Possible Summer Wedding Trend: Chic alterative to the Flip-flop

After a long, blustery winter gives way to the fresh, warm glow of spring, an outdoor wedding can sound so sublime. At this very moment thousands of "Brides-to-be" are sitting with their chin cupped in the palm of their hand, gazing out into space and imagining the once calm, cold ground bathing in golden spring (or summer) sunshine. Their wedding guests greeted by a gentle, crisp breeze as their ceremony or even reception plays out on a brisk outdoor scene.

No matter if it's a windswept sandy beach wedding or a glorious garden wedding, for years whimsical Brides have taken full advantage of these seasonally warm environments by stepping across sand (or sometimes a grassy lawn) in Flip-flops. Many choose unique or even add a personalized touch to the footwear by adorning them with embellishments like rhinestones, tying "sixpences" or other one of a kind touches. But the traditional Bridal Flip-flop may have some competition. For the last several months Gladiator Sandals have been the go to shoe for trendy fashionistas.

The fun footwear has appeared in runways, TV and magazines in a wide range of cuts, styles, colors, and even materials which gives the item great versatility. A pair of Gladiator sandals in off-white, white or even a delicate metallic color could create the perfect accessory. Just select one of the many styles that will work with your look - casual, sexy, dressy, unique, etc. More contemporary Brides who are toying with the idea of exchanging vows on the beach or other natural settings where the typical skinny heels dare not tread may want to consider the fun, fashionable and fabulous Gladiator Sandal for that stroll down the aisle.
