Hi, I need a little help with a decision.

I can't find any shoes that I like to go with my dress. I want satin shoes as my dress is silk, but I don't know what colour. My dress says it is ivory, but if so then it is a very pale, almost white ivory. But I don't like any bridal or ivory/white shoes that I have found. Also on a very limited budget.

Would it look silly if I were to wear navy blue satin shoes under my dress? BMs are in navy blue (military wedding) and so is H2B (uniform) and all men in the bridal party. If they were navy blue then I would wear them again, but wouldn't if they were ivory. But would they look silly?!

I've asked my 3 BMs. Only one has replied and said she thinks it would look silly. She says wait and keep looking for ivory/white ones as I have till December.

What does anyone else think? Navy blue satin shoes under an ivory/white dress, good or bad idea? Thank you!!! xx

I don't think it would look silly at all. Lots of brides are now opting for coloured shoes!

It would be weird if you wore blue shoes but the rest of the colour theme was something else, such as sage green.
If they look good, feel comfy and are WHAT YOU WANT, then go for it! At least people will actually notice them on the day (and it is your day to be centre of attention with yout husband after all!!) and you can wear them afterwards :-)

Like others i dont think look silly lots of brides are now wearing "non" wedding shoes to be honest if you look at the show of ur shoes thread you will see.

Our colour is Royal blue and I said about wearing blue shoes as my something blue and then i can wear them agian after xxx

I think it's a fab idea hun and is very popular at the moment. Is ur dress still at the shop? If so either take some navy shoes there or try some on there if they have them. Look on bridal sites for shoes as a lot can be hand dyed to the colour I want. The one so have are by panorox or how ever u spell it and they can be hand dyed and are satin x

Aww, thanks you guys, you've made me feel better about it :) I'll get the navy ones that I've seen and like as they are only £17 and take them to try on with my dress. xx

I think it would look lovely. Many brides are now doing the coloured shoes rather than the standard bridal ones. I had green shoes.

Definitley won't look silly! My bridesmaids wore purple and I had my shoes color matched and dyed ... and my dress wasn't down to the floor so they were on show xx

I think they'll look lovely; I think blue shoes are quite popular x

I think it would look ok hun, they will match the lads and its nice to be a little bit different. If you find an ivory pair that you prefer before the day then great, but if you have a navy pair that you love now then thats great to. X
