in Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul
Good morning! Our topic for today (S) is... Tell us all about your wedding day shoes! Where did you find them?  How much did they cost?  Are you getting white shoes or adding a pop of color?  Flats, low heels, or high heels?  PIPs of course get extra credit.PIP Instructions: http://talk.theknot.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=61206852

     My shoes are Unity in matte white by Etienne Aigner from Macy's ($69).  I add "H + J" in blue rhinestones ($2) on the bottom of the arch for my "something blue."  I'm also changing into a pair of flats at the reception, because I plan on dancing, and flats are necessary for that.  They are Bali Skimmer from Alloy ($29).  Unfortunately, the flats aren't as comfy as I had hoped, so I'm working on stretching them out a bit before the wedding.  I might still go with something else.

    My shoes are purple and look a lot like these:Not so high of a heel. These are my sassy shoes.My comfy shoes:I found them at the Gap, dancin shoes! I'll probably be switching between both shoes depending on walking, where we take pictures, dancing, etc.

    YAY! I love my shoes SOOO much! They are my FAVORITE color & match the BM dresses perfectly...and I know i will get a lot of use out of them after the wedding...they are also surprisingly comfortable (i may or may not have been wearing them around the house for the past few months...haha) Kate Spade Karolina - Cobalt Blue [img]<a href="http://tinyurl.com/knncup" rel='nofollow'>http://tinyurl.com/knncup</a>[/img] and my comfy shoes for dancing at the reception are Nine West Satin Flats...also in blue...if you can't tell - i really like this color :) [img]<a href="http://tinyurl.com/nmskkk" rel='nofollow'>http://tinyurl.com/nmskkk</a>[/img]

    These are my shoes!  I'm 5'9" as it is, and while FI is about 1/2" taller than I am, I refuse to be any taller than that in the pictures (and he won't let me LOL)I DIY'd them with flip flops from Old Navy, some flip flop glue, and some Swarovski crystals!  I LOVE THEM!  I wish I could wear them now, they are so fun and really comfortable!  Thinking of making a pair for each of my BMs too as part of their gift....

    Here are my shoes, from David's Bridal, They are lace and I love them! I haven't decided on comfy shoes yet, don't know how that works to go from 2-3" heels to flats with a dress hemmed to the heels height.[IMG]<a href="http://i28.tinypic.com/14illi8.jpg" rel='nofollow'>http://i28.tinypic.com/14illi8.jpg</a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://i28.tinypic.com/21mw3ys.jpg" rel='nofollow'>http://i28.tinypic.com/21mw3ys.jpg</a>[/IMG]

    For those switching from heels to flats - are you worried at all about stepping on the hem of your dress?

    I bought my shoes from Target.  I knew I wanted flats (FI is 3 inches shorter), something that I could wear again, and that were really cheap.  I found these for $12.99 and they match the bronze in the earrings that I bought.http://www.target.com/Mossimo-Supply-Co-Odell-Ballet/dp/B001HXGJWM/qid=1248792788/ref=br_1_9/186-4394123-7288623?ie=UTF8&node=13827221&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1Ok, so I couldn't get the picture to post, so I put the hyperlink in here instead.

    LS - not with my height. With the heels the lining is about 1.5" from the floor. So with flats I should be about good, and I can just hold the hem to help as well. How were yours? Did you switch at all?

    I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing these shoes from Hey Lady. They're $240, but they're ADORABLE (and I have a 10% off coupon). And Hey Lady shoes are made SUPER comfortable, so I can wear them all night. I don't want to wear heels and then switch to flats -- because then I'd be stepping on my dress all night, and that would drive me INSANE!

    I also bought mine from Target. They are kind of a pale gold color and they are flats with a pointy toe. 16$ or something like that, which is especially great because I know I will wear them all the time after the wedding! yeah, and I dont think my PIP attempt is working... boo.

    I looove my shoes - or what I hope will be my shoes! They're Stuart Weitzman, and I found them on multiple sites, but endless.com had them on sale (for $147...yeech!), in my size, and with free both-ways shipping, so that's where I got them. I still have to try them on with my dress to make sure they look good with it - but they're super comfy, wonderfully shimmery and red, so I hope they do! I'll find out on Thursday :)

    I purchased my Nina Alauras at the Goodwill Wedding Fair for only $25!  They are a bit high (3 inches) so I might buy some lower heels for the reception.They are currently white and will either be dyed an ivory, sage green or a very light pink.[img]<a href="http://www.dyeableshoesavenue.com/shop/images/350.jpg" rel='nofollow'>http://www.dyeableshoesavenue.com/shop/images/350.jpg</a>[/img]

    I searched high and low for some pretty fuschia colored shoes,with a small heel, for my wide feet.  I finally gave up the search and ordered some dyeable shoes from David's Bridal.I ordered "Paige" and they were around 55 dollars.  I'll be dying them azalea...they shoul be in around the end of this month! I'm so excited!!  I have some flip flops for the reception, that have a platform heel so that the difference between the dress shoes and sandals is not too drastic.

    *Laurel&Mike* - pretty sure those are the shoes that I ALMOST bought, but were definitely my runner up.  I love the idea of having sparkly metallic shoes, but that aren't over the top.  Not sure why it's so hard to get Target pics to post- probably because they don't want anyone like us using them.

    Saw them in a bridal magazine, ordered them from Jackie J's in Alexandria where I got my dress.  They are $97.  She will dye the satin ivory, then black after the wedding so I will actually wear them again.  The crystals are Swarovski, so the picture does NOT do these wedges justice!The name of them is Lily Ann by Special Occasions

    I II decided to go comfortable. I love skecher and mary jane style shoes so these were perfect for me. I found them on 6pm.com for only $28. And they have a little sparkle.

    My high heels are 2 3/4" high. They are "love me tenders" by dyeables. I got them at the wedding shoppe and they were $75 after dying them purple. I loved everywhere for purple shoes and no luck. Of course, now I am seeing them more and more because of fall. [img] <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ld3npw" rel='nofollow'>http://tinyurl.com/ld3npw</a>[/img] Then I am changing into these flipflops when needed. They are from Target and I think they were $10?

    Smorriso, where did you get your high heels? They are exactly what I've been looking for! I am on the hunt for my shoes now since I have a dress fitting in 10 days!  I know I want heels.  Any suggestions for where I should go?  I've been to Macy's, Nordstroms and DSW and have had no luck.
