    So bummed, after much trolling through pages and pages on shoes online and looking in stores, I finally found a picture on Google on my dream wedding shoe......but then I seen they are Christian Louboutin's Miss Gres Zeppa and quite frankly, I can't justify spending almost $500 on a pair of shoes. If anyone knows of a very similar show please point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance. :)

    Those are beautiful....I love just about anything in purple. I already have a pair of shoes similar though, same color too. ;) I should have been more specific, needs to be a wedge......oh how I love wedges! Thanks for your input!!!

    I seen those ones.....I do like them. :) Thanks. I will be keeping them in mind. I just hate that my dream shoes are so costly, they are perfect, just perfect- don't you hate that!? :P

    I know exactly how you feel! My dream shoes were the $1000+ Louboutin Very Brode pumps (the red with the black chinese knotwork). Ugh.

    @chicklet1587: Those are knockoffs. I SO would not buy knock-off Louboutins. Ive seen people have some VERY bad experiences with that.

    @zippylef: oh! that would explain why they are so much cheaper! I didn't look that closely at them!

    You ladies are fantastic, thanks so much for all the fab shoe links! The "knockoff" shoes.....they look just fine to me, but still- I can't justify spending $300 on shoes, I know they are for my wedding, but I just can't do it- I'm too thrifty and I know I'm just paying for the name, shame really because they are perfect. :P

    I may purchase one or two pairs from the links, maybe not for the wedding- I could wear them anytime, I love purple and I love wedge heels. Thanks again for the help, it's absolutely appreciated!

    @Leafy: @evalague: They "look just fine" because the websites use the designers photos to advertise them, not their own. A girl on here ordered some and posted a whole thread about how awful they ended up being, I'll see if I can find it. They dont fit right, they're poorly made, the materials are poor, obvious stitching, decorations falling off, there is a whole host of problems. They are still way too expensive to juistify the quality you get. If you really want Louboutins, save your pennies and get REAL Louboutins.

    Here's the thread: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/just-ordered-my-christian-louboutin-knock-offs

    Zippy: Wow, that poor girl, those shoes looked nothing like the originals. What a bummer!!! I wouldn't buy the originals or the knockoffs of the shoes I like, I just can't justify paying anymore than $200 for a pair of shoes- they may be higher quality, but in my eyes still not worth that much and I believe people just pay for the names. Call me thrifty I guess. I know I'd spend the whole time wearing them worried that a mark would get on them, especially as they are velvet- eek! :)
