    Cowgirls boots? Do you like bridesmaids in boots?

    Not really, and I think you may regret the photos of them later on.

    It's just a thought, I think it looks very cute in pictures however I am not sure how well it would translate into the guests eyes.

    If it suits your/their personality as well as the style of the wedding, I think it looks nice. However, it's not my style and I would feer super uncomfortable in them so I wouldn't ask my girls to buy cowgirl boots if it's not their style either.

    I think it depends on the wedding.

    If you're going for a country/western wedding then absolutely yes.

    Mrs. Cowboy Boots had her girls wear cowboy boots and it was fantastic! The pictures were awesome! But then her photographer was pretty spectacular!

    OK. I lied! I could have sworn I saw pics of BMs in cowboy boots at Mrs CB's wedding!

    I think it can be incredibly cute! It will bring the formality down a notch, but I can see it working perfectly with a more rustic wedding!

    I am very old school and said no way, sorry cowboy boots don't belong in wedding. That is also my personal opinion

    I do not like cowboy boots at all, only the really high end versions actually look good on people. Some brides and their bridesmaids are able to pull of the cowboy boots look but its just generally not that easy to do.

    I think it depends, I've seen a select few weddings where it really works, but you really need to have the right setting and style of wedding.

    I wore cowboy boots, but my BMs didn't (they would have but 2 of them didn't own them, and I didn't want them to buy them.)

    I wear boots pretty frequently - its very common in Texas to wear boots & dresses at multiple events through the summer: concerts, all sporting events esp football games, and just out!

    We were married outdoors in the Austin Texas Hill Country, so wearing boots fit the venue :)

    Very cute & yes I would just throw the option out there to the girls to see what they thought first.

    I'm from Oklahoma and it is super common to see girls in dresses and boots in the spring/summer/fall.  It looks awesome to me.  For someone who isn't from the area, I'm sure it looks strange.  One of our good friends changed into her cowboy boots after the ceremony so she would be comfy and could dance at the reception.  this is what I have thought of doing.  Fantastic heels for the ceremony and pictures, and a great pair of cowboy boots for the party.

    I'm wearing boots!!! I have maybe 8 pairs and do the books for my family's cotton farm. I'm having 9 bridesmaids, all of which already own boots except for 1, and another BM is loaning her a pair so she doesn't have to buy them. They are picking out their own dresses too. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I love boots w dresses (see my epics) but I do think it's odd when people wear them in their wedding simply because it's trendy or cute, even if it's not "them"

    I think it can be super cute depending on the wedding. The only thing I would worry about would be the cost, since boots can be really expensive.

    If they're something you wear often and are easily part of your identity, then I guess they can be cute, but I think it's kind of weird people who never wear anything remotely like cowboy boots wear them for their wedding. I know a girl who grew up in Atlanta and is very much a jeans/tshirt girl and she wore cowboy boots and I was like, WTF that has no bearing on your personality? It's not that they looked bad in and of themselves, just out of place.

    While I didn't wear cowboy boots (although I have 'em), I did wear Victorian lace boots and they were a HUGE hit!

    I hate wearing shoes and have over 2 dozen pairs of boots. So wearing boots was a natural thing for me to do. I say go for it!!!
