comfy shoes - past vegas brides, what did you do about shoes??

wildstyle · April 2010

hello everyone!

i havea very slim dress so my shoes will show - but i am worried about all the walking around i will be doing. what did you guys do for shoes?

any help would be so appreciated - finding the dress was easy but the shoes not so much.

I say wear white flip flops. They have some out there that are made for weddings.

Wear them while you are walking and walking and walking. Bring your "real" shoes to dinner and dance in.

Was that your question?

We are doing a beach themed wedding so we are getting married in Flip Flops. just to make it cute

I am wearing heels for the ceremony and for dinner, but I bought a pair of white flip flops that have a bit of a wedge to wear while walking.

If you are just concerned about heel height being bothersome, than I would go with a pair of jeweled flat sandals. Something like this would be cute:

They don't offer much support, but they are cute!

I'm wearing my shoes during the ceremony and pictures, but I have an insute reception so I think myself and most of my guests will kick off our shoes during the reception

I love Olivea's suggestion. Those are super cute. If you need a little height get a wedge heel flip flop

impslave · April 2010

I wore my platform wedges for the ceremony and pictures, then changed into my toning sneakers before dinner. Those sneakers sit up higher than regular ones, so I still got a bit of height.

I'm looking at platform flip-flops on eBay for the photo tour. I don't want my dress to drag, so I need something with serious height, but also something comfy.

I wore my shoes in some pictures and during the ceremony and kicked them right back off as I got to the end of the aisle.. for our strip tour we did flip flops well the girls did

Marilynfan · April 2010

How did you girls manage going from heels to flats? Weren't you tripping on your dress?

thefuturemrsrumley · April 2010

I'm wearing wedges instead of pumps. Found these at Nordstrom, very comfortable, and also available in red, yellow, and white.

I brought both of my shoes to my seamstress, and she fit my dress to the flip flips, since I wore those the most. It just so happen that I was fine with my dress being <em>just a little too short </em>for the ceremony, since I liked the way it showed off my pink shoes!! :) And most people didnt even notice that my dress was a little shorter, just myself and my seamstress noticed. She is a very close family friend, so she was at the wedding.

So if you are planning on changing shoes, and you can bring them both to your dress fittings, maybe your seamstress can help you too! :)

i'm splurging and buying Cole Haan heels, with the Nike Air technology

wildstyle · April 2010

thank you everyone - this is great feedback! i can't unfortnately do flipflops at all b/c my problem is that my dumb ankles need support

but there are great ideas here. and i like the idea of having the seamstress help - i did find a very comfy pair of shoes that is 1/2 inch shorter than the pretty pair so maybe she can help there.

I got my shoes from FootSmart.com. They specialize in shoes for people with foot issues, so they are incredibly comfortable. Mine had memory foam insoles. I was able to wear them all day/night without any issues.

pebbs_17 · April 2010

I'm wearing the same sketchers as Marilyn, only with a little blue. Very cute! I do have some shoes for the ceremony.

CindyR1979 · April 2010

if there is one recommendation I would ever make, its about SHOES! You need to wear comfortable shoes after the ceremony and pics! Actually, you need to wear comfy shoes the days before your wedding too, when walking around Vegas. Because my feet KILLED me & I actually did wear flip flops and Converse for most of the time.. but even those weren't enough. Splurge for the Nike Airs- you can get custom made VERY cute ones at nikeid.com.
