XP because the Etiquette gals have all the good advice - shoes for outdoor wedding

TheBaysideBride

Apologies for the cross post, but you guys have helped me on basically all of my wedding issues!! Our ceremony is outside, and between that and our photos I have to find shoes that won't sink into the grass. Did anyone find nice heels that did the trick?

I've heard that these heel guards are fabulous.

Lots of people recommend Solemates. Wedges can give more stability, too. I just wore regular heels (entire wedding was outside) and didn't have any trouble.

Our ceremony is outside in the grass.  I'm just going to wear pretty flats.  My dress is long anyway and I really don't think anyone will see my feet much anyway.  The only way I could see wearing heels is if I had found a pair of wedges.

Go with wedges if you need some height.

I was a bridesmaid in a outdoor wedding (ceremony with WP standing on grass the whole time). We all just about died as there was no stability and we had to keep shifting our weight and yanking our heels out of the dirt. Even those who wore sole mates or heel protectors sunk in.

It was so bad that the MOH even pulled her shoes off during the recessional!

Here are all the wedding wedges listed on Zappos.

I wore Franco Sarto Harlow wedges in white.   They were SO comfortable. I lasted all night.  I also liked that they were white patent leather so it wouldn't get stained by the grass.

I'd also agree with wedges. I went to two outdoor weddings in the past two years (one on a lawn, one on the beach) and the wedges were great for both. Gives you a heel/height without any problems of sinking in because the weight is more distributed.

I'm also getting married outdoors and have just elected to wear flats. I got a cute paid of Kate Spade flats in our wedding color. It just seem easier to me.
