Wedding Sneakers

In my previous bridal event – January 5, 2010 – I’ve had the privilege of working with one of my coolest bride (hi lee and miko!).  She’s so down to earth, full of energy, super cool and yet simple.  In fact during their first dance as a couple, both of them wore chuck tailors and their first dance was “Forever” by Chris Brown.

Cool. Nice.  Fun.  Entertaining. 

What was so memorable that day was that Lee enjoyed dancing with her shoes.  Some of my bride-clients would change their wedding shoes during reception with a different color, different design, different style but for Lee it was totally different – from the traditional wedding shoes to a wedding sneakers (in the form of chuck tailors!)

So what I’d like to discuss right now are WEDDING SNEAKERS.   

Not so many Filipina brides have accepted the wedding sneakers style unlike in the US.  So hopefully this creates more information for my brides who are on the lookout for comfort, uniqueness and ease in walking.

Wedding Sneakers are beautiful, comfortable and affordable alternative wedding  shoes for bride on the lookout for comfort and pain free wedding day. 

The good thing about this is you can also make your own unique wedding sneakers if you’re the savvy and meticulous bride, here’s how:

1.               Buy a new pair of sneakers in any style, color or type. Make sure that they are comfortable. Walk around in them awhile in the store to be sure.

 

2.    Create your own style. Go to any craft store and purchase craft paints. Acrylic paint dries faster and is easier to use than oil paint, is odor free and washes off easily. Use this paint to decorate your shoes by adding designs or even your new name after you have been married.

3.  Fancy silk laces.   Look at the various types of craft supplies available. Check out the smaller stencils. Buy some fancy lace or ribbon to make shoe laces. Little pearls or beads can also make great decorations. These may be glued onto the shoe using a hot glue gun or sewn on using a needle and thread. Create designs with the beads by gluing or sewing them in a pattern.

4.   Finish off your frilly and fancy wedding sneakers with a bow of your choice and color scheme.

 

 

 So there, enjoy and have fun with your wedding sneakers.  It's the next big thing in the wedding industry - a trend and a great idea.
