Add Meaning to Your Celebration
Ok — admittedly a shoe theme party has the potential for being a bit narcissistic. Elevate it to an entirely new level by indicating on your invitation, “In lieu of gifts, please donate to the “High Heals Foundation,” a wonderful organization dedicated to raising funds to develop methods for early diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer and aiding in the discovery of a cure through research, advocacy, and education. Another option — if you enclose your floral elements in small plastic baggies you will preserve your centerpiece shoes so you can donate them to your local women’s shelter after your celebration. z

Centerpieces
z I searched and search for these fabulous “platform flower vases” designed by the Berlin fashion-design duo Scherer González and debuted at their spring/summer fashion show 2009 during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin. Unfortunately, I cannot find where to buy them. So if anyone finds them, please email me. They would be absolutely perfect for a high end shoe theme party centerpiece. zz In the meantime, the closest acryllic shoes I could find are these cute platform sandals with pink pink or red roses (mix and match the colors). I recommend adorning them with fresh flowers, and if you are in the mood to go way over the top, add some jewels and large brightly colored feathers, mini boas or even artful edibles. The best part … they are on sale at Endless.com for only $27.56 a pair! zz

If you don’t like the roses in the shoe and prefer a simpler clear cinderella shoe to which to add flowers, consider mixing a matching a variety of styles.

If you want to go way over the top consider using a flower centerpiece base with an acryllic rod inserted in the middle. attach (hot glue)) the acryllic, or any, shoe flower vase on top. This way you have a chic centerpiece with height, yet designed so your guests easily can speak to one another across the table.

Another centerpiece option
Looking for a completely different take — create centerpieces from other fantastically designed shoes — the more artrageous the better. Endless.com, Amazon.com, and House of Brides all carry a large selection, many of which can be dyed any color. Use shoes, plain or even jeweled, as vases and planters. Fill with flowers or large feathers, or both! (Be sure to enclosing your floral elements in small plastic baggies in order to preserve the shoes so you can donate them to your local women’s shelter after your celebration.) Here are just a few ideas.

I have no idea how much these cost but paper artist Carlos N. Molina creates stunning and intricate high heel miniature paper sculptures. If not prohibitively expensive, you might even stuff the toes with personalized chocolate candies or jelly belly jelly beans
