Shoes - what are Hawaii brides choosing?

Buck0701 · May 2011

Okay... we hit the "2 months to go" mark the other day and I am starting to flip out with the many details that I still need to chase down.. one being my own shoes ... which I need to have in hand in 1 month for my 2nd dress fitting.

We are getting married at Sugarmans and I have been told it is a somewhat long walk, across grass. I am short, my fiance is a foot taller than me and I live in heels most of the time (and even do pole dance/pole fitness as a hobby). I definitely want a heel but know a stilletto won't work. I am not wild about any wedges that I have found.

Dress is simple Nicole Miller:

I am guessing some of the other beach-destination wedding people have faced a similar dilemma.

I wore 4 inch heels from Nina Shoes and added SoulMates just to be safe. I had absolutely no problems walking at Sugarman back in March

It definitely is a longish walk but not much more than your typical church aisle. I can't remember exactly, but it was something like 45-60 seconds from the top of the stairs to the ceremony point at a moderate walking pace.

Here are the shoes I had:

I also bought these (in white/silver) to change into for the late evening:

SoulMates were from Amazon.

Congrats! It's coming up soon!

I'm not much help since I decided to go with flip flops. I'm short and FI is tall (almost a 1' difference between the two of us) but I want to be comfortable so flip flops it is. http://www.etsy.com/listing/60257479/so-sweet-bride-hydrangea-with-crystal

I'm also wearing heels with soulmates.

also wearing solemates.... the just got home and fit perfectly in my heel, looks like theres a pretty good chance they'll work in grass, already recommended to all my female guests!

you can buy it on their website:

http://thesolemates.com/

make sure to contact them beforehand though to ask for sizes of the Narrow, Original and Wide versions, to see which one fits your shoes. I hand't realized that and had to return the original to exchange for a wide. the good news is that they were super fast in the email communication and in the exchange/shipping!

Thanks for the tips ladies. i found some stillettos and will hope the Soulmates do the trick (okay, maybe I'll have some backup wedge heels just in case, too)....
