Black Cowboy Boots - Weird for Bride?

MrsD, on May 22, 2019 at 12:16 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19

Please help! I've been searching for months for cowboy boots to wear during our wedding. I looked at almost every white option (probably 5 in person, 10+ online). I was always like "meh" when I saw them, none jumped out at me as being super cute or the perfect shoes for my wedding. My fiance is wearing black cowboy boots & a black suit.

I have a pair of boots I love. They are Lucchese boots, black, hair-on cowhide. They are so beautiful, I wore them for graduation (my father gifted them to me then). They are my fanciest boots & I just love them. They are also meaningful to me since my dad purchased them for me for a big accomplishment in my life. I've been playing around with the idea of wearing them, but my mother/MOH/her mother said it would be weird to wear black boots.

So my question is, is it weird? My dress and veil are white. I'll wear minimal accessories. My dress is long, so honestly you probably won't see the boots other than when I pull my dress up to show them for pictures.

Thoughts?! Help!

    It's not weird. I've seen a lot of Brides wear dark colored cowboy boots for their wedding. I'm wearing a dark pair that I already own too.

    THAT'S WHAT I SAID. Ugh. I'm happy you said that, they threw me off. Obviously a white dress makes sense, but I had never heard that about shoes.

    I think they will actually look really cute with your dress!

    I don't think it's weird at all, especially because you said they won't show much anyway unless you want them to! These are so pretty too, and it would be nice to wear something meaningful from your dad!

    I think they are very formal and it will be nice. A lot of brides do brown boots, and that's even less formal usually, and to me that looks good too!

    I think that would be awesome! I wore green sneakers at my wedding and my wife wore red ones.

    Everyone seems in consensus and I totally agree. My friend did the same exact thing. Plus, with such a sentimental reason itll be sweet to honor that!

    I don't think it's weird. I couldn't tell you a time where I've ever seen a bride wear white boots, they're usually brown or black. Plus, you already have them and they're obviously meaningful, so I say wear what you have!
