Every wedding I see lately online, the bride is wearing the most incredible pair of heels it makes me swoon, so when it came to looking for shoes to wear with my own gown, I immediately started shopping around online, you won’t believe the shoes I’ve almost bought!

Then my mom encouraged me to be realistic.  These would be shoes that I would be wearing/standing in for 8+ hours.  Was I willing to spend almost as much as my gown cost on a pair of shoes, which let’s be honest, people won’t even see under said gown??

I have back problems and am in pain on the best of days, therefore, I listened to my mom and started to look at something more along the lines of a ballet flat.  I bought one pair, that were really cute and brightly coloured, but they were missing something, which is how I ended up buying a second pair this past weekend.  Which will I wear on the big day?  That is yet to be decided, I’ll probably end up in flip-flops by the end of the night regardless of which I choose.
