The comfort of shoes is always a big deal for me — whether I’m going out to the grocery store for a few items or the club for a long five-six hour night out. With wide feet, finding the perfect pair of shoes that are both comfortable and cute is a trying task so I decided to make my own DIY wedding shoes.
With so many other things to perfect for the wedding, my shoes started to fall to the bottom of the list. Luckily I was at an outlet store when I saw this $40 pair of shoes just out of my reach. I jumped out of line, grabbed the pair, quickly tried it on, and decided that they would do.
My wedding guardian angel and best friend, who had just gotten married a few months before suggested that I spruce my shoes up. I listened to her, and so glad I did, because my DIYed wedding shoes came out looking very pretty in the photos!
So here’s what I did to make my (all-together) $50 pair of wedding shoes with appliques…
I took my boring-but-comfy pair of shoes from Ann Taylor and bought some floral applique from Etsy that would match my dress.
Then I positioned the appliques on my shoes — seeing exactly where I wanted them to go. Then used a hot glue gun to glue them down.
And that was it!
I thought they looked a little weird after I was done, but with the dress, and all of the wedding decor, they looked quite perfect…
Now my shoes were both fancy and frugal.
