Shoe for beach wedding- walking on sand
Hi ladies-
I'm going to be in a beach wedding. What type of shoe would be best for walking on the sand and still looking nice? A sandal? Flip flop? Something else?
The bride said she is ok w sandals and flip flops.
TIA

Barefoot.
I find it really uncomfortable to walk on the sand in any type of footwear.
If you do need to wear something, flip flops tend to kick up the sand.
At a beach wedding a few years ago, I wound up carrying my sandals and walking barefoot on the sand. It was also easier to take the pictures.

Re: Shoe for beach wedding- walking on sand
I like a flip flop type shoe with an arch just to dress it up a bit more. Like the PP said... you'll probably wind up being barefoot anyway, but before the sand and for pics it'll be nice. Just concentrate on a fun, beachy nail polish color for your pedicure.

Re: Shoe for beach wedding- walking on sand
Thanks. I don't feel comfortable barefoot since I'm officiating and need to be professional.
What would you want your officiant to wear?

Toms? Or I would go barefoot. Flip flops def kick up sand, and sandals with straps tend to accumulate sand inside them.

Re: Shoe for beach wedding- walking on sand
I'd want you to be barefoot! To me, beach wedding means carefree, casual, maybe a bit hippy dippy

Hmmm.... Maybe the fancy flip flop....
I have dressy black leather sandals w jewels on them and I don't want them to get all gross in the sand and I have a pair of navy/white haviana flips flops- too casual.

Re: Shoe for beach wedding- walking on sand
You can probably find fancy flip flops in DSW if you don't want to spend too much b/c you don't thin you'll where them much ( unless you get asked to officiate a lot of beach weddings in the future!)
ETA-What are you wearing?

Cool thanks! Well, I am close to the jersey shore, so it could happen again! Most weddings I do are at catering halls & restaurants. I've done outdoor weddings before but there's always been hard ground.
I'll be wearing a black suit. There will be some color in my prayer shawl.

I have nice tori burch flip flops if you'd like to borrow. A lot of dressy sandals. I'm a size 7. I think you live close so you're more than welcome to come by and check them out.

Re: Shoe for beach wedding- walking on sand
OMG Erica that is so sweet of you! I'm not far from you.
The wedding is the end of May. If I can't find anything nice that's reasonable, I would love to take you up on your offer. I wear a 6.5 or 7 depending on the shoe.
Thank you!!!!!

I did a low wedge for a wedding on the beach last spring. It worked well.

Re: Shoe for beach wedding- walking on sand
I was the MOH in a beach wedding last year. The bride bought us all flip flops to wear for the ceremony. If she hadn't I would have bought either a wedge shoe or a flip flop anyway.

no problem at all. You are more than welcome to raid my shoe closet. Wish I had some nice events coming up I could wear them to.
Although we do have a Bat Mitzvah tomorrow... not wearing flip flops though. That's about it for a while. LOL
