Wider-calf boots for wedding days (and everydays!)

Ariel is letting me pinch-hit in shoe posts this week since I’ve been knee-deep in boots… and other puns. I’ve been looking at tall boots for wider calves! If you’re looking for kicky wedding boots but your athletic or plus-size calves make it hard to find boots that fit well, I can relate.

Low-heeled wedding boots

I’ve done posts about wedding boots before, but this time I wanted to take a slightly different tack… toward lower-heeled, more comfortable options.

I tried to limit my selections to heels with heights of less than three inches (…I didn’t always succeed), focusing on styles that had a hint of formality while still being as loud and funky as I always like to feature. I’ve got everything here from uber-femme brocaded floral booties all the way to androngynous glittered ankle boots to ass-stomping shit-kickers.

Manda & Dave’s afternoon wedding in a nightclub

A black ballgown, an amazing staircase, and a strategically placed leaf for a statue’s modesty? This wedding in a nightclub has it all, and happened on a Monday afternoon, letting the couple celebrate their anniversary and enjoy a hot venue for a cool price.

Did you know that “spats” was originally a shortened version of “spatterdashes?” That is a neat word and a fun fashion detail that we sometimes see in our steampunk, Victorian, and fancier weddings. Check out some of our favorites.
