Every bride dreams of her Cinderella moment, when she slips into her delicate, beautifully embellished wedding shoes. But in dreams, you’re probably floating on air down the aisle. In real life…well, that depends on what type of aisle you have. If you’re getting married outside (which so many couples are), it’s probably grass, and those pretty designer spike heels will sink into the earth leaving you stumbling and your glass slippers ruined. So what’s a girl to do, settle for ugly shoes? Never. We’ve rounded up grass-friendly wedding shoes that are as attractive as they are functional. Happy shopping…
Shoes are obviously critical, but so are these other must-haves for your outdoor wedding. And while we’re on the subject of planning here are some pro tips on how to work with the weather instead of around it.
