Best jewel embellished flats that are perfect for a beach wedding

Naughty Monkey 'Treasure Footed' sandals, $69.99 available at ModCloth.

It seems that more and more couples prefer to wed outdoors, like on the beach. Not that I am against the fad, I actually like the idea of getting married on a more laid back setting and ambiance. Besides, I don't want to pressure my guests to wear something extra formal. Since I am into outdoor weddings, I have here some jewel embellished flat sandals that will be perfect to wear during garden or beach weddings that will suit every budget.

Rene Caovilla jeweled ankle-wrap platform sandal

I am seriously drooling over this shoe! Look at that jeweled ankle-wrap strap... this shoe is something that should be worn if you will be summoned by the maharajah or even at least during any red carpet event.

A shoe that is this gorgeous should be worn with dresses with asymmetrical hemlines to show off the sparkly Swarovski crystals. It has 5-inch heel, 1-inch platform and Rene Caovilla's signature glittered sole.

If this shoe fancies you, this is available at Neiman Marcus for $1,365.

Rene Caovilla 'Strass' bejeweled suede sandal

I would normally despise... it is a harsh word, let me rephrase it.  I would normally not like right away sandals that are bare in front but constricting around the ankles because I don't have long legs to balance out the 'cropped' look.  I also apply the same principle in wearing cropped pants... I just look shorter and stumpy.  I said 'not like right away' if the designer has made all efforts in making it look good on my feet even if it's only in my imagination.  The perfect example would be this sandal by Rene Caovilla.  It is just the glittery thing going on that lured me to liking this.  

If you happen to be a sucker for anything that sparkles, this sandal is available at Neiman Marcus for $1,195.

Rene Caovilla crystal slingback

This is perfect sandals for a formal party.  I can see myself wearing this with a white gown to allow its cobalt crystals to pop out... just make sure you have a pedicure.  I love this!  Guys, this is on sale at Bluefly and I hope you could get one before stock run out.

Rene Caovilla high heeled sandals with diamante detail

Did I mention that I don't like wrap around shoes?  The main reason for this is that it falls on my ankles no matter how I make it tight.  Maybe... just maybe, Rene Caovilla heard my complaint and thought of something to solve my dilemma.  You are now looking at his solution to the problem, the springy thing that wraps around the legs sans tying a knot.  At close inspection you will see that the top end of the 'spring' is shaped like a snake's head so it is as if a glittery silver snake is climbing up your legs.  I don't know if you will like the idea, anyway, you can get this at Yoox.

Rene Caovilla asymmetric jewel thong sandal

Off with her feet!  This thong sandal by Rene Caovilla is not dangerous by height but by its jewels.  Anyone could mistake the crystals for diamonds... I mean anyone, so don't walk alone wearing this in dark alleys.  Thongs as lovely as this can be worn with a formal dress... never mind if it is flat, the glittery huge crystals are enough to make it an evening shoe.  You can get this at Bergdorf Goodman.
