It was really only a matter of time before my taste in loud wedding shoes led us here, ladies ... and now here we are, stomping down the glittering, campy road of sparkly-ass wedding shoes.
Really, your wedding day can feel like doing a form of drag — the fancy dress, the up-do, everyone staring at you. So why not take it a half-step over the top? Even if you're wearing a more conservative white dress, a twinkle under your hem can add a wink of camp to even a formal church wedding.
Sequins! Rhinestones! Glitter! Because if it's too loud ... you're too old. 
That in mind, I give to you my favorite glittering wedding shoes...

I desperately, desperately wanted sparkly blue flats like the ones in this post, but was completely unable to find a single pair in size 10.5 or 11.
So I settled for more mute blue shoes (velvet and satin), that now I wear at work sometimes.

Same here!

This is weird, but the best advice ever for loud shoes in sizes larger than 10: check out online shops catering to drag queens. You will find the loud shoes you want, in the sizes you seek.

This is so true. My little sister has often had to do this, she's a size 12. A drag queen shimself gave her the 411.

I actually look for boots and heels through sites like this; flats are a little fishier sometimes.

Oooh! Word to the wise, though, I own the lacy version of the Pleaser Teeze shoes, and they are 5 and 3/4" with the platform. They are pretty comfortable, but I would not want to have them on for the WHOLE shabang. They are so great, otherwise, though!

Yep, no images here too. I tested it on Firefox (which works fine) but no images display on Safari.

Yes, that worked. Didn't think it would block images like this. It's not that great of a an ad-blocker. A lot of ads still get through.

Mmm.. this is the only way I like my camp – no cabins and mosquitos for me, just sequins and glitter please!

I want to be too old. In fact, if I am old and it is too loud, I'd take it as a sign that I'm still alive and kicking. Give it up for old people!!!

Loving the sparkly shoes! I'm planning to do silver sequined pumps for our wedding – unless I can find the perfect hot pink ones.

I need those blue shoes more than I need to breathe right now! SO ADORABLE!
Elisabeth said
Hmm… I'm not getting married until next year, but I might have to indulge myself a little sooner!
AutumnSky said
Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. I'm having a hell of a time finding shoes to go with my relaxed-ish blue dress that don't clash, but are still "me". Sequins might be the answer.

{squeeee} I was going to shamelessly plug the company I work for (Report Footwear) but I see you have already listed the Signature King!
These shoes are STUNNING in person!!!

My wedding would not have been complete without my sparkly red shoes! They were second only to my husband for necessities of the day

The first wedding related item I bought after getting engaged were my shoes. Glittery sequined disco ball ballet flats. What else could a girl want?

I've fallen in love with these blue glitter converse shoes, but can't find them on sale anywhere. If anyone knows where to get them (I'm in the UK) I'd be very grateful.
