The Sandals are Official!!!
Thursday, August 13, 2009 | Filed in: Labels: , ,


So, my girls all loved the sandals! I am so excited to have this unique aspect incorporated into my wedding! The programs at the ceremony will probably have the story of these amazing sandals on the back, so everyone will know what my girls' feet represent. Plus, how awesome is it that these are flats and won't need to be shed to tear up the dance floor later that night!? (Do all of the exclamation points tell you how pumped I am for this?)

Here are the ribbon colors (the purple will be the color I am going to wear, the champagne will be for the girls):


I have decided to pay for the bridesmaids dresses, and the girls are buying their own sandals. However, one of the best parts about these shoes are that they don't break the bank! Due to popular demand, these sandals can be special ordered for weddings from the company, and I have been in contact with Liz from Sseco Designs to get them made- they should be very reasonably priced! Additionally, these are shoes that the girls will wear again, unlike your typical dyed pump.

A quick, important interjection

My friend Amanda so graciously got me stuck reading wedding blogs. To say I have become addicted to them is an understatement. I am especially drawn to the blogs that encourage and suggest budget saving solutions for planning your big day. One such blog, The Budget Savvy Bride, posted unique bridal footwear I wanted to share with you here. I have been searching for a unique touch to my wedding, and I think these sandals are fabulous.

Sseco Designs has partnered with a school in Kampala, Uganda to provide an income to girls transitioning from secondary school to a university. Uganda mandates a nine month period between the two stages in school to allow students to raise money for tuition. The problem is that girls are rarely given jobs during this time. The website gives a full background on the company and its mission. The money from these sandals will move the students from making sandals to becoming doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. Click on the link above and check it out!


They encourage brides to email the company to inquire about special ordering for weddings! I sent out an email tonight to ask about what is available; my bridesmaids may just be sporting these sandals... stay tuned!
