DILEMMA!
So our wedding is in a month and it's on a beach by a mountain lake. Gorgeous. My problem is, I have heels. 3.5 inch pencil heels. My dress has been significantly altered for these shoes too - more than just hemming, she altered the flare point as well. If I go barefoot, I'm pretty sure it'll drag in the sand and I don't want to shorten it more anyway as that'll throw off the flare point again which is not an inexpensive alteration. What should I do? Walk on tiptoes down the aisle? Get wedge heels (although I'm afraid sand will get in them and give me blisters)? Boots?? Honestly I'm leaning towards boots right now. I already have some that are the exact same height although they're not bridal at all, just casual wear. What have other people done? Any suggestions?
PS - I'm not a total idiot. I originally bought these shoes for a different venue, but we cancelled that wedding due to Covid and moved it closer to home.
PPS - fiance is determined to be barefoot on the beach. Should everyone be barefoot? Shoes optional? Will I be the only idiot in shoes? All bridesmaids are in the same boat of dresses already being hemmed for heels. It is an extremely large sandy beach, much more than you would expect from a mountain lake... lots of walking in sand...
