Hello, and welcome back to Find it Fridays! My latest challenge for Shine's weekly fashion scavenger hunt came from a reader named Beth, who is on the hunt for wedding shoes. Here is her request:

Hi, Beth! I love the idea of tangerine wedding shoes. Very unique! Of course this also makes them a little tricky to find. My first thought was enlisting a company like Dyeables or Coloriffics, which come highly recommended from past brides.
