So you’re getting married, and you have a strict budget… have you thought about your shoes? You can save a lot of money on if you buy cheap wedding shoes that go with your dress.

If you don’t shop around, a pair of designer shoes could end up costing you hundreds of dollars on top of what you’re already spending on your entire wedding outfit. It’s quite an expense.

So, how can you find shoes that complement your dress but don’t break the bank? There are a lot of options!

First, think about getting dyeable shoes. While they tend to be associated with bridesmaids and high school dances, the bright white dyeable shoes can be dyed just about any color imaginable. It may not even be necessary to dye them!

They have a beautiful satiny finish that can be appreciated on its own, and they’ll go quite nicely with a wedding gown. They are very cost effective. And more recently, an increasing number of styles of dyeable shoes have become available.

A second option is to consider a discount shoe chain. Stores like Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse and DSW have huge selections of shoes that are always changing. These are brand- and designer-named shoes at a fraction of their regular retail price.

It’s worth a couple of trips over the months leading up to your wedding. There’s a great chance you’ll find cheap wedding shoes this way, because the merchandise is always changing.

Third, consider your wedding style. You have a lot more options if you don’t intend to have the formal, traditional wedding. Will your wedding be in the spring or summer, perhaps on the beach? Try some flip flops made from white or silver material.

Right now they are hugely popular, which means there are thousands of variations available, and they’re cheap. Also, consider ballet flats or sandals depending on what your wedding will be like.

Keep looking! You have lots of choices for cheap wedding shoes!
