Posted June 27, 2012 by EmmalineBride | ♥ 4 Comments - Leave a Comment!

Happy Wednesday! Today, we’re talking about DIY wedding shoes: how to customize, colorize, and add your own personalized touch. If your wedding shoe budget is small (or non-existent) – or you just want to get crafty this weekend – we have great news: many of these ideas are easy to do, friendly on your wallet, and re-wearable! Plus, no one will know they were D-I-Y-ed. Read on for the full scoop…

DIY Wedding Shoes

First, let’s talk custom, handmade finds just for you:

1. Custom Heels

Finding a pair of heels in a particular color can be a pain. Skip afternoons running from store to store and select the color you love from Paris XOX instead. There are TONS of custom colors available. The image above showcases a pair of their blue heels for inspiration. Here’s another pair we love with custom embellishment added…

We also love these sparkling heels upcycled by Pressley and Co.

2. Handmade Slippers

Not a heels-wearing girl? No problem! Walk down the aisle in sweet slipper comfort with a bridal look. These custom slipper flats are made for the bride by Good Little Things.

3. Shoe Clips

Already own a pair of heels you’re planning to wear, but want to add your own personalized touch? We love these ruffly shoe clips by Eva June…

… and these feathery shoe clips by French Knot Weddings (photo by Jade and Matthew Take Pictures)…

… and vintage peacock feather shoe clips by LovMely (photo by Wes Roberts Photography)…

4. I Do Stickers

Add a fun shoe accessory to your bridal shoes (and something blue, too!) with ‘I Do’ stickers by MonAmour Boutique:

Now, let’s talk DIY tutorials…

5. DIY Scarf Flats

Turn ordinary flats into more fabulous ones with … scarves! It’s true: get the tutorial from Stars for Streetlights to make these adorable flats:

6. DIY Dip Dyed Bridal Flats

Love ombre? Dip dying? You can now make DIY dip dyed bridal flats with this tutorial by Swell Mayde:

7. DIY Gold Toe Flats

Beautify a pair of boring flats with a little gold paint! Say Yes to Hoboken shows us how it’s done.

8. DIY Bow Sandals

This one is my (Emma here!) personal favorite. It’s perfect for summer weddings! Spotted at Swell Mayde.

What will you rock down the aisle?
