In high summer, it’s only natural for brides to want a garden wedding. We have plenty of gorgeous venue options in this country with rolling green fields and acres of beautiful gardens. The only problem with garden weddings, especially for the guests, is the dreaded heels sinking into the grass. It’s a nightmare buying a gorgeous pair of thin heels for a wedding only to have them ruined by grass stains and sinking into the mud. But never fear, just because you’re going to a garden wedding, doesn’t mean you have to ditch the heels in favour of flats.
With wedding season well and truly upon us and the weather picking up, giving way to plenty of outdoor weddings, you'll need the perfect pair of shoes that show off your style without getting ruined on the grass. We’ve picked out 15 pairs of gorgeous block heels, in different styles, colours, heights and price ranges to help you find the perfect shoe to match your outfit when attending summer weddings out on the grass.
From black, elegant sandals to colourful, strappy shoes, a block heel that doesn't sink into the grass doesn't mean you have to compromise on style when it comes to the shoes you'll wear to a garden wedding. We've chosen shoes from both ends of the price scale so you can buy a wardrobe staple pair or just a pair that you don't want to invest too much time into. Either way, you can be sure you won't ruin them on the grass - not to mention avoid putting tonnes of tiny holes in the venues perfectly manicured lawn.
Of course, there’s always the option of going for flats, or if you’re hell-bent on wearing your stunning stilettoes and wondering how to avoid ruining them, you should invest in heel protectors.
