Wedding Blog
My most recent shoe find has nearly all the attributes of my ideal wedding footwear: They’re peep toe slingbacks, with a not-too-high (and not-too-short) heel. After first spotting these seemingly perfect shoes at the newly-opened South Jersey Nordstrom, I also learned they’re oh-so comfortable, and not priced out of my budget.
There’s only one thing keeping me from snapping up them up and ending my shoe search.
They’re not just green, they’re GREEN. And the only other available color? Black.
I’ve entertained the idea of bold, bright reception shoes, but if I decide to go that route, I’ll be looking for wedges that incorporate one of our main wedding colors — orange or purple. And for our formal pictures and church ceremony, I definitely want any part of the shoes peeping out from below my gown to be a neutral shade — ivory, silver, champagne, or something similar.
So my practically perfect shoes are staying at Nordstrom, and I’m fighting off the green-eyed monster — wishing these amazing lime heels fit my wedding style, and jealous of the bride who could easily integrate them into her day.
I did manage to snap up another clearance rack pair from DSW, but honestly, they’re not the least bit comfortable, and I purchased them mainly to feel better about my failed shopping outing — and fully intended on returning them once I finalized my footwear.
Stay tuned for the rest of this frustrating shoe situation. (Here’s a preview: There’s a happy ending!)
Are you a colored- or a neutral-shoe bride?

I love those green shoes too!
I spent countless hours on the internet and looking in stores for the perfect turquois peep toes. I FINALLY found them last week on Sears.com! When I got them in the mail, they were even more perfect than I expected! Can’t wait to hear your happy ending!
I am definitely looking forward to wearing bright colored shoes under my dress. Ideally bright red, with the dress long enough so you can see it but for pictures and the party I loove the fact that a part of my personality will be shown!
Colored for sure. I may have to snap up the green ones…
I am definitely a colored-shoe bride! I love how it just pops next to a neutral colored dress.
Ahhhh! How funny! I bought the same green BP shoes from Nordstrom to use for my wedding!
Yes, they do only come in green, purple, balck ,and if I remember correctly, tangerine.
Can’t wait for your shoe reveal!
Bruschetta…thank you for finally posting about these shoes! They are the ones I have been looking for. What size are they? I want them…bad!!!
Green Goddess
My dream d’orsay louboutin’s are about $400 outside of my budget…I bought some knock offs ($34) and had them dyed navy blue ($29). Total savings for shoes I’ll never wear again - $575
I’m looking for shoes exactly like those, and i have been for months now!!! I am so bummed i missed out on the green Nine West Jojus craze. Can you let me know who makes them? If i have to call all the Nordstroms around, i will!
My sister wore those same shoes from Nordstrom in red at her wedding! She loved them and wore them all night, they were that comfortable. The bridesmaids wore the same shoes in black. Have you checked the Nordstrom website? They may have them in other colors.
@Miss Green Goddess: What size are you? I’m sure you could find them at your closest Nordstrom — or have them shipped to you from another location! I hope they work out for you — those green shoes are amazingly comfy (for dress shoes), and SUPER cute (great for post-wedding wear as well!)
@Pingwin: They’re by “Glint” — and yes, check with one Nordstrom, because if the shoes aren’t there, an associate can help you locate them anywhere in the country!
I’ve been looking for lime green pumps for ages! I want these like crazy! Thanks so much for directing me towards Nordstrom!
Oh! they are almost perfect for me. I really want green shoes but am looking for a darker, olive color. I hope stores might have them come fall.
OMG those shoes are gorgeous!! what brand are they? do they have hem online? i looked but didnt find them…. how much are they?
I LOVE the green pumps! Wish I could wear pumps. I have to wear wedges because of the outdoor wedding. I’m wearing champange colored wedges.
I love those bright green shoes! I would love bright shoes, but I had to get a second pair of understated ones—my dress is too thin and whispy for cool colored ones. 
I’ve been looking for colored ones. I’ll be looking for the happy ending next!
ACK! MISS B! THOSE ARE MY WEDDING SHOES! I’m sorry that they dont’ have them in your size. When I was a Nordy’s a few weekends ago they had cute satin peepers (full back though) in all sorts of shades…perhaps you should come to DC and we will shoe shop 
COLORED!! Me and all my BM are wearing HOT PINK heels! You should go with colored it’s very in, young and fresh. But if it’s really not for you then stick with the neutral or a lighter color that fits in your scheme.
I’m doing colored shoes and I can’t wait to get pics with them!!
They have these exact shoes in Orange and the Nordstrom in Chicago. I know because I just bought them in pink. Maybe you could call and have them ship to your Nordstrom. And I agree - these are SO comfortable.
Miss Bruschetta, those are MY wedding shoes!! I’m so glad someone posted about them. They are incredibly comfortable. I plan on wearing a classic peep toe in ivory for the ceremony but am going to rock the green shoes for the reception!
Miss Bruschetta, have you checked out J Crew? They have some very similar “Carmen” heels that come in “Ivory” and “Weathered Stone.” Be sure to look at the “Lyla” and “Augusta” shoes too; they’re more brightly colored or in fun prints but are worth checking out! All of the above are a little more expensive than your clearance pair, but sometimes it’s worth it if it is the perfect shoe and maybe you could find one of them on sale sometime! Best of luck!
Those green shoes are the EXACT shoes I’ve been looking for! Where are they??
Isn’t it weird how uncomfortable that pair of shoes from DSW are?! I was going to get them, too - and one of the main reasons was that they looked comfortable! I couldn’t even walk around in the store in those babies!
I was a colored shoe bride but my something blues had sparklies that were catching the lace on the bottom of my gown. Boo. So now I’m searching for a mid-to-low heel in ivory. Um…can you say impossible??
I was a barefoot bride so that probably doesn’t help. I realize now that its a slightly different shoe, but when I first saw the neutral set, my first thought was - I JUST saw a beautiful photo of those shoes! Well, not exactly the same, but awfully close!
@MightySapphire: I found several options for cute low-heel special occasion shoes on the Nordstrom site. Check it out!
i bought those caparros and am wearing them for my wedding! I though they were really comfortable…hmm
@kylydia: They’re definitely at my local Nordstrom in Cherry Hill…but if you can’t find them near you, maybe have them shipped (no charge!) to you?
@lreighard1: Thanks for the offer — I love shoe shopping — but I found my shoes…stay tuned for a post soon about where/how (plus some shoe porn). 
@Miss Bruschetta: Darn! I was hoping they were an online find, as the closest Nordstrom has to be at least 200 miles away.
@kylydia: Feel free to PM me for more info — the Nordy’s closest to me just opened about a month ago, so they’ve got some different items than most other Nordstrom’s in stock…but they can ship them to you if you know your size!
I have these shoes and let me tell you they are COMFORTABLE! I can run around all day in these puppies and not be in any kind of pain. And the color photographs so well, Mrs. Avocado did a photoshoot for me (http://jennacole.com/blog/2009/04/06/playdate-brooke/) and those shoes look HOT!
I have been looking EVERYWHERE for these shoes! They are no longer online at Nordstrom and I was so sad! If they are a 6.5 where you are, do you think I could buy them off of you? Please let me know…. I would just be the happiest in the world if they were my size!!!!
@Katie: I didn’t purchase them, but if you call the Cherry Hill Nordstrom, they might be able to help you out!
I am back and forth btw white or colored shoes… I really want colored ones, but I don’t know what color and all the shoes I find that I like are white. So, do I stick with white, dye the white ones I like OR keep trying to find colored ones?
@Miss French Bulldog: Hmmm…sounds like a future Miss Frenchie post topic to me!
i have those Victor’s too (in champagne/opal whatever they want to call it) and they’ll be my ceremony shoes. i’m with Latte… i find them very comfy, they just take some breaking in, like all good shoes : )
i’ll be wearing a choco brown for the reception and post party though… i couldn’t decide between being a colored shoe gal or not so i’m doing both
does anyone know if these shoes can be found anywhere online?
ohhh, those are both super cute!!!! I want the green ones in black!!!
@jessie4212: They can’t, but if you call the Cherry Hill Nordstrom’s directly, they should be able to help you out!
Does anyone know the style of this shoe? I’ve done a search online and called my local Nordstrom but they keep coming up with the Addision peep toe and the bow on that one is different. Really need to get over this shoe business - weddings in a month!
@Pingwin: Call the Nordstrom in Cherry Hill — they currently have the shoe in stock (doesn’t it stink how it’s not online?!) and will likely be able to help you out!
Who makes these shoes? these are perfect for what I need GREEN shoes.!!!!
@Pingwin: It starts with a “B”, I think. I called about it but didn’t catch the brand she thought it might be.
I did call the Nordstrom in Cherry Hill - they couldn’t find it apparently even though i desrcibed it to a t. perhaps ill give it another shot and hope i get another salesperson.
What is the name of the style I noticed they do not have them online, I will call my Nordies but I think it would be easier to pinpoint with a style name. Please help I want those!!!!
@TicaChica: Sadly, I didn’t note the style number! But, I’ll recommend you call the Nordstrom in Cherry Hill, which has these still on display…a quick description should lead the associate to the correct shoe, and you to the answer!
OK WILL DO!
@lobstergirl: They’re by Glint, and they’re not online — or at most Nordstrom’s. I’ve been recommending people call the store in Cherry Hill, NJ, where they’re definitely in stock!
OH MAN!! I want, I want, I want!
*grabby hands*
I have been searching for over a year for “chartreuse” shoes within my budget. Like Pingwin, I missed out on the Nine West JoJus, and now these babies pop up and are just amazing, and of course, not available to me as a Canadian gal.
I’ve even tried the dyeable shoe route - and barely anyone carries those up here either.
*sigh*
To any of you girls looking for the green shoes above they are BP Platinum Elightenment in green satin from Nordstrom, about a 3.5 inch heel. I purchased them for my wedding, but had to call the Nordrstrom service center in order to do so, as they no longer sell this particular shoe online. When you call that number, they will begin your order, take all the info they need from you including your payment info. Then they search around all their Nordstrom stores to see if they can locate the color and size you need. If they find it, it will be shipped to you with no shipping cost. If they can’t locate the particular shoe you need, your card will not be charged and I believe they will get in contact with you to try and make some other arrangement if they can. Happy shopping!! :o)
NO WAY!!! Those are my shoes, too! I haven’t had a chance to blog about them, but I was giddy when I bought them! I bought them in Virginia in Dulles Town Center. Great minds…
For the ladies that own these shoes - how would you say they fit? True to size? Half size smaller?
Update! so i had called the cherry hill store before and the woman had no clue what i was talking about. she kept pointing me to a burgundy shoe. i gave it another shot and called again and got a guy who after my description knew exactly what i was talking about. and they had my size so the shoes are on their way!!! thank you so much Miss Bruschetta and all the other ladies for all your help:)
well I am a colored bride but my mother yelled at me and said “who wears colored shoes”…lol… but what momma dont know wont hurt her!!!
@echo: The pair I tried on was true to size — a 6.5, and I’m a 6.5!
Does anyone have a price on the BP shoes? Just wondering before I offer up my CC # over the phone
These are my wedding shoes! The green pair actually DOES come in an orange satin color. I bought the orange one to go with my wedding colors.
Perfect! Thanks so much Miss B! I’m gonna see if I can get a pair shipped up here. Cross your fingers for me
Ms. Pingwin.. what did you call them when you called the store, because they had no idea what I was talking about when I called!
Are they a B.P. “Glint”?
After reading this post I had to call all of the Nordstroms in Illinois until I found a pair! There are not too many left out there! They are 69.95 plus tax 77.12, then $10 shipping. Not bad at all!
@ Katie - they’re definitely BP but the guy didn’t confirm whether they’re “Glint.”If the salesperson had no clue what you were talking about (this happened to me the first time), i would call again and try for another salesperson. I ended up paying also $69.95 but he told me there was no shipping charge…and so far only the price of the shoes is showing up on my cc.
Those are my shoes! I had to have them ordered, as they were sold out at my store, but I just got them yesterday and I love them! The green color is awesome!
I did see them in black, purple, orange and I think brown. There is also a similar pair as a wedge in brown and black!
Success!!! There was one pair left at the Nordstrom in Seattle and they just happened to be in MY SIZE
So they’re being shipped to a friend of a friend, who is coming up to vancouver, BC in the next couple weeks. Woohoo!
Thanks so much to everyone for all the detailed information.
Now let’s hope they fit and look great with my dress 
I just spoke to an agent via live chat at nordstrom, and they are sold out of my size in green
