Hello 👋🏻 I will preface this with I am not at all a dress person. Ever. But I have been told I am unable to wear leggings & DM's to a November wedding (mine! 😂)
So I have found this dress which I can imagine myself wearing but no idea what to do about the footwear? Will need to be flat (as partner/fiancé is the same height as me & I've not worn heels in the 20 years I've been with him!) & cheap as unless they are docs very unlikely to ever be worn again.
Any ideas?

Thank

If it’s your wedding why not DMs? They’d be fine with that dress if that’s your style.

Do you think so?

It's YOUR wedding - docs would look fab with that dress. You could always change the laces to a blue silk ribbon to match the dress

Definitely DMs and laces to match the dress.

These are pricey but could you find a pair on Vinted and have a go at customising? Or a pair of converse?

DD 22 told me the other day that some of her uni friends who always wear trainers buy ballroom dancing shoes if the need heels for a dressing up event.

Wear docs!

NCfor24 · 06/07/2024 19:26

It's your wedding so wear what you like and what your feel comfy in. You also want to look like you on the day, surely?
I agree with previous comments...wear your DMs and have ribbon laces to coordinate with the dress.

Friend wore gold docs and a gold wedding dress. She looked lovely.

It's your wedding, wear crocs if you want, let alone dogs.

Allmarbleslost · 06/07/2024 19:41

You can absolutely wear docs with that!

I would wear some Victorian style, black Lace up boots.
Maybe something like this

Or yes some Docs as other people have said.
My daughter had these which were lovely.

Poor dogs

Attictroll · 07/07/2024 09:14

Get an extra special pair of docs, gold, blue or whatever...maybe get hand painted. They you can also wear again

Villagetoraiseachild · 07/07/2024 09:20

Agree with wear docs with co ord/blue silky laces.
The dress is gorgeous by the way. Gorgeous 😍

Quitelikeacatslife · 07/07/2024 09:29

You could wear docs, and good excuse for a new pair but if you feel weird about that how about irregular choice? Kind of suit the style

Sorry I forgot I had started this 🙄 seems docs (not my dog 😂) with pretty laces could be the way to go......thank you all
