I loved my wedding shoes. {The Nine West Jojus in apple green.} It seems other brides-to-be do, too–I've had half a dozen inquires about where to find them or to see if I still the extras I purchased for sale. Sadly, I sold both pairs and plan to hang onto mine. However, I'm always on the lookout for beautiful green heels.
I found my pair on Overstock.com after seeing them in a real wedding featured on The Brides' Cafe. They were so comfortable–for a heel–and were a close–but inexpensive–match to the feathered Christian Louboutins {shown below} I lusted for featured on Style Me Pretty. I honestly didn't take them off until we left the reception and went back to our hotel room.
If you loved either of those green shoes, prepare to fall in love. J. Crew recently introduced the La Plume Satin Peep Toes from J. Crew. These are a fabulous take on the Louboutins, but without the ankle strap, which to me is a welcome change. Ankle straps can be so uncomfortable!
They are smidge pricey at $385, but still a steal compared to the $700+ price tag of the Louboutins. I love colored shoes with wedding gowns. It is a trend I hope becomes a classic. Are you wearing colored shoes? If so, in what shade?

So glad you're back! Love the J.Crew shoes - so fun!
I'm wearing red Kate Spade's. Fell in love with them as soon as I saw them in blue.

These shoes are terrific! A great way to add a splash of color to your wedding attire.

These shoes are FABULOUS! So touched by your comment---I'm relieved I'm not the first one that feels a bit lost with the whole registering process! It's so daunting! Glad to hear you like the Maison. I've yet to see it in person so it helps to know a woman of great taste like yourself has it as well and approves. Do keep in touch!

I love the apple green shoes shown first. I am not a big fan of ankle straps either. I do like the shoes though.

Sometimes the most difficult thing is to find that unusual color that goes hand in hand with a uniquely colored gown. Of course, dying shoes has always been an option, but from the look of these shoes, no dye on earth could match that color. WOW!

Our journey has begun!… secretly though
If I’ve left you this message, you’re a follower of my original blog ~OR~ just someone I’ve happened upon while sending out these invites and that I would LOVE for to come along for the ride! Though I won’t be revealing who I am just yet – until we’re TO and THROUGH the first trimester! Just getting the word out about our new site – further explanation of all the secrecy and what we’re about on my first post. I’d love for you to stop by.
Exciting things going on around here!

Oh I love the shoes too. I think it is not expensive though.

got your comment - about the pillows - try having them custom made. if not - buy TWO and encase them into one. you need a lot of down to make them look great.
hpoe this helps!!!! your blog is beautiful.

Those shoes are stunning!

Wow it seems like we have a trend on our hands... In the past few months I have had brides in blue, pink, red, green, tan and even yellow shoes! I have to say I love the boldness and individuality that coloured shoes gives a bride.

Among those people that appear in our life, some are to teach us, some to comfortus, some to share and some to love.
