First. Post. Ever.

Let this moment go down in world history. Petals N Stilettos has arrived!! Honestly I don't know what better describes me than a blog about amazing flower arrangements and shoes (and everything a wedding or event has in between!). While planning my own wedding I've realized that I really have a passion for all things pretty and want to share it with everyone, but I'm quite positive my bridesmaids are tired of email chains that resemble the following:


Me: "OMG! You guys, look at how adorable this centerpiece is!!"
1st bridesmaid: "So cute! That'll look great with your venue!!"  (see this is why she's my MOH)
2nd bridesmaid: "Did you change your color scheme again?"
3rd bridesmaid: "I thought you already decided on your centerpiece?"
Me: "Oh I did decide, and no I'm not changing, I just love this and thought you guys would too."
2nd bridesmaid: "Can you start sending these types of emails to my personal email and not my work? I'm pretty sure my boss is going to catch on to the wedding planning with the 10+ emails a day about flowers, shoes, and whether or not to include umbrellas in the margaritas"


So here I am, taking the pressure off all my single bridesmaids who obviously don't have the same passion for pretty as I do (or maybe they're just sick of it since they've been hearing me obsess for years) and sharing these wonders with YOU! 

First off. Can we please talk about this gorgeous (and reasonably priced at $69) stiletto?! It comes in 9 fab colors, but right now I'm completely crushing on all things deep purple. I've really been contemplating what type of shoe to wear for the wedding. While I live in 4 inch stilettos I know that running around on Spanish tiles all day is going to have me barefoot by nightfall. Plus I'm pretty clumsy. Not just a little clumsy, but clumsy to the point where my mom is dreading the fact that the bridal room is on the 2nd floor of the venue and the only way down is stairs that are at the back of the room where all the guests will be staring as I make my entrance. Let's just pray I don't eat it. So this has been my dilemma; do I sacrifice beauty (that no one is really going to see until I obviously lift my dress up to show them) in order to save me a trip to the ER on my wedding day? Decisions. Hence why I love this shoe. 3" heel, supportive back and side strap and no front platform. This is definitely in the top 25 of contenders (Don't judge me. I told you I'm having a dilemma!)
