While weddings are usually formal events, some couples choose to let their personalities shine through by incorporating fun wedding details to keep things interesting. These include their wedding shoes; wearing beaded flip-flops or colorful sneakers instead of heels for the bride or black leather shoes for the groom can give a wedding a more relaxed, fun, and quirky feel. Not only can unique footwear change the vibe you bring to your wedding, but you may be more comfortable walking down the aisle. (If you're having a church wedding, though, make sure to check the rules of your church before slipping on those flip-flops.)

Some of the couples we've featured decided to mix things up and chose to wear alternatives to formal wedding footwear. On a few occasions, even the members of the entourage wore unconventional wedding shoes. Take a look at the gallery below and see how these couples incorporated their personal shoe style into their weddings.
