About Me: I enjoy people watching (especially in New Jersey malls), obsessive collecting, drooling over contemporary art, browsing flea markets for vintage finds and eating an absurd amount of cheese. In my Philadelphia abode, I create mixed media artwork and one-of-a-kind home accessories in the company of my farmer-tanned fiancé, our Westiepoo (Betty White), our three rabbits (Cadbury, Willie Nelson and Applesauce) and our two frisky chinchillas (Ethel Funk and Maude).
Do the Bunny Hop!
May 22nd, 2008 @ 12:25 pm by Miss Candy Corn
I think I found my dream wedding shoes. So far, everyone I’ve shown these to has giggled at the idea of me wearing these as my wedding shoes, but I just can’t help myself. Luckily for the bunny haters out there, I can’t find them in my size (7.5). Boo!
So, I’m asking the great Weddingbee readers out there to comment with their shoe suggestions! I definitely want to wear flats (the only reason I was considering the wedge was because of the adorable bunny goodness), but I’m pretty much open to suggestions on color & styles. Just to refresh your memory, our colors are blues & browns, so it would probably make sense if I got a pair in that realm (or an ivory).
If I could afford them, I would totally splurge on Marc Jacob’s mouse shoes, because I’m 9-years-old at heart:
But alas, I am more of a Target kinda girl, so I’ll have to keep dreaming.To give you an idea of my sense of style, here are some shoes that I’ve been drooling over, but simply can’t afford (I’d like to spend under $100 for the shoesies):

Thanks in advance for your help and don’t judge me too harshly for my poor taste in bunny footwear!

Knowing your love for bunnies, I think the bunnies shoes are GREAT! So sorry they don’t have them in your size.
I’m partial to the flat second from the bottom.
Ahhh!!! Bunnies… so cute! 
I tried to do a quick search for you… but like you I came up pretty empty. HOWEVER, I did notice Nordstrom did sell them online at one point, which means you might be able to go to a store and have them track down a pair for you. I’ve done that 2x at Nordstrom - with success!
I LOVE the bunny shoes! Pish posh do the nay sayers. Seriously, how cute would those shoes look peaking out of your super great dress? Plus, didn’t you save on the dress? Maybe you could splurge on the shoes, if you could ever find your size. The cute-non-matching blue pair are great too.
Haha! Those are cute, though I can’t imagine wearing them for my wedding! I also wanted to wear flats, so I got some really cheap dark red satin ballet pumps. They are too cute! And they go with my BM dresses, not to mention being my own personal ruby slippers (makes sense when you know how much I loooove Judy Garland!)
Dude, those Marc Jacobs mouse shoes are totally on sale for right at $100 on ebay and they have 7.5…..
(I would be smiling all day to myself if i knew i was wearing mouse shoes under my dress. I think it sounds awesome)
I found some satin flats at the Diesel outlet this past weekend for my “second” reception shoe. Mine are white and pink but I found them with blue flowers on Zappos. They are soooo comfy but they do have a tiny-tiny rubber sole, if that does not bother you I totally try them out. The name: Diesel Martha W - listed as $70 on Zappos but I purchased mine for 30, so you might be able to find the blue ones on sale somewhere.
I love the bunny shoes! Another idea–ballet slippers. Super comfy, flat, and cute
ps. I like the bunnies.
they only have a few sizes left but luckily still have 7.5!
these are really cute and on sale for $60!

have you already seen these?
I was just at Target last night and they actually have flats that are very similar to your 3rd and 5th options. I think they had them in a copper, a rose gold color and maybe a silver? I already looked online and they aren’t there, but maybe your local Target has them!
I love how many opportunites wb gives me to go virtual shoe shopping– even if someone else ends up with the loot!
One quick question, what shades of blue and brown are you working with?
Another possibility, if you are willing to go a little over-budget, is having your shoes hand-painted. This is what I did for my wedding last year using the wonderful services of CLP Studio ( http://www.clpstudio.com ).
The shoes pictured on her site are mostly casual, but she did a gorgeous job on my pointy-toed retro-style shoes as well. She did mine from a photograph, but I’m pretty sure she could put whatever you wanted onto footwear. And Cindy, the artist, is a total doll to work with. PM me if you’d like me to email you some pics of my shoes.
I love the bunnies! My colors are blue/brown also, and we’re going for a slight retrio/vintage vibe. Here are my shoes: http://www.endless.com/dp/B0012ONL5E?tag=dealtime-endless-20&linkCode=asn
I got the bone/black color combo. They look like wingtips for women and they’re pretty darn comfortable. They run big. I’m a 6.5-7, and I ordered the 6.5 and they’re still roomy. And just under $40, too!
I love the bunny shoes. I wished I could get them myself. Soooo ADORABLE!
I was at Nordstroms yesterday and they are having a 40% off sale and I saw those Marc Jacob shoes! You should go check it out!
I got my wedding shoes, ballet flats at kohl’s for under $20. that was last year but I bet they have some great patterns this year too! good luck.
It’s shame you can’t find those cute bunny shoes in your size. They are to die for!
I just googled the mouse and there is a curly tail stitched on the heel. Too cute!
@Miss Toucan:
ohhhhhhh, I’m so stalking Nordstroms. Thanks for the tip!
@Lozza:
Oooooooh, very tempting!
@Eileen:
Someone is totally going to Nordstrom’s on her lunch break tomorrow, and by someone I mean meeeeee!!!
@sarahbe:
Those are really cute, thanks for the suggestion!
@Leticia:
Oooooooh I love these but black doesn’t really go with my dress. I’m tempted to paint those navy hehehe. SO CUTE.
@Miss Gingerbread:
I tried, with no luck. Perhaps I should just keep searching. I have until October, afterall!
@beanchar:
Ooooooo very cool. I’ve painted shoes in the past, so I’m half-tempted to paint my own for the wedding and do something cute.
@gir:
During my shoe shopping yesterday I was thinking to myself how there should be more wingtipped shoes for gals. This is geniiiiiius.
@katherine:
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll be sure to stop by Kohl’s soon!
Could you buy a simple, plain pair of flats and have a talented friend decorate them for you, like drawing on the doves with a fabric-safe pen? I bet you could find a local person through Etsy to do it for you.
@CarolineG:
I think I may just do them myself and be a crafty nerd Good idea girlie!
The Marc Jacobs are also on sale at Bloomingdales!
second from bottom to top.
Oh. my. god. My jaw dropped when I saw the bunny shoes!!! Talk about coordinating your accessories! 
BTW, all 4 of those Anthropologie shoes were on my list, but I need a little more heel. 
I’d bid on the ebay ones since you could always return the Nordstrom pair if you found them in your size - have you discovered Auction Sniper? My new (oh-so-bad) best friend…
Miss Candy Corn - why not just contact the seller directly? They have a search function on their site to see if there’s a retailer near you, or perhaps you could order direct from them? Just a thought…
If you wear 7.5 you may be able to fit in the largest kids size of these (a kids 6 which is about 1.5-2 sizes smaller then women’s sizes.) They only come in pink, black and white though, but they are almost identical to the second to last pair you posted if you are up for pink!
Chinese Laundry has really cute flats & everything else.. but no bunny shoes =/
cute idea though!
Shannon - oooppppsss- I mean Miss Candy Corn,
You totally have to find the bunny shoes in any size and just stuff the toes with tons of fluffy cotton balls. Love, Mommy Candy Corn
