Can't find the shoes I want

jesscatto

Ok so this is going to sound weird but I am trying to find camouflage heels for my wedding. The dress is long enough so you can't see the heals but my FI is into hunting and fishing and is always wearing camo when in the bush so I thought this would be a nice touch for him. Unfortunately I can't find anything elegant enough for the wedding, the only ones I have found are from costume shops and seem low quality. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of where to look. Thanks in advance!

I think 'camo' and 'elegant' are antithetical, so I'm no help there. Would plain olive heels do? Or a camo-print garter might be easier to find. If you're not going to do a toss, it could then be your little secret for him to discover when you're alone after the wedding.

Like the garter idea if you want to do some camo, you could do that as a sexy thing just for him as pp suggested, and then your shoes can be all you :-)  I'm sure you know you can have a garter to keep for him even if you do have a garter toss, and that many sets come with a smaller toss garter so you can keep the fancy one as a memento.  I've seen camo print garters when I was looking at bridal accessories.

I'm sorry but I don't think camo and weddings go together.  If you're going to do it I like the garter idea better than the shoes.

I think I might have a pair, bought years ago in JCPenneys. Let me see if I can find them. They were never worn. I think they are platform/pump style with some gold sparkle. Maybe 3" heel, size 9 or 9.5.

This site has several to choose from that are more formal:

I agree with the PP about ordering a garter if you can't find shoes.  I've seen quite a few camo garters around, but not so much on the camo shoes.

FWIW, I think it's really cute that you want to do this, even if it's not very traditional.  My FI is very into hunting and fishing as well, but this never occured to me.    GL!

I agree the camouflage garter would be a unique touch that wouldn't look strange. The shoes are a bit much and difficult to find.

Thank you gmcr78! I love the camo formal site, the shoe clips are perfect!
