Shoes

I have a confession.  I love shoes.  I mean, I really love shoes.  I live my life in tennis shoes because my arches fall if I wear anything else, but I think a nice pair of heels (feminist concerns aside) are a work of art.  There are a ton of great options that work with a wedding dress, too.

The standard embellished white shoe (admittedly for one-time use):

Bow shoe clips (in Prussian blue?!):

 Shiny shoes:

 Lace shoes:

Oxford or Victorian booties: 

Hand painted shoes:

Mink and bow trimmed (I love these!):

And, the now-standard blue (or red) shoes, which add a little color and photograph well:

Notice that every one of those were heels.  All the wedding websites (wedsites?) recommend three pairs of shoes for your wedding day: heels for your ceremony, boots in case it rains or snows in transit, and flats for when your feet are tired but you want to dance.  I have found boots that I like, but attractive flats are few and far between.  I gave up on wearing heels a while back, and I would prefer to be (appropriately) the same height as Lance on our wedding day, so I'd really like to find some attractive flats.  Most flats are uninspiring, though.  These are the best I've found:

They're cute because they look like they're wearing little tiaras, but they don't appear to be well-constructed and they are pricey.  They're also dyable, but I don't trust that process.  At this rate, I'm thinking of buying a fur (or paint, or rhinestones) and some comfortable flats and making my own!
