How to Choose the Best Dyeable Shoes for Your Wedding

When choosing a pair of dyeable shoes, fabrics and textures play a crucial role. Unless your shoes are covered in the same fabric as your dress, you may not get a perfect match, so it is important that you try to get the closest match possible between the texture of your shoes and your gown. A general rule to this is to match the texture of your shoes to the texture of your gown so that you can create a seamless flow between the two and it should draw less attention to your shoes.

Decisions

While it is important to match the color of your gown to the color of your shoes, selecting your shoe fabric is also important. Generally, your wedding gown depicts which type of fabric you should select for your shoes in order to achieve a complimentary look on the day. There are many different fabrics and textures to choose from, but most wedding gowns are complimented by material like satin or silk instead of leather and suede.

Different shoe fabrics work best with particular dress fabrics. For instance, when a wedding gown is created in crepe or with soft flowing fabrics like lace, the fabrics should compliment each other well. A shoe created in a low sheen also works well, but a satin or silk which has a high or ultra sheen compliments a gown made in silk, especially if it is a matte silk or matte satin.

A shoe crafted in silk is a natural fabric that has a very soft sheen and goes very well with wedding gowns created in the same material. It can also be teamed with gowns that are sparking, diamond white in color, or dressed, which have the color of the natural white you find in silk itself.

Wedding gowns that have a high satin sheen team up perfectly with a shoe in the same material. A satin shoe also dyes very well in dark hues and because of that, they can also be dyed to compliment a velvet gown to perfection. Another reason that the high sheen of satin and velvet complement each other is because the experience variances of color in different lighting situations like indoors and outdoors due to the reflectivity of their material.

Shoes made with cotton based material blend superbly with crepe and silk wedding gowns, but this material does not dye very well to dark colors and for that reason they should be kept to the lighter color dyes. This type of material is least affected by outdoor variance in lighting because they absorb the light instead of reflecting it, and are therefore ideal for daytime weddings. Teaming these shoes with a satin or silk dress is a perfect match.

It is not all about fabric

Dyeable shoes come in all the latest designs from stylish stiletto sandals to trendy wedges, traditional pumps, sling backs, peep toes, romantic ballet slippers and a host of other styles in-between. They are available in fabrics like satin, silk, and cotton blends. They are available in natural leathers, synthetic leathers as well as patent leathers and other synthetic materials. Choosing a shoe that has a heel height that you are used to wearing is important to providing yourself with the comfort to last all day. Since you are most likely wearing these shoes all day, this is an important factor to consider when choosing your shoe style.

Choosing the right style to compliment your gown is a matter of personal choice but you may also receive advice from the specialists at the store where you purchased your wedding gown. Your shoes should complement the style of your dress. They should be beautiful and should suit the occasion. Sandals show off beautifully manicured feet and are perfect for that summer afternoon wedding; while an elegant, black tie evening wedding begs for the sheen of a soft satin pump or sling back. Or may want to marry in a garden setting and you cannot get a better shoe than a wedge to help navigate those uneven surfaces you will be walking on all day.

The romance and innocence of a ballet slipper has a special place in most brides’ imaginations because it conjures up memories of a little girl’s fairy tale weddings dreams. Teamed up with a flowing, ethereal gown can create very special memories for the bride, the groom and their guests. On the other hand, you may decide on a theme wedding and what better than a pair of snow-white satin cowgirl boots.

Whatever your choice in weddings, you should be able to find the perfect dyeable shoe to match your vision. You should take your time in choosing your style because they should match the color of your dress. If you are having trouble with your decision, you should consider asking a specialist at the location where you purchased your wedding dress.
