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. Recently we saw Nicole, an Alice in Wonderland bride, embrace the style with the spat-like booties above.
I personally think spats are less Scrooge McDuck and more the Sixth Doctor. Spats, gaiters, and spat-style shoes are totally something to consider for your wedding outfit. Check out some of our favorites.

Yo, I LOVE these Cthuhlu Convertible Pumps. They just do something to my heart… Unfortunately, I won’t be wearing heels at the wedding. So.

Does anyone know who made those peacock spats? They are amazing!!
