Name this 'plant' & help me have my dream wedding :)
Comments (6)I'm not convinced that it's a plant at all, but a moss ball or something similar. There are also floral foam balls of various sizes in which fresh flowers or leaves can be inserted. The woody stuff looks like drift wood, which might have been spray painted to make it dark. It looks like something of a tripping hazard to me, at least the way it's set up in the photograph. How are people supposed to get to their seats? Maybe no one is supposed to use the aisle, right? Other than you and the wedding party?...See MoreWhere did everyone find their shoes?
Comments (23)Warning: for my sister's wedding, I was making her dress. My bridesmaid's dress was just a wee bit too long. "No problem" I thought, "I'll just wear heels" without thinking that I never wear heels. I ended up stepping on the hem of the dress and falling down the stairs at her reception. I got some ugly bruises, but amazingly, no broken bones. So first off, if you're wearing heels for the first time, BE VERY CAREFUL, especially on steps! You may want to ask the seamstress to pin up the hem just a little bit more than normal (1/4" to 1/2") to give you less to trip over. Secondly, there is a happy ending. After swearing off heels forever, I was tempted by some really cute sandals and discovered I can wear them comfortably and without mishap. I think they are called "wedges"--the bottom of the shoe is solid from heel to toe rather than the heel being separate. I know I'm not describing them well, but I've linked to a picture. Good luck!

Gooster, they are merely living out the modern dream of beng the stars of their own life show. Theirs must be a costume drama :-). adding, my comment sounds unkind on second reading. If they are historians or have a special interest in a certain period, or are theater folk who want costumes to evoke past roles or performances, or their grandparents or great grandparents were immigrants from a certain country in a particular time period, I could certainly understand the significance of period costuming and its importance to the couple! Otoh, if they are just orchestrating their wedding for the cool pictures and it reflects nothing about their shared or individual history or interests, then my original comment about being the stars of their own show might well describe the situation. In any case, it's their party :-)...See MoreNot as sexy as wedding shoes
Comments (36)I am sorry that I haven't responded to each person individually... but I appreciate all that everyone has contributed!! More than you know.. because shoe shopping has become sad and stressful so your input and suggestions makes it much better. Yeonassky, I am not sure why you'd think I'd lambast you-- or want you to delete your post. I very much appreciate your insight. Spreading my toes while I walk won't help me but it's surely possible it will help someone.. as these shoe suggestions will likely help others as well-- even if they won't work for me. Daisy, funny-- I thought you were the one who recommended kork ease. My sister loves Born but they've never fit me well. I have been looking at that first sandal but even with the straps, they'll be too high. 1.5" is about my max, I think. I am actually thrilled that the 1.5" platform above worked for me-- they don't usually. (however, I am saying that without walking on a sidewalk with lines and cracks.. and a curb). I do love a cork heel! Tina, I don't really like toes out with suits. I feel like a suit needs a sleek, tailored look. Of course, on our hottest/most humid days, I don't usually wear a suit. I also like the shoe with the white spots-- it's a cole haan but I haven't been able to find it in my size :( What I'd really like for summer is a flat shoe with both bone and black. I've seen a d'orsay like that in past seasons but not now that I want one! I agree that the tortoise is best for fall-- the shoe style itself is best for fall. Maybe I am being conservative regarding what shoes I'd wear with a suit.. I'll think about it a bit. :) Again.. thank you all. I am very sorry I haven't responded to each!...See Moremichelle_phxaz
