I LOVE shoes. I was a 3 shoe gal myself and if I could I would have bought 10 pairs for my big day.After all, you can never have too many shoes. I have seen many different kinds of bridal shoes and I love when brides do something unique and different. For example: Check out the red sequin shoes the whole bridal party wore for this wedding? Very fun. The bride loves red and wanted to wear red shoes and incorporate her favourite color.Also great for formal pictures and a nice unique touch.Also a good idea for “something blue” if you can’t figure out how to have that “something blue” item and you want to stick to tradition, Why not try some dazzling blue numbers on your feet?

Enclosed are some beautiful shoes for all budgets. Not everyone can afford the Manolos however with so many companies making bridal shoes, you can easily find one or 5 pairs that fits your budget. After all, it’s so hard to pick just one.

HIGH: Super-girly, with a healthy dose of sex appeal, these silver satin and rhinestone sandals by Martinez Valero ($203) will set your mister’s heart aflutter!	LOW: Fun, flirty and affordable, these silver satin peep-toe pumps by Gossip ($60) are topped with the perfect finishing touch—a rhinestone bow.
HIGH: Splurge on a pair of designer shoes, like these elegant nude satin, crystal-embellished pumps by Christian Louboutin ($668) for the big day. The iconic vibrant red soles will make your stroll down the aisle extra-special.	LOW: If a pointy-toe pump is your style of choice, opt for these glamorous yet budget-conscious beauties by Town Shoes ($125). In pearly leather with rhinestone trim, these d’Orsay pumps will add just the right amount of pizzazz to your bridal ensemble.
HIGH: Show off your pedicure in these gorgeous silver leather peep-toe sandals by Brian Atwood ($695). This perfect pair is finished with refined pleats and a sparkly crystal brooch.	LOW: These stylish open-toe pumps by Spring ($50) embody high-fashion style on a low budget! At this price, why not treat all your bridesmaids to a great pair of shoes for the big day?
HIGH: Prada ivory leather 'Flair' ballet flats ($250). Perfect for dancing the night away.	HIGH: Smooth Silk satin Sandal by Jimmy Choo ($550) to show off that pedicure. The bottoms of the shoe have an anti slip grip so perfect for keeping your balance and not slipping on your couture dress.
LOW: Affordable vintage inspired shoes.Embellished silver slingback sandal by Nina ($100).

I love unique and detailed touches at weddings. It just shows a lot of thought went into it and honestly guests LOVE details. I recently saw something and thought “Wow is that ever fantastic, I can’t wait to tell my brides ” – I LOVE IT”

“Aisles with Style“ does custom made aisle runners, that don’t slip and have a non slip backing. So go ahead and wear those Manolo’s on your big day. Yippee! The best part is you can get you aisle runner customized. Not only do you get to pick the length and color you also get the option to put your name and or wedding date on it. What a great idea and so many options for the couple that wants something customized. Now you are wondering what am I going to do with it after the wedding? There is so many things you can do. Either, cut the portion with your name and use it as a mat in your home. What a great idea to welcome guests. You can frame it, which is the way I recently saw it displayed or you can just keep it. Maybe for your home on the deck or even in you foyer? I am sure there is many more things you can do with it and if you are creative, I am sure you can come up with lots of ways to reuse this item?

I recommend you check out the website since they have so many samples on what you can do to customize these runners. You can also get it in your wedding colors, your wedding date or even a monogram.  So many options.

I am a HUGE fan of dessert. This is no secret. When a couple asks me my thoughts on cake, I ask them to take me to the cake tasting. After all it’s my job as a wedding planner. Not only is taste and flavour important, the look of your wedding cake is at the top of the list. Many couples will have a cake that reflects their wedding theme. Whether it be your wedding colors,a pattern or even a shared interest you two may have. The possibilities are endless. Here is some great looking cakes to get your inspired and probably even a little hungry.

My FAV is the Chanel purse cake. How much fun would that be for a shower?
