For a dress hem that touches the floor experts have said to practice walking in the gown by doing a gentle kick as you walk. This tends to keep the gown from going under your feet. When done right, no one would notice you a slightly kicking the dress as you walk. I heard somewhere that this is a technique models use when modeling those very long gowns on the runway. -

See if you can find a pair of white/ivory shoes that you already own and know to be comfortable and trustworthy for your big day. If that cannot be done (due to discontinuation) look for something by the same company that made your most comfortable heels.

Scholl's party feet are a lifesaver. They come in gel insoles, heel shields, even slingback strips. You can also get blister pads that you can put in areas of your shoes that bug you the most. The best part of it all is that they are a) reusable and b) washable. They are great for any time, being a bridesmaid or a bride and dancing all night!

Practice walking around in your shoes a few hours a day the week before your wedding. You don't need to wear the whole outfit to get the feel of the shoes, though trying the whole thing out once or twice before the big day is a decent idea.

Wear your fancy shoes for the ceremony and switch to white slippers for the reception. Ideally, get cheap slippers for your bridesmaids, too, so not only will they be comfortable as well, you won't feel silly wearing slippers on your own. Most brides end up ditching their shoes anyway, so this is more sanitary/comfortable. If you do get them for your bridesmaids, it is a relatively inexpensive gift you can give them - stick it in a tote bag with a few other useful bridesmaid goodies. They may also use it again (unlike that dress you made them buy).

I'm having a medieval wedding, and couldn't find sandals that fit the dress. So barefoot it is!

I also got married outside, in a semi-formal setting. My dress was long, so no one could see my shoes anyway. I (and all of the bridesmaids) wore blue (something blue for me) suede shoes. It was *such* a fun touch! (Guess what our attendant's first dance was?!?!) Also, I had a FABULOUS idea that my sister is using for her wedding (in 4 weeks!). She has a disability, so walking in her (very) heavy dress all day will tire her unnecessarily (it's a VERY formal two-piece dress). For her reception, she had a pair of white satin pants made so that she can dance the night away without worrying about tripping! Cool, huh?
