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)

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 !

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

Go for it

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

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! Flowers

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 Smile. I say go for it.

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.
