Sneaker Weddings are So Cute ♡
It's trending to match sneakers with wedding dresses for reception outfit changes, after parties, or pre-wedding photo shoots ♩
Especially popular are natural combinations like pairing a fluffy tulle princess-line wedding dress with Converse or matching a midi dress with high-top sneakers.*
Compared to high-heeled bridal shoes, they are much easier to move in and create a casual vibe, making them the best choice◎
Remaking Sneakers for Bridal Use is Adorable ♡
Everyone has their own sneaker preference (Converse seems to be the most popular*), but I think it’s very original when brides-to-be decorate their sneakers!
Even Converse sneakers or those bought from GU or Shimamura for under 1000 yen can be easily transformed into cute bridal versions with a little creativity◎
Let's introduce some wedding-themed sneaker arrangements found on Instagram ♩
Sneaker Bridal Arrangement Method ① Organza Ribbon
Replacing sneaker laces with wide organza ribbons is a classic arrangement ♡
While nylon laces can give a regular athletic shoe vibe, switching to fluffy organza ribbons instantly transforms them into wedding-ready shoes*
Sneaker Bridal Arrangement Method ② Adding Illustrations
Using fabric prints or iron-on patches to add patterns to plain white sneakers is also cute ♡ Add words like bride/groom or fun patterns like mustaches and lips to make them colorful and lively♩
Sneaker Bridal Arrangement Method ③ Adding Flowers
Attachment of artificial flowers is another arrangement option*
By adding petals and faux flowers, they become 3D and look just like wedding dresses◎
Sneaker Bridal Arrangement Method ④ Name Tape
A cute idea of sticking name tape on the back of the sneakers has been discovered ♡ It's a must to get foot shot photos in these shoes♩
This arrangement features flower parts scattered randomly, making it super cute* They reportedly used flower parts from the embroidery section of a 100 yen shop*
Sneaker Bridal Arrangement Method ⑤ Adding Tulle and Veil
This bride wrapped lace around the high-top part of her sneakers, adorned her ankles with flowers and tulle, creating a vibe akin to a headpiece and veil*
The sneaker laces feature pearls, making for a very bridal Converse arrangement♡
Sneaker Bridal Arrangement Method ⑥ Charms
Some couples also add charms as a good luck charm between their shoelaces*
Gold charms on white sneakers make a lovely accent ◎
Sneaker Bridal Arrangement Method ⑦ Focus on the Soles
Many brides are also customizing the bottoms of their sneakers*
Feel free to paint the soles, write messages, or stick things on them to create your ideal sneakers♡
Many Sneaker Bridal Arrangement Methods Exist*
Don’t you think all these sneakers are so cute that you'd want to wear them regularly after the wedding???
Just by changing the ribbon or adding flowers, you can easily turn any readily available sneakers into something unique and original ♡
