Oh, the Shoes!

I started off looking for pale gray-blue shoes in luxurious satin with a low heel and some kind of embellishment — like shoes that I fell in love with from a 2005 issue of MSW, but with a lower heel. That was, of course, entirely too many requirements for a shoe. My mom suggested shoe clips, which got me started looking for brooches on Etsy, and I found these gorgeous flowers with pearl cluster centers. I’m working with the talented designer to make some custom ones with blue petals and pearl centers. I also ordered a pair of white pleated satin D’Orso heels from Zappos, and they seem plenty comfortable enough for the ceremony and photos (after which I’ll slip into some ballet flats for dancing the night away). One more thing to check off my list: shoes!
