But there's a love in all our souls, and it shines like gold

My brother sent me these awesome shoes for my birthday. They're comfortable, flirty, cute, and gold. I was a bit apprehensive about the color at first thinking it would draw so much attention. But after spending all of Valentine's Day walking in them (Nike Air rules my soles), I realized that the color simply complemented my clothing ensemble. I love these shoes. Their gold colored leather helps dress up any outfit and they are fancy enough to wear as wedding shoes.

Gold is a fun color. It's everywhere, from gold medals and gold wedding bands to gold chocolate coins and goldschläger. As a metallic color it is totally glamorous, shiny, and sparkly.

After seeing two beautiful gold dresses in Lela Rose's Fall 2009 collection, I had to create a gold inspiration board. Utilized as highlights in your wedding colors, or as the main color scheme, gold can produce quite an alluring scene.

Do you like the color gold or any other metallic colors? Will you be incorporating them into your wedding colors?
