Never teh Bride –

Thank you so much for this! And thank you everyone for your suggestions! I’m super excited to look through everything – Leah even made me an AMAZING spreadsheet with all of the shoes she found. It’s on my wedding blog if you feel like stopping by.

Thanks again so much!

Colleen: Those Tara Tangos are YUMMY!

JaneC: I will admit that I shied away from straight leather because I thought it would look too plain.

Jennie: I did the same thing, but when I poked into the results I found that a lot of the shoes that came back actually had higher or lower heels for whatever reason! I tried to narrow the search results with quotes and such, but that appears to break their search engine.

I went to Zappo’s shoes, typed in 2 1/2 heel, red and 5 pages popped up. Some were wedges but there were so gorgeous heels and sandals. Did the same on DSW’s site.

I recently had a hard time locating red strappy sandals for a dress – everything out there seems to be heavy or wedgy. I finally found something in patent on sale at Amazon by Issac Mizrahi. Not a big help, but I can definitely sympathize!

I had a real problem when I wanted red shoes for my wedding, too. I thought at first that leather wouldn’t look right, but I finally ended up with non-patent, raspberry-colored leather, and it looked beautiful with my ivory satin gown. Of course, my gown was just long enough that no one even noticed my shoes until I started dancing at the reception. Don’t be afraid to try regular leather even if it’s not traditionally considered to be as formal as satin or patent leather.

I second the ballroom shoe recommendation! Tara Tango Shoes http://www.22tangoshoes.com/ are beautiful and several of them are very 40′s inspired, which I love.

At the bottom of this post (http://class-factotum.journalspace.com/?entryid=1803&h=ilene) is a photo of the red shoes my friend Ilene wore when she got married. She danced all night long.

I have those Caparros in off-white. They are good for standing and dancing.

I have the perfect solution, ballroom heels! The ones from ekclothing are very reasonably priced, and you can specify heel height, including the option of 2.5" You have to click on each style to see the colors offered, since most of them come in multiple colors, including lots in red. I own these in both the leopard and the red satin and love them.

I just bought these: http://tiny.cc/9rcsN and they are comfortable, have been easy to break in, and may just be the perfect shoe. And they’re very, very red!
