If this is a gulf beach wedding, I’d suggest hip waders with “classy” bows. And, a respirator.

A 2-3″ bow on a size 10 is actually more understated than “huge”. Guess she really is Humble.

not to sound the country bumpkin alarm, but that’s not that unusual here in the deep south for a summer wedding. in fact, no etsy required, really. just walk into your friendly neighborhood payless shoe source.
that said, what confuses me, is mention of a buckle. i was not aware of buckled flip flops….i thought there was just the toe thong.
buckle = sandal, right? or am i just a country bumpkin?

I hate flip flops with a passion to begin with, and the thought of them as appropriate wedding attire only confirms my belief that civilization as we know it is teetering on the verge of collapse.

FYI, Humble is in suburban Houston, and it’s pronounced “Um-ble” with a silent H. The more you know….

@Betty,
The hellies would be a nice touch and they would make the electric slide at the reception soo much easier.

I’m thinking she might try some barefoot flip flops ala Mountain Girl. That would be Humble.

If this is a trend that continues, I’ve got an idea for another “bold and classy” look for wedding shoes. Crocs- with bows and rhinestones of course.
Oh wait, that would be weeding shoes not wedding shoes.

I have been to a wedding where decorated flip-flops were favors for the bridesmaids to wear after they took off their high heels so their feet wouldn’t hurt. Not sure the bride herself should wear them.

If ‘flip-flops’ wasn’t enough, I’m confident that ‘hot pink satin bow’ pretty much *completely* cancels ‘classy’. We may be looking at negative-classy here, people. I can only imagine what the poor bridesmaids will have to endure.

That picture reminds me of the time I was at an event titled “World’s Largest Barbecue” and I saw a pregnant woman in a Confederate flag bikini with a cig in one hand, a beer in the other, making out with some guy. Too bad it was before the era of cell phone cameras!

I had to resort to wearing flip-flops during the last couple of months of my pregnancy due to the swelling of my feet!

My daughters love wearing flip-flops (you should have seen all the flip flops worn at my daughter’s graduation at the beginning of the month)……times, oh, how they’ve changed!

Really. How is the bride wearing pink rhinestone flip-flops going to make the bridesmaids look *worse* than she does? Is that even possible?

I just noticed that this is from Humble, Texas. I used to work out that way. It’s totally a wedding flip-flop kind of town.

Actually, I’m surprised she doesn’t want them in camo. It’s totally a camo wedding kind of town . . .
