Ok I was talking to my G-ma last weekend and she asked about my shoes. I told her I wanted some cute open toe shoes and she told me that a bride NEVER wears open toe shoes because its trampy. The link below are the shoes i was thinking about....

    If wearing open toed shoes is wrong then I don't wanna be right! :-)

    I have to agree with you there. And the great things about those shoes.. not to brag or anything. is that you can re dye them so you can have a color that you would wear if you don't wear white shoes.

    I so fell in love with them!! And a HUGE plus.. they are SUPER comfy!!!

    hehe, I think yours are lovely, I'm wearing something similar but a bit higher (I've got flats to change into!)

    Definately NOT trampy

    WOW...I have never heard that one! That is new to me. I work with a older lady she is like 65 and I asked her and she said she has also never heard of that!!

    I really like your shoes.

    Here are the ones that I have. When I saw the orange, I was like I have to have!

    Those shoes are not trampy because they are peep toe shoes but it would be trampy to were like those lace up, open toe, clear plactic heel, stripper shoes ((nothing against strippers)) that i have seen on some wedding sites. your shoes look verry classy and maybe your g ma was thinking of a different kind of shoe and she probly is a bit old fashioned

    She's old fashioned. More and more Brides are wearing opened toe for their weddings. they are prettier to look at, they look better with most dresses and lets face it, they are WAY MORE COMFORTABLE!! some girls (like me) hate closed toe shoes because they are so uncomfortable. I know I am wearing open toe for my wedding! Just nod your head at your grandma and wear want you want! its your big day!!

    Hehe--grandmas are great. Open-toe and peep-toes aren't really that big of a deal some brides are even opting for regular running shoes, or my personal favorite, Flip Flops Smiley laugh

    Neka and Soon to be Bride... Your shoes are adorable. I love the pattern. I actually went to get my shoes this weekend and they DON'T match my dress at all. Its been hard to find shoes that do (if you want to see its on my inspiration boards). Bummer!

    What would your grandam think of me, my shoes are strappy and have a platform. Smiley smile When I told me mom I wanted to where platform shows, she was like you can't wear shoes like that. Then I showed her a the picture http://stuartweitzman.zappos.com/n/p/dp/42186154/c/3528.html and she liked them. But she immediately thought of stripper shoes. I needed to find tall shoes because I could not hem my dress because the detail would then be at the very bottom and I didn't like the idea of that...(Hard to explain) Also, my fiance is 6' 4'' and I am almost 5' 4'' so I always where tall shoes.

    Have you showed your grandma the picture of your shoes, she may just like them?

    Whoa I would hate for your grandma to see my shoes, cause they are very strapy open toe shoes, yours are just a baby peep toe so I am sure it should be ok with her.
