When we put the call out for beautiful, colorful wedding shoes, we had NO idea how many incredible shoes would end up in our inbox. Even more amazing? Entire weddings planned around the colors found in the shoes! Just fabulous!
Amber Hughes, a wedding photographer in Vancouver, Canada sent in photos from Adrian & Dino’s Wedding, and we just couldn’t stop raving over them! How incredible are those blue Manolo Blahniks?
But even more stunning is seeing that blue repeated throughout all the details of their wedding day!
Adrian’s dress was custom made for her by Jill McKinnon, a dress maker of 25+ years, who lives on Westham Island in East Ladner. Adrian had fallen in love with a high end designer dress that was out of her budget, so she worked with Jill to create something similar but with her own unique twist. Having an experienced dress maker create your dress allows for the little details that make a dress special to be incorporated – her dress even included pockets, perfect for tissues!
All the bridesmaid dresses were custom made to each girl’s taste. What the couple did is purchase a huge bolt of fabric in the material they wanted and then sent each girl on their way to have a custom cocktail length dress made. The girls are from all over, so Adrian didn’t even see all of the dresses until the day before the wedding. I love how each dress so beautifully represents each girl, yet they all compliment each other so well!
They both got ready at their parent’s homes before the wedding.
The flowers were done by Michelle at Petals and Papery. She also handled the decor and wedding planning.
Their wedding ceremony was held at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church, Vancouver BC, and their reception was held at The Law Courts Inn, Vancouver BC.
Their wedding cake was made by Jill from The Uncommon Cake. Jill even made the cake dairy free for Adrian & Dino!
At the end of the night, Adrian and Dino did an amazing surprise salsa dance for their first trip around the dance floor as man and wife! Their DJ was John Mazzei. His father, Vick Mazzei, is a well known DJ in the local Italian community. When Vick was busy that night, John stepped in to help them out.

LOVE LOVE LOVE those shoes – I have them!
FWIW they are called “Something Blue” and are from the Sex and the City Movie. They are the shoes Carrie leaves in the closet, Big proposes with and she gets married in!
Holy! What amazing photos and what style and creativity of the bride and the dresses.

I do have to say how much I LOVE those shoes! Yes, Corey Ann is correct, they do make a very famous appearance in the SATC movie and from that moment on, I have been obsessed! The perfect way to add your “Something Blue” in my opinion.
