Get married in purple shoes

Why get married in purple shoes? Because you’ll look like a purple-heeled bombshell. Why? Because you’ll look like royalty. Why? Because you’ll look like a surreal circus freak.

These range from the prettiest pale lilac to the deepest almost-blue, from $40 to $1400, completely flat to towering tall. But they’re all purple. And they’re all awesome (especially the ones with the de-socketed eyeballs!)
