Coordinate Your Look with Beautiful Dyeable Shoes

Dyeable shoes are heaven sent when you want to coordinate your outfit. This is especially true when a bride wants her attending ladies to wear shoes and dresses that complement each other. Traditionally, dyeable shoe options were very basic and limited. They were more practical than fashionable and in most cases were plain and drab looking. Strappy, elegant sandals or high fashion pumps were almost non existent. But today’s dyeable shoe selection is varied enough to satisfy anyone’s style and taste. From the stiletto heeled jeweled sandal to the practical low heeled pump, dyeable shoes deliver.

Shoe fabric is important too, and dyeable shoes are not only available in satins or silks. They can be found in a vast range of fabrics or materials that will suit any bridal gown or bridesmaid dress. Before deciding what kind of dyeable shoes are best for your wedding day, take a look at these helpful guidelines.

Where to Find Dyeable Shoes

Possibly the best spot to look for dyeable shoes is the place where you’re buying your wedding dress. Often, you’ll be able to get an affordable package deal. If not, they should be able to recommend someone in your area who will do a professional job for you.

Online stores are a great place to shop for all your wedding requirements. Many of them even offer a full range of shoes in different styles and designs that can be custom coordinated with your dress. You should be able to find shoes and gowns in the same popular seasonal colors.

Keep in mind that it’s usually best to choose dyeable shoes that are off-white rather than pure white. Off-white shoes tend to dye more true to color. Be sure to ask for a color swatch of your dress and take it along with you to your professional dyer.

A pair of dyeable shoes is a like a blank canvass. So be sure to communicate your ideal vision with as much clarity and detail as possible. Bring in examples and color swatches, and spend some time talking to the dyers about what you’re expecting.

Dyeable Shoe Styles and Construction

Apart from designer labels, many online suppliers stock dyeable shoes that are right in line with contemporary fashion trends. Often, they are manufactured from materials like satin, crepe or silk satin. These high fashion shoes can feature rhinestones, ribbons or beading. Regardless of the type of fabric, style or construction, they are designed to withstand the dyeing process without losing their texture or details.

When choosing fabric and colors, consider your wedding dress, the venue, the theme of your wedding and the season. While warm weather weddings may call for summery shades and strappy shoes, autumn or winter weddings are a great opportunity to use rich tones and more solid shoe construction. Bridesmaid shoes provide an ideal chance to have some fun with coordinating colors. Try mixing and matching accent shades among your bridesmaids for interesting pops of color.

Dyeable Shoe Coordination

To coordinate shoes with your bridal party or your own gown just right, it is important to remember that dye colors change in different lights. Be sure to examine your dyeable shoes in natural light before the big day. Keep in mind that your shoes don’t have to be the same exact shade as your dress. For instance if your bridesmaids are wearing blue, then a silver pair of shoes would be very complementary. It is also crucial that each pair is dyed at the same time to keep the color consistent. Even the most skilled dyer cannot guarantee total uniformity in color batches. When light plays on them, even during the evening, any mismatches will be blatantly obvious.

If your dresses are printed or have variations of the same color, it is recommended that you pick one color for your dyeable shoes. This way, even if you end up with an inexact color, it won’t be obvious.

If you want near-perfect color coordination, look for dyeable shoes that are made of the same kind of fabric as your dress. For instance, if your dress is made from a silky material you could select dyeable shoes in a material that will reflect the light in the same way. If your dress is matte, then dyeable shoes in a matte material such as crepe or leather will be perfect.

With the advances in dyeable shoes in the past years, coordinating your wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses with beautiful dyeable shoes has never been so easy. By taking a little bit of time to consider complementary shades, textures and construction, you can coordinate your bridal shoes for a picture perfect wedding day.
