Well what do you guys think of having converse as wedding shoes? I saw them on gypsy brides they looked amazing! I cant have heels 'cause then i'd be taller them my h2b and hes already told me i cant aha! So I thought about these, although they're like £180!
CommentAuthorVelcro
£180?! if they are crystalised just do it yourself!!!!
il admit, I considered it because I love my cons, but I want to wear heels, so im trying to convince the boy to wear them as his doctor who reference, mine are now union jack high heels lol
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey
*Kelbel* is my wedding twinny!
CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
My hubby wore them both in Vegas and back here. I wore some trainers I got whilst we were out in Vegas for our London bit because I broke my toe before the blessing LOL! I was so comfortable - I'd definitely recommend it :)
Vegas baby!

Yeah they are, I dont really have the time for that, and god I couldn't sit and do that I don't have the patience! :P
You need to make him! Converse and a suit is amazing! xD Mine would never do that, sadly!
CommentAuthorVelcro

I think it's a cute idea for the entire wedding party. not sure why they have to cost £180.

Lol they're 180 because they have dimonties all over them and they are ankle length, they are amazing. See I do like those pics but i like sparkle! and my OH will not wear them, i've asked he shot me down before i could finish aha, and he thinks it'll be cheaper to get shoes from a cheap shoe shop. I know converse are about 40/50 pound but they're awesome!
CommentAuthorsarah
in that case I'd get a glue gun and add the sparkle myself!
CommentAuthorAshleigh:)
Im not creative and crafty id mess it up :s
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I had normal shoes for the ceremony, then changed into a pair of converse I got specially.

I think my H2B would like to wear converse. I think they add a relaxed feel to the day. My lovely SiL2B is wearing customised converse for her wedding to my lovely brother :) she's hoping to get them customised with the wedding date and 'Mrs Thomas' sewn on, they look brilliant!
CommentAuthorFernP61
I would never spend that much on trainers?!!!!
CommentAuthorRennie1989
I wear Converses a lot, very comfy shoes, but for a wedding I'm not so sure. I wear Converse because it's a part of the style I wear but I like to keep my casualness at bay for the wedding, it's not like I'm going to dress up like that again :)
CommentAuthorNaomiH25
im having converse trainers under my dress and my h2b is having leather ones!! go for it

I love converse, but normally buy a reproduction but have always wanted the real thing and im want to wear flats in the evening so have decided me , the mr and our lil miss are all going to get royal blue coverse with Mr Hands, Mrs Hands and Miss Hands on side, and them im going to bling mine and lil misses up with some crystals , plus lots of people spend 50/100 quid on heels and they only wear them on special occasions , while i will be wearing my converse as much as possible ! So comfy! And seeming a tenants dictor wears them its a part of the theme!

CommentAuthorAna40
I was tempted to wear flats but decided on a small heel as wearing flats changes your posture. I think it would be lovely to have a customised pair. X
CommentAuthorHayley Elizabeth
I am totally rocking the converse but only when the dancing starts, i'm going to wear heals in the day (have them already yey), then change into white converse in the evening xx
CommentAuthorNaomiH25
Theyve brought out some new converses with a heel on xx

^^ omg just looked thats so cool, but kinda defeates the purpose of them being comfy! , although i do wonder how comfy the wedge heel ones are, would prefer smaller heel or a platform bit at front! Im my mums wedding pitcures shes wearing platforms! Thats from 40 years ago! My mum rocks!

I thought about converses for the evening, but then found a wedge shoe so thought that I should be ok in them for the day!

I love this idea and I am definitely doing this, I hope I can persuade my bridesmaids too! You can order customised ones on the converse website :)

I'm wearing heels for my ceremony and then I'm going to get some converse trainers to wear later, but will bling them myself, although I might try bay of e for some :)
CommentAuthorValentinaK
Sounds like you're already letting your H2B boss you around!!!
If you wanna wear heels, wear em! a photographer will be making your photos look great. I'm taller than my H2B and wearing a slight heel so we don't look ridiculous. I know a lass who's 6foot 2 who married a bloke who was 5 ft 5... so yeah!
Wear what shoes you want, you only get one shot at this hopefully... if you really wanna wear converse too, do it. But you may want to choose for this dayt o be your most girly ever... and you can always get girly flats too which are more pretty and less clumsy... remember footwear choice can change your gait too.. you might find yourself walking a bit more "clumpily" in trainers/sneakers...
And we lived happily ever after!
CommentAuthorJoey35
I'm having shoes for the ceremony and changing into pink converse for the reception. It's an informal reception in a village hall so should look fine!
CommentAuthor*Vixie*
I love this idea. My fiance will be wearing black converse with his suit too :) as we're both a bit "different" shall I say, lol. xx
CommentAuthorFernP61
I think they are slot better as they are with heels I think they will look as tacky as the timberlands with heels years back!!
CommentAuthorangel830609
I was thinking about converse for us to wear under our dresses but 2 of my bm just gave me that look lol, guess not then ha!ha! it's a fab idea tough and some of the custom yourself ones are stunning xx
it's been a long hard road, but hopefully we're getting
somewhere :) xx
CommentAuthorKirstyT80
I live in my converse, but im gona wear heels for my wedding, I don't think id feel like a princess if I wore my normal shoes :) although as I love them so much I am making all the males in the bridal party wear purple converse with their grey suits to match in with out purple colour theme :) (and my soon to be step daughter who is also wearin a suit)
CommentAuthorMrsRusty2B
I hate huge heels so I suspect I'll be wearing kitten heels for my wedding.
CommentAuthorTotallyLovedUp

CommentAuthorNaomiH25

I wanted to wear Lelli Kelly shoes with my dress, they are so bling and colourful, but everyone pulled their face and a few people said it was a ridiculous idea.
Eventually I got a pair of custom made sparkly red shoes, like Dorothy's ruby slippers and I love them, they also have I do crystal stickers on the back. Check them out!

I love the idea!!
I have to wear flat shoes too as my h2b is a tad shorter.
I have flat pumps which are jewell encrusted. :)

CommentAuthorFreyaA
That sounds awsome DO IT!!!! and seriously get some fabric glue from wilkinson (its like 50p) and glue gems on cheap repro converse, you CAN'T go wrong i promise you, my uncrafty H2B could do it and that means its EASY! If you somehow manage to ruin a cheap pair of shoes with cheap glue and cheap diamontes of ebay or something THEN you can legitimately say, i tried it and i HAVE to spend £180 on my shoes and thats it! xxx

hi- Im trying to persuade H2B to let my son(16 and giving me away) and his lad (11) to wear converse with their suits. I think the boys would be so much happier and it looks so cute! I'm sure I'll get me own way lol!!
CommentAuthormegs19
So want to do this as well! I know that I will fall flat on my face in heels :) think it's a defo! Got to be comfy on your day!
CommentAuthorNearlyMrsFountain
My (will be) 2 and half yr old will be wearing orange and brown converse as it matches our colour scheme and I think they are more comfy than a pair of hard leather shoes :) xx
Go for it, although I would probably sparkle them myself!! Xxx
