Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue: If you're like most brides-to-be, this good-luck adage was likely imprinted in your memories long before you ever started planning your wedding day. While there's no rule that says how you have to interpret the saying, most women choose to wear luck-bringing accessories on the big day—maybe you'll wear your mother's necklace, a new pair of earrings from your groom-to-be, and a bracelet borrowed from your future mother-in-law. But what about your something blue? For a unique twist on tradition, we say fulfill this final requirement with a cool pair of blue bridal shoes.

Surprising, cool, and decidedly celebratory, we love how a pair of blue bridal shoes add an unexpected pop of color to a bride's big-day look. Depending on your personal style, you might pick something understated, like a pair of baby blue satin slingbacks or suede sandals. If a deeper blue is more your style, a pair of navy pumps or a bow-embellished peep toe will probably fit the bill. Whatever look you like best, know that there's a pair of blue heels out there for you: You'll be surprised to see just how many different blue hues, heel types and heights, fabric types, and styles—from just a little fancy to ultra-glam—are available right now. 

To help you find your match, we searched high and low for the coolest blue wedding shoes in a range of different price points. Whether you're looking for lace or satin, pumps or mules, unadorned or jewel-encrusted, your perfect "something blue" wedding shoe awaits.
