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. As you can see, we’ve featured a LOT of purple-footed brides over the years, so it makes perfect sense that I’d take some time to dabble in purple shoes. 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!)
AND MY AXE: Nerd up your vows with a little audience participation
Secretly getting some pals to help you out with your vows can add a laugh to an otherwise butterfly-tummy situation. Jessica and Jacob took this route and added in some of their favorite geek references for good measure.
Anna & Joe’s circus carnival and costume ball wedding
From her breathtaking blood-red gown to his dapper top hat and tails, these two are the picture of gorgeous Victorian fashion. I’ll bet you’d be surprised at who their officiant was! Their old-school carnival/circus-themed tent of lights, stripes, juggling, and fire let them entertain their guests and share the spotlight that’s often squarely on the couple getting married — a smooth move. You’re also going to love the late night dip in the pool, the killer shoes, and the heartwarming grandfather as an admiring admiral just bursting with happy mid-hug.
Felt flower crowns for your flower children
As soon as I saw these felt flower crowns over at Noodlehead, I knew that someone somewhere had little flower and ring children who could rock this look. I also have a feeling that the right color combo and flowers could totally work on adults. (Maybe even male flower girls!)
