The most backward thing I have done in terms of planning thus far is that I ordered my wedding shoes just days after I got engaged. Your wedding shoes are probably one of the things you get when you are a few months out, so I was insanely early on this one!
I had been eyeing the Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps for ages. They are so expensive and I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much (on satin shoes) for no reason.
Well, I ordered them and they are the PERFECT wedding shoe. Not the most original, I know this has done a million times before- but for good reason. They are just so stunning and a classic! I'm not typically a 'sparkle' type of girl but the square broch is just so gorgeous in low light!
I ended up going with the 'flesh satin' 70mm pumps. This was because I wanted to be able to wear them with outfits leading up to the wedding as well as after the wedding. White just felt too bridal and black or navy felt too dark- although literally, every color is gorgeous. I especially love the emerald.
I was between the flats and the pumps and quite honestly, once I tried on the heels, I was sold. The flats just didn't do anything to wow me and the pumps looked spectacular. I went with the mid-heel (they have a 105mm higher pump and a 57mm kitten heel) because I knew I would want to wear them my entire wedding so I wanted to be comfortable.
I was actually really glad I had them way earlier than I needed because it was nice to try on wedding dresses with the shoes! I have also already worn them to my engagement party!
If you are curious about sizing, they run true to size. I usually wear a 39 in designer shoes. The 39 fit me perfectly. The only reason I sized up to a 39.5 is so that I could fit an insert inside the shoe for added comfort (since I'll be wearing them all day/night on my actual wedding day). They're actually quite comfortable but whenever my feet hurt, I am miserable so I just wanted to cover all of my bases on this one!
My back up shoes will be monogrammed Jack Rogers with my new married monogram! I had a pair of monogrammed Jacks years ago and loved them and I wear Jack Rogers daily in the warm months so these will be fun to have and wear on our honeymoon, too! Not ordering those for a long while ;).
