wedding shoes

13 years ago

Hi, We are having a riverboat wedding in Sept., Can someone suggest what shoes I should wear. I was thinking a flat white sandal with maybe some rhinestones...not sure. Do I need to wear white shoes? The dress is long and cotton , with spaggeti straps. I would like to post a picture but don't see that option.

Thanks, I didn't think about that...The dress is a hawaiian beach dress...B/F's shirt is made from the same fabric. You are so right about the no frills. Most of the heels I've looked at are satin and I didn't think that would look good either. It should be easy to find a plain white sandal..thanks again!

I don't know what your budget is...but you maybe able to find dyed shoes at a place like Payless or somewhere. It was a while ago, but I had shoes dyed for a wedding I was in and they were really cheap. Granted, they may be too cheap or in styles you don't like, but you may be able to find something somewhere else. If you're spending money to switch off buttons, etc. I wouldn't rule out dyed shoes. Your dress, to me, is just calling out "matching shoes"!

I think a whole lot depends on what you plan to wear to the wedding. My dressy uniform always involves black pants, usually Eileen Fisher. If you wear black pants with a great top or jacket, you can get away with something functional/comfortable on your feet, IMO. I have some dressy-ish sandals from Aravon, which is a division of New Balance. Also just bought some incredibly comfortable clogs from Softwalk. Not too dressy, though. I also have some patent alligator loafers I wear when I dress up. I suggest you place a big order with Zappo's, try everything on and send back whatever doesn't work. My feet are wicked wide (at least I think that's what the WW stands for) and my options are limited. For better or worse, you will probably have more choices. Zappo's is your friend!

Don't be afraid to take your comfortable and safe shoes along and change at some point later in the festivities - once you've made your appearance no one is going to care if you choose to put something on your feet more typical of what you would usually wear. I've seen brides not accustomed to heels with sneakers under their gowns mid-way through the reception:) You can't have your best time if your feet hurt and this is a day you should enjoy yourself - if it means not confining your feet to skimpy sandals for hours and hours and going home in pain, no one is going to mind you changing your footwear.

Now I'm completely torn. Since my current shoes sorta, kinda, work and are comfortable to wear, I feel I should use them. Save some money, be prudent, etc. but, oh, those shoes you have all posted! I love the strappy sandals with the ankle strap! I ordered a bag online that may work with my shoes. It is a navy patent leather envelope clutch with a strap. (The toes on my shoes are patent leather) if it doesn't work I'm starting over with your suggestions. Im also a sucker for this straw/leather bag from talbots (thanks rubyclair for Talbots's link) I shouldn't, right?

Then definitely go for the flats, if your dress has sparkles on it then the shoes would be fine with rhinestones, but if it is simple with no frills than a plain shoe would be appropriate.

Thank you for the link! I'm sure I'll be able to find the perfect shoe. Now I'm looking at hair accessories too. This is so much fun :-)

Most wedding shoes are satin or silk, but there are a few styles available in leather. Wedding Shoes are available in both ivory and white, although there is considerably less choice if you are looking for white bridal shoes

I think you should wear flats or wedge. I don't wear heels in weddings because I'm not comfortable in walking. I always wanted to seat because my toes and feet are swollen. I promise myself not to wear heels again and now I'm in love with flats and wedges. It is very comfortable to use and you can wear it in any occasion.

That's correct, flat shoes is best for wedding to make you feel more comfortable but if we wish to look more elegant you can wear at least 2 inch closed shoes say a white shoes or silver shoes that will match the wedding gown. Wedge can also be okay.
