Keeping the Dress, Swapping the Shoes

It seems an increasing number of brides are opting to switch out of their ceremony dress and dance the night away in a reception dress. I'm doing the equivalent for my feet!

Basically, I'm generally a hot mess in heels. I'm pretty tall (5'9") so I don't wear them on a regular basis. On the occasion I do wear heels, I end up with bloody heels, oozy blisters, or scraped knees because I've taken a tumble. It's classy.

So, yeah, I'm a flats girl. I love my Tory Burch's. I own more pairs than I'd like to admit, and it's all too fitting that I rock a pair on my wedding day. My current quest is to find a pair in velvet aubergine. If not, the shiny purple ones will do just fine.

Here's the plan: my wedding shoes are Stuart Weitsman's "Gigiritz" which I found at zappos.com for $298. My specifications were pretty simple: good quality (i.e. I was willing to splurge a bit), under 3" heel and dyeable. I'm going to have them dyed a rich purple to match my bridesmaids dresses. After the ceremony and photos, I'll slip on my Tory Burch's and savor comfy feet all night!

Are you trading your heels for flats at some point during your wedding?
