I’m Thinking Flat

May 19th, 2009 @ 9:29 am by Mrs. Swan

Shoes.

I know I want flat shoes for our wedding because Mr. Swan is my shorty… literally… hee hee! :) I don’t want to be much taller than him on the Big Day.

How about these?

My feet get hot in the summer, so sandals are definitely the way to go.

The bling… well… hey, everybody’s got to get the bling on somehow. :)

Anybody else wearing flats?

Love all your picks — and any of them would be so cute post-wedding with jeans or a fun skirt!

Oooo thanks for this post Miss Swan. I want to keep my heel under 2″ because Mr. MJ and I are close to the same height. These are so cute!

I have a short groom, too, but I’m a shorty too : )

Those are really cute options. You could also look at platinum or gold jack rogers. Love em!

I like all of these shoes, but a word of warning: When I tried shoes just like these, the brown color of the top of the sole looks too casual when paired with a wedding dress. Your foot won’t totally cover it; it’ll extend past your toes. And despite the bling, it wound up looking very casual.

I vote for the first pair too! If I weren’t only 5′1″ I would totally wear flats.

I’d love to wear flats! Alas, I’m the shorty of the Yorkie duo and can use the extra lift.

I am 5′10″, fiance is 5′4″. I will def be wearing something flat/with a very small heel. He could care less, he likes to remind that I’m already 6 inches taller…so really, what’s a few more? I just don’t want to feel too gigantic. Maybe the trick will be to find him some shoes with a little heel? haha Regardless, I am loving those flats….comfy, chic, and potentially very rewearable (which makes them double chic in my book!)

@kara: I think they are from Mystique. It seems like their style, but I haven’t been able to find them yet exactly.

Oooh, I wish I were tall enough to wear flats! I love the last pair. Very chic and not at all “cutesy” <– (you cracked me up in your cup cake post about wanting something exceptionally un-cutesy. you’re funny!)

Great post! My groom is several inches shorter than me, so my flat search was a tough one. I finally went with these:

But I’m also thinking maybe I should have a pair of sandals like yours to let my toes have a break…

Thanks for this post! i’m also planning to wear flat sandals since they go with my dress better than heels, and also, I’m getting married outside in central america in the middle of the rainy season(!). I’ve been having a hard time deciding on what kind of flat sandals to wear, so this post has given me some ideas. In terms of which ones YOU should wear….I think that the simpler the dress, the more bling bling the shoes should be…at least, that’s what i’m planning to do for myself. Let us know which ones you end up choosing.
