Is this the most outrageous bridal trend yet? See what these brides are wearing down the aisle!

As we all know, timeless elegance and classic style can never be outdone. But has a new wedding shoe trend shaken up the traditional bridal landscape?
From fancy bridal heels to classic Converse and comfy white sneakers, brides-to-be have ample choice when it comes to footwear on their special day.
But recently, a new growing trend has left many people scratching their heads as more and more brides are beginning to look to bedazzled Crocs to accompany them down the aisle.
You read that right, folks! For those who do not know, Crocs are a type of lightweight, comfortable, and durable footwear made from a patented foam resin material called Croslite.
They were first introduced in 2002 by a company called Foam Creations, which later became known as Crocs, Inc.
Since their debut, Crocs have become a popular choice for a wide range of consumers, from medical professionals and restaurant workers who appreciate their comfort and slip-resistant design, to outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate their durability and water-resistance.
Despite their widespread popularity, however, Crocs have also been the subject of controversy.
Some people criticise its unconventional design, which features large holes and a clog-like shape, as well as its bright colours and patterns, with many labelling it as ‘classless’ and ‘gross’.
This is the reason why brides and wedding attendees wearing bedazzled Crocs during the ceremony are dividing the internet, with some people questioning whether this simple footwear choice is ‘tacky’ for the big event.
‘That's the problem. People have no class anymore. No one dresses up, it's all about comfort,’ one critic wrote.
Another pointed out: ‘I hate few things in life but crocs are at the top of my list, and when coordinated with an outfit. Lord, help me, I physically shudder.’
On the other hand, many praised the brides for being the ‘cutest’ for thinking outside the box and prioritising their comfort for the ‘hours-long’ ceremony.
One bride even responded to the upset critics, saying that she ‘regrets nothing’ and that the shoes were comfortable the entire night.
'I am not a heel person at all - Converse for the ceremony and crocs for the reception,' one woman said.
Another added: ‘The appearance is not unpleasant and let’s face it, dancing in heels is painful and challenging. One must be comfortable to enjoy such a wonderful and momentous day.’
'Comfortable happy feet means happy bridesmaids,' a third agreed.
Several others, however, believed that the bride and her bridesmaids should have opted for ballet slippers instead of heels or waited until the ceremony was over before changing into crocs if heels were an issue.
One person remarked: ‘That looks gross. Just being honest. They surely could have worn a flat pretty sandal or shoe. I hope the bride didn't wear her crocs. Such a turn off.’
Whether you choose to rock them yourself or not – bedazzled crocs are here to stay. And we have to say, the business is booming!
Prices can range anywhere from $70 to $300 online, and with the option of customisations such as pearls and diamonds, giant flowers, gold and silver chains – it’s not hard to see why many brides-to-be and wedding guests choose to wear these shoes for their wedding.
