Wedding shoes ~ your first instinct is to look for white shoes for the bride, a matching color for the bridesmaid dresses, and black or white patent Mary Jane’s for the flower girl.

If you’re a typical woman, you’ll be wanting several new pair for the parties and celebrations ~ the shower, your stag party, the rehearsal, possibly the reception, and going away.

There are pairs for each of your needs. They may be kid leather, satin, suede, patent ~ whichever pair is just right for you. Just shoes, period. You gotta love ‘em. Why not love ‘em in tartan?

We women are accused of having a shoe fetish. If Imelda Marcos had over one thousand pairs, I wonder how many Marie Antoinette had. Or how about Mary, Queen of Scots? History of Shoes covers the little that’s known about shoes through the ages.

Though not plentiful, there are a few Sources for Tartan Shoes and Boots.

Only two have tartan boots and shoes available in a large choice of tartans ~ and three plus shoe styles to choose from.

If tartan shoes seem over-the-top for you, here’s some other sources for Specialty Shoes and Boots.

Ideas for embellishing your own bridal shoes are plentiful. The problem is finding and utilizing them in a practical, yet creative way. A book I highly recommend is

If you need sources for machine embroidery motifs, such as Celtic knots and thistles, Machine Embroidery Motif Sources can help.

To embellish your bridal shoes for a personal touch, you need a pair of shoes to start with. Embellished Shoe Ideas is a good place to start.
