Marie Antoinette Bridal Shoes
The incredibly beautiful shoes that inspired the Marie
Antoinette bridal fashion shoot----but then never got used.
So I know that I am not the only lady out there to have made
an indulgent internet purchase of fancy shoes---the sort of purchase that then sits
in mint condition still in the box. Well
these fantastic shoes “Marie Antoinette” by Irregular Choice were once such
purchase by yours truly a number of years ago.
I don’t remember having a specific reason for the purchase. I am sure it was nothing more than thinking
they were pretty, and I seem to vaguely remember thinking that I might be Marie
Antoinette for Halloween. The costume
never happened, and the box went to the top shelf in the closet for a number of
years.
Along comes Deborah Villanueva---Custom fashion
designer. We had worked on a number of
spectacular bridal fashion shoots together featuring Deborah’s custom dresses
but both of us wanted to do something outside of the box with bridal
fashion. I remembered these fabulous
shoes that I had safely tucked away in my closet J They were beautiful, they were spanking new,
and they were just what we needed to top off a Marie Antoinette inspired Bridal
fashion shoot. We were both excited and
ready to get to work on our next joint project.
We both couldn’t believe how quickly the dress came
together, the perfect girl to play Marie fell into my lap, and we even found
the perfect sunken garden for the location.
Rotary Botanical Gardens in Janesville was the ideal location and it was
all set. The weather was perfect and the
shoot was a dream. We all knew we were
making magic even as it was happening and then the shoot was a wrap. I was gathering up our gear and I noticed the
shoes…. Still in their box… still
beautiful.. still unworn… and I just found it hilarious. Even if these shoes forever go unworn, they
have more than served their purpose.
They were the catalyst that inspired the entire fashion shoot.
And since the shoes never appeared in the fashion shoot---it
is only fair that I show them now.
Enjoy! The shoes that
inspired the Marie Antoinette bridal fashion shoot---but then never got
used. J
