How To Choose Perfect Silver Wedding Shoes

Ellie: Hi! I'm Ellie!
Charlotte: And I'm Charlotte!
Ellie: And we run a bridal boutique in southwest London called Ellie and Charlotte's.
Charlotte: We're going to talk to you about how to choose your perfect wedding shoes!
Ellie: When choosing your shoes for your wedding dress, we highly recommend that you get a sample of fabric from your dressmaker or from the boutique that you are actually getting your dress from. Once you've got that, that will really help you work out what color shoe you need to get for your dress.

Another thing you need to figure out is how high you want the shoe to go and you need to find a style that actually suits the wedding dress that you've ordered.
Charlotte: Silver is a really hard color to match. It goes from quite icy all the way through to quite warm blue-y kind of steel silver color.

So, even though you have the fabric sample, which is going to be really helpful, we would always recommend maybe getting a couple of pairs of shoes to try out with your dress once you can see it, en masse. With the pewter, it's going to be a lot more of a dark, iron-y, sort of antique-y vintage look. Or, you might want the more sort of glam sparkly look with your wedding dress.


Ellie: And, also, it depends on the style of your dress as well. If it's a really, sort of strap-y, very fluid dress, then you need to think of a style of shoe that will suit that maybe a sort of more strappy kind of glamorous shoe. I don't think you really get that many full, duchess, satin silver wedding dresses so I'd probably go down that, that route.


Charlotte: Yeah! And if your dress is more vintage-y then you can kind of pick up on the more antique, pewter look with some of the embellishments and everything like that. But, don't forget when you are buying silver shoes, it's sometimes good just to put your hand in the shoe when you're looking at them because a lot of the time they put the inside of the soles, don't they, they make them in silver? So actually when your hands in you can see how much silver you're seeing. A lot of the time it's not as much as it first appears when you're looking at the shoe. And that's how to find your perfect, silver wedding shoes! .
