Wedding dress & shoes

Kailey, on March 11, 2020 at 10:53 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
Hi everyone! So, I am getting my wedding dress altered this weekend, but I’m trying to figure out what to do with my show situation. I have a pair of 4 inch heels I’m wearing at the wedding but i was planning on wearing converse for the reception. Does anyone think it will look crazy with the length difference?

    I don’t think it will look crazy, but it’s pretty likely you’ll step on and trip over your dress throughout the reception

    I agree with PP. I don't think it will look bad necessarily, but it probably won't be very comfortable to walk/dance in.

    I talked to my seamstress about this. She said she usually tries to go for somewhere in the middle, so maybe just a little short of the ceremony (usually not enough to be noticeable by guests) and a little longer for the reception (but not too long you will be tripping).

    I took both pairs of shoes with me to my alterations appointment and once we added the petticoat under it, and my ceremony heels, it was the perfect length. She could have taken a half inch up so that it wouldn't be quite as long for the reception, but I decided it wasn't worth the money. Once it is bustled, it kind of pulls up the length anyway. I walked around in my reception shoes and didn't think it would be much of a problem.

    Hi Kailey,
    I'm going to have the same problem as you, we might be tripping over our dresses, so I'm going to change into a second dress, I'm having a winter wedding where snow would be a possibility so I'm wearing these booties!Wedding dress & shoes 1

    I love 💕💕 mine too! I dreamed about finding my dream dress, every girl does right? but it will be so much easier for dancing at getting around the room to change my bridesmaids will wear that dress you saw, but in lilac, as opposed to my lavender, I bought a preservation kit for my wedding gown, are you doing that?
