If the shoe fits...

One wedding item I started thinking about right away was shoes.  I love to shop and I love a fabulous pair of shoes, so this was really no surprised.

I first thought about donning some cowboy boots under my dress, since we're getting married in Texas (yeehah!), but I'm not sure that's the direction I want to go.  I can picture myself wearing them at the reception, but not at the ceremony.

Makes for some fun pictures, though!

I've also been encouraged by people to wear comfortable flats, but I've thought about that too, and bottom line is, flats are just. not. me.  I am a tall, proud, heel-wearing woman.  I wear fabulous heels all the time - to the office, out at night, on weekends...and I really like them.  It seems like heels would be the most "me" way to go.

I'd also like to get heels that I'll be able to wear again - as opposed to ivory satin wedding heels that will be worn just once.  (I could say I'll dye them black, or whatever, but the reality is they will go in a box and that will be that.  No fun!)  Besides - there are so many great colored heels out there!  Right now I think these Kate Spade Karmen pumps are my front runner:

Not only are they fabulous heels, they could also be my something blue - bonus!

Since bright colors are blooming all over the stores, I'm keeping my eyes out for new shoes that might compete with these.  I may just go ahead and order them when they go on sale, and return them if I find something I like even better.

Are you a heels girl or a flats girl?  How did you decide on your wedding shoes?
