Green Wedding Shoes

These vintage Andrew Geller shoes were originally bought at Stefan's in Atlanta when I was a bridesmaid in Ms. Bode's wedding. For Stacey's wedding I pulled the hot pink linen tabs off and replaced them with orange gerbera daisies. Our colors were orange and we carried bouquets of green hydrangeas.

Last year I had them resoled at Peter & Sons in South Windermere shopping center. The insoles and toe embellishments were done by me and the sterling acorn brooches were purchased on eBay. Swarovski hot fix rhinestones are olivine color.

The cats were made from a Martha Stewart punch we purchased at Michael's last year. The green glitter sticker material is from my Peacock Goddess costume skull 'extras'. I ordered the sheets from Sam Flax (4 years ago).

I pleated both the taffeta and double-side satin ribbon. I chose the taffeta because the pleating was crisper. Doing this project alone took FOREVER!
