Barefoot Bride?

As a guest I would wonder why you weren’t wearing shoes. It would be extremely odd if everyone else went barefoot too.

I would just worry about you stepping on something. I see wine glasses get broken accidentally all the time at weddings.

May I ask why?
This is what comes to my mind: cold feet (no pun intended lol); rough floors, especially with a barn wedding - splinter alert; super dirty feet that then make the bottom of the dress dirty, if you accidentally step on it; FH accidentally stepping on your toes while dancing (ouch); and the best one - spending time scrubbing your feet at the end of the night, not the most fun activity for your wedding night lol.

I wore heels for the ceremony and was barefoot for the reception. I lost track of my flip flops and didn’t care enough to look for them.
The only time it was noticeable was when we were being introduced and i held my dress up to walk. In the pics you can tell I don’t have anything on.
I don’t necessarily think your FH would need to be bare foot just because you are. You dress will cover your feet.

If your dress is long enough, no one would really notice. Your wedding party should probably wear shoes though. But hey, it’s YOUR wedding, so do what makes you comfortable and happy. I thought about walking barefoot, but I’m opting for a cute, comfy pair of white Keds instead. 😄 I could NEVER pull off heels and I wouldn’t dare try on my wedding day. I’m clumsy and they are NOT comfortable! Lol

I went barefoot at my first wedding, but it was in a backyard and I had someone go over it that afternoon to pick up any stones or pinecones. I'd be worried about detritus on the floor of a barn or the immediate surroundings. If the ground is clear, though, and you're absolutely sure (and you have backup shoes and a first aid kit on hand), go for it, and no one else has to be barefoot as well. You can be the only one.

To add what previous posters have said. Make sure you check with your venue that they are good with you being barefoot. I've been at a few places that for everything Kelly said ask that guests keep their shoes on

I don't think anyone else needs to be barefoot just because you are. As the bride, you're already going to be standing out and wearing something different from everyone else.

As for doing it outside of a beach wedding, I know my dress consultant suggested it as an option for my backyard wedding, so apparently it is done in other venues. I opted not to, because I worry about stepping on something. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with it though, so if that's what you want to do, go for it!

With a barn wedding I would worry about splinters.

If you’re in a long dress I think very few people will notice though I think it’s slightly odd. Just my personal preference! If you’re in a short dress, I think it would be extremely odd. Again, my preference is shoes. Going barefoot just seems odd even at a beach ceremony in my opinion though

If you decide on this, I would at least suggest the foot jewelery people where to beach weddings. The ones that are a toe ring and anklet connected. So it's fancy still not just barefoot

I am having a barn wedding and I will be barefoot for ceremony and reception! My mom made me barefoot sandals in our wedding colors (minus they gray) for myself and my girls to wear.

Hey Bridget! have you made a definite decision about going barefoot on your wedding day?

View Quoted Comment I haven't. The wedding isnt until 2021 so I still have quite a bit of time until I need to make a final decision.

Do it! I will be going barefoot also. Partially for health reasons. But also for comfort, to be grounded and I usually end up barefoot at every wedding I am in anyways!

I'll most likely end up barefoot by reception times. Still have yet figure out what shoes I'll be wearing.
