For many brides, a big portion of your wedding planning (and budget) is focused on your amazing dress (like this non-conventional tea length), but we are here to remind you not to forget about your shoes! We’ve drummed up a couple of easy two-material hacks for you to make your wedding shoes completely customized. These hacks take no time at all (but do involve a good amount of idle dry time), so you will have plenty of time left over to hand letter your unique wedding seating display.
Something Blue Hack
Materials and Tools:
– wedding shoes
– blue nail polish
– leather paint sealer or nail polish top coat
– foam brush
Instructions:
1. Paint on the nail polish to the sole of the heel.
2. Once dry apply a top coat over the nail polish.
Grab your favorite hue of blue nail polish and give your heels a new blue sole. #Louboutingoesblue
Add a thin coat over the area that has the grips. Pro Tip: You don’t want to actually fill in the crevices with nail polish — it would make for a slippery disaster!
We covered the nail polish with a matte top coat. This is totally optional for the look you want to achieve. If you like it glossy, skip the matte.
We love this hidden surprise of teal. #tealaddiction
Not a fan of blue? Customize the underside of your shoe with your favorite hue or a color from your wedding palette.
Something New Hack
Materials and Tools:
– lace
– flat backed crystal gems
– flat backed gold gems
– E6000
– scissors
– toothpick
Instructions:
1. Trim lace to the length of the heel and attach using E6000.
2. Once the lace is dry, use E6000 to apply flat backed gems in a pattern of your choice.
Trim the lace to fit the spine of your shoe. Attach the lace with E6000 and let dry overnight.
Use a toothpick and E6000 to apply the gems to the spine of the shoe. Get creative! Maybe replicate a gem cluster that you see on your wedding dress!
This small touch of glam is the style hack you need for your wedding.
Now call me crazy – but why not combine the two hacks together for a completely custom pair of pumps that can go way beyond your wedding day?!
