Go for the Bling with Your Wedding Shoes
When it comes to wedding shoes, there are so many options out there. The days of boring bridal shoes {like what I chose for my wedding} are over. One option is to go for the bling with decorated bridal shoes that are handcrafted with beaded flowers, pearls, stones, large crystals, and even organza flowers. You can now take a pair of plain shoes and customize them to your liking for your special day from over 60 different options at BridalShoes.com. Each of the beautiful decorations are carefully attached by hand so you will have a truly custom wedding shoe to wear when celebrating your big day.
Another option for wedding shoes with bling is to have custom crystal heels. I love how this looks and just imagine how great your photos will turn out with all the sparkly "diamonds" or colored crystals peeking out from your wedding dress as you walk down the aisle. Another great photo idea would be to have the crystal embellished heel holding your wedding and engagement ring.

Seeing all these amazing options that are out there now, make me wish I had gone a bit more fancy with my shoes when I married. I knew I needed flats or at the most an inch heel, but the sandals I selected didn't even stay on my feet, so I ended up dancing away in my stockings. I wish I had gone for a fun and fancy pair that I could even wear again to dress up a pair of jeans for a night out because after all, why not wear your bridal shoes again and again? At BridalShoes.com, you have so many choices when it comes to your wedding shoes and in addition to going for the bling, you can even select colored bridal shoes and they all have different heels options from flat to platform.

Wedding Shoes with Hearts : letting the love continue past Valentine's Day

Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and weekend. Our girl had a snow day on Valentine's Day so I made heart shaped waffles with my Babycakes Waffle Maker for lunch and while the little one napped, we had fun decorating heart cookies and making heart paper garland. Since I think we should let the love continue for at least one more day, I have rounded up my favorite wedding shoes with hearts {"What I'm Loving Now}. Many of these can be worn for any occasion, not just weddings, so this means that you can celebrate love any day of the year {as it should be, right?}. Do you have any favorites below?
