White Wedding Shoes

While wedding shoes come in every shade and colour, and some of today's brides are choosing brighter or metallic bridal footwear, white wedding shoes are still preferred by many for the walk down the aisle. For a more formal affair, a bride can choose a traditional white wedding shoe with a very simple design. Traditional white wedding shoes are usually made of leather, lace or satin. The heel is of medium height, with a rounded or slightly pointed toe. A less traditional shoe often has metallic buckles or jewels, which dress up any look. If a bridal gown has pearls or beading, a similar stone or pearl on the shoe can elegantly tie the look together. Casual white wedding shoes can range from kitten-heel sandals to beach flip flops. A lower heel can make a bride look less formal, while a pair of white flip flops or wedding sneakers looks extremely casual. White wedding ballet slippers are somewhere between dressy and casual, and can be simple slip ons or more elaborate satin slippers with silk ribbons or bows. If you want a very specific colour or a close match to a dress or fabric, white wedding shoes can easily be dyed any colour. However, you can only dye white shoes darker; you can't dye ivory shoes bone white, or beige shoes ivory.
