Ask Carley: Blue shoes for the bride

Q. I've had my eye on blue shoes for my wedding, but blue isn't one of my colors. Do I have to wear shoes to match?

A. Go for the blue shoes. We absolutely love the idea of doing something completely different with your shoes. They're part of your outfit. It's your wedding and you can do whatever you want, so have fun. With your choice, you have an added bonus. They can be your "something blue."
