[Guest Post] - Wedding Day Shoes

Sometimes we all need a little break and today was a day I needed a blogging break.  But don't worry I still have something fun for you all to read! Thanks to Megan for this wonderful {Guest Post}!

After seeing Monday’s blog with those BEAUTIFUL Louboutins, I started thinking about the shoes brides wear on their big day.  As I have been a bridesmaid in multiple weddings, I always find that the shoes underneath the dress truly reflect the individual.  It made me think, what would I wear?

Two types of shoes came to mind:
First, if you know me, I hardly wear heels and when I do, I complain 99% of the time.  Due to my aversion to heels, I have become a flats aficionado.  I LOVE the Lanvin ballet flats.  Beautiful, simple, comfortable, and something that I could wear multiple times.  These flats come in multiple colors, so you can pick the one that fits you and your wedding theme! 

Another flat I love is the Repetto flats.  Repetto is a French ballet shoe company that also designs and sells “chaussures femme”.  Another example of how a flat can be elegant and timeless.

My second choice type of shoes is, wait for it…. cowboy boots.  As a native Texan, cowboy boots have become a staple shoe in my shoe collection.  My favorite boot brand is Lucchese.   To me, the cowboy boot would symbolize my personality – lighthearted, fun, whimsical, and truly Texan.  And not to mention, they’re extremely comfortable!



What shoes would you or did you wear on your wedding day?

  2. I wore my Mom's wedding shoes :D They were the cutest things ever! The were of Ivory color and reminded me of old fashioned Mary Jane shoes.

  3. LO freakin L! I wrote about my shoes today, too!!! Rope sandals made by an Egalitarian community in the Ozarks are my bridal reception footwear since I'll be barefoot for the wedding.

    Love the cowgirl boot idea. That is my vote!

  5. Ah, man...had I worn a traditional dress, I probably would have worn my cowboy boots. I wore these red heels that I love, though. I hardly ever wear heels either...they hurt my feet. The only reason I wore heels was because my dress already had to be taken up so much even with the heels. I figured the dress would start to look funny should I take it up even more. I don't know how tall these stores think the average woman is!

  6. Those first pair of heels are awesome. I really like flats too and mary janes. Not so keen on the cowboy boots though white victorian boots seem more appropriate to me.

  7. Oh I love cowboy shoes but I don't think I'd wear them on my wedding! Nini (followed you back)

  8. I'd wear those red Louboutins...they are so screaming out "passion" and "sex" in a decent, exciting way while the dress would say "pure" and "precious".

  10. The first pair of flats is so adorable and it would look sweet paired up with a wedding dress. Wish you both a great day

  11. I love the look of something different! I wore pretty traditional shoes and wish I got something with color, because I am sure I'll never wear mine again! Oops!
