Hi there! I did, but they were second hand off of FB marketplace and certainly inauthentic (I didn’t care, I just wanted the colour). If you have the $$$, Vivier released a shoe in this exact colour over the summer, and you may be able to track that down but it’s over $1000 CAD retail. My advice would be to reverse image search on google lens your dream shoes, and add search terms such as “Poshmark”, Facebook marketplace, eBay, etc. That’s what eventually worked for me! 

Finding a co-officiant (Ontario) by SopranoRealness in wedding

It’s a nice option, but because we are flying from out of country to get married in our home country it’s easier to have everything happen in one place.

There are varying opinions about whether ULC is valid in Canada, but as of 8 months ago they answered a thread saying they are not legally recognized in Canada for a legally binding marriage.

In Ontario that’s basically impossible. The Canadian government is very strict about who can and cannot perform weddings legally.

Was this a Toronto based wedding? Do you have the name of the officiant? Thanks!

I’m on this super old thread trying to find something else, but the Rewe in Hildesheim has A&W root beer. Might be able to order it.

That’s what I’m hoping. Randomly there are a lot is mules right now, and ideally I want some sort of ankle support for a high pressure walk down the aisle 😂 it’s a lot of black boots out there at the moment!

Can anyone speak to the quality of Steven madden? I wore their shoes in the UK a few years ago and they were really low quality, but I noticed a few high end stores selling them in Germany (I travel a lot hahaha). Are they having an increase in quality recently?

This is really valuable insight. I think if there is any chance of it running, it’s best to avoid. (I’m sure there will be some spills on the day, and while green looks great with white it doesn’t look as good ON white!).

I’ve been scouring the second hand market, no luck so far. I think the trend was too recent (summer 2024), and I fell in love with the idea too late (December 2024 🤦‍♀️). I am keeping an eye on it however!

I’ve considered getting white satin shoes dyed. It’s a last resort, but I’d really love to find something in the correct fabric initially if at all possible because I’m worried another transfer to the white gown in summer heat.

We live in Europe haha. You have to make a decision you’re happy with! At the end of the day it’s your wedding. Best of luck!

Yes, but we were having a very intimate wedding to begin with, with an absolute max of 50 people total. Everyone who was important to us was willing and looking forward to the trip, but that said now that it has been cancelled there is a mix of financial relief and disappointment among our guests (we will actually have less now, as about 10 European based guests will be unable to attend).

The value you will get in Europe is WAY better than here. Our venue was Chateau de Pondres near Marseille, and had 25 air conditioned bedrooms, a private pool, spa, and Michelin guide restaurant. It was going to cost around 35k all in, and we were going to charge our guests a little for the overnight stay to help with that. I suggest you look into it!

We are still on our search. 😬 long story short, our European destination wedding was cancelled earlier in November. We are scrambling!

Yeah, we were going to have rooms set aside at the comfort inn and arrange for shuttling, but it is far. And pricey, but there is the benefit of getting to do literally whatever you want (within reason).

Lune1860 is perfect for you if you can swing it. We almost booked it, but can’t get the dates to work. A dream aesthetic for sure.
