Dyeable Shoes: The Easy Way to keep your Bridal Party Coordinated

With all the details to worry about with a wedding, why do so many brides ask their bridesmaids to purchase dyeable shoes?

One reason is that shoes created from fabrics that are suitable for dying are relatively inexpensive. You are not buying a supple leather shoe that will last a lifetime, but may cost upward of $100 or $200.  Rather, you are selecting a comfortable fabric shoe that your bridesmaids will only wear a couple dozen times. So for a maximum of about $50, your bridal party can have comfortable perfectly matching shoes.

The other reason is obvious - dyeable shoes will give the wedding party shoes of the same color. If you just leave it to your naked eye, you are bound to end up with more than one shade of any color.

Are you aware that there are 40 discernable shades of green?

There are even more shades of red. The human eye - one that is not color blind, anyway - can reportedly pick out 285 shades of red.

And when it comes to blue, Crayola Crayons manufacturers 19 shade of blue, but a computer can pick out around 5.6 million.

All this leaves a lot of room to pick the wrong shade of shoes. Better to purchase shoes that can be professionally dyed the exact same color than risk having five bridesmaids wearing five different shades of a color.

Color Choices

Just because you've opted for dyed shoes, do not think your color choices will be limited. They are not. In many styles of shoes, you can choose between 70 different colors.

Consider red shoes. You can have apple, berry, ruby or sangria red.

Check out green shoes. Choose from Atlantis, fern, clover, holly, kelly, malachite and olivine.

And for blue, you can choose between blue frost, blue velvet, Capri, cornflower, Malibu, marine, mermaid, navy, pool, regency and titanium.

Even with white shoes, there are variations such as bridal light ivory, bridal pearl, celadon, champagne, light ivory and white.

Ways to Use Color

Now that you are aware of the many options available, you need to decide how you want to use color in your bridal party. Here are some choices:

·         Set apart the junior bridesmaid or the maid/matron of honor: Just as some junior bridesmaids or the maid/matron of honor will wear different dresses, they can also wear different shoes, too. At least with dyeable shoes, they can all be the same shade. You may choose to put the junior bridesmaid in a pair of lower heels or a ballet slipper style shoe that is the same shade as the high heels worn by the rest of the bridal party. Or maybe the maid/matron of honor has a different dress. By all means, choose a different shoe, but one that is in the same shade as the rest of the party.

·         Bridesmaids wear different colors: Some brides prefer that their bridal party wear different colors. And if they are wearing different colored dresses, they certainly should wear different colored shoes. For example, the bride may choose the color yellow, but the maid/matron of honor will wear canary, her bridesmaids will wear sunbeam and her flower girl will wear key lime.

·         Matching mothers of the bride/groom: If you prefer a color-coordinated look, then get the mothers of the bride and groom involved. Ask them to coordinate their footwear with their outfits. The result will be a very color-coordinated affair.

When it comes to selecting shoes, don't worry. There are dozens of styles ranging from an elegant closed-toe sling back to a high-heeled wedge sandal with a T strap of rhinestone going up the foot. No matter what tone you set, your shoes will match.

·         Flower Girl: You will want something simple and sweet for your younger attendants. Consider a closed toe model with a simple ankle strap and just a touch of a square heel. For something a little bit more sophisticated, try a simple slip-on, peep toe wedge.

·         Casual: If yours is a casual ceremony, keep it simple with the shoes, too. A dyeable mini-wedge thong sandal with embellishments across the toes, is simple but fancy.

·         Simple: It is hard to get anything less complicated than a dyeable satin ballet flat. They have a small hand-tied bow over the top of the foot and a flat heel.

·         Traditional: Enjoy the comfortable heel height, the eye-catching peep toe and the feminine scalloped edge on this shoe.

·         Elegant: For some understated elegance, try a slinky sandal with a crystal-encrusted front strap across the top of the foot and a sling-back strap that supports the back of the foot.

Dyeable shoes can certainly help coordinate the look of your bridal party. Just remember to embrace the color. Don't be afraid to try something different, spreading that color around.
