brides shoes – Mother of the Bride

Women… love shoes. What better way to express that love than pink wedding shoes? Studies prove that most women’s favorite color is pink — sexist I know, but facts don’t lie.

Okay, I’ll admit it. I have a little bit of a shoe fetish. I LOVE SHOES. I have since I was a little girl. A bit of background… while I am not a big woman, my feet WERE. When I was in 4th grade, a mere ten years old, my feet were the same size they are today – an average size 7 – for a woman, that is…My dad always told me how he “loved big feet.” And it wasn’t until I was a mother myself, that I realized how gentle and kind he was. I always felt good about myself — and my big feet! 🙂

If you’ve noticed, most of my blog’s “Header” pictures showcase a bride AND her shoes. I think shoes make or break an outfit, and there is NO more important attire than a bride’s. On KK’s wedding day, I’m going to insist her photographer take a few photos like the one below. I love this style of picture. We are going to have to purchase some special shoes…

The shoes in the picture above are spectacular. The look like fairy princess shoes. I bet they pinch, though. Although open toe shoes are not always the most flattering, they are much more comfortable that the lace confection above.

Okay…I’d take a little pain to wear the next pair with the roses on the heel. Gorgeous. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more feminine shoe. And isn’t that what a bride’s all about?

Want a pop and a flash? Then the hot pink shoes from www.shefinds.com are for you. A bride could have a simple, tailored dress, but these shoes would make any dress fabulous!

Second to your wedding dress and veil, the bride’s wedding shoes make the greatest statement. You can go for comfort, or style…or somewhere in-between. I think you may notice there’s a theme in this blog post… I like colored shoes. I like a bit of flare.

I wore plain white pumps. No embellishment, no sparkle, no flash. Maybe that’s why I so like the panache of a little color. (Do you know how hard it is to find white shoes in the winter? – We were married in January, and I put off getting my shoes till the last minute! I purchased them at South Coast Plaza, Orange County, California – in the third week of December.

The crowds, unbelievable. I knew Kenny truly loved me when he offered to drive me and stuck by my side the entire trip…except when I tried the shoes on, of course! He hated shopping then, as he does now…somethings never change! 🙂

If I had been smarter, I would have purchased my shoes at the bridal salon where I got my dress. If I recall correctly, however, they were too “flashy” for me at the time. NOW look what I think is beautiful!

KK has the cutest idea for her wedding shoes. I wish I could share it with you, I will after the wedding…but can’t yet. She is incorporating comfort AND style. She has a bit of a shoe obsession…

There is no need to buy your shoes at a bridal salon. There are so many options out there on the internet. But be cautious…if you order something from an on-line store overseas…you may be out of luck if you need to return them. I ordered a bridesmaid dress from such a retailer. Even though they said they had a “return policy”- they didn’t. They would not accept my return – and the dress was faulty – they wanted to “remake” it, plus have me order five more…really?!?
