I am that girl who wears heels every day. This is not a career obligation, nor is it an attempt to make up for a small stature – I am 5’9″ after all. No, I just love heels, and I always have. I’m a pro at walking in them, as I’ve been doing so ever since the sixth grade, when I would stash a pair in my backpack to swap with whatever shoes I wore out of the house. I’ve tried to reform my ways, even going shoe shopping for “practical shoes” to wear in the snow. But somehow, I always end up with more heels. So when we decided to have our wedding outside, my first thought was of my shoes.

I have become very familiar with the act of aerating a lawn – not purposefully, but the moment I step onto a patch of grass, my stiletto sinks right down into the soil. If I were to wear my shoe of choice at our wedding, my graceful walk down the aisle could easily turn into a clumsy stumble. The solution? Wedges.

I just adore the look of a bride in boots, and as a Texas-born cowgirl at heart, planning a wedding in a barn, how could I not wear a pair of boots beneath my dress?

I really can’t be blamed for my multiple pairs of shoes – this is what happens to a heel-repressed, shoe-obsessed bride. I guess if the weather’s bad, the boots will come on. And maybe the flats at the end of the reception? I love them all!

Did you end up with multiple pairs of shoes for your wedding? How did you decide which pair to wear?
