I have had a dilemma pressing on my mind since I bought my wedding dress three months ago. Shoes. I am 5'10 and my fiance is 6'0. This would not be a problem except for the fact that I absolutely adore heels. And not just a little two inch heels but stiletto, four or five inch heels. Brandon, my beloved, has sweetly told me if I want to wear heels he is man enough to be slightly shorter. Normally, this is not a problem for me. BUT on my wedding day I want there to be a definite height difference. Unfortunately this means I must wear flats. Plus the fact that I already had to add extra length to my bridal gown,(if I had wanted to wear heels I would have had to add extra EXTRA length to my gown), it has been decided that I will wear flats.
Problem: It seems to me that all bridal flats have a little casual bow on the front, look like old women's shoes, or are just plain... plain.
When my sister got married in July, I remembered that she had the same dilemma so I decided to start shopping early. I am glad I did. I still haven't found anything...
I don't want anything cutesy, I want a sophisticated shoe that will complement my lace gown. Is that too much to ask??
If I ever find any options there will be another post on shoe possibilities. For now, that is my bridal show rant.
Soooooo....have ya found the perfect pair of sophisticated flats? As crafty as your Barfields are, I bet you could turn a plain jane pair into something really classy! Can't wait to see what you find. :-)
ReplyDeleteI do agree, though, about wanting your man to look taller/be taller on your wedding day. :-) I felt the same way! Kathy Locke (P.S. I have no idea how to comment as anyone but anonymous...) :-)
I did! See my newest post for pics of my shoes.
