We are getting married this summer outside, on a grass yard. Has anyone had experience with this and know what type of shoes to get? I don't want anything that is hard to walk in on grass. I was looking at this shoe, http://www.shoebuy.com/sb/s.jsp/r_ss/p0_3480/d_AdultF/b_3-0.82905-1.2-312.80092/p_8/st_170590/sbstl_388406
but I'm not sure if the heel is wide enough. The last thing I want it to fall over or trip walking down the isle!!
Also, are grass stains ever a problem? Because most dresses I've seen drape along the ground. (I don't have a train, but it will still probably touch the ground once hemmed).

I think you will have issues with the heal in the ground. If the ground is soft, or damp in any way, you will have problems. As far as the other issues you bring up, I do not think they will be an issue.
If you get your shoes at shoebuy.com, there are some coupons at http://www.24houredeals.com/SHOEbuy-coupons-73-mer.html to help you save on that purchase.
Good Luck.

Although the shoe you reference is very pretty, it will be a disaster on grass. You want a flat shoe, or perhaps a wedge shoe that will evenly distribute the weight over the bottom of your foot.
Grass stains CAN be a problem, but there are several things you can do to help prevent or minimize them. First, have the grass mowed at least two days before the wedding. By the time the wedding happens, the ends of the grass will "heal" enough to stop leaking chlorophyll. Secondly, have a runner in the aisle. It can be a simple piece of material, or a carpet runner. Red or white are traditional colors for this. Thirdly, to preserve your dress, you can have a matching piece of material sewn on the very bottom edge of your wedding gown. After the wedding, this can be removed prior to storage.
And congratulations!

If the ground is soft at all, any sort of heel is going to work as a spike and dig into the ground, it will pin whatever you are standing on (ie a runner) or accidently stand on (ie your dress) I would definately consider a flat shoe for the ceremony.
As for grass stains, it might be inevitable, I wouldn't worry about it so much. Just kinda be ok that it might happen and not worry about it if it does.

It's your wedding you should be able to wear what ever shoes you would like. Just keep in mind that these will be the pictures that you have to look at for the rest of your lives together. If you think you could look back at these pictures in 20 years and not say "Why'd I wear skull shoes", then wear them.

this is the EXACT reason i hate weddings on grass. if you have to walk on grass you HAVE to go with a flat bottom shoe. it can still be a really high wedge, but it has to be almost totally flat on the bottom and don't spend too much because you will get grass stains on them. grass weddings should be banned.

Also think about your guests...it's a nice gesture to include a little card in the invitation that says something like "Our ceremony will take place outdoors; flat shoes are recommended" (if you have one, this can be covered on your wedding website as well). You want the guests falling over themselves because of how beautiful you look, not because they can't walk in their shoes!

Congrad.....by my experience you will have grass stain and it will be hard to take off ..so send it to cleaner ASAP. Also i suggest that you get other shoe to change after wards. like little white house shoes (stetch kind) or sandals ...or even dressy tennis shoes. your chose of shoe are beautiful. they will go down (somewhat) in the ground. how about put board down like a walkway. But ways remember this your day and be comfortable. you have your man next to you anyway.

the heal isn't wide enough. you don't want to get it stuck in the grass. as for dirt and grass stains, you will have them. just clean it ASAP. btw, if the dress doesn't have a care label on it, most cleaners won't touch it.

the shoe is cool, maybe if you practice walking in grass with them, you could pull it off. and the dress, you could do it then get the stains out afterwards, just be careful, and don't walk too slowly

I went to an outdoor wedding last fall and the bride and bridesmaids wore wedge heels I think it a safer alternative.
