Who’s looking for sweet wedding day shoes? Behold, Miz Mooz

I’ve featured Miss Mooz shoes before, and I think it’s time for another peek into their colorful, comfort-minded footwear. Offbeat Brides have said: “I heart Miz Mooz something fierce –- they are always so comfy!” and “God I love this brand too much… All their shoes are so adorable!”

I’m in agreement. Let’s dive in!

20 pairs of red wedding shoes [UPDATED for 2022!]

Have you guys ever heard that class quote: Red shoes are worn only by small children, clowns, and prostitutes? Offbeat Brides obviously disagree with all these sentiments: did you know that we have seven pages of red shoe posts on Offbeat Bride? SEVEN PAGES, you guys.

Charlotte Olympia Hands Up Pump alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

Amazing shoes from Charlotte Olympia that most of us can’t afford (but all of us can enjoy!)

Generally when I do these shoe posts, I make a point to provide a range of pricing options, from $30 pleather flats that might start falling apart after one wear, all the way up to “Holy shit, those shoes cost more than my entire catering budget!” Last week, a reader wrote in to very specifically request a post about Charlotte Olympia’s line of shoes.

T-strap shoes that fit your wedding to a T {UPDATED for 2022!!}

Winter wedding shoes: boots and other warmies [UPDATED for 2022!]

On last week’s shoe post, Meganwins asked for a post about winter wedding footwear. I linked to my most recent post about wedding boots, but that was six months ago. Maybe it’s time for a new booted walk down the aisle… and maybe instead of just thinking BOOTS, I’mma go for footwear that’s just generally better for winter weddings. A little warmer, a little more water resistant, a little less strappy. Winter brides, hold my gloved hand, and let’s do this…
