Red Hot Wedding Day Shoes

Red Hot Wedding Day Shoes

Now that we’ve finally picked out wedding colors, I can start thinking about color details. I absolutely love the emerging trend of wedding shoes in the same hue as one of the wedding’s accent colors. Because deep red is one of our colors, I will be shopping for shoes similar to these:

Wearing fabulous shoes is so me. Not to mention, they’ll make for great photo ops!

How many of you are secretly thinking I’m crazy for wanting to wear stilettos for an outdoor ceremony on grass right now? Well don’t worry, I’ve thought this through! Since Mr. L is 6’2″ and I’m barely 5’6″, wearing flats is completely out of the question for me. I’m wearing sky-high heels and found a way to do it without sinking into the grass on the way down the aisle: heel stoppers!

They come in so many designs, most in clear with crystal embellishments. They make the surface of the heel wider, so you don’t sink into the ground. I love these so much that I’ll be including them in my BMs gift baskets for the bridesmaids’ luncheon, so my girls can wear heels as well during the ceremony! (Ha ha, I just realized that my girls are going to know everything I’m getting/doing for them because of this blog! Oh well!)

Speaking of shoes, I found a cute idea where all the BMs sign the bottoms of the bride’s shoes after the ceremony, so it makes them even more special. I’m definitely going to do that!

Are you wearing colored shoes on your wedding day? What color are they, and where did you find them?

I’m a red shoe bride as well!
I got these:

in red. And I looooove them. They’re maybe not the deep red or the stilettos you’re looking for, but I highly recommend them nonetheless. They’re carried at DSW.

I am on the hunt for green shoes. I love the idea of having shoes in my accent color, which will also be the color of the groom’s tie!! I have had some trouble finding the shoes, so I will have to have them dyed!

I am indeed wearing colored heels. Bright pink to be exact! I’m also having an outdoor ceremony, but I have boat-sized feet (sz 10), so wedges just aren’t going to happen. Instead I’m sporting a 3.5 inch heel, despite being 5′9. I just ordered my shoes online, and they’re on back order :(. Fortunately, its early enough that its no biggie. Yay for the colored heels!!

I’m totally wearing colored shoes I just have to decide which color - orange or fuchsia. I’m excited to find some, but haven’t started my search yet!

Oooh la la that first pair is hot. And I should be a good judge of shoe character, as I am Miss Stiletto

I’ve never heard of heel stoppers, but what a fabulous idea for all outdoor ceremony brides. Awesome!

I am having an issue with shoes right now too! Again, outdoor ceremony…worrying about sinkage.

Have you used these? I am still not convinced that they will actually work and I’ll be aerating the aisle…

i LOVE colored shoes….i’m really really hoping my dress, in my size, is long enough for me to wear the 4 inch hot pink loubs i’ve been lusting after for my entire engagement.

and yes, my mother still doesn’t get why i’m not wearing white shoes….::sigh::

I’m with you Miss Labrador! I’m 5′3 and my fiancee is 6′3 so I always wear heels! I’m thinking about wearing blue (I’m definitely choosing an accent color) and the heel stoppers are a must! I’m mad I didn’t think to invent these!

I am also wearing heels even though we’re having an outdoor ceremony. FI is 6′0 and I’m a measly 5′3″. I need the added height!

Mine are red Valentinos with the same bow and peep toe detail as the first pair in your post (I believe that first pair are Valentino’s, too), except they’re slingbacks not d’orsays.

That pair is awesome!

I am planning on wearing deep red shoes as well, to coordinate with the colors. My heel probably won’t be that high though. However, I do love the heel stoppers!

Okay. Seriously. Miss Lab, You are a girl after my heart!
We both love JH Bridal, the whole football thing AND we are both having red heels! I’m going for Jimmy Choos; I haven’t found THE pair yet but JC are my wedding splurge!
I was going to be crazy enough to wear heels on grass and just equip my MOH with cleaning wipes. Hehe. I have to look into those heel stoppers now!

I’m definitely a heel girl - my FI is 6′1 and I’m a paltry 5′2! Mine are pink Nina’s that I found on endless.com but got for even cheaper through Amazon (which is strange b/c endless is a branch of Amazon, but go figure)! I’ve never heard of heel stoppers and I’ll definitely need them during our photo shoots - thanks for the heads up!!

Ya know, I remember hearing about a Turkish(?) tradition in which the single ladies sign the bottom of the bride’s shoes. The one whose name wears off the most will get married next.

LOVE that first pair! Did you see the idea of the BM signing the shoes online? Can you post the link?

Like pp mentioned, they are my wedding splurge!

I’ve heard that after all of the bridesmaids (or single girlfriends) sign the shoes, the one who’s name fades the most at the end of the night is the next one to get married!

Being a red-shoe bride myself, I thought I would share a picture as to how AWESOME they look in pictures:

I recommend hunting on these major holiday weekend sales - I found mine on July 4th weekend for our October wedding. Good luck!

I LOVE that first pair! Like jc4evaluv, I’m 5′2″ and FH is 6′1″ so I am also wearing heels. Since Yellow is one of our wedding colors, I wanted to find a pair of yellow pumps… I realized last weekend that I already have a pair of yellow pumps that are SUPER comfy!
Since our ceremony is also on grass my mom bought me something similar so I don’t sink in
