That's an entire post from a young lady with RA who loves to dance. Maybe there is a brand or particular pair in there that will spark your interest. I was intrigued by the glitter Toms--depending on the wedding crowd, those could be really freaking cool.
I can send you my bedazzler. The last project I did was an abaya for my Arabian horse breeder friend. Never bedazzled shoes before!
Momhappy, I had no idea strassing CL's was a thing. Several years ago here on PS people were blinging out their phones and sometimes their wedding shoes, but I thought it had gone out of vogue. Apparently I was wrong, after a quick Google. I thought CL made shoes that were already strassed? I guess DIY is money-saving, but I just read a blog post that said it took the author 30 hours??? That is some bling dedication!
Yes, strassing is a thing I'm not sure how much of a money-saver it is though - I suppose, if you're comparing it to purchasing a brand new pair of stressed CL's which can run between about $3000-$5000+), then I guess it's more cost effective. You're still spending a large amount of money not just for the shoes, but also for the materials (not to mention the time involved).
Here's some examples of my work:
