If the Shoe Fits...

Since I will have my first fitting next Saturday for my dress, I called to ask what all I should bring with me. Naomi at Blush Couture said any undergarments (a la Spanx, which I'm sure will become my best friend) and my shoes. My shoes...oh my God, I hadn't really even thought about shoes. Luckily, Mom Hydrangea and I were out on a shopping excursion for wedding things this past weekend, so off we went to look at shoes.

In my previous post I mentioned the pin that I will be wearing in my hair the day of the wedding. It is a beautiful sapphire and diamond heirloom piece that I have admired since I was a little girl. To tie this in, I really wanted navy shoes to go with my dress. I figured it would be no big deal, but Mom H and I had the HARDEST time finding navy blue shoes that looked appropriate for my dress.

After searching all over the mall, we went into Barney's and I fell in love with an amazing pair of navy blue shoes. Mind you, these were the ONLY contenders we had found all day. Mom H told me to try them on, but we'd probably hold off on purchasing them. After I put them on, and Mom H thought about it a little more, she caved (mainly because she saw how hard this shoe shopping excursion was and didn't want to have to do it again) and we got them.

So now...the pièce de résistance -

Was shoe shopping as hard for you all as it was for me?? Especially for something that people might not even see the day of your wedding!
