Flats?

jneen101 · September 2013

Is anyone wearing flats instead of heels? I feel like everyone I know got married in beautiful fun heels and I love wearing super high heels in my regular life but I don't think I will want them at my wedding. My fiance is only about 2 inches taller than me and while I don't mind being taller than him now when we go out and I wear heels, I don't want to be towering over him at our wedding, and I don't want my feet to hurt later in the night, plus I feel like no one really sees them anyway so who cares. I found really cute flats on etsy that I love but they were $300 so, no. Any suggestions as to where I can find pretty flats that aren't grandma-ish? It's weird because I pretty much never wear flats now but I think I want them for my wedding.

I wore an adorable pair of ballet flats from DSW. They don't sell those particular ones anymore, but they had a lot of good options (you can search for "wedding flats" on their website). Mine cost around $60.00 I think. Plus, unlike a pair of fancy wedding heels, I can actually wear them again and again.

I chose this route because a) I wanted to be comfortable all night, b) when I wear heels DH and I are the same height and I think that makes him a little uncomfortable, and c) I do actually wear flats on a regular basis, so it just made sense to me.

modcloth.com maybe. Or you could wear kitten heels and still won't be taller than him.

I never wear heels but might wear little ones for the day of, I am not sure yet. Luckily, my FI is a lot taller than me so I don't have to worry about that.

I think flats are a great idea, particulary with a long dress where they won't be seen much. I buy a lot of shoes from Zappos. they have a lot cute ballerina styles that aren't too expensive. This is just an example, but I think would be great for a wedding. take a look:

I posted the blue here, but this style also comes in silver and ivory:

the black pair pop up when you click on this, but they have them in ivory also.

Thanks for the replies! I know some people like kitten heels but I think they are so, so ugly, (sorry) so that's not really going to be an option for me. I just can't get on board with the kitten heels. Oceansurf, I like that last pair you posted, thank you!

Here are a few more cute ones I came across that are reasoably priced. I'll leave you alone now!

I bought these flats. They are super comfortable and the sparkle beading was similar to the belt for my wedding dress. I don't think many people will see your shoes anyways, so I went for comfort!

I actually make my own sparky flat when I got married. If you don't mind to get your hands dirty, not a bad idea

Or you can always ask an artisan from etsy to do it.

I painted glitter on my flats and put my initials in crystals on the front

I also did this heels for a friend..Took me 3 days and I swear I never want to touch pearls again lol

I am wearing flats mine came from sears foe 25.00 I can not wear them again that's ok. They are lace and match my dress

I'm wearing $18 flats from Payless Shoes:

I'm wearing the sparkly silver ones for the wedding and I wear the gold sparkly ones for business casual.

gillespietjg · October 2013

Yep! Sparkly strappy sandles - totally flat. My fiance is about 1/2 inch taller than me and i don't want to be taller than him in pics! It took me forever to find the right pair.

I'm going to wear sandals that have absolutely no heals. That could always be an option too.

I wore blue flats I got from J Crew (no longer in stock there): http://www.lyst.com/shoes/jcrew-cece-suede-ballet-flats-byzantine-blue/

I LOVE them and I was really comfortable the entire night. I've actually worn them this week. I very rarely wear heels, though.

If you want flats and want something sparkly, J Crew actually has a pair of pretty cute gold flats right now: http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/shoes/PRDOVR~03733/03733.jsp (These are still a little pricy but J Crew does some pretty good sales - watch their site or sign up for their emails)

As someone else mentioned, ModCloth is another great option.

jneen101 · October 2013

Thanks everyone! Lots of good options here

Flats are hideous. And $300 is too much? Don't be so cheap. Do you live below the poverty line? Ew.

garnetandgold60 · March 2014

I'm actually going to be wearing a pair of Hushpuppys, they're a metallic gold ballet flat!
I found mine on amazon for about $60 or so and they're super comfy.

@bch325 you dug up an ancient thread to insult someone on their choice of shoes for their wedding. You are a real piece of work.

Here is another cute option from payless http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?catId=cat10088&subCatId=cat10289&skuId=139179050&productId=74175&lotId=139179&category=&catdisplayName=Womens

This poster is a legitimate crazy person. She went into another thread to say I lived in a slum because I lived in Collingswood NJ. Her posts are pretty amusing so I hope they continue! Cheers!

You mean you have your very own stalker troll? You lucky duck.

juliar14 · March 2014

I have a similar issue with being shorter (but not much shorter) than my FI. Have you thought about sliver wedges? The low gives you the lift of a heel (to show off your legs!) but you won't tower over your groom or have aching feet all night.

knapkinator · March 2014

I am 5'1'' and my fiance is 6'4''. Even if I wore heels he would tower over me. Do you think it would be okay if I wore flats? I never wear heels and I want to be comfortable.

marleighkay7 · March 2014

I'm wearing flats. I'm 5'7 and my fiance and is 6'2. I'm a huge fan of Toms and found an adorable pair of ivory crochet ones that I'm gonna wear. They are beautiful.

I am not a heels person, and definitely wanted to be comfortable for the wedding!

There were lots of cute flats around, but I had my heart set on pink satin flats, so I ordered the dyeable ones from david's bridal. Unfortunately, they got stained and had to be thrown out after the wedding, lol, so not exactly the most practical thing. But only cost like $30 or so.

Also, I first ordered the Dessy pleated satin flats, but they were really weird and wide. And I don't have a particularly narrow foot. I had to return them.

fam1820 · March 2014

I'm wearing flats! My wedding is in Gainesville, one of the hippie capitals- so I'm probably gonna go with the white glitter toms. hope you find some you love

alicialfisher · March 2014

I just found some kate spade cayman flats - super cute and oh so comfy!!

suburbanstepmom · March 2014

I am already pretty tall (5'9") and I had one helluva time finding a dress that even would touch the floor when I was shoe-less. So, I will be wearing flats.

I hadn't found any to buy yet, so I'm thankful for this thread. Lots of good ideas!

Flats?
