Platform heels for beach wedding?

Sarah, 6 February, 2024 at 23:38 Posted on Wedding Attire 1 36
Got my dress sorted now for the shoes, we still haven't picked venue but will either be garden/outdoors, or on the beach. I'd like a bit of height and platform heels I find are most comfortable. Are platform heels like the one below practical for walking down the aisle on a beach? (assuming will have some sort of fabric runner, or maybe just sand)

    Depends on how good your balance is, whether or not there will be a runner and if you are happy to be limited to standing just on the runner. Heels of any kind will be tricky on straight sand and there will be a certain amount of 'give' even with a runner on top, unless it is super thick and heavy.

    If you're set on heels and haven't picked your venue yet, then I'd go garden rather than beach. (If you want beach photos you could always look for a garden venue near a beach so you can take your shoes off for beach photos after the ceremony.)

    With getting married outside, just ensure your venue has a rain plan. Our wedding was in July, gorgeous the day before & after our wedding but it drizzled most of our wedding day.
    As for platforms on a beach, would you consider espadrilles/wedges? They may be a bit more stable.
    Our photographers took us to the beach the morning after the wedding, but I won’t lie, I just wore flip flops, was so much easier & then I didn’t have to worry about wrecking an expensive pair of shoes either.

    That's a good point, I think if the garden with a view option is there we would be going towards that, but if it is just sandy beach then barefoot might be the way. I assume then for dress alterations I can get them to do it with the heels on and then it'll only be a few inches longer when I take them off on the beach

    Yess I did think wedges too but like you say the last thing I want to worry about is if I can walk on a beach so losing them for the beach would seem a better option! Ahh thank you didn't think about the rain option, will keep that in mind when deciding on venue

    Unless you're going for really high heels, you shouldn't notice a huge amount of difference in dress length when you take your shoes off. Just be careful how you walk so you don't trip over the spare fabric in front!

    Oh no definitely nothing too high those days are well over, stick to comfy heights if at all now haha! Will definitely trial the walking barefoot at the fittings before the real thing, hopefully the slit will help make that easier to move around too 😅

    If it's any comfort, my dress was a good couple of inches too long (got married immediately post lockdown, so no time to get it shortened) and I managed ok for our ceremony - I just had to walk a bit slower than usual and kind of kick the skirt out with my feet as I walked - and hitched it up for walking up steps or slopes. Just be careful if you get a fabric that stretches when wet - it was raining on our wedding day and the more water my skirt picked up from the ground, the more it stretched, so it had 'grown' by several inches by the end of the day Smiley xd But if you can keep it dry, you should be fine.

    Wow that's amazing you managed well with it being a bit longer. Oh noo hahah the one I went for is a tulle skirt hopefully that will hold itself, and trying to perfect picking a time in summer that should hopefully be clear and sunny. The more I see other dresses on my instagram feed the more I'm starting to doubt if I picked the right one for the outdoorsy beachside venue. Hoping alterations and shortening a fair bit off will give it that lighter feel😅

    Hi! I live in an island and we go to the beach every week.. having said this let me tell you that there’s no way one can walk in the sand wearing shoes other than trainers or flats. Sand is super unstable and gets inside any nook and cranny causing chafing and discomfort. If you have a thick carpet as aisle maybe you could try wearing wedges or chunky heels. But definitely if you’re having a beach ceremony reconsider wearing shoes, and in any case try them on the sand just in case.

    Choosing the right shoes for an outdoor or beach wedding can be tricky! While platform heels offer height and comfort, they might sink into the sand even with a runner. Consider wedges or espadrilles for better stability on soft surfaces. Alternatively, a thicker block heel could work well on a fabric runner. Good luck with your venue and shoe selection!

    Platform heels can definitely offer comfort and height, but walking on sand can be tricky, even with a fabric runner. It's best to try them out in a similar environment beforehand to make sure you feel stable.

    Platform heels can work for a beach wedding if the sand is packed down! Just bring backup flats in case. By the way, if you're into medical stuff, check out suture kit - great for practice. Hope your wedding day goes smoothly!

    Platform heels can work for a beach wedding, but it depends on the style. If they have a wide block heel or wedge, they’ll be more stable on sand, especially with a fabric runner. Narrow heels might sink or feel unsteady. You could also bring a backup pair like flat sandals , just in case.

    At my cousin’s wedding last summer, I wore a beautiful pair of embellished flat sandals instead of heels, and honestly, it was the best decision. While everyone else was kicking off their heels halfway through the night, I was dancing comfortably till the last song.

    Platform heels can definitely give you that height and comfort you’re looking for, but walking on sand might be tricky, even with a runner. If you're set on platforms, consider ones with a chunkier heel for more stability. Alternatively, you could bring a cute, more practical pair for walking on the sand and switch to the platforms once you're on solid ground! sports wedding
