The wedding: it’s in the details

In a few days I will be married for two months! Can you believe it?

A lot of work went into our wedding when it came to the small things. We wanted the event to be spectacular in the grand scheme of things, but also down to the little details. It’s strange to plan something for so long, yet you have no idea of what it will all look like until the big day. By that time, you’ll be so busy you can hardly take it all in. I really did try, to enjoy every single moment, but thank goodness for photos!

Shoe, glorious shoe!

I had been looking for a while now for my wedding shoes, and it seems that it’s come down to an art. Your wedding shoes are special; they have a certain criteria to meet unlike any other shoe you will purchase. Mama Tai Shoes can vouch for this I know, as she went through 3 pairs until she found her perfect Shoes. I mean, Choos.

For me, the criteria was as follows. My wedding shoes had to be:

  • fashawn
  • sexy
  • affordable
  • wearable again
  • not any shade of white

Boy. This task was harder than it appeared to be at first. One day in January, I went to Town Shoes and came across a few pairs of heels that seemed to have potential. First were the cutest pairs of Steve Madden platform peep toes. The fact that they were Steve Maddens made me cringe (blister city) but they were hot!

Too bad I almost twisted my ankle taking my first step in the store. It was like putting my foot in a wooden clog with a heel.

Next up was a pair of David Dixon’s for Town Shoes. How awesome! They weren’t what I was initially thinking of, but they were Something Blue and pretty cute and classy. I especially liked how they had low heels (sort of), and they were actually comfy!

They didn’t carry my size in blue, so I had to get one transferred in and wait to try them on again. Sadly, the next time I tried them, things just weren’t the same. They were hurting and they weren’t fitting right. Next!

A couple of months later, I thought I’d give it another go. I somehow ended up in Town Shoes AGAIN! I immediately saw a pair of Enzo Angiolini gold snakeskin ankle wraps which seemed more appropriate for clubbing than a wedding, but I thought I’d try them on anyway. I fell in love with them the moment I put them on! J absolutely loves them, too.

They meet each one my criteria, and best of all, my feet will be having a party of their own underneath my big ass wedding dress.
