Trainers at a wedding in 2022

[Shinyandnew2022]

I have an April wedding to go to - first one in years and am planning to wear a silk midi length dress with some brand new smart flatform trainers in emerald green .

Came a cross a thread on here from 2018 and most posters were appalled at the idea
What do people think - is this ok post pandemic or will I get there and feel judged ?

If relevant I am nobody at this event just a friend of the MoB and I had decided I would liberate myself from the tyranny of aching feet ! It's my first wedding where I have made the generation shift .. but don't want to look too middle aged and past it .

They sound lovely and absolute fine to me. Staggering about (and sinking into grass) in heels is sooooo last season! :)

Good grief no. Completely unsuitable. There are other footwear alternatives to heels that won't shred your feet.

I suppose it depended on the type of wedding/dress code and anything is possible (of course people get married in jeans and t shirt) but I’ve never known a wedding casual enough for this to be OK.

I've had a lot of surgery on one of legs and feet. I wear nothing but trainers. I'm very lucky to be able to walk unaided now as for a long time I couldn't. Oddly enough wearing trainers doesn't detract from my professionalism at work nor make my company at social events any less welcome.

Definitely fine imo

Can I say though, a silk midi dress sounds lovely. I’ve never had a silk dress and bet they’re amazing to wear.

Umm - it's a no from me.

Not keen on the whole trainers with a dress/skirt thing anyway.

Definitely not at a wedding, whether they're green or not - sorry.

Of course you can. The hysteria over what can be worn as weddings on here is mad. I know three brides who wore white dresses and wore white docs, van and Birkies with their respective dresses. I think I come form a family who like comfy feet! If brides can do trainers then you can!

Go ahead!

This is so interestingly divided !
It sums up I think why I am hesitant.
I have spent a lot of money on a fabulous dress and don't want to be looked at for being out of step - but I can't see any real reason For it not to be ok - I will definitely look smart and dressed up !
But I am a fashion rule follower so am wary.

I did try on some gorgeous heeled sandals but honestly they would get worn once and that would be that - which also doesn't sit right with me these days .

Wear trainers. Fashionable and sensible.

I cannot remember the footwear of a single guest at my wedding.

Ha ha I know I often think that when people are up in arms at people wearing dresses that are a bit white and therefore too bridal or too bridesmaidy . I know the bride will not care one bit but what if there are loads of Mumsnet there nudging each other and judging me ?

I'd love to see the dress. Do you have a link?

I’m the bride and I’m wearing Vans! My bridesmaids will be wearing white trainers

I'd love to see the green trainers. I feel like i need these in my life! Have you a photo?

It's fine- wear what you want.

Some people on here are really rigid about what people should wear to certain events. I didn't care what guests wore on their feet to my wedding (or what else they wore). I wanted their company, not to have them stressed over an outfit.

It's a no from me, I'm afraid. It's not that anyone would laugh at you or probably even care. It's just from a personal point of view I don't think a posh dress and trainers go well together.

Ugh. No!

Someone wore trainers to my friends wedding 10 years ago. We were all very shocked. Probably would be less nowadays

Am even more nervous of judgment now !

People might at this one.

@Shinyandnew2022
What colour is the dress? Any links to style or colours?

Yay I love this the bride deserves to be walking in comfort !

Ooh I am going to link to the dress now and really hope you aren't all there !

I think it looks better in real life. I chose it because I wanted to only spend this much money on things I will wear a lot .

Too many one hit wonders in my wardrobe from previous events .

I wore little white sneakers and a dress to a wedding this weekend. The bridal party all had matching trainers to wear after the ceremony.

Mind you, I wore cowboy boots to my own wedding so...
