Gwen Stefani | ShoeBlog

The quintessential, intrepid, modern bride wrote Shoeblog asking:

I am a future bride who has just tried on her wedding dress. Inspired by Gwen Stefani, my dress is white and fuschia (bright bright pink). I had a dream - an actual dream about the shoes I wanted.

Silk or Satin Fusica knotted peep toe platform shoes (also because of my love of LAMB platforms!)

But now I would settle for something like that in white. Does my dream shoe exist? I’ve looked everywhere!

Gwen Stefani’s wedding dress

After feeling quite honored to be given a chance to participate in this reader’s memorable wedding (I’m a sucker for love stories), this little shoeblogger got her wakeup call and got busy scouring the web. After all, she didn’t want to shatter anyone’s dreams.

First stop, L.A.M.B. shoes by Gwen Stefani. Sadly, while there were many great shoes by Gwen, the stars did not seem to be aligned for the bride-to-be and her source of inspiration…at least not this round.

Luckily, this season is all about the bright, bold colors so our search continued.

There were the Very Prive Pumps by Christian Louboutin sans knot. But the shoes seemed more flashy than classy for such a special occasion. This is one event where the woman and not the shoes should shine brightest.

Jimmy Choo had the classy nailed down these silk sandals. But the fussy shoeblogger didn’t think the hue was bright enough nor was there a platform.

Stuart did look pretty in pink peeptoes but the wedding ring (and possibly a understated bracelet, necklace, or earrings) is all the bling you need.

These satin dyable shoes showed promise but, despite the ‘hot pink’ dye, lacked a certain undescrible luster.

The same can be said for the Payless dyeable shoes. But perhaps I just lack imagination.

And just when hope was about to fade away, these Nine West pumps were discovered. Satin? Check. Fuschia? Check. Knotted? Check. Peep toe? Check. Platform? Semi-check. They are also a relatively modest cost of $93 with free shipping. I’m sure that the money saved can easily be applied to a number of other wedding related items.

To our future bride, we hope we’ve made your dreams come true or at least guided you closer to finding the perfect wedding shoes. We also offer our congratulations on your upcoming nuptials, a wish for a lifetime of love and happiness, and much success in your shoe adventures.
