Betsey Johnson’s wedding shoes just SOMETHING BLUE me away (har har har)

Betsey Johnson might have declared bankruptcy a few years ago, but she’s still kicking! Her line of Something Blue shoes is a nice take on wedding footwear… some of these might lean a little less loud than I typically go, but I’m a sucker for the blue soles with a heart.

Dazzle the night away in these sparkly, glittery shoes you can actually dance in

It’s been a hot minute (drab minute? matte minute?) since I set my sights on sparkly, glitter-crusted shoes, so let’s right that wrong! Today I want shoes that turn your feet into spinning disco balls — but shoes that are also low-heeled enough to dance in. I want shoes that wink under your dress while not quietly murdering your feet, so I’m going to focus on heel heights under about 2″.

Silver shoes for sparkly wedding toes

By special request… silver shoes! I’ve done many posts about sparkly shoes (which of course includes silver), but never have I just set my sights on this one type of metallic.

As always, I tried to get a full range of options — from the holographic Vivienne Westwood flats above, to sparklingly prim little pumps, to dapper Oxfords so sparklingly silver that they might as well be disco balls. You’ll find a range of prices, too. And the bonus shoe stays in the metallic flavor, but comes way WAY out of left field, reminding me of some club kid shoes I wore in the mid-’90s.

Advanced wedding footwear: high heels I love but probably can’t walk in

For those of you who are more advanced heel-walkers than I am, I decided to round up a collection of shoes that I absolutely adore… but probably can’t walk in. If you can manage these on your wedding day, I bow down to you. In fact, maybe that’s the solution: if someone bows down and carries you around on your wedding day, these are all the perfect shoes. PERFECT.
