The shoe dilemma

[Katelyn Carney]

Not sure I posted this in the right place, but I can't figure out where else to post this.

 

This is my problem--or dilemma, I am getting married in the DR in Oct, I am not very coordinated and can't walk in heels on pavement let alone sand, but I don't want to do barefoot either, so I am trying to figure out what type of shoes to wear.

 

I have seen some flats but they aren't that nice and my dress is all lace, so I don't want to wear something boring...

 

Any ideas on where to look for flat sandals that aren't flip flops that I can acutally walk in on the sand!

 

TY!

i ended up kicking mine off and going barefoot, but lots of girls also go with wedge shoes.  i am going to move this into an area of the forum where you should be able to find more threads on shoes too!

I was going to say what Ann said, a lot of girls wore wedges.  I still think it's hard to walk on sand so I went barefoot and I wore a full lace dress as well.  In fact, I love the juxtaposition of the fancy lace with the barefoot look.  Here is a pic that my mom took that I've always liked.

 

Damn, I'm trying to share the pic, but the kodak website is down and I can't access it right now.  I'll post back when I can.

 

But my point is that you can do whatever you want.  I truly feel that you have the freedom to do whatever you want in a DW, so your shoes don't have to "match" your dress as long as you like it together and are comfortable.

Thanks for all the advice! I have plenty of time to decide on what shoes to wear :)

Found my "beach" shoes on etsy, many sellers have nice bridal flip flops, some with wedge. I read some bride here who even had their own DYI bridal flip flops. I am not that creative so bought mine. I was able to find the perfect height wedge flip flop. I am not very tall so need the heel! I am waiting to get it by mail.

I agree!  Etsy has some beautiful shoes that would look great with your dress!

I think flipflops or wedges are ok ~
