My Inspiration Series, Part One: Shoes

Inspiration, Weddings

February 11th, 2010

Ask any of my brides: if there’s one item at a wedding that inspires me, it’s the shoes. On a wedding day, you can usually find me before all the action has started, rummaging around trying to find the bride’s shoes. I always love to get photos of them. For the next five weeks, I’m going to do an inspiration post on Thursdays that shows you my favorite single elements from weddings, starting of course with shoes (they are my favorite, after all). Hopefully they’ll help some of you brides with some ideas or if nothing else, be something fun to look at on your visit to my blog.

There’s something about bright-colored shoes that I can’t get enough of. I bought five pairs for this shoot.

I loved these yellow ones, with the teal background. Can you tell I had some fun playing with shoes?

That’s our new Le Creuset Dutch Oven, in a perfect coordinating blue. I couldn’t help but incorporate it.

I think these green shoes were my favorite of the bunch.

Yay for shoes! I seriously can’t wait for this year’s weddings and all the beautiful shoes I’m going to come across. Come back next week for another item I can’t get enough of at weddings (or in life) — desserts!
