Five reasons for wearing Wedding Sandals on your big day

More than this, some of them have requests that put you in limbo. Don’t even try to deny it, at some point it makes you wonder how you’ll get out of this alive, without getting in a fight or two. Many of us have been here at one point in our lives. But the reality is that everything related to the wedding is really your own choice. Just keep in mind four simple words and make them your motto during this time: “Your day – your rules!” 

We’ve all heard so many things about how the perfect wedding should look like. But this is YOUR day. And if you have found the perfect match, you will only experience this once in a lifetime. It’s the day where you get to be the center of attention. This is the reason why it is so important to choose the outfit and accessories carefully as they define you and your personal style.

  2. They are the most comfortable shoes in the world.
  3. You can dance.
  4. You can choose the style and colors that complement your personal style of the day.
  5. You can wear your wedding sandals after the wedding, for years to come.

 

Location considerations for your wedding and footwear

There is no doubt about it, an outdoor wedding is very special. Nowadays, many couples choose to say their vows somewhere surrounded by nature instead of in an old, traditional venue that hasn’t changed its interior since your grandparents got married there. And it’s only natural to go for a wedding location that suits your personal vibe and preferences. More than this, there are so many absolutely stunning options when it comes to outdoor wedding locations! You can have your wedding in a garden, on the beach, on top of a mountain, in a forest, practically anywhere! Just set up a tent and some chairs to accommodate your guests and you are ready to go.

We live on Bonaire, a small island in the Caribbean and it is definitely a top-ranking wedding spot for a lot of fans of the Caribbean-vibe.  The ocean’s breeze, crystal clear waters, white beaches, palm trees and the sounds of nature complement your special day. Who wouldn’t want to say ‘Yes!’ in such a special place?

Outdoor weddings are fun and interesting not only for the happy couple but also for the guests because… let’s admit it, everybody loves romance and a more laid-back décor. Just imagine how incredible the wedding pictures will look! More than this, an outdoor wedding allows for a different type of wedding attire, both for you and your significant other. 

Flat wedding sandals are perfect for outdoor weddings. Embrace nature and forget about those unnatural high heels that make you trip and make you feel like you are walking on stilts. Allow yourself to fully enjoy your special day wearing something really comfortable and just relax. 

We have lots of different colors available, whether you prefer white, black, nude, green, silver or gold wedding sandals. Have a look at all our laces in all available colors. They look astonishing when paired with the perfect wedding dress! As we mentioned before, it is your big day, and you can mix and match to your heart’s content! 

 

Comfort is essential – our bridal sandals are the comfiest in the world

You must have seen tons of videos with brides dancing barefoot. Actually, there’s so many of them doing this, and you might end up believing it is like a wedding tradition. But, rest assured, you won’t have to be doing the same if you choose to wear our SunSmiles Bridal Sandals. There would be just no reason to feel uncomfortable! The truth is that after a few hours wearing heels or stilettos (even sooner for some of us), most brides would give anything to throw their shoes away. Yes, the rumors are true- a lot of brides fantasize about setting their shoes on fire! However, this will not happen to if you choose to wear SunSmiles at your wedding. 

Your wedding day is a big event. This means that the chances are that you will be on your feet for many, many hours, greeting guests, dancing (the burden ;-), and so on. It is only natural to want to be comfortable, so you can have lots of fun until the party is over. Most of us can act amazingly well in tight, fitted dresses, the same is not valid for high heeled shoes, you can’t fake being comfortable wearing them. Even women who wear this type of shoes every day to work, find it quite a struggle to wear them for many hours. When the shoes are not comfortable, and your feet start to hurt, we are not really having fun anymore, are we?

If you are not familiar with heels, your wedding day is not a good time to test whether you are up for it…. Go for the comfort and versatility of our tie up sandals, you won’t regret it.

No need to wear the sandals in before the big day

You have probably heard the advice a million times before – wear wedding shoes in before the special day. You must have read it in glossy wedding magazines, heard it from your mother, sister, and even the single cousin. Everybody knows this – you need to purchase your wedding shoes in time, and then wear them around the house until they become comfortable enough (another spoiler alert – some never do!). Some experts take this advice even further and suggest you need dance on the shoes a few times before you wear them on your wedding day. They say it’s fun and it will give you an idea about how you’ll look and feel on your wedding day. But, let’s be honest here – if you need to wear them in, it really means they are no fun at all! They might be too narrow, too tight, not soft enough… and do you really need another important task just before your wedding? Yeah, that’s what we thought!  Flat Wedding Sandals, like the ones you’re into buying today, are a very popular choice among free-minded brides nowadays.

Hot wedding debate: Heels versus flats!

Do you know that some brides tape their toes together to get through the wedding day without too much pain? Yes, the recommendation is to tape the third and fourth toe together to relieve pressure on the soles. It sounds like a torture method during medieval times, we know. Nowadays, it’s completely unnecessary..as women can choose from a wide range of bridal sandals for their special wedding day. 

 

So, the hot debate is not really a debate, if you consider some aspects such as:

- You shouldn’t wear heels on your wedding day if you are not familiar with them. 

This is probably one of the most common mistakes brides make and it leads to unnecessary pain and discomfort. Keep in mind that you need to feel comfortable and have the freedom to move around like a queen on your special day, so go for flats!

- Even if you are used to heels, keep in mind that you’ll be wearing them for many hours, while dancing….kissing….drinking…yeah…you get the point.

Even for women who wear heels to work daily, wearing them on your wedding day can be very different. Keep in mind that wearing them to the office is not the same as dancing on them for hours. Wear flats comfortable sandals!

 

Choosing the wedding sandals – frequently asked questions

  • Do I choose sandals before or after the wedding dress?

Traditionally and ideally, you first but a dress, after that the shoes and the rest of the accessories. However, when it comes to wearing flat wedding sandals, you can get the sandals even before the dress. They will blend in with every outfit you purchase. 

 

  • Is it mandatory for wedding shoes to be white?

Once again, traditionally, wedding shoes tend to be white. However, with the incredible array of options available nowadays, especially regarding the dress, you can go for many other colors too. Nude lace up sandals or gold lace up sandals are excellent choices, especially if your dress has an ivory or champagne color. We love it!

 

  • How much of the wedding budget should go for the shoes?

Well, the wedding budget is different from one couple to the other, as well as their priorities at the wedding. The general recommendation is to invest in good quality footwear (like our sandals) that you can wear again, and again.
