How many of us go crazy when we find the perfect pair of shoes / skinny jeans / sexy + comfy sweater that we know we’ll wear until the end of time (or at least until it completely falls apart.) For me, my wedding shoes definitely fell into that category. Yes, I fell in lust the moment I saw those perfect, strappy, gold, comfortable, goes with everything shoes. I even wore them twice before my wedding day, I couldn’t wait to get them on my feet. Three years on and those shoes have almost disintegrated but still sit lovingly on my shoe rack. Sigh – I should have bought two pairs!
My love-em-til-they-fall-apart wedding shoes
The super talented Neallie Walvatne knows exactly how this feels. Neallie’s euphoric discovery of her wedding earrings actually inspired her to start an entire line of knock-me-down-gorgeous pieces of wear-me-forever jewelry. It’s so beautiful that I want it all. I asked Neallie to share a bit of wisdom about choosing the right accessories for you wedding celebration – and here’s what she had to say:
I bought the beautiful earrings I wore on my wedding day in a little shop in Paris. I found them while roaming the boutique filled streets; the details of which little rue I was on have left me completely. The precious earrings however, I remember quite well: vintage-inspired sterling silver rounds with tiny ivory pearls and AB rhinestones. I knew the moment I saw them that I would wear them again and again, and I did – until I wore them out entirely.
This is the main question I would consider when shopping for your bridal jewelry is “Will I wear it again?” Ultimately the jewelry you choose for your big day will make you look and feel amazing, and they will continually do this for you on any ordinary day in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. It may become your go-to accessory when you’re in a hurry because it never fails. It may be the extra sparkle you need to brighten your day, or the fun and funky piece that makes every outfit complete.
Of course, you may also consider the look and feel of your wedding, the style of your gown, how you will wear your hair or whether your wedding is going to be traditional, vintage, modern or bohemian chic. With all the many options to choose from, I still say “choose jewelry that feels like you” and it will remain your favorite for years to come. I am sure of this because for years later, I smiled every time I looked in the mirror and saw my little Parisian finds dangling from my ears.
