Which shoes?

Maltey, 22 April, 2012 at 23:21 Posted on Planning 0 13

I wish I could show you pictures, but this is a very generic question.

The colour theme of our wedding is a dark purple- my dress is white with a purple belt.

Do you think I should have white or purple shoes?

I will never ever wear the white shoes again and I would definitely wear the purple ones again, so it seems like a better investment, but it seems less bridey.

What do you think?

    I think purple would look better with the outfit, and obviously you'd wear them again - you could still make them bridey with some 'i do' stickers on the bottom?

    Purple! Why isn't anything other than white considered bride-y? I think it's ridiculous to get white shoes if you'd never wear them again. Get some nice purple shoes that you will love for a long time. Imagine going out at night in your purple wedding shoes- they'll always make you remember the happy day you first wore them. And you won't feel the need to buy really cheap shoes, since they won't just be for one night, which means you can get some really nice quality, COMFORTABLE shoes!

    Go purple!

    This is what I was hoping for I think!

    The more I'm looking at them the more I want purple. I've always said that the majority of wedding shoes (ones that are made specifically for brides) are pretty much ugly.

    I think I thought I should have white shoes because it's traditional? but we're finding a lot of traditions that we're just not doing because it doesn't apply today. This will be one of them

    I'm gonna go purple ?

    YAY ? we need a flash when you've picked them ?

    I didn't think white shoes were traditional anyway, just that they matched a white dress?

    But with a purple sash, purple would go much better!

    I think you should do purple definitely, - so much more exciting. I know a fab place that sells loads of different styles of wedding shoes and you can have them colour matched to the exact purple if you wish - would you like to know where?

    Absolutely purple!

    how short/long is your dress? will you see the shoes or only if you lift up your skirt? ? not that it would make a difference I would still choose purple!

    I think all white wedding shoes are pretty blah to be honest and even though I'm having a simple dress I want coloured shoes and coloured knickers!

    go for it ?

    Definitely go for purple... I've got an ivory dress and have got cadbury purple shoes which I'm going to cover in purple swarovski crystals Smiley smile. My mum thought I was crazy when I bought them as I think she thought I'd go for traditional bridal shoes! x

    absolutley agree with this! Go for purple espeically if you know you will never wear white ones again. I haev gone for a strappy sandal rather than a bridal court shoe purely because I know I will wear a strappy shoe again but wouldnt wear ivory court shoes ever again.

    Go purple! You'll end up not wearing white shoes again or paying to get them dyed, so might as well get the purple ones anyway.

    Is it a short, fifties style dress out of interest? Coloured shoes look lovely with this style dress.
