Anyways.... Never one to really get into shoes.. I mean in the sense of buying them, loving them, cooing over the next Louboutin or ... see there, can name one shoe designer off the top of my head - says it all... oh Jimmy Choo (there’s two .. proud of myself).
When it comes to deciding on wedding shoes I really am not fussed at all.. I can hear brides wincing somewhere at this statement.
BUT really they are hidden under your dress all day, are not really the focal point of the whole day and will only probably restrict your day if anything.
So with this thought in mind, I have gone from thinking of wearing my slippers, converse, ballet pumps or my number one choice my Uggs.
I suppose though this really is not appropriate and with my mother already cursing the VW camper van idea, I think rocking up in my slippers would turn her head.
In other matters my father who has always stated his height as 5ft 10 - has either severely shrunk or never been that size to start with. As standing next to him there is not much difference ( I’m 5ft 7), he too has had his say on the shoe issue.
"You bloody better not be wearing high shoes on the day, or you can walk yourself down that aisle"
This is of course because he would look like a dwarf. Don't worry this is a word he used himself after my graduation pictures arrived when he stupidly stood by my brother who at nearly 6ft 4 - fatal mistake.
He needed one of those boxes they give Tom Cruise to make him look taller than his love interest or those Cuban heels that Robert Downey Jr wears to again increase his height.
He did also state clearly the same applied to my bridesmaids… he also enquired their height … luckily none were taller than him, as surely that only means legs would be chopped. However I do feel the bridesmaids need heels, I will just be careful to where daddio stands in all photos / throughout the day.
So not only am I not fussed over shoes I have now been warned against any height to make my dad look small... and I suppose since he is the main wedding bank - I shall of course respect his wishes!
So I am on the hunt for either kitten heels or flat satin pumps... Is this such a bride crime, one that I must be punished for ... You can be the judge of that.
I feel that this is such a sensible idea ... especially when I am dancing still at 1am when other fellow invitee's will be sat rubbing their soles (eewww smelly sweaty dance feet)
If anyone knows of anywhere please do comment ... so I can purchase without harming any other brides or the wedding industries feelings in the process.
Speak Soon
