Ballet Flats
-
Ballet flats are a down-to-earth choice for an autumn bride who is uncomfortable in high heels but would like an optional that is both more formal and season-appropriate than sandals. Satin ballet flats can be dyed to match your wedding colors, or you can hot glue gems, beads and satin ribbon to give your shoes extra flair. A wide variety of materials is used to make and decorate ballet flats; choosing flats covered in gold, copper or bronze glitter is a whimsical way to walk down an autumn aisle.
Pumps
-
Classic and elegant, a pump is the sophisticated high heel choice for a fall wedding. With closed toes and an absence of straps and cut-outs, pumps will give you plenty of support and stability so you can put your best foot forward on your walk down the aisle. When purchasing high-heels for a wedding, try the shoes on in person whenever possible; if you are standing for the entirety of the ceremony, you will want to choose heels in which you can comfortably stand for an extended period of time. A kitten heel combines the functionality of a flat with the elevated elegance of a heel, and unexpected materials like tweed and suede give a kitten heel some fall flavor.

Boots
-
From western to Victorian and all points in between, boots are an unexpected and appropriate shoe choice for autumn brides. Cowboy boots are well suited to weddings that have a rustic country vibe; many manufacturers produce boots with subtle metallic accents in sophisticated colors, perfect for adding a dash of country to your wedding ensemble. For a high-necked, lacy Victorian-style wedding gown, lace-up, high-heeled boots in velvet or ultra-soft leather would finish a look full of autumnal vintage romance. Embroidery, lace and faux-fur trim adds extra glamour to your look.
Decorations
-
The old adage "Something old, something blue..." advises brides to place a coin in their shoes for luck, but autumn brides can incorporate additional autumn symbols to bring extra luck to your wedding. Oak leaves and acorns symbolize courage and marital faith; wheat stands for abundance and good luck. Gluing silk leaves along the counter, which cups the heel, of a high-heel pump gives shoes a dramatic autumnal accent, while gluing small acorns or sprigs of wheat to the topline of the toe-box is a feminine fall flourish.
