As my friends were getting married one by one, I started asking myself this question, “Why buy a pair of wedding flip flops?” Why does anyone need them? What’s the point in buying such an expensive pair when you can use regular flip flops at a much more affordable rate and decorate them on your own or even use them as they are? You can’t really see them under that big and long wedding dress so why spend so much on something that you don’t really need in the first place? I hope this article helps to answer these questions.
I have a pair of regular flip flops that I wear all the time. In fact, I have three pairs that I take turns wearing: a pair of black flip flops, hot pink flip flops that I wear to the beach, and green flip flops that I bought simply because I was attracted by the bright color. I brought them over to my friend’s house who was getting married to try on with her wedding dress. But the colors stood out instead of blending with her dress and didn’t match with her wedding theme. She decided on a pair of white flip flops that she found at Old Navy. Regular flip flops are a smart and wonderful alternative to the overly priced wedding flip flops found in bridal shops. They may be a lot fancier and more glamorous than your traditional flip flops, but you won’t really be able to see them underneath that luxurious wedding gown now, would you? So you don’t really have to spend so much on bridal flip flops. Invest your money instead on an elegant and durable pair of wedding shoes.
The best thing about wedding flip flops though is that they keep pace with the elegance and luxury of your wedding dress. And for meticulous brides who want everything to match from head to toe, this is a good option. They may be less formal and not as glamorous as regular wedding shoes, but the dazzling and glittery accents make them suitable enough to make the bride feel like a princess on her most special day. And since high-heeled and stiletto wedding shoes can get quite uncomfortable and even painful at the end of the day, a pair of elegant wedding flip flops is a perfect alternative to making you comfortable in style. The downside to this alternative wedding footwear though is the high price. Weddings cost so much already and you don’t really need to fork out another $100 or more on a pair of flip flops. Regular flip flops will do just fine. Moreover, you can use them even after the wedding, to whatever occasion, with almost all of your clothes.
Another alternative is making your own. Buy a pair of affordable, regular flip flops and decorate them with rhinestones, jewels or crystals that you can find at any craft store. This will cost you under $20 and you are guaranteed of a one-of-a-kind design truly your own! They even make wonderful gifts or wedding favors to your family and friends. While wedding flip flops may seem frivolous, the thought of switching into a pair of soft and comfortable footwear after hours and hours of standing, walking and dancing around in very high, totally uncomfortable and painful wedding shoes doesn’t seem like a bad idea. In fact, it feels like foot heaven.
