something blue...

I don't consider myself a totally traditional girl, but when it came to our wedding, I really wanted things done by the book. We didn't do photos beforehand so that Chad saw me for the first time when I came down the aisle, we saved the top tier of our wedding cake to eat on our first anniversary, and obviously, I made sure I was wearing 'something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.'

But my 'something blue' wasn't nearly as pretty as these! I love the idea of incorporating a little bit of color into your wedding outfit with gorgeous shoes -- it's such a perfect way to incorporate a tradition but to make it a little unique and your own! Shoes are probably the wedding-day staple that you're most likely to re-wear, so I love the idea of picking a pair you'll love for years to come (four years later, I haven't gotten around to re-dying my white satin wedding shoes, that I would "totally" dye black after the wedding, sigh).

Also, since I was out of my heels about 2 hours into our reception, I'll tell you that these are AMAZINGLY comfy and you could definitely dance in them! I paired them with a dress I picked up this summer -- I'm still enjoying looser fits that hide my baby bump every once in a while, although I know it's only going to be more of challenge in the next few weeks!
