Beach Wedding Shoe Progress

Samantha, on March 7, 2022 at 4:12 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 3 4

Okay so I'm going to lead with: I LOVE details shots. I'm obsessed with them. They're some of my favorite parts of wedding photos.

I'm also going to lead with: I'm getting married on the beach, in the sand, and walking 10-15 minutes from the hotel to the beach (depending on where my rental company can unload, but also my dad may drive me, tbd). So I want shoes I know I can walk in.

I ordered these shoes from Dillard's, but I just don't love them. They aren't very me, even though I think they look nice with my (unaltered) dress. I also don't think they'll be very comfy.

On another trip to Dillards, I found these shoes on sales for 65% off and they're the perfect color, were the last pair in the entire store, and were in my size.

I've decided I'm going to return the sparkly sandals, lean into my vibe and get some platform Teva sandals in a metallic silver color, then just hand these blue shoes to my photographer for details shots and maybe a getting ready shot or two. Is that completely ridiculous? If they hadn't been only $30 I would never have done it 😅

    Do these blue shoes make you happy??? (how could they NOT!!) NOTHING is ridiculous when it comes to your wedding. I love them. Go with your gut.

    ..... and btw, I'm a shoe hoarder, so you may want another opinion. ROFLMAO Smiley laugh

    I love the shoes. That shade of blue is gorgeous. Will you be taking any photos on a boardwalk of some sort (aka a hard surface to stand on)? If so, you can change into those shoes for those pictures. You could have your photographer take pics of you hoisting up your dress to reveal your shoe. Then you can change into your sandals when you are walking to your venue and on the sand? Let us know what you decide!

    I don't think that's ridiculous at all!! I can't wear heels for a long time so I wore sparkly flats on my wedding day, but I thought about buying a pretty pair of heels just for the details shot!! Smiley laugh

    My biggest issue is figuring out how much to hem the dress 😂 With the heels, it doesn't need hemmed at all. With sandals, it will need those 3-4" taken off the length.

    I just ordered these:

    and I think they're going to be the right move. No one will see my feet for the ceremony and reception, but I loveeeeeeee Tevas and know these will be comfy, easy to get on and off (for me or my MOH or whoever), they'll be great in the sand, I'd wear them again. The straps are metallic, so they've got a little sparkle without being full on rhinestones. Also they're very me and all my 'maids love this 😂 My sister is going to get a pair of Tevas as well so we can take a sister Teva pic 💛

    But the blue shoes are 100% at least going to be in my details shots 😂😂😂😂
