If The Shoe (s) Fit…
January 22nd, 2008 @ 1:34 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea
Since I will have my first fitting next Saturday for my dress, I called to ask what I should bring with me. Naomi at Blush Couture said any undergarments (a la Spanx, which I’m sure will become my best friend) and my shoes. My shoes… oh my God, I hadn’t really even thought about shoes. Luckily, Mom Hydrangea and I were out on a shopping excursion for wedding things this past weekend, so off we went to look at shoes.
In my previous post I mentioned the pin that I will be wearing in my hair the day of the wedding. It is a beautiful sapphire and diamond heirloom piece that I have admired since I was a little girl. To tie this in, I really wanted navy shoes to go with my dress. I figured it would be no big deal, but Mom H and I had the hardest time finding navy blue shoes that looked appropriate for my dress.
After searching all over the mall, we went into Barney’s and I fell in love with an amazing pair of navy blue shoes. Mind you, these were the only contenders we had found all day. Mom H told me to try them on, and we decided to get them!
So now… the pièce de résistance -
Was finding the perfect shoe hard for you?

(You have no idea how much I dream of Christian Louboutins. Seriously. I have a picture of shoes in my office to keep me motivated through grad school. Once I defend my dissertation, those babies are mine. I hate to say it, but I’m a little envious right now.)
Those are absolutely fab fab fab shoes!
Oh they are DIVINE!!! Lucky girl wearing Louboutins and the wonderful thing is that you can totally wear those after the wedding too. Wonderful choice!!!
I feel you! The wedding shoes that are my dream shoes are from Louboutin 3 seasons ago. The boutique, Saks, and Barneys were no help.
ooo well…the search continues!
Louboutins… you lucky lucky girl! Those are FABULOUS! I’m a shoe fiend too and it was a tough choice, but I knew when I saw my shoes, I had to have them. 
OOooh those are so pretty!
Ooooo pretty - congrats! I broke down and bought a pair of Louboutins as well - with the excuse that I will wear them ALL the time after the wedding… they are the prettiest wine color! Now if they only didnt hurt…
Loubs!! One of my favorite shoe designers. I have a pair and they are beautiful. I love the blue satin, GORGEOUS. I was also on a hunt for wedding Loubs but instead fell in love with a silver satin Gucci pair. Finding the shoes was harder than finding the dress but I am a shoe lover by heart so finding the perfect pair was very important to me.
Oh those are beautiful! They’re just perfect for your dress!
I am terribly jealous along with everyone else. Beautiful!
OOOOOOOOOOO i have buyers remorse…..
haha it took me forever to find the perfect pair, but i finally did! yay for non-typical wedding shoes. =)
LOVE THEM!!!
My dress came in but I keep delaying scheduling a fitting because I haven’t had time to even think about shoes. I think I really don’t want to go because I know I will fall in love with super duper expensive shoes and then will be in bad mood when I can’t take them home. My fiance has informed me that since HE has $250K in medical school loans to pay off, I’m not allowed to spend more than $50 on shoes for the wedding.
Phooey.
So pretty! Congrats on finding *the* shoe- I was just thinking about this yesterday and it’s so hard to find something that really fits the bill. I’m still looking!
I got some blue louboutins too! i love them soooo much. havent broken the news to the FI yet - but i do have the justification of wearing them again! yeah for non wedding- wedding shoes! : )
OMG - those shoes are STUNNING! *squees with jealousy*
Shoe shopping in Barney’s? - I’m soooo jealous. I’m having a devil of a time finding shoes, since the perfect pair I THOUGHT I was going to wear, I’ve come to realize will just sink straight into the grass at our ceremony site.
Gorgeous!!! Still looking… fortunately I don’t need them for my first fitting. I’m going to use a pair at the salon that works w/ the hallow to hem of the dress. Any suggestions for finding a cute bridal kitten heel (1.5″)?
GREAT SHOES!
I found these navy bad boys: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=150188828639&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI
- but they were to dark for me, so I ended up with a pair of light blue and silver Christian Diors…YUM!
