While beach weddings seem to be the craze these days, what about
beach wedding shoes? The shoes are usually the most overlooked item when
planning a wedding but with a beach wedding, they get completely
forgotten! This is understandable- a wedding by the sea can be a fun
thing to plan and can really get those creative juices flowing. So are
the wedding shoes really that important?
Beach Days
Beach wedding shoes are far more important than you think. To better understand why, let's take a look at beach weddings themselves. Most of them are held right in the sand, with a breathtakingly blue seascape to the side. For many, this killer location forms a big part of the overall wedding ambiance. As a result, the rest of the wedding tends to be a little less formal. For example, men might opt for something more casual than a tuxedo. The atmosphere is usually a relaxed, often fun-filled one.
Because of this informal atmosphere, many people tend to dispense with the designer wedding shoes entirely. But that doesn't mean that you can show up for the ceremony barefoot- after all, it is a wedding. So what exactly are you supposed to wear? Not only should your shoes be elegant and befitting a wedding, they should be comfortable as well. The good news is that with a little practical thinking, it's easy to decide on the perfect beach footwear.
Sand, Surf And Sun
Instead of focusing on designer bridal shoes right now, let's take a look back at some famous 'walks on the beach' scenes from your favorite movies. In a number of them, you'll notice that the woman is carrying her shoes in her hand. What kind of shoes are they? Not high heels- that's because these are the worst things to wear when you are on the beach. It is next to impossible to walk in ankle-deep sand in high heels. You can safely rule them out as your shoe of choice for the beach wedding.
A good pair of beach wedding shoes should be sand-friendly- that means they shouldn't keep filling up with sand each time you walk. Avoid any shoes that have a closed toe- your best bet is to find something like a pair of flip-flops. These are light, easy to wear and they are perfect for walking on the beach.
Don't be so quick to dismiss flip flops as being way too casual for beach wedding shoes. You can find a range of flip flops made with different materials- they aren't always hot pink with a black rubber sole! You can find some elegant sandals that have exquisitely crafted thongs. There are also some wonderful shoes made out of woven material- the perfect complement to an elegant summer dress. It's easy to find the perfect pair of beach wedding shoes when you know what you're looking for.
