My "Something Blue"

These shoes were my inspirations...they are $90 at Zappos but that's more than I was looking to spend and ALL the reviews said how uncomfortable they were that 95% of people returned them.


With a little TLC & Bling these shoes are ready for my big day!





I found these shoes at Target for only $17!
They were perfect other than they were a little dull!



I followed this bloggers DIY tutorial to make the Flowers for the sides of the shoes.
They were very easy and fun to make!


Props to my wonderful fiance for taking the time to put each and every crystal in it's place! I just don't have the patience for projects like that.



$17 for the shoes
$2 for the fabric
$3 fabric glue
$8 for the crystals
TOTAL: $30

    I love these! They are even better than your inspiration shoes!

    I'll have to keep these in mind for when I get married... a long long long time from now!

    I LOVE these!! I am assuming you are wearing them on your wedding day and I think that is so perfect!! A girlfriend of mine wore red shoes at her wedding and I LOVED them!!

    Great job!

    Oh my goodness! I love them! So gutted now as I found some super cute shoes last week but I thought they were a little plain - I could have made them super fancy like yours! Will now be looking for shoes that I can redo!

    I love these! what a great blue color!! If I was getting married nowadays, I'd wear colored shoes under my dress (no one was doing that, or even thinking of doing that, in 1997!) ;-)
