Even with ideas about how to decorate and personalize your wedding shoes, you need embellished shoe sources. Here’s a few ~
Galileo Gowns Imperial Slippers
A year ago I saw a really great pair of wedding shoes at Galileo Gowns. I didn’t save an image of them and I wish I had. The company is now out-of-business, which is a great loss. They were offering sumptuous Celtic wedding gowns, with lots of embroidered Celtic knots.
The Imperial Slippers were displayed at balleluia.com/galileogowns/accessories.htm. Check periodically, as the site might come back up. If so, to view the slippers is worth the effort. To buy a pair for your wedding shoes would be spectacular.They were white satin, ballerina type, slippers, decorated on the vamp with plastic jewels in colors to match the gowns. ~ red, blue, green, purple, and gold, the best I can recall.
If they don’t come back on line, you can decorate a pair of slippers with a similar idea.

How To Information from Jan’s site.If the sole has a colored stripe around it, simply glue a narrow ribbon all the way around to conceal it, as explained in A Closet Full of Shoes.
Doodads for Crocs
You can order the doodads from Oriental Trading Company.They also have a page How To Charm a Doodad.
Simply decorate the outside half, snap it together, then slip the whole gizmo through any of the holes in your crocs. And you have instant personalized embellishments. It could be tartan bows, beads, buttons, ribbons, lace, charms, or combination of these.
This could be a great place to display some Scottish or Celtic charms, which are available in pewter and silver.
Local sources for white and colored crocs are almost unlimited. Just walk into Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, or Payless Shoes.
The original Crocs® now come in a variety of styles and colors. I’d probably choose the Prima style, unless you’re wanting a blue, red, or green to go with your tartan.
- Beach ~ 16 colors
- Cayman ~ 15 colors
- Prima ~ 7 colors
- Nile ~ 5 colors
- Athens ~ 7 colors
- Mary Jane ~ 1 color
All the current selections can be seen at Zappos.One more suggestion, if you decide to go with the crocs and haven’t worn them before, buy some, get used to them, and make sure you will be comfortable dancing in them, before you start embellishing them for wedding shoes.
