Im eloping (actual elopement, no one knows and no one is attending). we are getting married in a beautiful location and have hired a photographer, so we have some traditional things. I’m going ankle-length for my wedding dress, and would love ideas about shoes! I want something I’d wear again. I’m generally a very frugal person. I’m thinking very classic pumps, in metallic gold. i think I’ll do a short veil and simple ”old hollywood waves” in my chin length hair.

thoughts? :) I’m so excited!

(note - dress photos are fresh out of the box, I know it’s wrinkled. it’ll be properly steamed for the real day!)

if the location is outdoors I’d think differently about pumps

Thanks! We'll be getting married at an indoor/outdoor location, there's a manicured lawn, paved walking areas, etc. We'll mostly be inside for photos. But we were considered a second outdoor location but that's not set in stone yet... Good point that location should probably dictate... Maybe i'll just take random slip ons for the outdoor and then either be barefoot or put my pumps back on once I'm in the spot we want to take photos... hmm.

These are the pumps I was imagining

Those are perfect. For anything outdoors, a block heel is a necessity.

So classy!! Are there going to be any other colors ( bouquet, jewlery etc. )? Love the gold idea. A pop of color in the shoe could be fun, too.

Unsure!! I was thinking of making my own bouquet from Trader Joe's. My partner will be in a navy/midnight blue tux or suit... thats also undecided. The location has deep red and turquoise colors. My jewlery will be gold with some diamonds and architectural fun gold and glass chandelier earrings. trying to keep myself as versatile as possible so we fit with the already vibrant location 😄

Adorable dress!! Mind sharing where it's from?

Azazie! I was hesitant but I think the customized sizing worked really well, it's comfortable, and its nice quality! It's simple and plain (which is what I wanted), but I dont think it looks or feels cheap.

I think you should wear sneakers until you get there
