Don’t you hate attending an outdoor affair like a wedding — dressed to the nines in your Sunday Best — and your heels sink into the grass, dirt, etc. It absolutely sucks! Plus, it can ruin your shoes. Until recently, the only real way around this was wearing wedges. But, check this out!

I found two resources that make this phenomenon a thing of the past. Solemates and Starlettos. Both companies produce little doo-hickeys that easily attach to your heels and prevent that awful sinking feeling. Solemates are available in four colors and sell for $9.95. Starlettos are available in four different hues as well and sell for $14.99 for a set of three. Not only are these both practical for brides, they can also be used by bridesmaids or wedding guests. Planning beach or backyard nuptials? Consider placing these in a chic basket and gifting them to your female guests as they enter your ceremony.

Have you ever used either of these or a similar product? What was your experience like? Would you or your bridal party planning to purchase these for your big day?
