"Three-quarters of Save the Date readers gave the groom the go-ahead to wear sneakers on his wedding day. But what about the bride?View more from this photographer. The trend is gaining traction (pun intended) among sneaker-loving brides. Tomboy Ali Fedotowsky posed in promotional photos for The Bachelorette wearing a wedding dress and baby blue Converse, which would certainly be more comfortable than sky-high heels. And I get that with a floor-length gown, no one really sees the bride&amp;amp;#8217;s shoes unless she&amp;amp;#8217;s doing peekaboo photos or literally kicking up her heels. Er, sneakers. Plus, I kind of like the idea of brides saying, &amp;amp;#8220;I don&amp;amp;#8217;t care what bridal magazines want me to wear! I will walk down the aisle in rubber soles, Martha Stewart be damned!&amp;amp;#8221; Still, most brides are as fancied up as they&amp;amp;#8217;ll ever get on their wedding day. It almost seems like a shame to put an amazingly pretty dress next to a pair of shoes you&amp;amp;#8217;d wear to walk the dog or take out the trash. Plus&amp;amp;#8212;speaking strictly from personal experience&amp;amp;#8212;heels just tend to flatter in a way that sneakers don&amp;amp;#8217;t. They create a longer, leaner profile and (swear to god!) make my butt look positively bootylicious. (And it&amp;amp;#8217;s not just me. Look at these pics of Kourtney Kardashian in flats. And now front and back in heels. I&amp;amp;#8217;d love Kourtney if she was barefoot and wearing a flour sack, but there&amp;amp;#8217;s no denying the effect heels have on her figure.) And when you&amp;amp;#8217;re showing your grandkids pics from your wedding, won&amp;amp;#8217;t in be nice to have at least a few shots where you&amp;amp;#8217;re all dressed up? (Not way dressed up on top and dressed way down below.) What do you think? I DO or I DON&amp;amp;#8217;T: Brides in Sneakers Is wearing sneakers and I DO or an I DON&amp;amp;#8217;T for brides?
