How much should I pay for wedding shoes I want to wear converse but so sick of certain ppl nagging me to pls wear a proper pair of shoes decided im goin to wear shoes for ceremony and stick my converse on straight after but every pair of shoes iv seen and liked are over £100 is it really worth it for one day how much is everyone paying for theirs or planning on paying????
I got mine for £25 from Barratts in the sale but I've seen some nice ivory shoes in New look too.
CommentAuthorKimi
I had that idea originally but decided against it and bought a pair of shoes from Next with a heel I should last in.
Try high street stores like Next, Debenhams, BHS, New Look etc for shoes, maybe you'll be lucky and find a decent pair for the right cost.
The days are flying by, can't wait :)

I really splashed out on my shoes - well I was going to get plain ones, but then h2b wrote a poem for the invite and wanted to use "Melly" (which I hate) so in exchange for me allowing that I got some gorgeous shoes (£209) and also for them to be dyed to match our scheme (£30) pics in profile if you want to see them! (on the plus side I will be able to wear them again!)

see i got my bms shoes for £5 each in new look but i do want something a bit blingy if im wearing shoes but not with a high heel
Have a look in my album. Mine has a few crystals on them. I think they are called dragon if they still do them. The heal isn't that big on them either.
CommentAuthorSian-Louise
Next do some nice shoes in the summer months for weddings if you dont want to spend too much...I in the same boat tho..I really dont know what to spend on shoes as I'll prob only where them for one day so dont want to spend too much money xx
CommentAuthorSian''OCD''Holkham
XjoX urs are nice but not my sort of thing :( has a nyone customised their shoes themselves
There was someone who stuck gems all over them and it took her days to do but they did look stunning. Just can't remember who did it. Have you tried ebay?
CommentAuthorSian-Louise
def look in next when there summer collection is in...they do diff size heels too but not sure on prices, I'm going to look this summer for mine xx
CommentAuthorSian''OCD''Holkham
iv got til next year to do it lol so might try find some crystals although just on a shoe website and they do shoe clips they look like broches u attach to shoes seems like a good idea
Oooh, I sawa Four Wedding US the other day and one of the brides had a 'converse' reception and asked all guests to wear converse! Great idea and it worked really well, with everyone admiting how nice it was not to have aching feet after the long day. I got given my shoes from a friend of mine who got married last year, so mine were my favourite price - free! I wouldn't have paid over £50 for them though. How about you try some on in some shops then look on the bay of e for some (make sure you note down their make and model though)? Or like the other ladies say, you can get some good deals in the high street. Hx
Vegas baby!

I understand what you're saying. My friend got married 3 years ago and worse some silver-ish shoes by Merell, who make hiking boots, sandals etc. They were hardly seen under her floor-length skirt and it made lots of sense for the outdoor-sy reception.
I think she was very comfortable. But personally I want some height!! Though I'm not prepared to be in pain. So looking hard for the right shoe.
CommentAuthorNishaVyas88
Have you looked at Rainbow Club- they've got some great value shoes and for the brand "Else", they custom dye for free. I'm getting a pair from Else for £59 (assuming its not the most uncomfortable shoes in the world).
As for the high street, I work at a New Look and we do have some lovely ivory and white shoes. Although we don't seem to have a grey areas between high heels and flats in a lot of styles. It's worth a browse- the shoes I have from New Look are the most comfortable I have (and I'm not just saying that as an employee- although wearing them for at least 4 hours does test a shoe's comfort)

I'm wearing trainers as I can't wear heels anyway. If you wore your converse, can you see them when you walk? If no, I don't see why you can't wear them

I bought wedding boots first, cost £70 odd but then decided I needed to go higher... so bought heeled shoes for £25 instead. Figured they will all go on ebay afterwards anyway so hopefully get some money back!

I looked for a whole week for my shoes then ended up finding them in a small bridal shop. They had discontinued their shoe range and she was like 'they're last season, is that OK?'. Like I'd know! My shoes are Katz and only cost £20. They're so pretty and comfy.

CommentAuthorloubylou
i got my shoes from a small discount shoe shop, i actually went in to buy my daughter some school shoes lol my dress is light gold/champagne and i saw a pair of gold slightly sparkly heels (not too high, approx 2-3 inches) and they cost me a grand total of £8! bargain, as i did feel i didnt want to send too much on shoes for 1 day, i dont normally wear heels and when i do i stick to black lol i would say try the bay of e or high street shops :) x
