my wedding is in my backyard...and I make jewelry, so I can make them to match our dresses...

this is my dress

and this is the bridesmaids dresses (they picked it) in light green

would it be tacky for everyone to have these barefoot sandals on?

I asked the girls and they love them...but I am constantly having seconds thoughts that everyone will think its tacky for a wedding, but it is the backyard and I thought they were fabulous (at first!)....advice is welcome!!

I think for an outdoor wedding those are a great idea! They will look great with the dresses too!

I LOVE barefoot sandals!!! I really wanted to use them as well for our garden wedding, but I went with a tea-length dress, so I figured my dress would work better with heels. I still might buy a pair just to wear for fun. I like the styles that this lady does:

Thanks girls! You've made me feel MUCH better!

The dress....I was going through Ebay one January morning after he asked...and I found that dress! I absolutely love it! It was so different from any other's I had seen. I've already worn white and wanted to be totally unique! I can't wait. :grinhappy: Its being made in China, handmade, to my measurements -- once it gets here in a few weeks I'll try it on and post some pics. :winktongue:

The picture on the bottom right is one I actually saved a picture of!! I think that is the kind I will make myself and the girls will wear the other style in their dress color.

BTW -- the girls love the idea of not having to wear shoes and who doesn't on a hot August day?? Just gotta make sure the kids pick up all the dog poop in the yard! :rofl:

The dress is gorgeous!!! GORGEOUS!!! I love it.

The barefoot sandals would look great, I wouldnt worry about anything looking tacky.

With a green wedding dress I am pretty sure you set the rules for your wedding. :D

Looks great.

I LOVE your dress - so beautiful, and fabulous details.

I think, with a backyard low-key wedding, that barefoot sandals would work great. It would add a touch of whimsy and fun (your dress helps too)...

Plus to me, the dress has a middle-eastern flair to it, and those barefoot sandals fit in perfectly with that feel.

Yeah, the dresses and sandals reminded me a little of a Bollywood musical - I love Bollywood! :heart:

Did you see the one on the moving train? I had an Indian friend who used to find the most random ones.

I never realized that until you mentioned it and the other girls started talking about Bollywood...I have never heard of Bollywood, so I googled images and yep...you're right!

I just thought it was totally different, unique and I WANTED IT!

Can't wait till it gets here!!!!!
