The Tipsy Wedding Project: Bride’s Shoes

May 26, 2010 by

Today’s installment of The Tipsy Wedding Project is Christen’s shoes. While we know what Christen’s dress looks like, she would rather we didn’t post it here because a certain person she is going to marry has been following along and we don’t want to ruin it for him. (I’m talking to you Ed). So anyway, here are our recommendations for Christen and a few for Ed himself. See any trends? 🙂

  1. AK-My inspiration came from the fact that we found out Christen loves the color orange, that she is having a fall wedding and the fact that Der did this shoe/sock idea for her wedding and it was UH-DOOR-UH-BULL. So this is the vision. Here is my suggestion (dyeing orange obvs)
  2. Sarah-I LOVE the idea of having a fun, yet classy, shoe underneath the traditional wedding attire. Since orange is her favorite color, I thought these were both perfect, affordable, AND would be go great with the fall wedding colors! (I also wouldn’t be opposed to Christen’s hubby to-be to wear some cool orange socks…Der did this at her wedding and it made for an awesome photo op…just sayin’…)
  3. Der-These are cute and orange and would totally be reusable later on with a par-TAY dress! I did apple green shoes under my wedding dress, but they were dyed and therefore unable to be worn in wet conditions.. BOO!!  and her groom could wear these.
  4. Court-I love these shoes.  Her dress, which has lace is beautiful, but I didnt want to much frill on the shoes. I think these peep toes are a great accent, plus they are navy which satisfies two things–her man to be fav color and her something blue requirement.

Purple People Eater

May 20, 2010 by

I have never really been a pink type of girl. I like pink, but I don’t LOVE pink. When I was little, my favorite color was purple. I wanted purple everything. My first car was even purple (no idea what I was thinking) So, purple is still near and dear to my heart. Purple looks great accented with oranges or greens and my personal fav turquoise!

The Tipsy Wedding Project: Shoes

May 19, 2010 by

Next up on the Tipsy Wedding Project front is SHOES!  Bridesmaid shoes that is… Something each of us hold near and dear.   Christen is having two maids of honor and they are wearing two different dresses, both in Truffle.  Here is one.  Here is the other.  So here goes with our shoe suggestions….

  1. Sarah-I would choose either the yellow or red shoe to wear with the bridesmaids dresses. These are fun, sassy, and tie into the fall colors nicely.
  2. Court-I love Nina shoes.  I go to them for almost every semi formal/formal occasion as I feel they make an elegant statement but are simple enough you can re-use if you wanted.These peep toe with the bow aren’t over the top, but will give a fun touch to each of the maids dresses.   I would go for the GOLD color, literally, but she mentioned her hubby to be loved navy.  Wouldn’t that be a cute combo of color?  The navy shoes?
  3. Der-I wore these exact same shoes (in cosmic dust) to my rehearsal dinner and let me tell you… the most comfortable shoes EVER. I could literally run a 5k in these heels. The price tag isn’t too bad and they are cute too! I clipped on a hair flower to the center of the toes for extra flair, so that could be an option as well.
  4. AK-I’m going to say go with a basic brown and then play up your fall colors in the jewelry the girls wear but we’ll get to the jewelry in a later post.

Tell us your fav!

Have A Havaianas

April 20, 2010 by

These, my friends, are my favorite flip flops ever, Havaianas.  I have worn them for years and I have never had a pair break or wear out or anything.  I have several colors and I also have a camo version which don’t look to be available anymore.  I do believe my feet are calling for the peacock ones.  SUPER CUTE!
