Barefoot sandals, wedges, flip flops?????


Recommended Posts

My wedding is a year away (8.31.12) but I am already stressing!

 

I am getting married at Sunset Jamaica Grande and I initially wanted to get married on the beach and when that was set in stone, I had decided to wear barefoot sandals. My two sisters are my MOH and MatronOH. I was going to get the barefoot sandals, earrings, and necklace as part of their gifts.

 

I read a few places that the beach area at SJG was not that good of a site and someone suggested the gazebo to have the wedding. There are few pros to that and I can work that (area is mostly decorated by surrounding foliage and it would be minimal decorations to make it look nice)......(I was worried that they wouldn't be able to decorate the arch on the beach to my satisfaction).

 

I have decided to have the wedding at the gazebo and take pictures on the beach.....Here is my dilemma. I sooooo wanted to wear barefoot sandals and I really wanted my sisters to have and wear them as well. The question is: Would it look crazy to wear the barefoot sandals for the wedding at the gazebo? Or should we go with decorated flip flops and I still give them the sandals to wear for the pictures? (I am thinking that if they don't already have them on, it may be too much of a hassle to have them to go and put them on just for the pictures)

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance ladies!

The number one thing to remember is that this is your day! If you are in love with the idea of barefoot sandals for you and your sisters, then that is what you should wear. The purpose of a destination wedding is to have a laid back feel to your day, so why not just do it your way?! :)

Besides you are still going to be in a beach setting, taking beach pictures. I don't think it will look silly at all to wear barefoot sandals on the grass, who doesn't like cool blades of grass between their toes anyways?

 

Do what makes you happy!

& good luck with the planning.

I had to wanted to wear barefoot sandals but we are getting married in a gazebo so decided against them.  We will all be wearing flip flops.  I had considered doing barefood sandals for pictures but thought it might be to much of a hassle to try to put them on and what not.

JayKay, that's my dilemma exactly. Didn't want the hassle of having to change footwear. I may go with the flip flop/sandal option as well and I will just have to find some really cute ones for myself and my sisters. I suppose since I was so fixated on having something on our feet while taking pictures in the sand, I may buy them anklets along with the rest of their wedding jewelry.

You are absolutely right! This is my day and darn it, it's not supposed to be this stressful. I am off to find cute sandals or flipnflops for everyone and I think I will get some beautiful barefoot sandals for myself (in my wedding colors) for my photos and I will get my sisters anklets as part of their wedding jewelry (along with earrings and necklaces). Thanks for your input.

Hi Mrstobe & Everyone,

 

Well that sounds like a lot of fun and a good idea and if you want some nice flip flops for your bridesmaids or for your guests I really recommend PARTYFLOPS I had some custom made for my wedding and I loved them and I´ve been telling people to try them out, its real nice and your guests end up really impressed.

 

Hope your wedding goes as you plan, and I'm sure you´ll be fine with what ever you choose, all you got to remember is to be real happy on that special day.

    • 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!
