How Do You Get Those Perfect Pair of Ivory Bridal Shoes

Ivory Wedding Shoes

Today you might find brides experimenting and being adventurous and opting for colored bridal gowns and shoes. But tradition remains for the majority and you still get to see a white wedding. When you think of a wedding you always picture a bride in a white gown with a veil. White gives a touch of feminity to the bride.

You might also see some brides opting for the ivory look over the white look. This is when they want to avoid the bleached white look of a white wedding gown. When you choose to wear an ivory gown make sure your shoes are the same ivory color too.

How do you go about selecting the perfect ivory colored shoes? People might wonder if they should go in for a pair of dyeable ivory shoes. Well if you have decided to go in for a pair of dyeable shoes, then you are better off with a white pair of dyeable shoes. When you dye white color, the end result will exactly match the color that was used as the dye. If you use an ivory colored dyeable pair of shoes, your shoes already have a color on them. Then when you dye them with another color the result will be a color which is one or two shades darker than your intended color.  To get that exact match for your gown it is always advisable to buy a pair of white colored dyeable shoes.

Ivory Shoes For A Wedding

Another option you have for buying your ivory colored bridal shoes is to buy the ivory shoes off the shelf. Take a small cutting or sample of the cloth for your wedding gown and use that to select the exact match. There are stores selling ivory colored shoes in their bridal collection. You just need to match the color of the gown to the shoes. If you cannot get a swatch, you could probably take the whole gown along with you. Yes, I know it could be uncomfortable and difficult too. But you probably will have to do it if you have no other option to match the shoe color to the color of the gown.

Another question that comes to mind when selecting a pair of shoes is whether to go for the heels or the flats. Well if you are getting your gown stitched, you have the liberty to choose. Choose according to what you feel comfortable in and of course the styles available. Make sure you decide on the shoes before you go to give in the measurements for your gown. Take the shoes along and put them on when the measurements are being taken. This way the length of the gown will be just right with your shoes on- be it with heels or without.

But if you are buying a readymade gown, you will have to buy the shoes according to the length of your gown. You do not want to be wearing too high heels that make your gown look as though it has shrunk and neither do you want your gown sweeping the floor.
