Off white shoes with pure white dress?

Nattie, on August 10, 2015 at 10:42 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

I picked up my dress this weekend and wanted to pick out shoes. I narrowed it down to 2 pairs but am not sure now which one would be better.

An super comfortable pair of off white 3.5 inch ballroom dance style heels that I could wear all day and night or a mostly comfortable 4.5 inch pair of white satin pumps that I wouldn't be able to dance in for long and would need to change into a silver pair of strappy heels I already have.

Would the off-white pair look terrible with a pure white dress? Attaching me in dress and the shoes for opinions

    I think either pair would look great with your dress, so I'd pick the pair that is more comfortable.

    Ivory ("off white") photographs a shade lighter Smiley winking no one would notice such a minor difference in shade! I'd go with whichever you like more

    Honestly, the white ones look TOO white, to the point that the fabric looks cheap. Your dress is long (so pretty!) and no one is really going to get a great look at your shoes. It's your day, wear the shoes that will let you dance the night away!

    Your dress is gorgeous. Nobody will see the shoes and even if they do (as in, you lift your dress to show them!), they will not notice the color difference. Wear the pair that is more comfortable. Seriously.

    Typically, it works to have the shoes slightly darker than the dress, but not lighter. Given that the shoes will be in the shadow of the dress, no one is likely to notice if they are slightly darker, anyway--they'll just assume it's the shadow.

    No one will see your shoes. They will be to busy staring at that beautiful dress! Smiley smile
