ooooooooo very pretty huni

I got the first pair which are lovely, but once I saw my dress I did not think they would go with it so got another pair which looked delightful in the pic but not as good when they arrived. I was going to just go with the first pair as they did actually go with the dress, and then had a thought about having shoes in a colour from our colour scheme, found those, should have been £75 and paid £15 brand new for them!

you all have amazing shoes i have had 3 pairs and i am def stopping now on these:-

They are lush shoes. Love them.

They are lovely Linzi. You can see the pearlescent on the back of the heel on the first piccie. Lovely.

Lovely pairs of shoes ladies.

MrsEminson2B I love yours as they were very nearly my choice too (or something similar anyway!)

They are all gorgeous girls!
I havent got mine yet, will have to have flat shoes though as H2B is a shorty lol xxx

I love that colour! and the gems on them are fab :)

Mrseminson2be, where did you get your shoes? They're amazing.
Also, mrs Mann, your shoes looked great!
Eeeee shoes :) lol

I fell in love with these at the first wedding show we went too, even after trying others on I still went back to them :)
Carys by Rainbow club, dyed in cadbury purple to match the colour theme! x

Won't let my upload the picture, so this is the website -LINK NOT ALLOWED

this was mine before i did a lot more work on them, am slowly going to cover them completely. i am having issues uploading photos to my laptop at the moment but will try and get some better ones

They are all gorgeous! I'm jealous, I can't find any low flatted shoes which are pretty :(

Elliekitty try Irregular choice - I got some lovely kitten heel shoes for dancing in! pics in my album :-)

I haven't yet bought these but I'm 100% they are the ones :) I'm going to go next month to the JC bridal boutique to get them hopefully

I agree Natalie, I've known since I can remember I would want JC's for my wedding :)

My budget wouldnt have stretched for JC's for me :(

I'm a shoe addict lol; I have 3 pairs of JC's (5 if you include my flip-flops and bridal shoes), and 6 pairs of Ginas (7 if you include my second bridal pair lol), as well as some Dolce and Gabbana and Kurt Geigers. I find them so much more comfortable than 'regular' shoes, and rarely buy non-designer heels any more (though I get all mine in the sale or at sample sales; so the most I've paid, bar my wedding shoes, is £240, and that was for a £600 pair of shoes). Also, I've found they just don't date if you buy wisely; my first pair of JCs are 10 years old now, and you'd never guess in a million years. Whereas all my high street shoes seem to date within like a year! So I consider them an 'investment' lol ;-)

Their after sales is also really good; the elastic went on my fave JCs (I wear them ALL the time, they're really versatile and easy to walk in), and it cost £15 to have both replaced, and I also paid £45 to have the heels re-covered; they pulled out a whole swatch book of different fabrics and leathers, and they were back to me within 5 days, over Xmas! I was really pleased.

I need some Loubs; also some Manolos. I feel like my shoe collection isn't complete with those designers missing lol ;-)

mmm, tempted into getting some bridal JCs. You can always wear them again can't you?! lol

Id love a pair of Loubs, more than Choos but I cant wear a big heel due to a bad back. So it would seem a waste for me :(

You need to explain to the other half it's an investment :) lol x

natalie: see, I don't like Loubs as much, I have a weird thing about the red soles, I really hate red.. But I feel like I 'should' have some lol

OleH: my justification for the whopping £600 (was nearly £800; got lucky and got a huge discount on the Gina's, but would have paid £800) spent on shoes was that, unlike the dress, they'd be worn time and time again after the wedding. I have never understood the logic in spending £1k plus on a dress you'll wear once, than scrimping on shoes that you can wear over and over. Also, it was really important to me to be comfortable on the day; I can wear my designer shoes for hours on end without them rubbing, or making the soles of my feet burn, because of how well they fit, how soft the leather is, and how well they're made. I know that if I'd bought cheaper shoes (I do own shoes from numerous high-street stores and find that without exception, they all eventually rub or make my feet burn; typically I can cope for a few hours max, and limit being on my feet) they would have hurt; and I really didn't want that.

So my thoughts are that if you can afford them, you might as well treat yourself! :-)

I think its the red sole that attracts me to them! I love the colour and just want to be able to show them off, they're all reallly high though!

These were mine. I loved them and they are still immaculate as I had another pair for the outside shots!

suzky: I don't have any Loubs I'm afraid; however, I know that the big department stores in London do discount them in the sale, though typically it's only around 30% off initially, and you need to get in quick if you're a size they don't stock as many of, or a very popular size (I'm a size 6 so have to be pretty quick off the mark lol)

Of my 5 pairs of JCs, my flip-flops were bought from a department store with my dad's discount (20%); another pair from the same store, half-price in the sale plus an additional 20% off (dad again lol; they were my first pair); then 2 pairs were bought from JC stores at 50% off, and the last pair were full-price.

My Ginas have all been bought either from their store in Sloane Street, or their website; if you sign up to their mailing list they said you a discount code for an extra 20% off their sale items (which are all already 50% off) twice a year; on average, I've got them at 65-70% off RRP.

My most recent purchase, my Dolce and Gabbana's, were 60% off at a sample sale in London. If you search for London sample sales, there's a website which lists them; they have a variety of designers (clothes, jewellery and bags as well as shoes), and discounts are typically 60-90%

HTH! :-)
