If I’m going to be wearing a flowing ivory bridal gown you can bet I’ll be hiding something fun on my feet! Since we’re going California casual I think flat sandals are a must. I’m currently lusting after these Sigerson Morrison Leather Fringed and Lanvin Pom Poms. Shhhhhhhh, I know that they cost more than the dress, just let me dream… Though if you have suggestions, as always, do tell!
Tres chic and COMFY (so important)!
Emily — So glad you approve. I’m all about being comfy : )
I love the first ones!
If you like the lanvin ones, the Gap has some sandals right now that look really similar.
Kate — I love it! You knot the Gap ones are probably $500+ cheaper. Must look into this, if not for the wedding, for summer in general! Thanks for the tip love XOXO
ugh, I’m completely torn! they’re both great. but I think there’s something really fun about hiding unexpected, bright shoes underneath a wedding gown.. so maybe the Lanvin ones? Good luck!
XO fallon
Thanks Fallon! I love the idea of a hot pink or something unexpected peaking out from underneath the gown every so often. So many fun details to think about… XO
awww I love these shoes but they are pricey! Try jcrew or piperlime too!! I LOVE fun, colorful shoes under a bridal gown, makes for cool pictures!!
I would check out http://www.piperlime.com. I just checked it out and they have about 400 different pairs of flat sandals, and there are some really cute ones! Go through them all and I’m sure you will find a cute pair and a decent price!
Sandy — My thinking exactly. Good call on the J.Crew / Piperlime!
Lacquered Life — Clearly great minds think alike. Sounds like Piperlime has quite the selection. Off to check it out now, thank you!!! XO
LOVE them both. I actually just bought a couple of different pairs from Old Navy. They’re all metallic– one in silver and another in metallic rose. The way I look at it… if you’re going to wear the shoes again and again after the wedding, then it’s okay if you spend a little more. It’s when they’re a “one time, good time” pair that I can’t justify it.
Abbie — I’m with you. I don’t think our budget could justify it regardless of the use! Perhaps I ought to get my tail to Old Navy! XO
love the first ones and I am sure their will be a knock off somewhere soon. Oh, and the first dress is on my list “if I could do my wedding again this is what I would wear” list.
stop it! i need that first pair! i loooove them
Paula — Good call on the knock-off and another vote for the Whitney…I like it.
Ashlina — Soooo fun for summer right? XO
Ooh the Lanvin ones are perfect you should go with those!
I wore gold sandal flats, and they were so comfy. Then for dancing I put on sparkled converse, and boy was I able to dance. I love both of those sandals. XO
Love the silver ones!
well my dear, you will need one pair for the wedding and the other for the reception!!!! Of course!! that’s the ticket!!!!
The fringed ones..love them and they would be fabulous on your honeymoon and so many times after. Go for it!!!
I say splurge on the shoes – both pairs are GORGEOUS! – and you’ll be able to wear them lots all summer :)
Caroline — Sparkled converse?! You’re my hero.
Ivy Lane — If only!! I like your thinking, if only my wallet would allow it!
Blue Hydrangea — The honeymoon! I’d almost forgotten about it, isn’t that horrible? I think we’re just going to take a mini-one to Santa Barbara for a few days…but yes, the sandals would be perfect! XO
Michelle — This is true…ugh…I just don’t know if I can pull the trigger. But they’re SO fun…sigh.
Lanvin allll the way!
They are so special and unique- something you will treasure forever. And such a fun conversation piece for years to come.
P.S: What girl doesn’t want French couture on her feet for the happiest day of her life?
RoomService — Well when you put it that way I’m whipping out my credit card…ahhhh.
love them both – but particularly the silver…
and if you feel like saving $500, I’m tempted to buy these myself from j.crew:

Have never seen the fringed ones before…and now completely obsessed!

Taryn w/ Sigerson Morrison sandals!!!
It’s completly redic!!! that you would spend 4 or 5 hundrend dollars on a pair of sandles- I don’t care how much money you have, redic!! there are hungry people in this world!
Of course I’m in LOVE with those Lanvin pom poms. Gah!!
Kiri — I find your honesty refreshing. I can assure I’ve never spent this amount on shoes, hence the “dream”… To each their own, but I too find it a bit hard to swallow. The other argument of course, is that fashion is art and people splurge on these things as they would paintings. I can understand that. And hopefully, they’re giving to charity far more than they spend on their footwear! Also, women spend thousands on bridal gowns and no one bats an eye. I have a feeling if I’d said I was spending $950 on my gown (I’m only spending $395) and $50 on footwear you wouldn’t have thought it so extravagant, though it adds up to the same. Just an observation : ) I really am glad you spoke up. It’s a fine line I know. I personally choose not to judge on such matters…I love beautiful things and think a couture closet rivals many a museum. XO
sigerson..so cute you are!
Adore you. Please remind me to wear poppy colored flats whenever I get married!
Awwww Miss Jill how I miss you!!!! XOXOXO
a fine line for sure- did not mean to sound preachy, think both shoes are fab- all for quality over quanity $500.00 for a pair of sandles just goes against my grain.
Kiri — I feel you. So glad you’re a reader, and I mean that! XO
read it every day and snatch those quotes and share regularly! also feel as though the manifesto was written for me!
Piperlime has a bunch of cute (not Gap prices but also not Lanvin!) right now:

Kiri — Awww, love hearing that! I always wonder if people read the manifesto—yay! XO
Honestly I love both of these but I think the pink Lanvin’s are a bit more fun and whimsical. But is that what you’re going for? BTW … the gold Dolce & Gabbana shoes I wore were absolutely more expensive than my dress. I say roll with it:)
they are both gorgeous!!! the great thing about wedding shoes is that you can wear them again and again! woo hoo! get both :)
Great idea! I wore green slingbacks with my wedding dress (they matched the orchids in my bouquet) – I love the idea of fun shoes at a wedding! Both of these are great!
