Black sparkling shoes for your noire wedding
My shoe posts almost always focus on shoes that are either A) loud, like I wear ’em or B) pale, like the majority of brides wear ’em. I almost never include shoes that are brown or black because sometimes they can feel too “daily wear” and not WEDDING-Y enough. I guess if I’mma go non-traditional, I opt toward my own candy-colored tastes, instead of the shoes that are just like my heart: black and sparkling.

But you know what? I like playful, sparkly, and inexpensive (and I know some of you do too) so let’s take a look at some prom shoes and sandals that could kick ass for your wedding day. We’ve got some rainbow sparkles, lots of bows, and even a couple pairs of flip-flops…
Polkadot wedding shoes: spring 2012 edition
It’s only been a few months since my last polkadot wedding shoes post, but people: spring 2012 has been KIND to lovers of the dots.
Below, I’ve got polkadot heels and wedges, flats and booties, Oxfords and sandals.
As is increasingly the case with my shoe posts, things get weirder and weirder toward the bottom. I’mma start with some gentler black and white options, some nice tan dots for those of you who don’t want to blind your guests…but we’re going to close with dot/floral mixes, platforms with polkadots and skulls, and other spotty freakery.
