Because They Make Me Happy

I saw these on sale at TJ Maxx last night for a CRAZY good deal and HAD to have them. I put them on my feet and got the BIGGEST grin on my face. They make me so happy! I am wearing them for my reception. I love them!!!! Just the sight of them makes me smile. :)

Cute Shoes!

I came across a new blog today and saw some flats she had found at Urban Outfitters. I went to the website and found these adorable shoes!




And for someone who is thinking about having their "something blue" be their shoes, check out how cute these are in "Jade"!

But WAIT! Here is the BEST thing about these shoes! They are only...$28!!!! Can you believe it???

I have never bought shoes (or anything else from that matter) from Urban Outfitters. While I'm loving my bridal shoes, I'm thinking it might be wise to have a pair of flats as a back up plan for the reception. And this is a pair I could afford! But give me some feedback - do you have any experience with Urban Outfitters? What do you think about their quality/comfort?

I Found My Shoes!

I have been searching high and low online for shoes to wear with my wedding dress. My fiance is only a few inches taller than me (at best). I don't want to be towering over him, so high heels were out of the question. However, I wanted something of a heel (they do make a girl's figure look better!) I didn't want anything stark white...and so my list of requirements went on and on.

I spotted these in Dillards a few months ago, but never tried them on. Aren't they beautiful?

I couldn't get them out of my head, and through all my searching I never found anything I liked better. My fiance and I went shopping yesterday, and I saw these in Dillards, tried them on and....oooooooh, soooooo comfortable!!! They are like walking on air! And they didn't make me taller than my fiance! That store didn't have them in the right color, but my friend and I went to the mall today and I found them! I am now the proud owner of my wedding shoes!

They were a bit more than I had planned to spend ($90) and of course my Mom's first question was, "They weren't on sale? You didn't have a coupon or anything?" No, I didn't. Oh well. I love them. :) And besides, I had planned to buy flats for the reception, but these are so comfortable, I don't think I will have to! Yay for pretty, comfortable shoes! :)

As you can tell, I'm pretty excited about my shoes. Where did you find your wedding day shoes? How did you know they were the ones for you?

Shoes for My Girls

One of the first questions all my bridesmaids asked me when they got their dress was "What shoes do you want us to wear?" Hmmm. I hadn't really thought a whole lot about it. Look at this fabulous idea:
But I am probably too much of a control freak to let this happen. Then I saw a wonderful photo of bridesmaids in little black dresses like mine and gold shoes. VERY CUTE. (And I wish I could figure out where I saw that picture...)

But in an effort to help out with my girls' budgets (I'm not the only one feeling the stress of unemployment!) I think we will go with black. I keep telling them that I love peep-toe shoes, but I will not be picking an "official" shoe. I'm sure they can do a lot better job (and feel a whole lot more comfortable!) picking their own shoes! Look at this great shoe my bridesmaid Jessica found by Steve Madden - and on sale!

But as my tallest bridesmaid, she is waiting to see which groomsman she gets paired up with so she doesn't tower over them in a shoe like this. :) Three of my seven bridesmaids most likely won't be wearing heels - two for medical reasons, and one because she is 11 and can't walk in heels yet and doesn't want to try. :) I'm thinking something more like this for them:

I think those are just so sweet, but the final choices remain to be seen. What shoes will your bridesmaids be wearing on your wedding day?
