Alright, let’s gab about them blue shoes for when you’re gettin’ hitched, you know, the “somethin’ blue” part. Folks say it’s lucky, and who am I to argue? I seen a heap of brides, and they all do it different. Some, they got a little blue ribbon, some got a blue garter, but shoes? Now that’s somethin’ you can really see.
Why Blue Heels, Ya Ask? Well, it ain’t just ’cause it’s pretty, though pretty don’t hurt none. It’s supposed to bring ya luck, ya see? Keep away the evil eye and all that. And blue, well, it’s the color of, you know, like the sky, and water, and good stuff. So, it’s kinda like wishin’ for a good, steady marriage. Makes sense, don’t it?
Now, findin’ the right blue shoes, that ain’t always easy. You got all sorts, from them high-heeled fancy things that’ll make ya taller than a corn stalk, to them comfy flats that you could run a mile in. And the shades of blue? Lord, there’s more blues than there are days in the week. You got your baby blue, your navy blue, your sky blue, your…well, you get the picture.
Pickin’ the Right Style This here’s important. You gotta think about your dress, first off. If it’s a long dress, them shoes might not show much, but you’ll still know they’re there, and that’s what counts. If it’s a short dress, well then them shoes are gonna be on display, so you gotta make ’em count.
- High Heels: If you’re used to walkin’ in ’em, go for it. They make your legs look longer, and who don’t want that? Just make sure you can actually walk in ’em without lookin’ like a newborn calf.
- Flats: If you’re gonna be on your feet all day, dancin’ and whatnot, flats might be your best bet. You don’t wanna be limpin’ around on your weddin’ day, now do ya?
- Wedges: Kinda in-between high heels and flats. They give ya some height but they’re a bit more stable. Good for outdoor weddings, so you don’t sink into the grass.
- Sandals: If you’re gettin’ hitched on the beach or in the summer, sandals can be real nice. Just make sure your toes are pretty!
And don’t forget the comfort! You’re gonna be wearin’ them shoes for hours, so make sure they fit right. Nothin’ worse than havin’ your feet killin’ you on your weddin’ day. Go try ’em on, walk around in ’em a bit, make sure they ain’t gonna give ya blisters. You can even put some little pads in ’em if they’re a bit loose.
Shades of Blue, Oh My! Like I said, there’s a whole heap of blues out there. You gotta pick one that goes with your dress and your weddin’ colors. If your dress is white, pretty much any blue will work. If it’s ivory or somethin’ like that, you might wanna go with a softer blue. And if you’re havin’ a colorful weddin’, try to match the shoes to one of the other colors.
Where to Find ‘Em? Well, you can go to them fancy shoe stores, but they’ll charge you an arm and a leg. I say, look around a bit. You might find a good pair at a department store, or even online. Just make sure you can return ’em if they don’t fit or if you don’t like ’em. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. Them sales ladies, they know their shoes.
Accessorizin’ Them Blue Shoes Once you got your shoes, you can add a little somethin’ extra. Maybe a little clip-on bow, or some sparkly jewels. Or you could get some blue shoe liners. It’s all about the little details, ya know? Makes it feel special.
After the Wedding Don’t just stick them shoes in the closet and forget about ’em! You can wear ’em again! Maybe for a fancy dinner, or a night out on the town. Or you can keep ’em as a souvenir, to remind ya of your weddin’ day. Heck, you could even pass ’em down to your daughter someday. Wouldn’t that be somethin’?
So, there ya have it. A little bit of advice on pickin’ out them blue shoes for your weddin’. It ain’t rocket science, but it’s somethin’ to think about. Just remember to pick a pair that makes ya feel good, and that you can walk in. And most importantly, have a happy weddin’ day!
