Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

[Lilian84]

I was thinking the same. I saw one on babyonline and I absolutely love it. I keep going back to it. But I want to try some on just to see if the style suits me. It's a bit nerve racking ordering a dress I've never tried on, but worst case i'll try selling it and it's really cheap so it's not the end of the world.

I think we have a lot in common!

I ordered a custom dress online, from eBay, direct from a factory in China. I was really nervous at first but it turned out AMAZING. It was just under $150 with shipping and had $55 bill from seamstress for a couple of minor alterations (adding a train pick up/bustle, steaming, minor tweaks here and there)! I most definitely was NOT going to spend more on shoes than I did on my dress, just couldn't do it LOL. (love that shoe site though - if you knew EXACTLY what you wanted and couldn't find it, what better then to have it made -so long as you are ok with the price tag lol)

I kept searching for the right shoes and figured I'd just end up going barefoot (but then decided the sand might be way too *&%%^$^% hot at 2pm).

Then a couple weeks ago, not looking for shoes at all... I was in Walmart and found the PERFECT pair! They are silvery metallic, flip flop style top with rhinestone jewels on the straps, and have a bit of a wedge heel! They are not full wedges, but they are soo cute! For $20 I think I got a steal of a deal! I just snapped a quick pic of them - attached.

I also bought these cute flip flops for after the ceremony that leave 'just married' imprinted in the sand: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Just-Married-White-Bride-Flip-Flops-Something-Blue-Wedding-Bridal-Shower-Gift-/400408844478?pt=US_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item5d3a3a18be

@@linaco80 Yeah Guess has nice flip flops, but I'm only 5 feet tall so I need the height!!!

This is another idea: DIY shoes. Finding a pair of white wedges and then pimping them up with lace and other fancy things. This youtube video gave me the idea, it seems pretty simple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE-cEVAsRZM

 

And that my friends is 150!!!

@@linaco80 You'll get there soon!! Those are all nice love the dsw ones for the reception. But yeah I do have time trying on dresses in 2 or 3 weeks and then I can focus on the shoes too. Have you tried some on?

[linaco80]

@@Lilian84 Yes, was almost going for Maggie Sottero Tracey... the price is $1,700 plus alterations. I will order it because I dont feel completely crazy about that dress or any dress. People say "you will find it" I cannot find the dress I am falling in love with

I have to order basically ASAP if I want a Maggie dress...all are supper big on me and I think that is one of the reasons why.

I just started my search for shoes but have no idea where to begin...

[Lilian84]

@@bkprettygirl  are you thinking flats, heels, or wedges? It's not as easy as I thought to find a fancy wedge sandal. I'm going shopping in a few weeks to try dresses on the 'bridal street' in Montreal, they have a lot of shoe stores so I will check them out.
