- Wedding: July 2017
I am not sure where I first saw the idea for R2D2 dress shows but I fell in love from that moment and knew I wanted them for my wedding shoes. Instead of buying them made I decided to try making them myself. I have been searching for months for the right shoes: toes had to be rounded, the inside had to be comfy (memory foam even better) with a wedge heel or flats as our ceremony is outside and the terrain will be very difficult with heels. I wanted to get my shoes prior to getting a dress as I am looking at an Etsy maker and want the proper length.
I found these shoes this weekend at a thrift store for $5. I was scared to pay too much incase I could not make my dream a reality. However I think they turned out wonderfully. I took ideas from a few different google image searches to design my very own R2D2 shoes. Now to wait 13 months to actually where them!
The lace tucked instead the shoe is to be crossed and then tied at the ankle. I just to share!
