Converse sneakers have become a staple at weddings, showing up everywhere from backyard ceremonies to formal receptions. What started as a comfort choice has evolved into a genuine style statement, with customized Converse now designed to match wedding outfits, themes, and personal style. Whether worn down the aisle, on the dance floor, or as a late-night shoe change, personalized wedding Converse blend practicality with creativity.
From subtle details to bolder design choices, customization allows Converse to feel well suited for a wedding day rather than like an afterthought.
How to Customize Converse Shoes for Your Wedding
Creating custom Converse wedding shoes is about turning a classic sneaker into something personal and wedding-ready. Whether the goal is subtle coordination or a bold statement, customization allows Converse to reflect the details of the day — from colours and textures to names, dates, and meaningful design elements.
There are many ways to customize Converse for a wedding. Some people prefer professionally printed designs, while others enjoy starting with a blank pair and adding DIY details at home. Both approaches offer flexibility depending on style, timeline, and how hands-on you want to be.
Custom Printed Wedding Converse
Custom printed designs are one way to personalize Converse for a wedding. Printing allows artwork, text, patterns, or graphics to be applied directly to the canvas, creating a cohesive design that can reflect names, dates, wedding themes, or meaningful visuals. Lace-inspired prints, florals, and subtle typography are common choices for wedding shoes.
Printed customization works well for shoes worn throughout the ceremony, reception, and dancing, while preserving the classic Converse silhouette.

Baggins offers in-house custom printed Chucks that can be personalized with artwork, text, patterns, or graphics. Designs are printed directly onto the canvas for a clean, cohesive finish.
DIY Customization Options
Alongside custom printed designs, some people choose to customize their wedding Converse at home. This approach works well for those who enjoy hands-on projects or want to add small personal details after starting with a simple base.
DIY customization is easiest when using clean, unprinted Converse styles in neutral colours. A plain canvas shoe gives you flexibility to experiment without competing patterns and can still be worn again after the wedding.
Common at-home customization ideas include:
-
Lace designs are a popular way to soften the look of Converse for a wedding. Printed lace patterns echo the textures found in wedding dresses and veils, while physical lace overlays are typically applied at home as decorative additions.
-
Embroidery can add a personal touch through names, initials, or dates. This type of customization is usually done at home and works best when kept simple and carefully placed.
-
Pearls and Rhinestones add sparkle when used sparingly. These embellishments are often applied as DIY accents and can highlight areas such as the heel or eyelets. Neutral tones help keep the overall look wedding-appropriate.
-
Ribbons: Replacing standard laces with satin or chiffon ribbon is one of the simplest ways to customize Converse for a wedding. Ribbon laces are easy to swap and allow for colour coordination without permanently altering the shoe.
Featured Baggins Styles (Blank Options for DIY)
If you’re planning to customize your shoes at home, starting with a plain, unprinted pair makes the process much easier. Baggins carries several classic Converse styles that work especially well as a DIY base thanks to their clean canvas and neutral colourways.

Custom Converse Wedding Shoes: High-Tops vs Low-Tops
High-top Converse make more of a visual statement and work well when the shoes are meant to be seen, such as with shorter outfits or relaxed silhouettes. Low-tops offer a more understated look and blend easily with longer garments.
Both styles work well for weddings, and the choice often comes down to personal preference and how visible the shoes will be throughout the day.
Featured Baggins Styles (High-Tops vs Low-Tops)
Baggins offers both hi-top and low-top Converse styles in classic, wedding-friendly colourways, making it easy to choose a silhouette that fits your outfit and comfort preferences.
