Custom Wedding Shoes

We are busy little bees as of late here at Tricia Huddas & Co. with lots to blog about, but nary a free block of time to give any of it justice. I hate to just swipe something from another blog and write a post about it, but even with all of the other things going on in my head recently, I can't get these shoes out of my head!!

I was mindlessly scrolling through my google reader when I saw this Weddingbee Pro Post by Chelsea Petaja of Oh My Deer. She is an accessories designer whose work I had only seen in the hair accessory genre until I stumbled up this fantastic footwear!

Let's be honest, the bridal blogs are giving some serious attention to dreamy, accessorized, designer shoes (guilty, who can help it, they're so pretty); but can most brides afford an $800 pair of shoes? No, not even as a "splurge." Chelsea has given us a great way to get the look without the loot. Thanks!

By the way, I think that custom shoes would be the best bridesmaid gift a girl could receive...get your girls the same shoes and have Chelsea create a different look for each maid!

Stay tuned this week for discounted wedding stationery and the introduction of a new guest blogger.

If the shoe fits...

...plan around it!

One of my new brides has chosen the fall wedding color palette for her big day based on the shoes that she is wearing. Not the other way around. And can you blame her?

Are you a Shoe Gal?

One of my guilty pleasures in life is shoes, and what better a reason for a fabulous new pair of shoes than your wedding day? Today’s wedding shoes are not just white or ivory – brides are using their shoes as an opportunity to continue their color theme, play off of the Something Blue or they just want a great shoe that they can wear again. A good quality shoe can be an investment and your wedding day is just the day to spoil yourself with such an investment. There is nothing like slipping on a brand new pair of heels, and now-a- days your bridal shoes are a great way to show off your personality.

Here are some great examples of some Splurges:
