Be honest. We all "judge" a bit here and there! I'm pretty easy going and mostly a live and let live type of girl, but I was catching up on my blogs* this morning and read a post about $1,000 bridal shoes. UM...WHAT?!?! They are the Manolo's from SATC (in pink).

Now look, I'm a shoe person. I wouldn't/don't have a problem dropping some dough on a Kate Spade shoe, or a designer shoe on sale at Neiman's/Nordstrom/Saks. And honestly, I've considered buying a pair of black, classic Manolo slingbacks (
clicky, whenever I can afford them...not on credit or anything). I know I would wear those for a lifetime and since my career is in a more formally dressed environment they aren't something I'd only wear a couple of times). But at the same time I'm like, ehhh $1,000 bucks is a lot on a shoe.
Then I think to myself, I'm a dress person as well. I'll probably spend more than most people think is tasteful when it comes time to buy a wedding dress and I don't really care what people think about it.
So what do you think? It's really down to taste and preferences, I realize. Some people spend a lot on the venue, some people on a dress, or TWO dresses. Some people are foodies so the food bill is huge. Some people think weddings are "just one day" so why splurge on anything.
But is there anything you would or have 'judged' or side-eyed. Anything you've seen IRL or on the boards that make you go Hmmm. No need to call anyone out (and I'm not) but it just made me think. I'd splurge on a dress, but not shoes. Is there a difference? Maybe, maybe not. And what would/have you splurged on?
*The blog is called Pretty Shiny Sparkly (you can google it, she's weird about link backs and "haters", though I'm not a hater. I like her blog and can't wait to see how her "rustic chic" theme turns out). It's a style blog that turned wedding blog. I was a reader before she got engaged so I didn't seek out a wedding blog! Haha!
