We've talked about how prom dresses can make great wedding gowns, but what about prom SHOES? Like prom dresses, prom shoes are often at a lower price point than anything with the word "wedding" attached, and they also tend to be a bit more playful and sparkly than the more chic stuff targeted at brides.

But you know what? I like playful, sparkly, and inexpensive (and I know some of you do too) so let's take a look at some prom shoes and sandals that could kick ass for your wedding day. We've got some rainbow sparkles, lots of bows, and even a couple pairs of flip-flops…

Y'all know the routine by now. I like loud shoes — even the ones I could never afford or ever walk in. If you're looking for understated this week, you're not really going to find much here — this link might be better for you if you're looking for classy.

Today's collection of VERY LOUD SHOES includes probably a few too many Betsey Johnson and Iron Fist options, including this pair of leopard print shoes with a built-in heart, and some platforms that I really should have included in my skull shoes post a few weeks ago…

Maybe it's just Sostice coming up next week, but I am doing all I can to get as much light and sparkle and glitter into my life these dark days — and so this week, that means glittering shoes.

As always, I aimed for a range here — a range of prices, a range of heel heights, a range of style (well…sort of. It's always loud up in here) and a range of size availability. Toes crossed that you find something that makes your feet sparkle.

A lot of these shoes are, ah, high concept. If you're looking for timeless romanticism, look elsewhere. These shoes most definitely do NOT fit with simple weddings week. Jeffrey Cambell's shoes defy gravity, defy the boundaries of good taste, and probably defy your more conservative family members who would get a peek at this sticking out from under your dress and be all OMG!

I bought my wedding shoes very early on, and soon became victim to major shoe envy. So I thought, how can I get dream shoes without spending all my money!? It turned out they were just missing some sparkle!

Oh Betsey, you old minx.

You still know how to design a MEAN shoe, that perfect mix of slightly vintage, a little lacey, a little funky, and a lot sexy without going into stripper heel territory.

On a whim, I just bought these TUK wedges with the insanely cute bow, and I decided it's been too long since I did a post about shoes with bows.

We've got a DIY double-feature for you today. This time it's about one of our favorite topics: OMG SHOES! We've got a tutorial for those of you who'd like to give your new wedding shoes the vintage look and for those of you who want to give your shoes a blinging upgrade.
