I'm wearing glittery Kate Spade Keds. I wasn't opposed to wearing heels for the ceremony, but I know I won't want to wear them all night and I don't want to hem my dress for heels and then drag it around in flats for the reception.
I'm wearing custom converse that will be primarily white with green stitching and eyelets since green is our wedding color. They will also have our date printed on the heel. I chose them because they're comfy and can easily be worn all day and I love converse and wear them a lot so ti fit my style.
These are my shoes! They are Blue by Betsey Johnson, I got them at Macy's. I went with them because they are a low heel. I wore them all day (11am - 11pm), I never took them off.
I got these shoes from White House Black Market. I knew I wanted a colored shoe that I could wear again. We're having a late winter wedding and using burgundy and navy as our wedding colors. I'm planning to wear them all night.
These are my shoes. I definitely wanted flats because H and I are the same height and I didn't want to be either hunched over or towering over him in photos. I decided to look for a more Oxford style shoe because sometimes regular flats can rub my heel raw and I didn't want to have to worry about that. I don't remember what website I bought them from but I wouldn't recommend it anyway because after I ordered them and they took forever to arrive I looked up reviews of the site and it had pretty negative ones. Luckily my shoes were in good condition and didn't break like some other people's.

I did also make them a little darker than they originally were using shoe polish.
If you're looking for a place to look I'd suggest DSW. The first pair of shoes I got was from there but they were just a little too narrow for my feet so I had to return them. But they had a lot of nice options at various price points.
I wore a pair of red pumps. I wore red ones to honor my grandma who passed away, red was her favorite color. I chose them because they would be comfortable enough to wear through the reception and I did not want to change shoes. I'm a bigger gal so finding shoes that will work for me is really hard when they have heels. I found them at a thrift store, pretty much the same place I found all of our wedding attire. I also wanted something I could re-wear.
My dress has a blush undertone so I went with these shoes from Betsey Johnson. Also, I can wear them again if I wanted to!

And because we'll be at Hawaii I wanted to get some new sandals that would go with my dress / wedding vibe. David's Bridal has a buy one/second 50% off right now so I got both shoes from them.
I got mine off of Amazon because one of my gifts was the Amazon Gift Cards- They go with my dress and is a short heel. I love that it had our wedding incorporate in it which was the rhinestones and royal blue with the last name.
At the reception I had switched to Yoga Flats and had one of my Matron of Honors bling them out with rhinestones and pearls. The flats was royal blue as well.
The worst thing ever is uncomfortable shoes. So, right from the start I planned to wear flat, open, comfy shoes that I don't want to ditch as soon as I get them on.
Don't get me wrong, I love pretty shoes, and heels, etc. But knowing I'm going to be on my feet most of the day means I need to be comfortable--or nobody will be happy!
So my plan is to wear flat sandals. It will be hot too, so I want to stay cool!
