Sneakers (Chuck Taylors)

MekMek, on September 15, 2011 at 1:40 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22

My FH is dead set on the guys wearing low top Chuck Taylors with their grey suits which is fine. I adore the idea and the fact that he is participating in the planning but last night he asked me if my BMs would be wearing them too. I hadn’t giving this a thought until then and yes it did keep me up most of the night.

I’m not sure if I want everyone one is sneaker.

As anyone seen, thought about, or is planning on wearing sneakers in their wedding? If not what would your initial thought be when you saw an entire wedding party in sneakers?

The first photo is the look my FH is going for. The second is a random photo I found of an entire bridal party.

    We are actually having our guys wear DVS's. Fh will be wearing them too. We are having the girls wear heels though because I just don't think it will look right if they wear sneakers with their dresses.

    We tried to get the GM's to do Chucks, but no luck :-/ I'm wearing silver sparkly ones, and thought the idea would be cute to have everyone including the kids wear em too.....we planned to have the BM's wear fancy shoes for the fancy girly type pictures and then have a huge group shot of all the wedding party in Chucks with shoelaces that matched our colors (horizon blue) That way, everyone was happy. Our feeling was if the bridesmaids want to keep wearing them after the ceremony and pictures, they can, if they want to only wear them for the pictures, then that was okay too. Good luck!!

    I actually think the idea is cute! I'm am considering getting all my bridesmaids chuck taylor's for the wedding day but haven't decided since about half of my girls are more the "girly girl" type!

    I thought about sneakers for my FH and his sons (ages 13 and 9 currently) but FH wanted air force 1's and I refused to pay that much for sneakers...so we are sticking to the shows you get from David's bridal lol

    This was FH's contribution to the wedding planning. He wants the entire bridal party to change into Chucks for the reception. The only one that excited about it is 13 yr.old daughter. Luckily, I found some pretty darn close to the color of the dresses. So the ladies will have on the teal ones and the men will be wearing grey.

    I've never thought about this idea, but now that I am reading this post, I'm loving it! FH is a chuck-o-holic! He's got so many pairs of them! I'd love to do this for both the BM and the GM, even if it is just for pics!

    Believe me when I tell u. I am wearing chucks under my wedding dress. I am getting them bling out. My mother is having a fit but it's my day I want to be comfortable. I got my BM chucks and they said they will wear them at the reception. I don't see nothing wrong with. I personally love chucks. I have them in 10 different colors

    I love it when a Bride does something that is so originally "her". Do you wear chucks normally? Something about wearing normal shoes and being all dolled up is just adorable!

    Not only will it make for great photos, but you guys will be so comfortable!

    I have seen on ebay people selling chucks completely blinged out, maybe you could do something like that for the girls, to make it a little more dressy?

    @slthompson his mother is having a fit but then again she wanted are colors to be ivory and peachy pearl. Straight old school : |

    I found our grey chucks at Foot Locker during one of there 50% sales so we purchased a pair for all of his GMs. Another one of my DIY projects is to label them with our date.
