can I wear Birkenstocks to a wedding?

[bananasandhoney1]

Wedding is outdoors (or at least partially outdoors) on a farm, and the legal ceremony has already happened - this is the celebration of their marriage. They have sent out proper invites (if that matters). Not sure if it is too informal or not? I don't want to wear heels and I do not currently have any other flat shoes that go with my dress so would have to buy some tomorrow if the answer to my question is a resounding 'no'!

Thanks in advance

I would, but then I wear them everywhere in the summer as they are the only sandals I can physically be comfortable in. There’ll be lots saying you need heels and delicacy though…

What colour are they? Sounds fine for a farm venue.

no

Wear wellies. 😀

I wouldn’t.

Of course you can.

No. You don’t need heels, just a pair of nice sandals or wedges for an informal celebration.

Birkenstocks are only suitable for walking from a changing room to a pool, and even that’s pushing it.

Wear whatever the fuck you want

Don't ask MN about wedding attire

I think no, and I love and wear them all summer.

Of course you can... it would make for a good chuckle or two.

If you're going to a wedding on a beach, yes. Any other wedding, no.

It's invitations, not invites. An invitation is to invite you

I would say with what dress/outfit, but only because for me some things look great with Birkenstock and some don't. Honestly Ii wouldn't judge you either way - I rarely remember what others wear at weddings. But I know for me depending on the outfit I'd feel wrong.

On a farm go for it, I'd probably wear an enclosed shoe on a farm though something neutral like a white converse or superga perhaps due to stones, general grit/dirt if dusty and I tend to get bitten to pieces so would expect more midges than another venue.

It's not even the actual wedding. It's a celebration

They're Birkenstocks, which can easily look enough like a pair of plain sandals, not Crocs

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed love? No need for this. If you don't care don't bloody respond to the threat

I wore trainers to my son's wedding. To be fair, so did he.

Agreed. You'll just get a load of people insistent you're committing a huge footwear crime. Which you aren't.

Are they the proper sandal type or the slip-on type? Not that it matters, I'm just curious. Both absolutely fine.

People who get uppity about other people wearing comfortable shoes are very silly

Can you post a picture of the dress?

These look pretty smart under a long dress.

My pal wore some to my wedding. It mattered not a jot to me or, I would imagine, anyone else there. I only remember it because I have a photo of her and it popped up today!

Yes

I live in mine in the summer but no I wouldn't wear them to a wedding

No! 😱

There’ll be lots saying you need heels and delicacy though

I don't think a lack of heels is an issue. I think Birkenstocks are too casual for a wedding, unless it is very informal.

Could not tell you what any of our wedding guests had on their feet if my life depended on it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wear the Birkenstocks, it will make absolutely zero difference to anyone's day, and you'll certainly look less silly than the Woman trying to pick her way through a farmyard in stilettos.

If it’s on a farm, in a barn, bell tents, outdoors type vibe: yes.

And anything else : also yes

As long as they aren’t ancient and scruffy
