Corso Como Maureen Sandal

Ok, I know I said I was done with the wedding accessories last week, but then I had moment of brilliance. It happens from time to time. No, really. Anyway, as I said, I recently became a flip flops convert, so I thought, hey! What about wedding flip flops?! I’ve read about brides wearing flip flops to their weddings, and I always thought it was tacky. But now? Yeah, I can see it, especially if you have a beach wedding. You’re not going to want to wear heels, or even flats if they’re made of satin when you’re standing and walking in sand. Not to mention, enclosed shoes would be hot to wear. So why not wear flip flops? Now, I don’t mean the ones you wear every day anyway, or the bright yellow ones you bought for your vacation. No, you need new ones, and they need to match the rest of what you’re wearing, so let’s go with traditional white, like this Corso Como Maureen Sandal.

These aren’t regular, rubber-bottomed flip flops, I know. If you can’t bring yourself to go all the way casual with the flippies, these are a good compromise. They’re leather, with a leather sole, and they have just a little bit of a heel to them, so they’re still a little dressy. I love the loopy design on the vamp—very feminine. The footbed is lightly padded, too, so you can dance the night away without worry. And it’s on sale! The Maureen is normally $89.99, but you can get it now for $44.99 at heels.com.

Now we’re talking comfy! This Havaianas Top Crystal Flip Flop is casual, comfortable, and perfect to wear to a wedding with the three little crystals that adorn the top of the strap. The molded rubber upper will conform to the shape of your foot, and the midsole offers a little bit of shock absorption for even more comfort. The rubber sole is flexible and sturdy, too. And get this. Your bridesmaids can get in on the flip flop action because it also comes in acai (which is like a dark pink color), dark green, brown, and rose. Get a pair for everyone for just $48.95 at Endless.com.

The Reef Stargazer Sandal also offers an ideal combination of casual comfort and a little flashiness. The top of the rubber strap has a sparkly metallic overlay. Wear silver jewelry, and all your accessories will complement each other perfectly. An EVA footbed is soft, flexible, and comfortable, with enough cushion to protect your feet from hot sand or pavement, or if you plan on doing a lot of dancing or walking. And who says the Stargazer has to be for the wedding only? Take it on your honeymoon to wear with your sundresses, shorts, and swimsuit. The sandal also comes in purple, dark gray, black with silver overlay, black with black overlay, brown with silver, and brown with brown. In fact, get a few pairs for the summer since the Stargazer is only $21.95 at Endless.com.
