After deciding that maybe I wasn’t a colored-shoe bride after all, I switched to looking at ivory shoes.

One of the first things my MOH (maid of honor) Sister did when I had found my dress was send me a picture of these:

While I thought these were beautiful, I had put them out of my mind since I was stuck on having blue shoes. I went back to the site to take a look, and they were sold out of the 7.5 size. I signed up to be notified when they were back in stock and went on my way.

After some time on Zappos, I decided to purchase four pairs of shoes to take with me to try on the dress one more time before committing to buy.

I was a bad blogger and didn’t take any pictures when the shoes arrived, so I apologize for that.

I had loved the Jeanette and Elke in the blue, so I was happy to order them in the lighter colors. Elke was gorgeous but not at all comfortable. The heel was a little too high for me, and I could tell I wouldn’t last long in them.

Jeanette was super comfortable! I adored these shoes, but the color was all wrong. They don’t come in an ivory, so I ordered them in champagne and they are a much deeper color than what the picture shows—almost a mocha color.

The Zoies were really beautiful and the sparkle on the toe had a snowflake feel to it, which I loved. HOWEVER—the arch on these babies was ridiculous! It was so steep I couldn’t even stand up in them! My toes just refused to bend that much.

The Shandas were very comfortable, and I really liked the feel and look of them. They were a smidge too loose, and they just didn’t do much for me when I put them against the dress.

Thanks to Zappos’ amazing return policy and free shipping, I sent these four on their way back.

There is a happy ending to this tale! Stay tuned for Part III.
