Because my taste in shoes is usually fairly boring, I wanted to branch out for the wedding color-wise. I am really sick of all of my black shoes! And then I saw Chasing Paradise's post on the Caparro’s Whisper Slide.
I suddenly wanted…..no NEEDED polka dot shoes for my wedding. However, nothing that I wanted came in my size (10) and heel length (not too high b/c CP is only three inches taller than me). So frustrating.Next, I found these adorable shoes from Charles David (the check slide). 
Also not found anywhere on the internet in my size. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I have visited two different Macy’s shoe departments. I have gone to DSW. I have visited numerous other chain shoe stores. Nothing. At this point, I should just wear a pair that I already own and simply not care.
I will be switching into silver flip flops for the reception anyway.
*sigh*
Sidenote: I’m really sad that I have gotten so wrapped up in something as silly as shoes. As cute as both of those shoes are up there, how often would I get to wear them really? I don’t believe in buying shoes and only wearing them once. Thank goodness I haven’t told CP about my quest for cute wedding shoes- he would certainly make fun of me (which would be totally warranted!!).

So would it be acceptable to wear flip flops under my wedding dress? I’m not too worried about the “flip-flop” sound as the guitarist will be playing as I walk down the aisle anyway. I have to find something with a bigger heel anyway because the ceremony is outdoors on grass. And I know that technically I can wear whatever footwear I want as it is MY wedding day. But would it be weird????
I can’t cut and paste the flip flop picture as the website says that it is copyrighted won’t let me right click on it. But the flip flops are found here.
Thoughts?????

Whatever I do it has to be soon as my dress fitting is in two weeks and I MUST have the shoes I plan to wear by then!!!

I was SHOCKED at how difficult it is to locate wedding shoes. Most stores that carry them carry no more than 2-3 styles at best. I never thought it'd be so difficult.
However, I finally found a hidden gem right here in Chicago. An adorable boutique with a back room filled with gorgeous wedding shoes (including flip flops!). Price ranging from $50 to $450! If you ever happen to be in the area, I'll send you directions!
Everyone I know who wanted something other than traditional white shoes for their wedding had SUCH A HARD TIME finding something. Myself included.
Nothing wrong with flip-flops! I've seen brides in flip-flops, brides who were barefoot... it's your day! Nobody will judge.
Ugh, wedding shoes! I spent longer hunting for shoes for my ivory colored dress than I did for the dress!
I'm not a huge fan of flip flops, but that's only because of safety reasons. Some flops can get really slippery when your feet get sweaty. It would be awful to be slipping around and twist an ankle at your wedding!
I'm sorry you are having a tough time finding a cute pair of shoes, but I saw go with flip-flops! You'll feel a lot more comfortable in them.
I'm flattered that you liked the ones I selected so much! I wish they'd had them in your size.
It was such a f*@#ing pain finding shoes that weren't any of the following: white, ivory, gold, silver, UGLY, etc. I'm in love with the ones I picked. I know I'll wear them again. As for your predicament, wear whatever makes you feel good and comfortable! No one but you will even know anyway! :)
