Noting how anything related to weddings seem to be on the pricier side these days, many are resorting to DIY their wedding. This is great because you have control over what you want, especially in making your wedding that extra special and intimate!
Earlier in the year, I was given the honors to DIY a pair of wedding shoes for a friend. Being the practical one as she is, she decided on a pair of comfortable peep-toe kitten heels that she would also be able to wear for work. She showed me some designs that she had in mind, and wanted to embellish the front and back of the shoe. So below are photos of the shoes, and some steps on how to DIY them. Read on more:
What you need:
Always try out designs onto the shoes before gluing them on. Here, I decided on a leaf motive. I started in a 'V' shape, and glued the rhinestones further up. Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area as the E6000 glue is strong smelling. For each rhinestone that is stuck on, press on it lightly for a minute before moving on to the next rhinestone.
For the back of the heels, follow the structure of the pair of heels so that the rhinestones are fully adhered onto the surface of the heels. As usual, try out a few designs first before gluing the rhinestones onto the heels. Here, I started from bottom-up. Let the glue dry completely for at least 24 hours for best lasting results.
Voila! Transform a pair of normal heels into wedding shoes, and personalize to your own taste and preference.

I was so happy to see my friend looking absolutely gorgeous in her wedding heels. It complemented her wedding dress, and overall style. The back of the heels definitely added an edge and I am so glad that she loved it! They are a beautiful couple, and I wish them all the love and happiness in their marriage together.
