Enter Our "Show Off Your Bridal Shoes" Contest and Win Cash!
A couple of weeks ago, one of our brides sent us a great testimonial and gorgeous picture of her wedding shoes:
"As promised, here is a picture of me with my shoes, they matched perfectly with my dress ....I loved them and so did everyone else! and I even managed to wear them until at least 11:00pm! I got so many compliments on them..and the best thing is that I know I can wear them again!
I really appreciate all your help and patience, and for processing my order so quickly. Your prices are amazing, compared to the retail stores that I checked with the exact same shoes, and your customer service was fantastic. Thank you for the beautiful shoes and for being a part of my special day. I would definitely recommend Wedding Party Shoes.com to my friends and family!" - Sabrina, Canada
All you have to do is send in a digital photo of you wearing your shoes with your wedding/bridesmaid dress or a unique arrangement of your bridal shoes. Contest is open to brides, bridesmaids, photographers, or anyone else who knows how to use a camera. The shoes do not have to be purchased from Wedding Party Shoes.
