Wild wedges: for when you want a heel, but not a spike

For those of us who have issues walking in heels (and don’t be fooled: I love to LOOK at insane heels, but god knows I can’t walk in them!) wedges are the perfect solution. You get a little elevation, but with the advantage of a more solid sole — and often the assistance of a little platform.

Today I’m wrastling up a few of my favorite wedges. These run the gamut from the more casual, retro end of the spectrum (beach wedding? adorbz!) all the way to glitter-crusted neon space booties for your sci-fi midnight adventure wedding. Oh, and one pair of fuzzy mice.

A crazy hat-wearing, dance-partying, Zelda-themed wedding

Now, you already saw the Pi Day wedding I shot last year, and you probably noticed their abundance of delicious wedding pies. Cake v. pie arguments aside, let’s take a moment on this frabjous day to celebrate the wonder that is wedding pies.
