At a Loss For Words

I am going to look there but I have many heels so wondering do I really need anymore ha ha.

Buwhahaha I have had that thought too and I would like some wedding shoes. I am a 9 which jj house has but some heels I need to go to at least 9 1/2 depending on the fit. I could donate some feels I do not wear to make space now that you make that excellent point ha ha.

LOL okay will look. Thanks so much darling!

Although at first it seemed odd to me, daughter choose to wear Converse with her very formal aline ballgown wedding dress. She had looked for flats and couldn't find any that she liked/were comfortable. She lives in Converse whenever possible, so it made sense. She chose them in the wedding color and we had them customized with her new name & wedding date. They were adorable and, most importantly for her, she was super comfortable for the 14 hours she had them on the day of the wedding. However, they literally NEVER showed, except when she lifted her skirt coming down the stairs into the ceremony location. They don't show in any photos except those where the photographer had her lift her skirt to show them off. If your sister selects a floor length gown without a slit, then I don't think it really matters because they won't show. But, with the dress you've posted, I can see why you don't want her to wear Keds -- they would definitely show, and I think they'll look kind of odd for the level of formality you're describing. I'd probably let her choose one or the other -- Keds worn with a dress without a slit or the dress with the slit but more traditional shoes. Daughter's BMs wore long dresses. She asked them to get nude closed-toed shoes. They all chose something different in terms of style, heel-height, etc., but you cannot tell in a single photo, so in a long dress without a slit I don't think it matters. Good luck negotiating with your sister!

Thank you! She is also considering a different dress which I have linked below so either way you would be able to see her shoes.

She is also thinking possibly this dress which you would see shoes even more. I was thinking she could wear them for the reception and something more formal for the ceremony and photos.

Yeah, unless she's like 14 years old, and everyone expects her to be a little "quirky," I'd stand by telling her she can choose either the Keds and a full-length dress OR a dress with a slit/short underskirt/whatever and dressier shoes. But the Keds require she wear something where they won't show, at least during the ceremony and photos. With the wedding in July, she should be able to find silver, flat sandals super cheap (if you want, you could even offer to buy them for her) and then wear the Keds for the reception. Good luck!

She is 22 so definitely not a child. I will talk to her and see what she say. I am hopefully we can come to some type of compromise. Thanks!

I think they are totally fine. Her dress is long, no one will even see them or care.

I think it is totally fine to say "no sneakers" for the wedding, especially if you are willing to give her the option of slipping into Keds for the reception, after the ceremony and all the photos are taken.

I think my MOH will be in the same dress, btw! With that dress, I'd say no sneakers if you want a more formal look.
