Wedding shoes!!

[ladyciel]

I posted these right after I got them, but here are mine:

I''m going to dye them blue, though I''m still deciding what shade. At first I was definitely thinking cobalt, but I''m leaning more towards a softer blue after holding some cobalt paint swatches up to my dress.

I also got some shoe clips from Absolutely Audrey. LOVE them. They slip perfectly between the two layers at the toe, so the back of the clip doesn''t even touch my foot.

 

[diamondfan]

Yeah, Freke, if you can cook you are a shoo in.

Skippy, of course! I would love a nice sister too.

Lady Ciel, what a about a dove gray-blue color? I am not being descriptive, but something almost steel colored but clearly with a blue to it...that could be gorgeous.

Anyone know the heel height on the David''s bridal Sedarby wanna bes?

Lauren, I want THOSE for my wedding! They would be perfect - especially since they''re dyeable. . .I can''t find the heel height on the David''s website - please please please tell me they''re under 3''! Do you know how high they are?

I believe they were right at 3". I hope that would work for you!

 

[FrekeChild]

Ok. So I think these are my dream wedding shoes. Especially because they would look AMAZING with that Badgley Mischka gown that musey found for me. Sparkly, strappy, pleated, a little whimsical...the only thing they aren''t is blue-but I love them in gray... link

Wow. I''m in love with them...

 

[buttercup80]

Those are gorgeous, Freke!

I got another pair (thanks to Lauren!) so now I''m a 2-shoe(well 4, really - 2 pairs) bride. . .Here they are in cornflower:

 

[FrekeChild]

Yay! Are you liking the cornflower, or what direction do you want to go in with the color blue? (This is assuming that they are white and dyeable...)

Here''s something I used for helping me with certain wedding aspects....don''t ask.
Linkity link link!!

 

[buttercup80]

I think I like the cornflower - I''m not really a pastel girl and I didn''t want anything too dark; this seems like a good balance. Plus, I didn''t want anything too aqua - I want it to be "blue" unquestionably. . .

You like?

 

[FrekeChild]

Yeah I like!!! But I like all blues, so I don''t know if that means anything special.

i''m getting dyeables from david''s in cornflower to match my bridesmaids'' dresses. also, my dress is slightly too long and can''t be hemmed, so i''m going to be wearing platforms even though i would''ve preferred something daintier--but i can''t walk in heels, and shorter heels wouldn''t make me tall enough for the dress, soooooo along came David''s bridal''s roxy!

Those clips are perfection.

I just ordered these today: Giuseppe Zanotti, approximately 2" heel. I AM IN LOVE!

 

[sweetlime]

i got my wedding shoes today. kate spade ''lover'' in ivory.

To those of you who bought those darling David''s Bridal shoes- dos anyone mind my asking how much they paid for them? A sale is always a good thing for shoes!!

 

[buttercup80]

Mine were $55 - not on sale. I liked them MUCH more than even more expensive shoes in my heel-height/desired color.

I was sort of iffy on my other shoes - but I''m excited for these - they''re much more "me"

They were about $45 when I found them at David''s about 2 years ago.

I got those little flower petal things that you stick in the heel and toe of the shoe so it won''t slip off, and it turned out to be pretty comfy all day!

Ok, I have been on an informal search (not even engaged yet!) for something I would wear for my wedding because I physically MUST wear a flat shoe--sprained my ankle three years ago and after 10 minutes, anything with even half an inch of heel makes my ankle ache horribly. I've found stuff that's ok, but nothing that made me say "oooh!" Until now.

Handmade ivory silk satin with organza overlay and a pearl button (can I say that in here?) by Hassall. I think they are loverly.

 

[gwendolyn]

Same shoes, this time in rose.

 

[buttercup80]

gwendolyn, in general I don''t care for flats, but I LOVE those - they''re so pretty and unique!

 

[jcrow]

sorry i don''t have blue to offer, but these were my first choice but couldn''t find them in my size.

tear.

 

[jcrow]

these were my runner ups. again. didn''t exist in my size. stupid size 5!

 

[jcrow]

these are what i ended up with. stewart weitzman turnabouts.

Gwen those are amazing! I was looking for something similar, but haven''t found them yet. Those are pricey eh? I''ve been looking for Indian "Khussa" shoes in the right colour, so maybe check those out for soemthing similar but a bit more frugal (if that is an issue for you). If I find any I will definitely keep you in mind!

Here''s my post with the picture of the shoes I love!

[gwendolyn]

buttercup80, thank you so much! I actually started looking for wedding shoes already because I usually don''t care for flats either (I am *so* picky!), but I love these! No idea what dress I will have so that should probably play a part, but I love love love them!

Hiya, October2008bride! They are a bit on the pricey side--£170. I am used to thinking of a £25 pair of shoes as being extravagant! I have the websites bookmarked in case they''re a possibility but budget will no doubt be a concern so if you do see anything similar, please let me know! I check out your thread and I LOVE those shoes! Have you chosen a pair yet? I see that thread dates back to December, so maybe?

And your dress, holy cow, it is INCREDIBLE!!!!

You look amazing!! What excellent taste you have.

I bought a pair of gold Manolos today! Er, and then some.

LMAO!!! I love it!

Do we get some peektures???

 

[FrekeChild]

Which ones Harriet?!

(And what else did you get?!)

 

[sunnygirl]

jcrow - i love those! Do you know if they are dyeable? I think some of Stuart Weitzman''s are...also how high is the heel?

 

[Gypsy]

Sunny JCrow got married a while ago, in terms of fashion seasons. The shoes may not still be available, you best bet is to call a SW store, ask them if they are dyable, and see if they still carry them.

 

[sunnygirl]

Ah thanks for the info gypsy! You are always so helpful!
