The wedding planning process can be stressful, but every now and then you get to do something truly fun. So when I asked my dad, who’s a wedding photographer, to take engagement photos of me and my fiance, I knew it would be a highlight. I took the opportunity to try out the Gomax Gold Glitterati Pumps, which are now leading in You Choose My Bridal Shoes.
Keep reading to find out how they held up to the test, vote for your favorite pair of shoes and enter to win $40 to Lulu*s.
The Glass Slippers Debut
I love the look of The Glass Slippers because the gold is very close to my skin color and reminds me of the beige pump trend. I did feel a lot like Cinderella–very glamorous!
Since it had been raining in my parents’ area for over a month, the heels did sink into the ground. I knew this when I chose these shoes as contenders and plan on purchasing a pair of Sole Mates, which will hopefully prevent them from sinking into the grass. That being said, they were easy to clean with a damp cloth and very few sparkles came off, which impressed me.
Overall, I love these shoes. However, since I only wore them for about an hour, I worry about their wearability past that point. Once I test that, I’ll report back with my findings!

The glass slippers are gorgeous… and so is your hair! Leaving my hair alone does not result in it looking like that at all!

LOL! I <3 LOTR so I know exactly what you’re talking about!
Aww you guys look great! These are such sweet photos, and your sundress is adorable. The shoes are really cute and make your legs looks so long and fantastic like everyone else had said! And
I bet they’d look stunning peaking out from something white and long.
Thanks for all your kind compliments, Elle
GLASS SLIPPERS, GLASS SLIPPERS! OMG, those are so gorgeous on you! They are magic with your skin and so sexy you’ve got me wanting a pair.
You look fantastic in the shots. I think your pale skin is absolutely breathtaking!

LOL! I love your reaction! I’m so sad they were sold out. We’ll see how they hold up when I wear them for more than an hour.
Thanks so much for your kind compliments! I’ve been wearing my sunscreen religiously.
Oh, the big reveal of your groom! You make a lovely couple. And those shoes make your legs look great which is always reason enough to choose a pair of shoes, I think. Plus, they are princess shoes which is necessary on your big day!

You’re very right on all counts! My dress is long, but in a short dress, these shoes are awesome for leg-looking-good-ness.
Those were my vote and they look just lovely on you!

Sweet pics, Courtney. Love that the shoes made you feel glamorous and Cinderella like. Some items are just magical
.
I like the Sienna one you picked.
Thanks so much! My dad’s a great photographer!
I voted for the glass slippers as well. It’s your wedding day! You need to feel like a princess!!! I mean how many shoe changes did Kate Middleton have?? If you wear those for the ceremony/pictures, you can change into some flats for the rest of the festivities!!!!
I actually had a post similar to this the other day (http://thecardiqueen.blogspot.com/2011/05/fashion-feedback.html) I picked the shoes from Lulu’s!!
Now, my favorite bag would have to be the Lola Tweed Beige Clutch! It matches them PERFECTLY!!

AMEN! Good idea, Kenzi
I like reaching out to my blogging community to ask for help. I love your post! I think my friend just bought very similar shoes to the ones with the bows on them.
Thanks for voting
Oh, the glass slippers look SO, so pretty! I really hope they win.
My favorite purse at Lulus is the Sun Stone Woven Purse… it looks like the perfect bag to throw over my shoulder to hit up some estate sales this summer!

I totally voted for the glass slippers. I figure this is the one time when you can go absolutely as big, bold, and sparkly as you could ever want, so why not feel like you’re floating across a disco ball!
Also, LOVE the Proper Passage tote on blue, but it’s sold out, so I’ll just have to hold my horses.
So true! I liked them because they’re sparkly without being obnoxious.
i definitely have to go with the changeling three ways green bag! it is so pretty and i love that it comes in green!
voted in your wedding shoes poll!
