort, don’t be. BRIDES’ shopping writer Maddie Barber scoured several retailers to find the chicest options for brides-to-be that are both wedding- and beach-appropriate. Keep reading for the top picks for every bridal style and price point.

What to Look for in Beach Wedding Sandals

• Location: Whether your wedding is on the beach or beach-adjacent, your wedding shoes should strike the perfect balance between style and practicality. Brides getting married on the sand should look for elevated, open-toed sandals, espadrilles, and wedges to safely walk across this terrain. If your ceremony isn’t taking place right on the beach, your wedding shoes don’t have to be as practical, but they should still complement your seaside venue and beachy aesthetic.
• Style: Styles like block beach wedding sandals, strappy kitten heels, embellished espadrilles, simple sandal wedges, and raffia slingbacks are all fun and appropriate options for waterfront vows.
• Comfort: One of the best aspects of wearing beach wedding sandals on your wedding day is the added level of comfort. Look for block heels, wedges, and lower heel heights to make sure you’re not aching or tripping on your beachside big day.
