Well, they do have those heel savers that keep stilettos from sinking in to the grass:

I've never tried them, but I have heard good things!
You can also search Endless.com by the style of the shoe, height/style of the heel, price, color, size, and more!
I've also heard good thing about the heel savers. I don't think anyone will see them very much. If you want a photo op where you would actually see a close up of the heel of your shoe, you could always remove them for just a minute...
I'm using heel savers for my wedding, but I'm using a different kind than MJ recommended.
I've tried these out - http://thesolemates.com/
Thanks Frenchie - I KNEW one of the bees was using them. I couldn't remember the brand when I searched! :)
I hope you have better luck than I did! I wanted a wedge without a really high heel so that I don't look strangely tall in pictures, but the choices seemed to be high heel and cute or mid/low heel and very not cute. I finally went for a pointier heel and will be practicing not sinking into the dirt, which may be more challenging with the dress on. If you do find something, share with us! With 3 weeks to go I could still get something shipped :)
I had sole mates for my wedding. My heel was pretty thin and they did fit but didn't last, the heel slips into another part of the heel stopper and then slips out I would say in a period of a couple hours max. It was kind of annoying but my heel was thinner then the heel stopper to begin with so I just used them anyway. I bought a pair of sole mates for each of my bridesmaids and theirs eventually shifted and then fell out too it just took them longer because their heels actually fit into them. They worked well enough for the bridesmaids to be ok in the grass for the ceremony but I was sinking because my heel stoppers already fell off by then about 2 hours after I put them on. So I just shifted my weight during my ceremony and I was fine.
I'm having the exact same problem with shoes. I've used heel savers for my dance shoes ( I'm a ballroom/swing dancer), and they worked well enough then, but they don't do an especially good job of displacing the weight of the heel. I've been looking for low vintage pumps, which tend to have a wider heel base. You can usually find things like that at thrift stores. However, heels.com has some pretty fun shoes, too.
Good luck shoe hunting! :D
I think that ballet flats are gorgeous, vintage, and will be a piece of cake in that grass. JCrew has some drool-worthy ones. Ballet flats remind me of Audrey Hepburn...
Heh heh, I went a slightly different route for our vintage outdoor wedding...

Those are so vintage! I love them DG! Like something you'd see in Paris at the turn of the centurey. Very Tulouse La Trec as I can so see you wearing this with that dress and all its ruffley gorgeousness! (sp?)
I love your shoes DG. Those are so cute.
Thanks! I do think of Moulin Rouge when I put them on. They are really comfy, which was the most important thing... well that and the fact that they won't sink in grass ;)
I had the exact same problem. Not only is our wedding oustide, but there's a slight slope to my "aisle." I looked and looked and right before I just gave up, one of the bees (I can't think which one, sorry!) posted about her shoes, so I got them in a different color. Still dressy and pretty enough for a wedding, but comfortable and flat. I actually found quite a few I liked at amazon.com, surprisingly.
I'll attach a picture of the shoes. Here's the link:

DG just stole my heart! Anyone that sports Fluevogs at their wedding is cool in my book.
A nice thick heel works too. I really like these. http://www.zappos.com/product/7554571/color/552
I should have thought about my shoe situation more carefully. I sunk into the grass outside of the ceremony site during photos so by the time the reception began I switched into flip flops. Oh well.

We are having an outdoor wedding with a vintage theme and I am having trouble finding shoes that I wont sink into the grass in. Any ideas? I like the idea of a wedge, so i'm still dressy, but I dont want to spend a lot either. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
