I can't decide if I want to get a separate pair of shoes for the reception...I LOVE my shoes, and so far when I wear them they are comfy...but of course I haven't worn them for an entire day!!
Our wedding is fun and funky, as are my shoes....so if I do get reception shoes they need to be fun! e.i. think polka dots, red, mary janes, etc.

I'm big on love with multicolored shoes for weddings, I love a flash of red from under a white dress lol. If you want to switch into something more comfy for dancing at the reception, there's millions of ballet flats out right now, I like these (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=/qid=/ref=br_1_br_1_10/601-2192367-7491311?ie=UTF8&node=3429561&frombrowse=1&asin=B00176OZW0&rh=tgt_1%3ABallet%20Flats&page=1)in particular oohh and these.

I love the contrast of a bright color under a dress too. After seeing the cover of Brides this month, with the bright pink shoes and flowers, I decided on bright red satin shoes (and bright red roses for my bouquet).
If you're worried about your shoes, try wearing them around the house a lot between now and then, and get a good get insert for the ball of the foot.

Every night for half an hour i prance up and down my house in my Wedding Shoes.
Not only to break them in a bit, but to learn how to "drive" those Mothers LOL.
I've got the best "reception" shoes for mine. Being held at home i can put on my SLIPPERS!!!!!! :rofl:

I'm glad I'm not the only one that digs unconventional shoes for my wedding day :) I really want a pair of sparkly red mary janes for my ceremony shoes. There's no place like home after all ;) or maybe have something blue (http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod88557271&catId=cat240222)

I was actually going to...get this...wear heels I already have! Boring, no? But I figured no one would actually see my shoes and it does assure that they're broken in and comfortable and I know how they'll work because I've been drunk in them, danced in them, and have walked across three rock solid inches of ice in them (yeah, it's an acquired talent ;) ). BUT I just found a dress I love and am planning to wear it for the big day and it's only knee length so now my plans are revised and I am going to go out and get some amazing shoes! Heck, they might cost more than this dress... hehe
vanna, those shoes are all super cute!
