Wedding Freke - wanna help me with shoes!?

[ljsmith001]

Hi Freke.. I am picking up on the fact that you lOVE shoes! Want to help me find some cute pairs for my wedding?! I would love your guidance! I am 5''7" and want to stary around 3" or so. My FI is only about 4" taller than me and I don''t want to end up taller than him! I am really thinking I want a baby blue shoe! Doesn''t have to be, but I would either go with baby blue, silver, or white. I like peeptoes for sure. My wedding is at the very end of December, so no sandals - far too cold for that business! I don''t want to spend much over 100 and would love to stay below that if possible! Love those Manola Sed''s that everyone is wearing but can''t pull those off money-wise! Let me know if you know of anything!

Ivory and light blue? There are these fabulous peeptoes at Nordstrom, they''re a pearlized cream color with large ( I know this sounds korny, but they''re beautiful) blue and white flowers on the toes. I was just yesterday bemoaning that they didn''t exist in time for my wedding! I think the manufacturer is Paolo linea but I can''t find a picture...

 

[FrekeChild]

What size do you wear?

 

[FrekeChild]

Here goes nothing...

light blue slingback peep toe with bow

light blue shorter heel slingback peep toe

All different colors-a little taller than you asked for and kind of sandal-y

silver peep toe slingback

only in 8, 8.5, 9 silver slingback peep toe

silver peep toes with ankle straps

White is seriously lacking...Ok I have to go eat something. Perhaps closer to fall there will be more...Let me know if you see anything you like...

Hmmm..

I liked Number 1 the best! # 2 is not my style exactly, but still cute. The 3rd wasn''t the right shade of blue. I keep finding blue shoes but hardly ever are they a gentle baby blue! Like you said as it gets mall into Fall I might find more, I''m just so anxious that I can''t stop thinking about my shoes and jewelry now that I picked out my dress. Seriously though, I will keep # 1 as a contender, very pretty! Thanks for your help! Ohh, and I have a big foot - 10!

Those first ones are really cute!

Freke you are good! I love the blue idea!

I have to put in my two cents, and if I could wear a 3" heel, I SO would... how about these!? SHOES!

 

[ljsmith001]

Jules - thanks for chiming in!! I appreciate all the help I can get! I think I am leaning towards shoe # 1 still though. Did you look at them! They are sooooo cute and they are 70 dollars cheaper too! I am trying to stay around 100 dollars since I did a REALLY bad job with my wedding budget.

I got so wrapped up in everything, I think I went over in every category! Oh well, hope it will be amazing!

I know lj!!!All of the blue shoes out there are bright blue or turquoise or navy. Mostly navy. It sucks!!!

Ok, these are pretty casual, but they come in your size (I wish they came in mine!) so here: link

And here is this-although pretty strappy, a bit out of price range and I''ve heard they''re not the comfiest-and too tall, but at least they''re baby blue! link

Ok. I hit the dreaded Zappos. Yeesh. And I have to admit that pickings are still slim. No blue except bright and navy. So I hit up the silver.

silver satin with bow detail

silver satin jeweled detail half bow thing

silver with sequins 3.25 inches

a little strappy, silver things

And somewhat expensive but totally fabulous shoes:

cute juicy couture

Love these Via Spigas 3.25 inches

 

[ljsmith001]

Ahhhh!!

OMG love the Juicys and the Vias!!
Wouldnt it be that way?! With my taste and history of course I would LOVE
the most expensive shoes!! I think I''m going to go out tomorrow to stores in Louisville
and look around. We have an off broadway that I can sometimes find some fab shoes at..

does anyone else shop there? I''ve already looked at Macys, Dillads, Von Maur, etc.

Thanks Freke! I still like the very first pair you showed me and the very last 2!

 

[FrekeChild]

Lol lj. I hope you find something!!!

(And I love those Via Spigas too!! They are gorgeous-and still on my browser-I''m going to keep my eye on them for a while and see if they go further on sale!!!)

 

[julesbeth]

Lj! I hear ya! I went over and continue to go over on EVERYTHING! My shoes though, I refused to pay a ton for, so I completely understand! #1 is darling!!! I love that you are doing blue!
