    ok so here are MY wedding heels :]

    anyone else opting for flats on the big day?!?! :  wedding My Shoes

     

     

    now, i KNOW they're not your typical heels, but i'm not the typical bride. i'm just wearing these for the wedding day photos btw, like with my bridesmaids downtown before the ceremony. i'm actually wearing some cute deep red flats for the actual ceremony and dance reception, seeing as i'm not a heel kinda girl :P

    i'm also going to be wearing these sugar skull heels in our 'pre-wedding day photos' with a black top and skinny jeans, to have displayed at the reception with the future husband to be.

     

    here are the flats...

    so, to the point of this post!!!...are any other brides going the route i am?? i feel like a "sissy" for not being a heel girl, but i'm not into pain on my wedding day ha :]  pics of your heels, flats, or whatever are more than welcomed! comments too!

    I had to wear flats because FI is only one inch taller than me :(  He didn't want me taller than him at the ceremony, bless his heart.  Mine are really ugly but thankfully they'll be hidden by my dress

    Not a sissy at all!

    I'm opting for flats for my entire wedding day.  I figure it'll be hot in July and i'll have a big white dress on, i might as well have comfortable feet :)

    I had heels and flats, and I'm sooo glad I had the flats.  I wore my heels for a few hours, but the venue was outdoors and the ground was pretty soft in spots from rain the previous weekend.  It was so nice putting on my flats and being able to get around easier!

    I found amazing glittery flats that I'll be wearing for the wedding day. I wear heels all the time to work and such, but FI isn't that much taller than me, and we want to keep it that way for photos on the big day :)

    I wore heels for the ceremony and some of the pictures. Then I switched to flats. My feet in the heels were killing me and I was afraid I was going to fall on my face, lol. Even in the flats, I still ended up with blisters because we danced so much. I am so happy I brought the flats - I know I would have ended up barefoot if I hadn't.

    i had planned on wearing flats for my wedding but after getting my dress altered it just didnt flow they way it should so i opted for low heels (had i gone any taller my dress would be too short) i was sad i didnt get to wear my cute red flats though :(

    I'm wearing flats. Everyone has been so opinionated about this and telling me I should wear heels (I never wear heels and it's a beach/garden wedding so I don't see the point) and I like my height compared to my FH cause he says we 'fit' together (he is tall, i'm not so tall). I feel bad about wearing them due to everyones opinions but whatever you are comfortable with go ahead and wear!

    I wore my heels for the church ... and that was basically it. ;)

    I opted for gumboots during our outdoor pics (wet weather) and flats for reception and dancing.

    I WAS going to wear flats. And then it turns out they measured me wrong (and hemming isn't an option) so without heels my hemline is way too long. 

    So I'm wearing wedges. Ugh.

    I'm wearing heels for the ceremony and some photos (in a kerry green colour) and then changing into my lime green converse for reception.  I have a back injury, so I can't wear heels for long periods of time, plus I love my chucks and they're so me.

    If you're wearing heels and flats... won't your dress drag on the ground? I was considering doing heels/flats but opted for Naturalizer 3 in heels that are pretty comfy and still bringing some platform blinged out flip flops just in case.

    I am about 90% sure I will be wearing flats! I'm getting married in a garden and I don't want my heels poking through the grass as I'm walking down the aisle.  Also my dress length is PERFECT and does not need to be altered so if I wear a heel it might look a little short.

    @Ill Be Mrs B: I had my dress altered to be a LITTLE higher than normal (with heels on) because I knew I'd have flats at some point.

    The dress shuffled on the floor a little at the reception, but nothing major. Indoors was fine.

    I'm definitely on the bandwagon with you ladies! I will be wearing flats, but I'm still searching for the perfect pair of champagne or gold beauties with just a little shine!

    @assilem: I don't think those are ugly at all! I love the lacy pattern! I bet they'll be super comfy too!

    This thread got me looking at shoes on etsy, and I found a few that I think are super cute! I am not comfortable in high heels, so I'll be wearing flats or a very low heel.

    @Wonderstruck: I love those! I wanted to get those, but they never had my size!

     

    My mom kept fighting me about wearing flats. My FI and I are about the same height. I insist that I am a fracton taller :) I got 3 in heels. I mean people know how tall I am I can take them off for pictures if I have to or if he wants me to, but I'm not really self conscious about it.

    My shoes came today!  They have a slight wedge and still seem formal enough for my dress and our evening wedding.  They are more red and less pink in person.

    These are the flats I have right now. I had a hard time finding plum flats that I liked. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I checked all the usual places- Zappos, DSW, Endless.
