How To Choose Perfect White Wedding Shoes

We're going to talk to you about how to choose your perfect wedding shoes. 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're actually getting your dress from. Once you've got that, that will really help you work out what colour 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. There's not often that many wedding dresses made of pure white anymore. They are mainly ivory or cream.

But if you have got a white wedding dress and find a pair of shoes, you really do need your fabric sample because white wedding shoes need to be a very good colour match to your fabric. For example, this is an ivory fabric sample and you can see that it does vary slightly but the shoes are really going to stand out if it's underneath. It's really white next to the ivory whereas this is more of a white fabric and they actually enhance each other and they look much better together.

It's only going to be a slight shade different between the ivory and the white but it's quite an important one for the look of your dress. Also, when choosing a white shoe, you need to think about the fabric. It's possible to get leather or satin white shoes for your wedding.

You still need to think about the look of your dress and the style of the shoe because you don't want it to stand out too much because white shoes are a lot more obvious and a bit more reflective than ivory shoes. So, you need to think about that and I think, widely available, you'd be asking more painted and leather white shoes. This is all something you need to consider when choosing the shoes.

At Ellie and Charlotte's, we usually suggest that buying a satin white shoe is probably better than leather or painted one. And that is how you choose your perfect white wedding shoes.
