Red shoes with my dress? Bad Idea?

Posted in Planning 50

How many think it's a bad idea to wear red heels with my dress? I really wanted to but everyone in my family thinks its a bad idea. I;m not sure why they think that. But I think it's a fun idea, It's our color. How many of you think I'll regret it?

    Actually, now that I think about it, I wore red shoes in my "fake marriage" to FH (we did an April Fool elopement prank last year). I think if I hadn't worn them, more people would have been suspicious. :p



    Seriously, like everyone says, brightly colored shoes look awesome with a white or ivory dress--I think you'd only regret not wearing them.

    Sharon: I LOVE those shoes. I have a pair that are very similar in style/material/color--wore them with a black dress to my cousin's wedding last year, actually. They match my hair. :p

    Going back to my days in the fashion biz, we were always taught that your shoe color should match the hem of your dress or your hosiery.

    That being said, it is a personal choice. LOL! Personally, I would not do red with a white or ivory dress.

    YOU want to wear red shoes... YOU WEAR RED SHOES! =) I think you'll regret if you don't!!! Perhaps you can compromise and buy a "traditional" pair of shoes for the ceremony, and wear the red ones for your reception. Your wedding day should be a reflection of your personality. Too often family members are caught up on "what's acceptable" or "too non traditional". But, I say, "says who????" =)

    Latest Trend is to wear brilliant shoes be they of color, sparkly or have monograms on the bottom! Family will usually have something controversial to say, this I am not sure why... the memories of planning your wedding ideally would be supportive and fun with no one stressing about your creative and innovative ideas! The photos will be fabulous with your RED Shoes! Have Fun!

    Ha. My friends and family said the same thing - "you'll regret it" - when i told them I wanted to wear orange shoes. But for me (I'm an artist) I LOVE the subtle touch of color. DO IT! Smiley laugh Plus...they people that have told me I'd regret it are not up with the latest wedding style/fashions. It's a common thing now and I think it looks awesome. Make it your special day!
