    We are having a small, informal, outdoor ceremony, with dinner to follow at a local restaurant.  My dress is very casual, and I've been looking for the perfect shoe.  I have some serious issues with shoes....#1, my foot is very wide & I have bunions on them, and #2, I can't walk in heels to save my life.  So, I've been trying to find the perfect flat sandal to wear with my dress.  But, spending over $50 on something to wear only one time has been so hard for me to do.  I have no reservations about spending money on something I will wear & that will be very comfortable.  Sooooo, I just found these adoreable flip flops that I LOVE!  They're not super dressy, so I know that I will wear them lots after the wedding.  They are by Clark's, which I know will be very comfy....BUT.....will they work FOR the wedding? 

    Here is my dress (minus the wrap):

    Absolutely! I love your pretty, casual look! I think those sandals are not only perfect with your dress but delightfully rewearable!

    Who's going to see your feet? I'm in the "wear whatever you want on your feet" camp.

    I wore these: http://pics.boards.weddingbee.com/112899.alontae.jpg and have worn them a ton since.

    I think they're perfect. The important thing is you will be comfortable!!!! I'm wearing lovely satin flats - made by Dr Scholls (complete with memory foam soles) lol. But, I really don't wear heels anymore because FI is an inch taller than me and I'm no longer in an office setting where I wore them often, so they're not comfy anymore. the thing is, no one will really see them, but my feet will be happy. I think these will be comfortable and appropriate for your wedding... and super adorable.

    I'll be honest, I think they look a tad bit casual for your dress. Target actually has some very cute sandals that I think would look even better. I found a pair their that I'll be changing into for the reception.

    yeah..the brown throws me off a little...look for an all white sandal or flip flop that you could rewear...or just wear what you want and ignore my advice..it is YOUR wedding! wear what makes you happy

    I think they work perfect for an outdoor garden wedding! if you like them and feel confortable and confident in them.. then they are perfect. However, if you dont feel confident in them you will worry about your feet your entire wedding.

    Thanks ladies, I love them & I'm going to order them with this Friday's paycheck.  I honestly don't think anyone at our wedding will see them, unless I show them off, and I would rather be comfy & know that it's money well-spent.  Smile

    Those look great and great to wear again :)  My sister wore little white flip flop bamboo type sandals and loved that her feet didn't kill her.
