Shoes!!!

My favorite thing to talk about :)

I started my search for shoes as soon as I found my dress. I'll admit, while trying on dresses I was secretly thinking to myself "I wonder what kind of shoes would go with this dress" Of course Tony says "why does it matter, you can't see them anyhow!" Even if you can't see them under the dress, they'll still make you feel good! Especially for us short peeps!

So, after I found the dress I began my daily search for shoes. This searching only lead to the idea of having more than one pair. One for the ceremony, a pair of boots for in between the ceremony and reception- Hello! It'll be winter! I can't be walking around in snow and mush while wearing high heels. #1 its dangerous and #2 it'll wreck the shoes! I'd also like to have a pair of fun heels for the reception. SO excited!

Ceremony Shoes

I google image vintage lace shoes-after a few pages I spoted them.

The perfect shoes. I wanted them. I had to have them.

One problem tho, the website attached to the picture did not have the shoes. I continued my research trying to figure out the designer of the shoes by the picture. No luck. I texted my friend Amber who is a shoe fanatic-I thought if anyone could find them it'd be her. Still no luck.  I some how ended up on a site similar to this blog- a photographers blog. This picture of these perfect shoes, was taken by a photographer attending a wedding somewhere in Europe. Below the picture were a few comments from other brides in search of these shoes. Turns out they are genuine vintage on display in a museum. Great. Heart = Broken.

Then I found these little gems.

Again, I fell in love with them. The part that really got me hooked was when I found out you can have your wedding date printed on the sole of the shoe. How amazing is that. Not only are they perfect for the wedding but then they can sit on display in Marilyn's room. But there is a down side. You are able to get the date on the shoe because they are EACH HANDMADE. Oh and did I mention they are made in Europe. Again. So you can imagine what the price tag is for these ones. A girl can dream right?

I haven't given up hope yet. My shoes are out there somewhere, preferably in the US.  Apparently Europe is the only location that style is popular.

Between Ceremony and Reception

Since we picked a winter wedding I believe we need to stick with the theme. Boots! It'll be too cold to be walking around in heels so I wanted to have my uggs as in between shoes.

While looking at photographers I caught a photo of the wedding party wearing their uggs too. It was one of the cutest wedding party pics I had ever seen. So, I'm going to try and find a pair of knock off uggs for all the girls either in black or red. I hope to get some fun pictures with those. Plus it'll be fun!

Reception Shoes

These will be my party shoes. I'm thinking RED. Yep, that'll work! Fun, funky red high heels. I haven't found those yet. Possibly something similar to these...

Or funkier....I'll be sure to let you know when I find them!!
