Typically, at any wedding, the focus is always on the bride and her dress! Everyone wants to see and gush over the highly anticipated dress! I, on the other hand, want to see what’s under the dress! Ok, get your minds out of the gutter; I’m talking about the SHOES people!

For my own wedding, I spent the most time trying to find the perfect bridal shoes. My idea of the ultimate wedding shoes were a little unconventional – I wanted to find the most girly, frilly, shiny, hot-pink, high heels out there. I could only get away with wearing shoes like this on one day, my wedding day!

Low and behold, I found my perfect wedding shoes! Although the shoes were totally “me,” they weren’t exactly very wedding-ish! I needed to do something to make them a little more bridal, if that was at all possible.

I turned to Absolutely Audrey for help and they totally came through for me. Absolutely Audrey has a huge selection of shoe clips that can personalize any shoe or accessory for any occasion. The shoe clips come in every color imaginable and are available in a variety of shapes and materials.

I found the silver, pearl and rhinestone “Melina” shoe clip that matched the brooch on my dress and necklace flawlessly! They were the perfect way to tie my crazy shoes to the rest of my bridal attire.

Absolutely Audrey also suggests getting creative with the shoe clips and adding them to hats, jackets, shirts, scarves, clutches and purses. Just what every girl loves… unlimited options!

On occasion, even our most adored and admired pair of shoes can let us down and leave us limping with aching, tired and sometimes blistered feet.

Soleil Shoe Company figured out a way to alleviate sore feet without sacrificing fashion. They have created a rollable, foldable ballet flat that fits right in your purse… how cool is that?

These folding shoes are ideal for any occasion and they’re perfect to keep on standby at your wedding.

I tried out a pair for my bachelorette party. I, of course, had to begin the evening in a super hot, super high, pair of heels! Eventually, the hotness of my heels wore off as my feet throbbed with pain.

Thank goodness I had my (still pretty hot) patent black Soleil shoes in my clutch. I did the swap and my bachelorette party continued without a hitch.

At least my super hot, super high, pair of heels got to make an appearance. Unfortunately, the rest of the girls weren’t so lucky; they ended their night barefoot on a dirty dance floor.

These shoes form to your feet almost like socks. The bottom of the shoe is very thin and you can feel the texture of the ground more than other shoes (but, that’s what makes them so compact).

The company does warn their customers to watch for sharp objects as they walk. But, I’d rather be on the lookout for potential hazards than hobble around in misery.

Soleil shoes come in 4 colors:

Spring White (perfect for brides!)
Patent Black
Silver
Pink

Plus, every pair of Soleil shoes comes with a protective drawstring pouch to keep your heels safe when they’re not being worn. Gotta love the gift with purchase!
