So here it is. I’m marrying my true love in November 2023. I love the vintage 1950’s feel and look. I scoured the Internet for help in finding things that would help my wedding evoke that feel. I struggled with that, so in case my experiences can help someone else, I’m writing them down.

I’m a big Star Wars fan and member of the 501st Legion, which means I like to dress up like one of the villains from the Galaxy Far Far Away and take toys to sick kids in hospitals. My fandom led me to help found the Republic Service Organization, another fan group like the 501st, but focusing on the ladies and what it would be like if the Republic or Empire had a USO. We also go by the Imperial Service Organization.

Here’s me doing that.

I’ll probably ask for feedback on what I’ve got going so far, but I’ve happily learned a lot about planning a wedding (having a Vegas wedding, more specifically). My vendors and such might be of help to someone else. I also want to document this for years from now when things get fuzzy, as they do.

Any questions as we go, just let me know.

Shoes!!

So I've found the gown, it's magnificent. What's the next critical issue, particularly since they're going to *show*?

SHOES.

I knew I wanted Mary Jane style, ivory, and I didn't want to spend a fortune. (I can't really wear strappy shoes because my feet are 10 Wide and aren't super aesthetically appealing. I'm also 5'10" and didn't want to tower over my fiance. Plus, Mary Janes! YAY!)

There were some options out there.

These weren't available in my size. These I worried about because the heel was a little higher and I wasn't sure what I would be getting at that price point. Here are some other options I found, none of which were available in my size:

Finally landed on these, because at the time they had 10 Wide available:

Plus, you know, memory foam so I can dance the night away, woo hoo!

I didn't love the lizard embossing on them, though, so I knew I was going to do something. Did I dare DIY? For something this important, I thought not.

I started to look on Etsy for beaded shoes with the idea that if I found someone who had that skill set, maybe I could pay them to do that for me to my shoes. I found Erin:

And she did exactly what I wanted, with a really beautiful outcome.

They will fit, they will feel great, and they are gorgeous. My recommendation is that if you can't find anything sparkly enough for you, contact Erin. Her work is impeccable.
