Show Me Your: Wedding Shoes!

SewInLoveWithDMB

(I totally just posted this in the NJ local board. I meant to post here instead, but then I realized that was totally fine cause different people frequent both, and honestly, pretty shoes are fun. Oops. So it's a repeat, but not. I'm just so out of it)

Gosh, why didn't you put an XP in front of the thread title? Sheeeeesh.

This is before I took the tape off. I think it's also before I was completely satisfied with the glue/glitter mix, so I think I ended up painting on another coat.

(Edited because the picture was HUGE before)

Very cool! I didn't know you were doing your own. I think we'd be friends in life - I do A LOT of crafts (I mean, A LOT)

I have to agree with this statement. I'm DIYing so many things for the wedding, it's ridiculous. 

I also sew. FH knits, yes, he knits. He's going to try and teach me how, but he even admitted, "I don't think you have the... patience.... for knitting. Crocheting might be better for you." (lol!)

I knit and crochet a bit. I'm way better at knitting than crochet. However, I have taught FI to knit! He has made one scarf for his mom and a hat for his sister!

Hahahahahahahahahaha. It's only funny because I'm imagining him (with his epic sideburns) sitting with a ball of hot pink yarn, knitting a scarf. FH has made (or is still making? I'm not sure where he is with it now) us a big cable knit blanket for the couch.

I crochet and I love it! My 'thing' is to make blankets for wedding gifts and a little stuffed animal for baby showers. :-)

alison: super cute color!

DMB: love the bling on yours

I don't have a picture of my exact shoes, but they are these dyed plum

mochietoe

Here are my shoes.

 I just found a picture of them with a blinged out heel while I was searching for a picture of them. What do you guys think?

I am trying to decide between these ones, which I already own:

and these ones, which I also own:

and these ones, which I don't own but would be new for the wedding (and could be my blue!):

I like the blue ones Jaenella - but i'm partial to a peep toe ALWAYS!

Here are mine:



However, they are a little too short - I am not sold on keeping them. I am still on the lookout.

These are my shoes. I love them! They are my pop of color and match the bridemaide dresses. They are the Disney Glass Slipper Collection. They were on sale too!

SimplyME22

These are mine.  I originally wanted to dye them, but I have concern with the dye not being waterproof and ending up having streaks on the bottom of my dress if it rains.  So, I'm going to cover them in lace and beading.

Stina51286

These are mine.


Short heel since I have horrible feet. They will be dyed champagne (the same color as my dress).

millersox2184

These are my shoes.  I am not too good at walking in heels and where we are getting married and taking picutes is very hilly and rocky.  If I wear heels, I will probably break my ankle!

What did you do to them?  They look AWESOME!!  I love all the sparkle!!

I'm 99.9% sure these are the ones I'll be wearing:



My FI asked I get low heels, and with it being a bit of a walk from the changing room to the ceremony, and it being outdoors on a semi-rough path, these seemed like a great option.

I love all the shoe pictures! Yey!!

a lot of people made a comment about a 'pop of color' - is this necessary or personal preference? I was planning on havign an all ivory/white pallette myself. That won't be boring will it?

[Deleted User]

shayla- I took a pair of shoes I already owned that are comfy, and in good shape (structurally, not aesthetically). Add some glitter/mod podge mix, and a little patience, and ta-da!

hannah- I'd say it's personal preference. I don't think it would be boring to have ivory/white shoes. I did the blue because I could... and I couldn't find shoes that I liked.

I considered having mine dyed Tiffany blue for a bit, but then I realized I might not actually want a pop of color. I sorta want the shoes to blend, not stand out if a portion peeps out when I take a step.

So, I'm going for the overall ivory/white look myself. It's totally personal preference.

For me you can't really see my shoes cause my dress comes down too long.  I have always wanted red shoes cause they are my thing, I have at least 3 pairs of them already and Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite movies.  I'm also kinda known for my pop of color shoes, I wear all black with crazy shoes all the time.

Here is my shoes.  It is a very small heal, only about 1-2 inches.  I don't wear heals all the time like I used to.  Not sure if I am going to leave as is or dye them plum or blue.  

I suck at taking pictures!

I have the same exact ones...im not dying them from the reviews they dont look as good

libby18bell

Just a warning on dying shoes, at least from personal experience.  If you go with dying a color color, like red, or blue, they will most like leave some color on your feet.  Unless the quality of dye has improved in the past 10 years, that was pretty typical if your feet sweat or get wet by accident.

I think I like the idea of dyeing shoes in a bubble, but in reality, it doesn't seem as if it would go as well as planned.

When I think of dyed shoes, I think of bridesmaids from the 1980s. Now, I was considering having mine dyed as well, so it's not something I would be opposed to doing, but it doesn't necessarily have the best connotation.

I think if you want a pop of color, try to find a shoe in that color?  After finding my shoe and liking how they looked in white/ivory (I honestly don't know which it is?) I decided that they were fine they way they were. I have seen shoes dyed very well, but I've also seen them look sloppy. This may also be a bit far fetched, but is there any chance the dye can rub off onto the bottom of your dress? I think I just decided it was one less thing to think about! (But I have seen some really cool photos with shoes in a bright color!)
