Nyonya Beaded Shoes

Many people ask me how the wedding preps are going. Almost everywhere I go, I get this, "So how are things with the wedding?" Well, to be honest, I don't quite know. I haven't had the time to sit down with my wedding planner (who is and has been in charge of things since March this year - yay!).

rif's mother started making my Nyonya beaded shoes -- the process looks painfully difficult. I think I would go blind if I were to ever attempt such a feat. Oh well, I'm lucky she's fond of me and wants to do it. :)

 This is only the start, but it looks beautiful to me. Anyone knows where I can get stiletto heels to attach the beaded artwork on? I don't want to wear the chunky, low-heeled shoes most Nyonya shoes come with. Would be great if Peranakans out there could share some tips!

    I'm not sure about KL but in Melaka you can go to J manik which is just on Jalan Hang Lekir, off Jonker Street and just opposite Geographer's Cafe. All shoes are made of real leather and you can customise the heels :)They also sell really beautiful Nyonya Kebayas.

    My mum does the same beaded shoes too and she gets them "finished" in Melaka. Only in Melaka !
