Shoe Infatuation: Wedding Wednesday edition

So, I am still shopping around for wedding dresses, and I really have until around May/June to figure that all out... but I LOVE shoes.

This shoe is the Lanvin Kitten-Heel Bow Oxford Pump, which is a beige patent leather:



This shoe is the Stuart Weitzman Ruched Criss Cross Dorsay Pump, which is a gold lamb leather:



This shoe is the Jimmy Choo Patent Open-Toe d'Orsay, it is a nude patent leather with kitten heel!:



Love this Manolo Blahnik Rhinestone Buckle d'Orsay pump in silver nappa leather:



Adore this Valentino Couture Half d'Orsay pump in gold leather:



And, lastly, a gorgeous sky-high pair of heels, the Christian Louboutin Bow-Topped Slingback, which are in a satin-leather nude shade:



These are several styles I love for possible wedding dress shoes, while only a couple are realistic as M is not that much taller than me! But my dress will be ivory so thank goodness I am not having to wear white. EWWWWW (no offense former/fellow brides).

Thank you to Amid Privilege for helping me with this post title (didn't want to say "shoe p0rn" like so many people do!!)!

Reception location

The reception hall has been booked. The location is Evans Hall in the town where I grew up. The date is set for October 8, 2011! It is a gorgeous location with a lot of potential for it. Several of my Tweethearts / blog friends / real life friends know it inside and out. I thought I would share some great photos of it so you could see how it can be played...



The floor is all tiled black and white. So, no dance floor (apparently LOTS of people rent them for their wedding, never really thought about it until now??)! Also, lends itself to the more classic 30s-40s glam evening wedding reception we are going for.



I think Amid Privilege called the blue trim on the room Wedgwood blue. It is certainly not the W&L blue the campus is more familiar with, but with the white walls it lends a really lovely air of distinction!



Several childhood friends have already had weddings here (these pictures were from childhood friend Megan and Donny, who met in Middle School and dated starting then (in band class with me!!!)) [seen above]. It isn't original, but this location is nice for weddings where you want people to have a wonderful time, and walk to the wedding, reception, back to hotel (or B&B) if they can and NOT drive!



If you have any doubts - Miss Mindless is an alumnae and can attest to the fact that the building is fabulous!

Would love y'alls feedback, as I always do!! XOXO
