Color of your Wedding Shoes |
Choosing a color is so fun, but so hard at the same time. I went through a long list of decisions before deciding on the right color for my bridal shoes. The thing to remember is that there are many options and you almost can’t go wrong with whatever color you choose for your wedding shoe. In order to help guide you, I wrote down all of the thoughts that swirled through my head as I was trying to choose my color. 1) Match your dress: My first thought was to match the shoes to my wedding dress. Since I had purchased an ivory wedding dress, I wanted to buy ivory bridal shoes to match. If you do this, you cannot go wrong. Most places will list what colors the shoes come in like ivory or diamond white (which are similar). Plus, your dress and shoes will look great together since it will look like one whole outfit! The only thing to remember is that the shade of white or ivory you select needs to be similar or darker than the dress. If it is brighter, the shoe will stand out too much against your dress. 2) Compliment: The other way to go is to choose a complimentary color. Slightly darker or lighter shades of white, ivory or other neutral colors will compliment the dress well. For example, if your gown is ivory, consider an antique or champagne bridal shoes. If your gown is just shy of white, look for diamond white wedding shoes. Complimenting your dress will allow you to enhance your look without making it look like one color from head to foot. 3) Check in daylight: To get the perfect color, compare the color and your dress swatch in natural daylight. This will show you exactly how the 2 colors will compliment each other. I made the mistake of first buying my shoes in the store. When I took them outside to try them on, I noticed the color was slightly different from what it had looked like in the store. Although the difference wasn't huge, I returned that first pair because it didn't match my dress. 4) Sparkle: If you want your shoes to sparkle a little, choose gold wedding shoes, or silver bridal shoes or even a copper color. The only thing to make sure of is what colors are on your dress. If you have silver crystals, make sure you don’t choose gold bridal shoes, and vice versa. If your dress is all white, choose any color you want! Finally, take advantage of choosing a metallic color and choose one that you can wear later to go out in. 5) White wedding shoes or Ivory wedding shoes: At the end of the day, if you don't want a specific color, you really can't go wrong with white or ivory wedding shoes. Depending on the color of the dress, a white or ivory shoe will match it perfectly. The only thing to be aware of is that white comes in many different shades, as does ivory. If you want to match that shoe with your dress, make sure you bring a color swatch in while shopping. 6) Be demure, but distinct: If you want your shoes to be different, but still stand out a little, consider champagne or taupe. This will accent your dress and be slightly different, but still match well with a romantic white or ivory dress. Another option is to go with ice blue, pale pink, or another pastel shade. These will compliment, but won’t stand out too much. There are less options in these colors, but I’ve tried to find you the best ones out there.
7) Be Different, be bright, stand out: Choosing a completely different color – red, turquoise, pink, purple – could turn out terrific! If you have a bow on your dress that is a different color, think about buying matching shoes. Or, if you just want something different, consider an entirely new color. I’ve seen plenty of brides in their favorite color shoes whether it’s green, red, blue, or something else! I’ve also seen plenty of brides wearing shoes that match one of their wedding colors or the bridesmaids gowns. This really makes your look stand out from others, but can also really compliment the wedding you’ve planned. Check out these bright color shoes for more ideas to match your dress!
