Different Shoes

dawnleanna1

We just recently decided on a ceremony spot this weekend. I was starting to freak out a little because it's getting so late but we decided on a metropark that has a spot right on a river and is not far from the golf course where we are having our reception. Anyway, I have already bought my shoes and I'm afraid they won't work for the ceremony now. I love my shoes, they a 3in stiletto and go perfectly with my dress. And also my dress is so slinky that I think a boost from the heels will look better for my figure. For the ceremony, I will have to walk on uneven ground and grass. I was thinking about getting a pair of flats to wear during the ceremony. Is anyone else doing this? How will that effect my alterations/hem?

My ceremony "aisle" is on the grass too, so I decided to wear stilettos for the reception and wedges for the ceremony.  I lucked out in finding formal wedges that are exactly the same height as my other heels, so alterations aren't a problem.  These are the wedges in case you're curious . . .

They aren't super comfortable, but I think they'll get me down the aisle without falling or sinking in to the ground!

Both PPs sound like good ideas, because such different heel heights I'm sure will cause an alteration problem.. GL!

LOVE your shoes!  I think the wedge idea is a great one too!  I have considered it but think I will just switch to flats since my dress length wont be an issue bc its not long.

I love those wedges.  I really wish they came in a blue color!

Those wedges are super cute. But they are too tall for me, as i am trying to stay as short as possible since FI is less than 3in taller than me. But those heel guards might just work! I'm going to look into those. Thanks

I am actually wearing flats for the ceremony and the reception, having the dress tailored for my flats, and wearing cute purple heels for photo opportunities only. I want to be comfy and I want to look significantly shorter than my fiance during the ceremony. I only got the heels to wear for fun shoe pics and for the standard dip-kiss-picture and heel popping out picture.
