Yes, I love wearing heels to outdoor weddings! And you should too.
As I stood on the lush green grass, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin and admiring the beautiful outdoor wedding venue before me, I couldn’t help but notice a few guests struggling to walk in their high heels. As someone who has attended and planned numerous outdoor weddings, I’ve often heard this question asked: “Do you wear heels to an outdoor wedding?” It’s a valid concern – after all, no one wants to be that person sinking into the ground or hobbling around in discomfort.
But fear not! In this blog post, we’ll explore whether or not wearing heels is a good idea for an outdoor wedding and provide some tips on how to make it work if you do decide to go for it. So grab a cup of coffee (or glass of wine) and let’s dive in!
The Enchanted Forest: A Tale of Heels and Grass
As I watched the guests struggling to walk in their heels, my mind wandered back to a particular outdoor wedding that I had attended. The venue was an enchanted forest – tall trees, wildflowers and a babbling brook created the perfect backdrop for the couple’s special day.
As soon as we arrived at the venue, it became clear that wearing heels would be challenging. The ground was covered with lush green grass and uneven terrain made walking difficult.
Despite this challenge, many of us decided to wear our favorite pair of high heels anyway – after all, they completed our outfits perfectly! However, as soon as we stepped onto the grassy area where chairs were set up for ceremony seating; some of us started sinking into soft spots on ground while others struggled with balance on uneven terrain.
It quickly became apparent that wearing high-heeled shoes wasn’t practical or comfortable in this setting. Many guests ended up taking off their shoes altogether or switching them out for more appropriate footwear like flats or sandals.
The moral of this story? While it may be tempting to wear your fanciest pair of heels to an outdoor wedding (especially if you’re dressing up), it’s important to consider whether they are suitable for your chosen location before making a final decision.
Beachside Bliss: To Heel or Not to Heel?
As I walked along the sandy beach, watching the waves crash against the shore and feeling a light breeze in my hair, I couldn’t help but think about how perfect this location would be for an outdoor wedding. But then came that nagging question again – what shoes should you wear? Specifically, can you wear heels to a beachside wedding?
The short answer is no. Heels and sand simply do not mix well together.
Not only will your heels sink into the sand making it difficult to walk gracefully (or at all), but they also pose a safety hazard as they could easily get stuck or cause you to trip.
So what are your options? Opt for flat sandals or wedges instead! They’ll keep your feet comfortable while still looking stylish and appropriate for an outdoor beach wedding. Plus, there are so many cute options out there that will complement any outfit.
When it comes to attending an outdoor beachside wedding, leave those high heels at home and embrace some chic flats or wedges instead!
Garden Romance: Navigating Nature in Style
When it comes to outdoor weddings, there’s something undeniably romantic about being surrounded by nature. The lush greenery, the blooming flowers, and the fresh air all contribute to a magical atmosphere that can’t be replicated indoors.
But as beautiful as it is, navigating nature in style can be a challenge – especially when it comes to footwear.
As I watched those guests struggling in their heels at the outdoor wedding I attended last summer, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for my own choice of shoes: a pair of comfortable yet stylish wedges that allowed me to move around with ease on both grass and gravel paths. While some may argue that heels are an essential part of any formal outfit (and they certainly do look stunning), they’re not always practical for an outdoor setting.
That being said, if you’re determined to wear heels at your next garden or beach wedding (or any other type of outdoor event), there are ways to make them work without sacrificing comfort or stability. Here are some tips:
Rustic Charm: Finding Balance On Uneven Grounds
When it comes to outdoor weddings, there’s something undeniably charming about rustic venues. From barns and vineyards to gardens and parks, these settings offer a unique ambiance that can’t be replicated indoors.
However, they also come with their own set of challenges – namely uneven grounds.
As I watched guests struggle in their heels at the last outdoor wedding I attended, I couldn’t help but think about how important it is to find balance on these types of surfaces. While flats or wedges may seem like the obvious choice for navigating rocky terrain or grassy fields, there are ways to make heels work if you’re determined to wear them.
One trick is opting for block heels instead of stilettos – this will provide more stability and prevent sinking into soft ground. Another option is wearing heel stoppers (also known as “heel protectors”) which can be easily slipped onto your shoes’ tips before walking on grass or gravel.
Ultimately though, comfort should always take priority over fashion when attending an outdoor wedding. If you’re not used to walking in high heels on uneven surfaces or simply don’t want the hassle of worrying about sinking into the ground all day long – consider ditching them altogether!
Vineyard Vows: Stilettos Vs Wedges Showdown
As I watched the guests struggling to walk in their high heels at the outdoor wedding, I couldn’t help but think about a recent vineyard wedding that I attended. The bride had requested that all female guests wear wedges instead of stilettos due to the uneven terrain of the vineyard.
At first, some guests were hesitant and worried about sacrificing style for comfort. However, as soon as they arrived at the venue and saw how beautiful it was, they quickly realized that wearing wedges didn’t mean sacrificing style after all.
In fact, many women found themselves opting for more stylish wedge options than what they would have chosen if stilettos were allowed. Wedge sandals with intricate lace detailing or metallic accents added an extra touch of elegance to their outfits while still being practical enough for walking on grassy hillsides.
So when it comes down to choosing between stilettos vs wedges for an outdoor wedding – especially one held in a vineyard – my advice is always go with wedges! They provide stability on uneven ground while still allowing you to look chic and fashionable.
