Shoe Report

One of my current favorites when it comes to bridal fashion is the bright shoe. Yes, there are plenty of beautiful neutral options for brides, but why not have a little fun and give your bridal ensemble a shot of color?

A bright shoe can make a short dress pop or be a hidden touch of whimsy under a long gown. They photograph wonderfully (we've seen a lot of Oregon brides dive feet first into color over the past year) and, chances are, you will be dying to wear them again after the wedding.

They can be cheeky (see the red suede pump with heart embellishment), glamorous (a red satin ankle-strap), or coordinate with your wedding colors (sunny rosette peep toes for a lemon and lime color scheme).
