Friday’s Top Five…and a sneak peek

…wedding shoe choices.

Who would’ve thought when I was picking out my wedding shoes that it would be such a tough choice? I actually have had my ceremony shoes for months, but lately I have been struggling with what type of “dancing shoes” to wear while I party like its 1999. Here are some boards with some definite swoon worthy footwear and at the end, a little sneak peek into my wedding day footwear.

#1. The Classic Heel.

Not much to say here. Simple. Elegant. Timeless.

#2. The Glitz

It is after all your wedding day, why not add a little frosting to your life?

#3. The Flat

Heels aren’t for everyone (crazy, I know). Here are some cuties for all you tall ladies out there.

#4. A little bit of color…

I.am.a.fan.

#5. The miscellaneous.

Winter UGGS? Flip Flops? Barefeet? Wedges? Hey, its YOUR wedding and only YOU know what vibe you’re going for!

Which type did I pick you may ask? Im def. a #4. girl. I wanted a little bit of flare on my feet (I love shoes) and so, I searched and searched and searched. The one day, I found the perfect pair- Badgley Mischka’s Lissa style. It took me a few days to bite the bullet, but then I thought to myself, “perfect color- check! Can wear again, check, check! Gorgeous design Carrie Bradshaw would approve of, SOLD.”
Buttttt, while I LURVE these shoes, the 4.5inch heel may be a bit grueling to get down with my bad self in, so I am debating on these two options for the reception.
Part of me knows the whole reason you get reception shoes is for comfort, so get the shimmer flats, but I am a heels girl at heart and I like a little height. Aren’t all TOMS supposed to be comfy? Then part of me thinks, those Badgley Mischka’s are so gorgeous I may never take them off…This is harder than picking my wedding dress. Decisions, Decisions.
What’s your wedding shoe style? Should I go with the wedge or flat TOMS for my reception?

    I had beautiful gold Jimmy Choos as my wedding shoes and then changed into gold flip-flops half way though the night. The shoes were stunning but man did they kill my feet!

    Love the purple pumps!

    I wore jewel incrusted flip flops for my wedding and it was the best decision ever. I was super comfortable the whole day. Remember unless you have a short dress, no one is going to see your shoes. You need to be comfortable. My shoes were gorgeous. Satin and bejeweled, very classy.

    I would tend toward the heels, but for dancing and comfort I would go with the flats. Even if they were just a back up for when your feet really started to hurt!

    I would lean towards the glitzy stuff, but the shoes that you chose are gorgeous and will make such a statement! I would lean more towards the flats for the reception, later on in the night anyway. They're super cute!

    I am so in love with the color idea. It makes it super fun to add an accent to you among all the white/ivory. I did a red flat… so they brought comfort and that color pop 🙂

    I would totally go for a pair of glitzy Toms! Comfortable, fun and probably really unexpected.
    You will be a beautiful bride!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE your ceremony shoes! Beyond beautiful! And I'm going to vote for the shimmer TOMS. I personally don't find them comfortable, but I think flats will be WAY better for dancing if you're going to party for hours.

    I got silver sparkly heels and loved them to death. They were the best and I instantly knew I wanted them. I also wore them for the reception. Because dancing is my favorite, I did end up taking them off later in the night and just going barefoot. Should I not admit that? Oh well. I couldn't stop dancing!

    I definitly like the color shoes. For my reception, I went with bright blue peeptoe pumps, but they only had a 2" heel. I danced in them all night.

    I really like the classy heels but I don't mind having all of these in my shoe closet! 😀

    I wore heels with a jewel on the front, and it ended up catching on my lace wedding dress almost the whole night. Something to think about if your dress has lace/tulle at the bottom! Good luck with the shoe shopping!!
