June 2012 Weddings

Re: EXPIRED

  • You are having a beach wedding, right? I think flip flops are perfectly acceptable for a beach wedding. If you were having a church wedding, it's very inappropriate.

  • My FI had two things he wanted. My hair down and for me to not wear flip flops. I have a floor length dress and would love a pretty pair of bridal flip flops but because I love them. But for him I'm not going to. MY MOH is wearing a shorter dress and wearing very dressy flip flips as in they are silver glitter with a black wedge heel. I dont feel like that violates FI request as long as she is not slap slap slapping down the aisle. With your dresses you're not likely to even see their shoes except maybe in some fun wedding photos. You offered to buy her different shoes, she declined so you can't exactly MAKE her pick different shoes.

    This! As long as they don't make the flip flop noise down the isle. And you mentioned you bought them flip flops for the beach pictures so I'd leave it be.

  • I'm getting married in 20 days and my fianc hasn't inquired about my bridesmaids' footwear. Are you sure your fianc really cares about this? I would let this slide. You'll have plenty of bigger decisions to make in the next month.
  • Honestly, with long dresses no one will really see their shoes.  As long as she's not walking loudly I don't think her shoe choice is something to worry about.

  • Brandon pretty much booked our vendors for our date and he doesn't care about my girl's shoes. His yes, but definitely not there's. Honesty from all your posts it seems like you're asking all of us for advice on what we think instead of talking to your FI about it. I'm also really trying to not be mean, but you would get a lot more answers if you condensed your posts. Every one seems to be a novel.
  • Do you care what she wears?
    If you are okay with the flip flops I would let her wear them. Honestly, on the day of is your FI gonna even see them? and if he does she the shoes is he going to say something? I am sure there will be more important things on his mind.

    I agreed with CvilleClaire.. the wedding is soooo close, this really should be the least of your worries right now. :)

    <div>Exactly this. Anyone petty enough to care about what shoes your bridesmaids are wearing under their long dresses is not worth listening to.</div>
  • It seems a little odd that your FI cares this much about someone else's shoes.

    </div><div>Honestly, I agree with Kelsey 100% on having a FI not care about the BM's shoes, on the fact it seems that you aren't talking to your Fi and that your posts are too long. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to help you get the best answers possible...really long post tend to turn people away. </div>

    This is kind of a weird post. Why are you requiring they run their shoe choice by you? They are in long dresses, no one will see their shoes. Let them where what's comfortable, even if they are different heights. If all your other BM wanted 4" heals and I was the odd man out, I'd look like an idiot trying to walk down the aisle. And WTF does your FI care about this? I find that especially strange...

    Seriously even when the BMs are in short dresses no one notices their shoes (unless they are like, lucite 6in hooker heels). I say whatever they feel comfortable wearing, let them wear them. Imagine you were in a friend's wedding and the groom told YOU what kind of shoes you could wear? I would tell him he can dictate my shoes as long as I can dictate his underwear.
