If you are thinking of wearing some type of flip flop or sandal in the sand, then I suggest you definitely practice walking in those shoes on the beach, when you arrive so that you can see how it feels!

I thought that I'd have no problems walking in my wedge type flip flops, but I did! I absolutely stumbled the entire way down...LOL...it was hilarous & uncomfortable. If I hadn't had all eyes on me, I would've kicked them off halfway down the aisle.

The hot sand can be an issue. I wore flip flops down the aisle. I could feel the sand creeping in and it was slightly uncomfortable. Sand is awkward anyway to walk in without shoes. Like someone else said, practice the day before and see what you think.

Last time I was in Jamaica, I was walking barefoot on the beach and accidentally stepped on some stupid insect and it stung my foot!!!! Of course, I screamed and was hopping on one foot, and in less than a minute, two of the resort workers came and pulled out the stinger and gave me ice. So no problem, mon.

 

But that is the reason I decided on flip-flops for the ceremony instead of barefoot. It would be pretty hilarious if I had to scream and hobble down the aisle on one foot :)

Yeah, my dress was a tad longer than was anticipated since I wore my actual reception shoes for my fittings. But I figured it walking wouldn't be too bad since the sandals had a wedge heel too.smile72.gif
If you really have your heart set on the wedge's then bring them & your chandelier sandals & just make sure you give the wedges a test run. Try to bring some kind of long sun dress too so that you get the complete feel of walking with the wedges & a long dress.
Maybe you'll find that its not too hard & you'll be able to go for it!
I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for you!smile78.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
