Let's continue with our shoes series. Since we have flip flop before, of course we will take a look at some high heels that will make you look even taller and stunning!

A pair of comfortable high heel is very important. (Just in case if you do not plan on changing to flip flop later the night) This gorgeous high heel will be your best friend for the day!

Every time when people look at a bride, I'm guessing, first would be the gown, jewelries, the flower bouquet, makeup and hair...but what else? Maybe not that many people will pay attention to the shoes since they are always underneath the dress and traditional white. BUT, what if you pick a pair of high heel that match with your wedding color? This can show people how creative and detail-oriented you are and as well to bring in more color to your wedding.

How colorful can your shoes be? Here are some ideas for you ~

Let's begin with the Top 10 Fashion Colors for Fall 2009


American Beauty — this flattering true red is neither harsh nor over-the-top. Designed to suit all skintones, this warm but robust hue can be blended with almost any shade

Nomad — another timeless neutral which falls between light gray and beige serves as an anchor for more robust colors

Purple Heart — sitting somewhere between true purple and lilac, this refined tone is soft and sensual

Rapture Rose — represents all that is new and fresh about this fall’s designs. With nurturing and feminine tones, this color plays upon the vibrancy of last season’s fuschia but is toned down a little with soft pink. This key shade transcends clothing into cosmetics and accessories

Honey Yellow — a warm and welcoming yellow with a hint of honeyed beige. A perfect partner to Burnt Sienna for a wintry feel

Warm Olive — a rich yellowy green, reminiscent of an olive in a martini, which, according to Pantone's Fall 2009 report “makes all other colors come alive.”

Iron — represents the “new black” of the season. Neither a true gray nor brown it falls more in the category of a cross between slate and gunmetal. This serves as a grounding color for all other tones

Majolica Blue — adding an exotic feel to the color group this cross between teal blue and navy complements oranges and purple hues perfectly

Burnt Sienna — more a pinkish, earthy orange, reminiscent of Mediterranean terracotta roof tiles. Warm and comforting, probably the most-fall like of all the Panetone shades

Crème Brûlée — needs no explanation for those who love its namesake, the delicious French desert. Providing one of fall’s classic neutrals, this paired down mix of gray and ivory beige looks good enough to eat!
