I was fortunate to coordinate a beautiful, outdoor wedding last Sunday. If you’re a Colorado-based bride, you may remember that it rained off and on all weekend and even when it wasn’t raining it was cloudy and threatening.

Being sure to “walk my talk” I had developed a rainplan for the couple in the event of inclement weather (see this post for my thoughts on the necessity of a rainplan for your Colorado wedding). A week prior you wouldn’t have guessed we’d need it, but all morning we considered how late we could go on pushing the time when we moved things indoors. Luckily the rain came briefly and passed quickly, but the ground was still wet.

Despite the fact that the bride had communicated to her guests and bridal party that the ground could be muddy and not conducive to high heels, some women opted to wear their favorites and walk gingerly so as not to sink into the earth.

If you’re dead set on an outdoor wedding and wearing those oh-so-cute high heels, consider picking up a pair of Sole Mates. These little clear or black plastic pieces fit on the bottom of your heels to make walking in the grass safe and graceful.
