A cinderella kind of day

Since im getting married on the beach, high heels are out of the question. So I found these sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti (below) that a fellow bride wore at her beach wedding. I thought "perfect!!!".. until I saw the price tag :(  From that moment on I have been on a mission to find the perfect sandal with just the right amount of embellishment in a reasonable price range. I searched for DAYS on every website you can imagine and every store in the mall (that part wasn't so bad :) im talking Zappos, Amazon, Neimans, Nordstrom, Saks, Ebay, endless.com (--- the most amazing shoe website ever! it combines every cute shoe on the internet from a million different designers) but I couldn't find   "THE shoes".
So thats when I decided to create my OWN. I grabbed these simple, gold Antonio Melani thong sandals from Dillards...
Then I took them to the fabulous women at BBS, a local Bead Designing Boutique, and showed them the shoes and my picture of the Giuseppe's for inspiration. One week later, and im in L O V E .
These pictures done even come close to doing these sandals justice! I seriously did not want to take them off! They have so much s p a r k l e .


They removed the flower from the front of the sandal and attached jewels, pearls, crystals and other embellishments
.one word.
