I wore sparkly silver Toms under my floor length dress. So comfy and meant I had no worries about falling over or my feet hurting.

I've just bought a pair of rose gold Converse to go with my just below knee length (non wedding specific) dress, bargain £35 on sale! There are little beads on my dress that are exactly the same colour. I always wear Converse so it'll surprise nobody. I want to be comfortable and feel like me . I say go for it.

Go for it! My friend wore white DM’s under her white wedding dress.

[ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo]

Yes, like white dresses.

[BettyBaggins]

Least orignal??? What like a white dress??

Wear whatever you like, sparkly cons sound fab. Two of my girlfriends have worn glitter covered cow boy boots for theirs, looked fab too. Congratulations and have a wonderful time doing it your way!

Your wedding, your rules.

I did it. No-one even noticed. My feet thanked me for it too, given all the standing chatting, dancing etc.

Go for it

I know someone that wore converse as she has a disability and heels absolutely weren’t an option. She needs laces for support and white converse with satin laces were a little more special than what she wears every day. The bridesmaids also wore converse in a colour to match their dresses. I thought they all looked lovely!

I wore them under my dress at the reception and evening dance soooo comfy. No one could even see them and I danced the night away. I got customised ones from converse website with my new married name embroidered on them and had them in my chosen wedding colour , still wear them now casually a great reminded of a fab day !

My dress was floor length and full skirted (hoop and net underskirt under it) I wanted to wear converse as I very rarely wear heels and when I do they hurt, but I was talked out of it. I wish I did, you couldn't see my bloody shoes even if I tried to show them to you there was that much dress! (I wore ballet pumps which were fine but meh)

[ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo]

If you normally wear converse then fine but personally I find it just about the least original thing ever and have a little internal when I hear people say they’re doing it.

There are loads of other lovely flat shoes that will look lovely with a wedding dress.

I don’t t usually wear heels. I wish I’d worn Converse to get married in, I ended up taking my shoes off very early in the day. My dress was long, no one knew.

I cannot understand how wearing flat shoes under a floor length dress ruins anything?! As an alternative, have a look at Toms - I wore an ivory lace pair and it was honestly the best decision!!

[NerrSnerr]

I wore converse under my dress. The dress was floor length and I knew that if I wore heals my feet would hurt and I'd be in bare feet by the evening do.

I wore Converse to my wedding. I can't walk in any "wedding" type shoe. My dress was long though so I could have worn roller skates under it and no one would have noticed. I would try them with your dress and see how they look. My friend got married on a snowy day and wore wellies under her dress.

[CrispyCrackers]

Wear them if you want to. No one will mind or care. It’s not unusual I don’t think. Don’t wear them to be quirky and original because it isn’t but do wear them because they are comfortable and you like them.

I think a lot of people don’t look good in high heels because they end up doing a wierd waddling walk.

[Doobigetta]

I think it's silly, sorry. I love my converse, but there's a time and a place for them, and a wedding is not it. It's completely understandable that you want to wear flat, comfortable shoes, but there are hundreds of flat bridal shoes that still look beautiful and delicate and appropriate for a formal occasion. Sticking some glitter on trainers doesn't make them not trainers.

[MrsFionaCharming]

10-15 years ago this would have been really cool and edgy, now I think it’s a bit passé.

[PenguinDi]

I say go for it, wear what ever makes you comfortable. I wore purple dr martins with my dress

[nocutsnobuttsnococonuts]

Me and my daughter's all wore silver glitter converse. I wore a knee length 50s dress with them and a leather jacket. I loved them, my youngest wears hers all the time and I wear mine when I go out in the evenings or with friends.

Wear what you are comfortable in and what makes you feel good. I felt like a prat in a floor length dress and heels. On your wedding day you want to feel and look amazing.

If it's your style, go for it. It's your and your partner's day after all.
One of my friends wore Marvel converse under her dress. You couldn't see them, but she showed them to everyone anyway.

[Swissgemma]

I wore trainers under my dress!

If converse are your thing then go for it. I am not a big fan so would go for adidas shell toes.

Also I'd say not white. My friend, her husband and their little boy all wore red converse at their wedding. Cute as.

But again if white is your thing. Do it.
