Colored Shoes on Your Wedding Day!

So one big trend right now for brides is wearing colored shoes with your wedding gown! Personally, I LOVE this look (and I did it for my own wedding)! To me, it shows a little of a bride's personality! But I know there are brides out there who wouldn't dare even think to slip on a shoe any other color than white or ivory and that's perfectly fine. It isn't for everyone.

I had a HARD time finding the perfect pink shoes. I originally wanted a pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes but they were from a past collection and were no longer available anywhere. I ended up just getting some shoes (pictured to the left) dyed pink twice actually. The first pair wasn't the right shade of pink so I bought another pair and had them dyed the pink I was going for. But there are tons of options out now! Why is it when you are looking for something you can never find it...and as soon as you aren't looking, you see things everywhere!

I digress.... lol. Here are a few pics of brides rocking colored shoes with their wedding gowns! Check them out and get inspired! :)

My Wedding Shoes - THINK PINK!

One popular thing alot of brides are doing these days is wearing colored shoes! My official wedding colors were black & white with hints of hot pink. So I decided to wear pink shoes with my dress to add some pop!

But finding a pink shoe was alot harder than I imagined it would be. Lets just say my wedding shoe hunt was quite a long process. I found a pink pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes that would have been perfect but they were from last season so they weren't available anymore. Alot of the designer shoes I saw I wasn't really feeling or they werent dyable. So I finally started looking up dyable shoes and lets just say there are a limited amount of those I thought were cute. So I finally decided on a shoe by Coloriffics called Desire. See below

Remember, when ordering shoes you want to be dyed, get white. Dont make the mistake I made by getting ivory because they cant dye them if they aren't white.

But I ordered them from a GREAT shoe website - www.endless.com
They have FREE Overnight shipping and a no hassle return policy! I actually ordered 3 pair of shoes I was contemplating before deciding on the Coloriffics shoe. They came in the next day, I tried them on, then immediately sent them all back once I determined none of them worked for me. They do free return shipping too! Cant beat that!

Once I was ready to get the shoe dyed, I found a local spot to dye them. They charged $38. Im not sure if that was too much or not but I didnt have time to look around.
Here is how they turned out:

Another cute little thing I saw while browsing the internet during my wedding planning were stickers that brides put on the bottom of their shoes that say "I do" but I forgot to order some, so I went to my fav store Micheals and got some cute letter stickers and put my own on the bottom. They were only $3.99 for a pack and they actually turned out much cuter to me than the stickers I had seen online. Check it out:

Wedding Shoes

Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! There are so many options for a bride! Some would even say the shoes are one of the most important things for a bride....and others would argue that you never even see the brides shoes until the groom is lifting her dress to get the garter! And thats if the bride hasnt already gotten comfy and switched out her uncomfortable shoes for some slippers!! So spending a few hundred dollars on shoes that no one will really see seems insane to some... but for those who are all about the shoes, Ive found some hot designer shoes that are great for the big day!

Of course you still have to make sure the shoe goes with the style and look of your dress. Not every shoe will go with every dress. My personal fav out this bunch are the Guiseppe's ...but whew... a $590 pricetag even for the big day is a bit steep for my blood... lol ... Plus the big bow look may be a bit too much going on with my dress. Oh well......
