Wedding Forum - Leopard print shoes...

I know this is a really strange one, but basically i wear leopard print a lot and my friends and h2b always joke that leopard print is "my thing" lol. I'd like to include a tiny bit of it somewhere in the wedding as it's really 'me' and i know h2b and my friends/family will think it's great. What do people think of leopard print shoes for my wedding shoes? I have a long princess-style dress so they will only be on show if i show people, if you know what i mean.
I've pretty much found my dream shoes, but they were designer and 2 and a half grand lol. They were leopard print crystal shoes, so if anyone can find any of these without the massive price tag please let me know :)
I know a lot of people will find this tacky but i think it's something quirky and fun and will make my guests, so please don't be too harsh on me lol xxx

i agree if thats what you like and its part of your personality then you should include it in your day after all its your wedding and you should be able to wear what you want. so what if its not everyones cup of tea its not there wedding.

I like the idea! Go for it! I love Imelda May and she has a bit of a leopard print fetish too...

Do you have a pair you can try on with your dress? The only thing is, I was sure I wanted red shoes or black white and red shoes. Like polkadot or with a bow or something along those lines. SO I tried a pair on with my dress and because of the style of my dress, you can see my feet poking out when I walk and it looked weird, the colours just looked wrong. Thats why I went for the ivory shoes.

So I reckon try a pair on with your dress and if they're covered as you walk you'll be fine! :-)

Leopard print shoes?! - A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! Can't wait to see the wedding photos! xx

Go for it, if it's you why not! Like you say it's not a massive piece of art in the middle of the room :) x

I think it is a great idea! Especially as it is bringing a bit of 'you' into the wedding! xxx

Thanks for all the positive feedback girls :) I'm starting to get very excited about this idea now!
Thank you so much for all the links! I'll definitely check them all out xxx

I think shoes are the place you can be a bit quirky and have your own hint of colour/pattern that doesn't necessarily match everything else! Plus you can wear them again and remember your day (value for money and a nice memory all in one!)

These are only £200 from Asos

Thanks everyone :)
Soon to be mrs Mann, they're beautiful but out of my price range.
I'm going to be really awkward here but I think I want a small heel. I'm quite tall so if I have really high heels, I'll be as tall as h2b on the photos which I don't want. This is going to be a challenge! Xx

Irregular choice and iron fist do lovely ones. They're usually high, but I'll keep looking for smaller heels.
I think I'm going to try to put the crystals on myself. Someone sent me a link that shows me how to do it so I'm going to try :)

My uncles got married just over a year ago and his wife loves leopard print too. For her hen night we only went out for a meal but everyone that came had to wear one item of clothing that was leopard print.
Also at the wedding she had brought a leopard print umbrella for the photos. They looked lovely.

Good idea, soon to be mrs Mann. I was worried about buying lovely shoes and doing the crystals wrong lol.
MrsBroady2b, that sounds great!
Iluvcakes, thank you sooooo much for telling me about haute heelz! I just had a look and they are amazing! Perfect for what i want :) Thank you so much

Go for it, its your wedding and you wear what you want xx

Okay girls, found a woman who will make my dream crystal leopard print shoes :D thanks to iluvcakes!
They will cost £130, including delivery. Is that too much to spend on shoes?? What do you all think? Xxx

just had a good look at the book of face company and the shoes are amazing! i think £130 is amazing value too! xx

if you can afford it then why not go for it x

They are my dream shoes but I don't know if I can justify that kind of money on shoes :( we're on a tight budget for our wedding as I'm still struggling to find a job and we're trying to save up for a house too xxx

If they're your dream shoes I'd say go for it ... you will be able to wear them again xx

(£130 isn't bad ... mine were £250 inc dyeing to purple)

If I were to buy them, I'd use my own money not the wedding fund. But I just think I could put that money to better use.
I could try to do them myself but I don't want h2b to see them as I want them to be a surprise, and I don't know if I'd be able to make them look as good because I'd have to put crystals on following the pattern so it'll be harder than just one colour crystals. Hmmmmm... Xxx

link on your wall huni xxx

go for it joanna! ive got a turquoise and ivory colour scheme and im gonna wear turquoise shoes, bra and knickers! ive gotta make sure i match everyone else hehe x

I love that so many of us are having 'different' shoes for our wedding shoes :)
