Alternative shoes under a wedding gown and a Bliss FitFlop discount ending 26 Oct!

What shoes can you wear under THE dress?

Previously, it was thought that we should wear satin shoes with embellishments under a wedding gown.
Something like this Badgley Mischka shoe.  Still kinda cute with the over the top rhinestones - kinda love the art-deco, bling factor of that.

These days, a woman can wear what she feels like - pumps, sandals, boots, whatever!

I wore pewter strappy Judith Leiber sandals I had previously worn as a bridesmaid to a friend's wedding because they totally matched my dresses and were pretty comfy.

I really love the concept of wearing some practical (as in can wear after the wedding) or comfortable (see my picture later).

Take the lovely Dawn and her peep-toe Jimmy Choo Mary Janes - fun and functional to so many other parties!

Is it going to be rainy or do you just love your rain boots (I have the same ones from Target!)  Wear them then like Lori did!
 
 How about cowboy boots so you can just kick up your heels and run around?  As seen here.

Or do you just want comfortable shoes?  Wear Fit Flops like I did! When we did out first look pictures and had to walk around to different spots, I had these on.  Hanako first told me about the Bliss sale on Twitter a few months ago.  I got them and LOVE them. 
They're on sale again at Bliss - up to 50% off most flip flop styles.  I want boots as well, but will probably wait until there's a bigger discount. Sale ends 26 Oct.  Enter code 119908 and get free shopping if you buy over $50 .

Since buying them, I've found other friends (1 with a chronic back problem) who laud the comfort and support of these shoes.  I'll admit that they aren't the cutest flip flops out there, but they're pretty basic (so can be worn with quite a few outfits) and the shock absorption is so worth it.

I've had a pain in my right foot sometimes and find that these are the only pair of shoes that help my feet even after walking for hours.  I'm sure I look pretty funny while wearing them around South London though.


This is also one of the funniest and one of my favorite photos from our day.  I was running out of the Echo because we were starting to run late for the ceremony. 
Anyhoo, happy shopping!
