Deciding to Purchase White Wedding Shoes

Monday, 02 March 2009 12:09

I always dreamed about my wedding with me in the perfect princess wedding dress with my little white wedding shoes on my feet. I love the color white and come summer, I bring out all of the white clothes I can. I know sometimes people think white can get dirty really quickly, but surprisingly, when you are wearing something white, you tend to be more careful. Plus, a little bleach or a run to the dry cleaners never hurts.

So, when it came to thinking about my wedding shoes, my first thought was to buy a pair of beautiful white bridal shoes. The trick there was how to get the right shade of white. Whites come in so many different shades – some shades are much brighter, while others can be more muted. As most of you have probably learned from wedding dress shopping, there are so many different ways to describe the color white and there are so many different shades of white. Some shades are that pearly white color that is a little gray. Other shades are the bright white color that is so bright, it just sparkles in the sunlight. Regardless of the shade you chose, just make sure that the shade of your shoes is not brighter than the dress. Recently, I saw a girl try on bright white shoes with her dress in the store and you could see the shoes much more than the dress. Actually, the shoes made the dress shade look a bit drabby since the shoes were brighter than the dress. Don’t make this mistake when buying your shoes. Absolutely make sure you’ve brought a garment swatch of your dress with you when shopping for shoes so you don’t make this mistake.

The other thing I learned with white wedding shoes is that there are so many of them out there to look through. Since white is a summer color, the number of white shoes that you can find as you get closer to summer becomes unbelievable. So many brands come out with white shoes, it is amazing. So, don’t just stick to white wedding shoes from manufacturers of wedding shoes. Look everywhere. Look on all the different racks. You just might find the white sandals that you wanted. Don’t get me wrong, if you want shoes made for wedding, the white shoes by wedding shoe manufacturers are gorgeous! But, if you want more casual shoes so you can wear them around afterwards or even on your honeymoon, then look on all of the shoe racks. My girlfriend just found her white wedding shoes at Macy’s in the sandals area. She’s going to buy a little shoe clip to add to the sandals, and then take the clip off and bring these shoes on her honeymoon. She said they would be perfect for the beach, but they are also perfect for her dress if you add a little something.

I didn’t end up with white bridal shoes because I found a pair of silver ones that I loved. But, I did end up buying 2 pairs of great white sandals that I brought with me on my honeymoon. Also, I did realize that at the end of the day, you really can’t go wrong with white wedding shoes. They match your dress, they match your outfit, and they are so versatile, you’ll surely wear them again!

By the way, if you are looking for white wedding shoes, I've found some great ones for you here.
