Colored Shoes

Hey Ladies,

I hope you don't mind my popping in to ask a quick question.  I am considering doing a colored show with my wedding gown.  My gown is pretty traditional, and I found a pair of gorgeous Nina Shoes to go with it. (Both pics in my bio)

I am now reconsidering the original ivory color of the shoes for the same shoe in a deep purple:



I love purple and figure I could actually wear them again after the wedding.

So I guess my question is, what are your thoughts on colored shoes?  Should I stick with the ivory, or go with the purple? 

TIA

    Those are beautiful shoes and would really make a statement with your wedding! I love the flowers on the side, very cool. You could wear a (purple?) flower in your hair or something to tie it together?

    I've heard that a lot of brides these days are doing bright coloured heels, like fuschia, which add a bit of eye-popping colour peeking out from wedding dresses! I think it's a cool idea.

    I'm also considering purple shoes under my white wedding dress (see below. I got them on sale recently and love them!). My photographer reckons it will look great... and quite possibly if your dress is long enough so you won't see them all the time anyway when you are just standing there, only when you are walking/dancing/kicking up your heels for photos! Great idea I think! Esp if your dress is a bit different...

    Thanks for the reply!  I tihnk I will go for the purple pair instead. I plan on carrying a mostly purple bouquet, so I think it will tie in nicely.

    BTW, your shoes are beautiful as well, nice choice!
  • Good idea, will look lovely with a purple bouquet... Do you know what flowers you will be using? What colours will your wedding party be wearing? I'm trying to get mine sorted at the moment, which is fun!
  • Sounds like you have already made up your mind but I just had to reply since I am going with purple shoes too! I got these ones for my ivory gown and I LOVE them! So I def think you made the right choice!

  • Someone just asked the same question earlier today...
    This is a neglected planning bio.
    This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • Love it!

    I'm wearing purple shoes too to match my bridesmaids.  My dress is very simple and plain so I think some color will be cute.  I've seen lots of girls wearing colored shoes, especially in bold colors.  Now I just have to get my Fiance on board!  haha!
  • Im also wearing purple shoes. I had them dyed DB lapis purple. The one thing I HAD to have! Go for the purple shoes, you wont regret it. GL

  • Those are HOT!
  • Those shoes are gorgeous! I would go for it. I'm having bright green shoes. I think colored shoes are fantastic. 
  • Thanks for the reassurance ladies, they have been ordered!
  • I ordered these exact shoes too!  I ordered them in ivory because they didn't make them in turquoise (the color I wanted).  So, I ended up returning them in the end.  But I REALLY wanted them!  Good choice!

  • Definitely go color! I love them. I wore fuschia shoes for my wedding.
