It's sinking in the grass.
We all dread it, but we love our heels and wouldn't go without them on the grass because:
A. it's a wedding. You've got to have your photos look nice
B. heels make our legs look amazing
So as badly as our heels turn into cleats on a lawn, we all love a pretty pair of heels, grass be damned. What's a girl to do? don't say switch to flats, get Heels Above! I not only got married outside, I had a million photos taken outside with my bridal party. I had ivory shoes (can you say grass stains) and they had silver. It had rained the entire week before my wedding so the grass was pretty damp. I would have loved to have these. It's so hard traipsing around in a big dress while you're sinking every step.
these shoes had removable embellishments |
I took a scoop of oxyclean and put it into a big plastic bucket (the kind you find in a home improvement store) and filled it with water to just cover the shoes. I let the shoes soak overnight in the bucket (my shoes had no embellishments, they were strictly fabric. Not sure if this would rust shoes that have bling). Then I took the shoes out of the soak and threw them in the washing machine on delicate and threw in another big scoop of oxyclean.
