Feet Fit for Our Fête

March 1st, 2010 @ 4:37 pm by Mrs. Scissors

(I couldn’t resist.)

Early on, I fell in love with photos of brides in fabulous shoes next to grooms in ridiculous socks. It has made me a supreme lover of shoe shots. If you remember, I even managed to get some shoe-shot-love out of our engagement shoot.

Since we already have my awesome shoes on lock-down, it’s about time to start looking for some rockin’ socks for Mr. Scissors. An hour-or-so of piddling around the internet proved to be quite fruitful, as I found some pretty neat-looking stuff.

First, from Happy Socks

Perhaps some of these Happy Socks socks might border on being a little effeminate, or so sayeth Mr. S, but I think there are some pretty awesome and possible ones in the bunch. For anyone that’s curious, all of these range from $10-$15.

On Fred Flare, I found this interesting pair for $12…

OK, so I will be the first to admit that I totally and 100% mocked the mustaches-at-weddings trend, but I have softened. There’s a possibility that I might like it a little bit now. To be perfectly honest, I still don’t understand it, but damned if I don’t like these socks. Wedding world, you’ve taken another victim! Count Mr. Scissors in with that as well, because he likes them and thinks that they’re “funny”.

Sock It To Me had a few cool socks, albeit with annoying-as-hell watermarks over the top of the images.

The first ones have robots on them, which are totally appropriate for Mr. Scissors given that that’s what he does, y’alls. The second pair are supposed to be an homage to Tetris, and the third pair just have some awesome PEW PEW lightning bolts on them. All of these are $7.50.

These socks by Ashidashi were an accidental find while looking for Nintendo socks, and I must say, they are pretty dang cool.

While all of these are ridiculously cool, I think that the last row contain the two most Mister-Scissors-fitting socks. The bottom left pair are of Super Mario tubes, and the other ones have half of a heart on each foot. When you put the two feet together, there is a whole heart! SORT OF LIKE HOW MY SHOES SPELL OUT LOVE!

*Ahem* So those might not show up in the shoe shots, but it’s a pretty cool concept, given MY AWESOME SHOES. (I really need to pull myself together).

Well, there you have my way-overboard-and-excessively-comprehensive run-down of possible choices for Mr. Scissors’ (sure to be) awesome-sauce wedding socks. I hope I haven’t broken your internets with the sheer number of socks and huge attack of cheesy-cool.

Any favorites or standouts? Who else is going to go the crazy-sock-route for or with their groom? Stand up, fellow sock-and-shoe-shot lovers!

Haha so I thought I’d obsessed about every possible detail of my wedding, but my groom’s sock is one thing that has yet to cross my mind. These are so fun!

@Miss Sewing: Those are simultaneously really awesome and really scary. :p They make me want to go watch old “Land Shark” skits.

@Miss Pretzel: Oh, me too. Part of me wants to order several pair and have him change out. Poor Mr. S. :p

I am so all over the funky socks. I could only convince Mr. Spaniel of argyle, though. I sort of wished we could have found paisley. ;)

@tea: Yep. Corn socks. If you pair them with the meat socks, you’d have a meal. :p

@Miss Hamster: They would go great with some of Miss Cola’s bacon envelopes. :)

@Mrs. Beagle: The whales are awesome, but Mr. S wasn’t keen on having whales on his feet for some reason. Boys.
