Ivory Wedding Shoes

For a bride on the search for ivory wedding shoes, here are tips on the best way to go about the search.

Start Early

Brides should know that they have to start looking for their bridal shoes early.  One of the main reasons is because the shoes have to be ready before their dress fitting.  Your dress might come, but if you don't have the right shoes, then the tailor won't know where to alter it to.  Therefore, if you are looking for ivory bridal shoes, make sure you start looking early.

Know the Shade

Ivory is a hard color to match sometimes.  If you want an exact match, you will have to know what color your dress looks like.  Therefore, when you buy the dress, see if they have a sample swatch of fabric that they can give you so you can use it to match your shoes.  Otherwise, understand what shade of ivory you are looking for so you don't buy the wrong shade.  Also, even if you buy the wrong shade, as long as it's not too far off, you are OK.  Just make sure it is not so far off that the ivory looks white, then you might be in trouble as the shoes could look very different against your dress.

Know the Style

Know the style of shoe you are looking for.  Do you want something strappy with ankle straps to match?  Or are you looking for a cute pair of pumps?  Or do you want open-toe shoes that are elegant and simple?  Whatever you want, make sure you know the style so the person at the store can help you look for shoes to match.  If not, it will be hard for them or any of your bridesmaids or family members to help look for you.

Tell everyone

Try to tell everyone the type of ivory wedding shoes you are looking for.  This way, you have more people looking and it will help you in your search.  These days, a lot of people have a camera on their phone and it is pretty easy for someone to take a picture and upload it to you so that you will have a sample and know what they are looking at.

Shop Online

Sometimes, the easiest way to find something is online.  There are many online shoe stores and online bridal stores that carry lots of shoes so definitely look online for a larger selection.  This may be better if you live in a smaller town or if you don't have access to a lot of different stores.  Also, these days, many online stores have free shipping and free returns so feel free to order a lot of shoes to try on.

Ivory wedding shoes are beautiful with an ivory dress.  Just make sure you know how to look for them before you shop.
