Outdoor wedding shoes?

[casacasa]

Friends of ours decided to get married in their backyard instead of postponing it again.

It’s mid September, I would get about 70’s or 80’s temp wise and semi formal attire.

I haven’t gotten a dress yet. What style shoe would you wear?

I have big feet, it’s hard to find size 11 and sometimes they’re still too small.

A chunky, block heeled sandal is my go-to outdoor event shoe. I have several pairs in various heel heights and a few different colors but most of them are along this line www.dsw.com/en/us/product/anne-klein-padrino-platform-sandal/476190?activeColor=286. Super simple and your heels won't sink but dressy enough for most occsions. 

Eta: These actually come in your size. www.dsw.com/en/us/product/journee-collection-becca-sandal/436594?activeColor=020&size=11

It depends on the dress, but you could do a strappy sandal, a simple pump (peep-toe or not), a pointy-toe ballet flat, a dressier ankle bootie, glitter sneakers ...

You have options.

I think it would totally depend on the dress you get.
I don’t think there are really many restrictions.
Likely some type of sandal would work well.

Strappy sandal with glitter or something making it a bit fancier. I wore these to a wedding in Costa Rica. They don't have them anymore because it was quite a few years ago, but I'm sure there's something like it available.

I don’t wear heels anywhere. Last year my BIL got married and my H wore a tux and I wore a silk maxi with flat rose gold leather sandals from J Crew.

So that’s my suggestion. Flat leather sandals.

I have big, wide feet.

I personally think that if it's outdoor, it's okay to wear anything that is comfortable and safe to you. I personally think that if it's outdoor, you are under no obligation to be stylish. But that's just me.

That’s a weird and ungenerous take. What is it about an outdoor wedding, particularly in the time of Covid, that warrants less care to your attire?

I don’t think she said anything weird.
Woman in particular often put fashion in front of comfort and/or safety.
I think she is saying that you don’t need to wear 3 inch heels for example, especially at an outdoor event where there might be more tripping hazards. So wear what is comfortable.
I’m not sure what Covid has to do with anything.

I was probably over reading.

The reference to COVID was because weddings, if they are happening, will be outdoors by necessity or by choice for the safety of the guests.

The phrase about not needing to be stylish rubbed me the wrong way, because I was reading it more broadly than relating only to shoes. I read it as not needing to worry about being stylish at all, just because the wedding was outdoors.



Sorry, susquehanna!

Wedge sandal heels.

I would do an espadrille, you could do a low flat or a wedge. I

Or

Both of these styles are versatile and can be worn later with jeans, skirts, shorts etc. I like to dress up jeans with something like this for date night.
