Hemmed for heels or flats?

I originally planned to have my dress hemmed to my heels only to decide a few months later that it’s not do-able. The wedding is already stressful and busy enough, I don’t want sore feet and I’d rather have my dress a little higher for my heels during the ceremony than be stressing about dragging it around all night.. just imagine the dance in flats and your dress dragging :/

I’m going to get my dress hemmed to my heels (cowboy boots) and then I need to find a sandal with a wedge heel so my dress doesn’t drag too much

Heels - my feet can suffer for a couple hours to get better photos (i'm real short!) .... but then... switching to wedges!

...I'm going against the majority and going to say I would have the dressed hemmed up an inch or so to the height of your flats...

My reasoning is that they are gorgeous bright blue heels - if you cover them up then what's the point of wearing them? Let them be seen even if it's only a bit of a peek-a-boo and then later when you change into flats you won't be dragging your dress on the floor/grass/anything beneath your feet.

Me too! I NEVER order shoes online because it's such a risk they won't fit/feel right but I had been looking for months, and I found these on Amazon so I took the risk and ordered them because I ADORE them.

I ordered a half size bigger (9) than I normally wear (8.5), so I could fit in gel insoles...and these shoes fit like an 8! BUT! I have shoe stretchers in them right now, and I'm planning to wear them around the office for the next year (not outside, so they don't get dirty!), and they should be okay!

I completely agree with everyone. Since you are wearing your heels for the photos you should hem your dress with the heels.

Thanks all! I think I may look into a pair of low 1" wedge heels instead of flats for my reception shoes, too...

Definitely hem it for the heels! For all you know, you might end up keeping your heels on all night.

I agree with everyone else. And also I love those shoes!!

I agree with the girls. If you'll be wearing the heels for photos, hem your dress to that. It's fine if your dress is a little longer in the evening, as the photos will be done by then.

I agree, hem it to the length of what ever shoes you will have on in pictures. This way you won’t regret how your dress sits in the pictures.

Hem your dress for what you'll be wearing in pictures... so probably heels

I'm hemming my dress to be good when I'm in heels, so that it looks proper for the ceremony and pictures. At some point during dancing I'll ditch my heels and the dress will be long, but at that point, who cares!
