If you're in to reading totally irrational, pointless rants about nothing of great importance, that this is the perfect post for you. Read on, you silly little thing you, read on.
Well, the title of this post pretty much says it all. Wedding shoes are majorly stressful! Out of all the wedding stuff so far, I think picking out wedding shoes have taken up the most time and caused the greatest frustration. Why you ask? Because of a silly and obnoxious person called...me!
Here's the thing, I don't care about the shoes at all, but I totally care about the shoes! Major contradiction, right? Right. And that's the problem. See, I don't care enough about what the shoes look like that I'm willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of shoes that I'll wear for 45 minutes on one day. Yea, I know many of you have said you can totally wear your wedding shoes again with cocktail dresses, etc., but I'm not a heel person. I love the way they look, can rock them for an hour or two, and then *BAM* here come the flip flops. If I could pull off a whole day of heels, I'd understand biting the bullet and splurging a little, but, again, I more of a flats, flip flops, wedges kind of a gal. The hunt for affordable yet cute wedding shoes began and boy was it a task! I wanted shoes no higher than 3" (but flats were no go too...I wanted to have a little height but didn't want to tower over Graym), with a T or ankle strap so I wouldn't slip out, not too flashy with a ton of sparkly jewel stuff, and they needed to be white. Diamond white. Not this off white ivory stuff that all the dresses (and therefore shoes) come in these days. Like a crisp, fresh layer of snow white to match my dress. A surprisingly tough combo. Either they were too tall, the wrong color, a weird style, or most importantly too expensive.
FINALLY after months of searching I finally found a pair that I like and have ordered which is uber exciting but with online shopping only comes more anxiety. Will the shoes fit? Will I have to exchange them? What if they are too high? Or uncomfortable?
*Sigh* I give up hahaha. At least I finally ordered a pair and they are really nice. In case you were wondering, I had to order the shoes now because my first dress fitting is the first weekend in June. Why so early? My dress has very delicate layers with intricate lace details that can't simply be hemmed. These details have to be removed and sewn back on by hand, which is going to take this poor woman a couple months to do. Crazy, right? The little things you don't realize come along with purchasing a wedding dress! Anyways, you can check out the pretty little heels here if you'd like. Let's just hope that they fit and I love them just as much on as I do in the picture :)
