You & Your Wedding

Dyeable shoes are extremely useful for a wedding held at any time of the year. However, they can be especially useful for a summer wedding, when couples try to incorporate bright and energetic summer colors into their wedding. While a number of wedding ensembles are available in a wide range of colors, it may sometimes be difficult to locate shoes that will match a theme of summer colors.  Dyeable fabrics allow you to customize any style of shoe that you choose to fit the exact color scheme that you plan to use during your wedding.

One advantage of using dyeable shoes for a summer wedding is that you will be able to shop for a shoe style that you like, without having to worry about the available colors.  As long as you shop for shoes in dyeable fabrics, you will be able to turn them into any color. In recent years, dyeable shoes have made strides toward more modern styles. Now, you can find unique and gorgeous dyeable shoes complete with accents such as rhinestones, sequins, and other decorations. These decorations will not be effected at all by the strong dye. However, if the dye does get on these parts of the shoe, it will be extremely easy to remove.  You will be able to have a wide variety of shoe designs available, even if you plan on incorporating the bright and bold colors of the summer months.

Dyeable wedding shoes generally feature a satin-like white finish before they are dyed. Therefore, even if you are looking for a basic white shoe, dyeable shoes can be a great choice as is.  Many summer brides worry that they will not be able to find the perfect shoe to accompany their shorter wedding gown. The texture of the white dyeable material will make for beautiful shoes in the style of your choosing that match any summer ensemble.

You can also use dyeable shoes to complete the perfect bridesmaid outfits as well.  By limiting the amount of time that the shoes are in contact with the dye, you can lighten the end result of the dyeing process. If you find that the color is not quite as dark or rich enough as you hoped, then you can always reapply the dye for just a few moments longer, in order to add a little bit more intensity to the hue that you have produced. Depending on the style of bridesmaid dresses that you have chosen, you can find any dyeable shoe style to match it perfectly. Styles such as flat sandals with a pearl cluster ornament, high heel crisscross peep toes, or closed toe low heel pumps with a rhinestone ornament can all be perfect accompaniments to that summer gown.

If you are searching for shoes for your outdoor wedding, you should strongly consider investing in dyeable shoes for you and your wedding party. If your wedding is going to take place in an area with tall grass, for example, it is very possible that undyed shoes may end up picking up a few grass stains during the course of the wedding.  While this is, not by any means, going to be noticed by most people, you want to be aware of the possibility. Instead of using dyeable shoes to achieve a white satin finish on your wedding footwear, consider dying them a pale color that hides unwanted stains more efficiently. Colors such as bisque, buttercup, or banana are all pale and beautiful colors associated with the summertime that can help to shield stains. If you are trying to achieve a bolder summer look, consider dying your shoes any color from watermelon to Palm Beach coral or cypress, depending on your wedding theme.

When dying your shoes for your summer wedding, it is very important that you rinse all of the dye out of the shoes before the actual wedding date arrives. If any of the dye remains in the shoes, then it is possible that excessive sweating from the increased heat of the summer could cause the dye to bleed, potentially dying your skin if the shoes you have chosen are open-toed.

Excessive dye can also result in staining parts of your wedding gown and other accessories.  A similar situation could occur if you are caught in a sudden summer rain shower with dye that has not been completely washed out of your shoes.  If you think you have gotten all of the dye out of your shoes, take an extra minute to rinse your shoes at least one more time.

A friend recently asked if dyeable shoes were shoes you had to colorize with dyes yourself. Although you can purchase various dyes in stores and use them for tie-dying t-shirts and shoes if you want to in your spare time. This is not what we mean when referring to dyeable bridal shoes.

Wedding invitations are often the first indication of the style or theme of the event. Your friends and family should be able to get an idea about how formal the wedding will be, or, in the case of a destination wedding, where the event will be held. Often overlooked, wedding invitations are a crucial part of the wedding planning process and finding the best ones available should be a top priority.

Choosing the best wedding invitations means more than just picking top of the line cards and papers. It means choosing wedding invitations that reflect your style and the style of your wedding, as well as choosing wedding invitations that give your guests all the information they need in order to attend your wedding.

It is important to remember that the purpose of your wedding invitations is to give your prospective guests important information. That is why wedding invitations often contain so many parts. A full wedding invitation suite would include everything from Save the Date cards to Thank You cards, preferably all in the same style. One of the things you should consider when deciding on the best invitations for your wedding is whether there are coordinating pieces of stationery for all of your wedding stationery needs.

Of course, there are other factors to consider when choosing wedding invitations for your special event. Here’s how to pick the best wedding invitations to reflect the special style of your wedding day.

Choose wedding invitations that reflect the formality of your wedding

How formal is your wedding? If you are planning a formal wedding, you might want to choose wedding invitations that follow the “rules” of etiquette for wedding invitations. That means engraved wedding invitations in white or cream with black text, but it does not mean that you are confined to invitations that look like every other wedding invitation.

Even if you are choosing formal invitations, there is a surprising variety of styles in embossing, fonts and designs from which to choose. Whether you choose a timeless classic like Ivory Elegance or the more subtle beauty of Refined Grace, your wedding invitations will be a unique reflection of your formal, traditional wedding.

Semiformal and casual weddings open up an entire range of wedding invitations styles from which you can choose, or even design your own wedding invitations entirely. The invitations that you choose can use color, images and even photographs of the bride and groom. You may choose gatefold invitations with a photo of the bride and groom on the cover that open to reveal the printed text of the invitation itself, or pick a brightly accented invitation with matching foil liners for the invitation envelope.

Reflect your chosen colors in your wedding invitations

No matter what colors you have chosen for your wedding, you can find wedding invitations that reflect those colors. You have your choice of standard wedding invitations in cream or white with just a touch of your wedding colors in the form of ribbons or borders, or pick wedding invitations that make fuller use of your chosen colors in background papers, print or overall design. You can find colorful invitations that reflect your wedding colors when you choose a line of wedding invitations designed in house by the same designers that created your wedding dresses and other wedding stationery.

Find wedding invitations that suit the theme of your wedding

Theme weddings have never been more popular than they are now. Many couples choose to be married in a beach or island setting, in a medieval castle or in a garden that pays homage to Mother Nature. If you have decided to build your wedding around a theme, the best wedding invitations for you may be those that fit right into theme. For a beach wedding, you may choose invitations embossed with delicate shells and fronds, while the best wedding invitations for your fabulous Great Gatsby Roaring 20s wedding may feature art deco styling and bright colors.

Pick wedding invitations created by your favorite designers

Many designers of fabulous wedding dresses have opened their design lines to include a full line of bridal designs – not only wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses, but wedding stationery, invitations and table décor. Let designers help you coordinate your wedding invitations with your wedding style by choosing a line of invitations inspired by your favorite designer.

Pick wedding invitations that are part of the season

If you are having a summer wedding, choose invitations that are light and breezy with lots of floral accents. The winter bride might choose a snowflake theme for her wedding invitations. You can find plenty of wedding invitations that are seasonal, reflecting the mood for both the time of year and traditional holidays when you shop online bridal shops.

Of course, the most important part of finding the best wedding invitations is to find wedding invitations that you love, and that reflect your style as a couple. The very best way to ensure that your wedding invitations are a perfect match for your wedding is to design them yourself. Many wedding designers now offer you the option to create your own wedding invitations right online.

There is a certain feeling of contentment that emerges when specific details completely coordinate with one another. This is especially true when it concerns your wedding, and you have just been able to coordinate every detail of your special day from the bridesmaid dresses, to the shoes, to the napkin holders at the ceremony.

Many brides and grooms want their entire bridal party to match completely from the gorgeous and carefully selected bridesmaid gowns to the suits and ties worn by the groomsmen. The biggest reason that couples want to practice and rehearse everything on their wedding day is so the big day goes off without a hitch. They will be able to happily look at their wedding photos that will adorn their home for a lifetime. Often, the most difficult and sometimes overwhelming part of coordinating different details of your wedding is to find comfortable yet classic shoes to match the color of your bridesmaid gowns.

When it comes to wedding shoes, there are several styles to choose from. From a peep toe high heel platform, to a satin thong shoe with rhinestones and a small heel, to comfortable and chic flats, your bridesmaids can be comfortable and look gorgeous at the same time. You can either choose from a complete list of color swatches to match the gowns you have elected your bridesmaids to wear, or you can choose to take a more traditional route and purchase black or silver colored shoes, if deemed appropriate.

The key to getting shoes that perfectly match your bridesmaid dresses is to first select the dress you want them to wear. The dress will then dictate the color and style of shoes you need. In other words, the length, cut, style, and material of the dress you have them wear will determine which shoe is perfect for them.

As you peruse multiple bridal salons and dress shops for the perfect bridesmaid dresses, you will be able to find styles and colors of shoes that are meant to match your gown choice. However, many times these specific shoe styles are not what you are looking for. Perhaps this store does not carry the specific shoe style that you have in mind, or maybe they do not have the color you request. Either way, when this happens, drastic measures should be put into place so that you can ensure complete perfection and a flawless look on your wedding day.

Thankfully, There are Dyeable Fabrics

Dyeable shoes are the best and easiest way to ensure that your dress and shoe color match perfectly. With dyeable shoes, you can promote and achieve that overall cohesive look that you want your bridal party to achieve. However, it is very important and note-worthy to understand how dyeables work.

When a company creates a fascinatingly beautiful gown, whether it is for a bridesmaid or a bride, they create the style, the name, and the size range that will be available. The bride-to-be will then be able to choose the color they desire, depending on their overall wedding theme, for the dress style that they have fallen in love with. Dyeable fabrics, whether they are being used on dresses or shoes, can enable you to focus on the style and cut of the piece instead of having to worry about finding it in the color of your choice. With dyeables, you can achieve any color you desire. It is the intricate process of dying fabrics that allows brides to find exactly what they are looking for in terms of color and style for their bridesmaid dresses, and other wedding party attire.

The same process works for using dyeables when it comes to the shoes that you are picking out for your bridal party. You can simply choose the shoe that you like the best, and then decide on a color afterwards. Often, dyeable shoes can be dyed to the exact same color that your bridesmaid dresses are, by bringing in a swatch from the dress for the dyer to compare to. You will be able to dye your exquisite shoes the exact color of any dress, even if you have chosen an extremely unique and uncommon color.

It is usually a good idea to allow the company that you got your shoes or dress from to do the dying for you. Although it might seem like an easy task, it is not worth the risk of messing up the fabric and losing the money you spent on them. You also want to be sure that everyone in your wedding party tries on their shoes and dresses before ordering them. This will help to make sure that every member of your bridal party gets the right size, and is comfortable and ready for a complete night of fun and dancing.

Dyeable shoes can be a godsend if you want your bridesmaids to wear shoes and dresses that match. Once upon a time, dyeable shoes all came in a basic style, mid-heel pumps that were practical and fairly plain, so that the only embellishment was the color. These days, there are literally hundreds of styles in dyeable shoes. For this reason, you can choose shoes that are as fancy or as plain as you like, in just about any heel height or style that suits your fancy.

There are, however, a few drawbacks to ordering dyeable shoes. The biggest of these is the difficulty, or near impossibility, of getting an exact color match. The fact is that you will not get an exact match no matter what you do. That’s partly because the shoes and dress are made in different fabrics, and partly because it’s nearly impossible to get the exact same color from one dye lot to another.

One thing that is important to keep in mind when approving the color of your shoes is that lighting can affect the dyed color. Natural, outdoor lighting is full-spectrum light with ultra-violet light ranges that will affect the color that you see. Natural sunlight will add pink tones to the color of your shoes, and your handbag if you choose to carry a dyeable purse as well. You may even see a difference in color between direct sunlight and shaded light outdoors.

Make a point to always compare fabric swatches for your shoe color in an environment that is close to the environment of your wedding day. A similar environment is important because the lighting should be similar in both areas. In other words, if your wedding will be mostly outdoors, you should check the color of your shoes and how they match to your dress in natural daylight. If the event is indoors, try to find out what kind of light the hall uses. Fluorescent lights are different from others, and some halls may be using full-spectrum lighting. Check the match for your shoes and dress under that light.

Other things to keep in mind when ordering dyeable shoes include these tips:

Most online shoe shops will sell dyeable shoes, but you’ll need to find someone local to actually do the dye job for you. Some online bridal shops allow you to select dyeable shoes online, but many only sell dyeable shoes through offline outlets so that they can control the dyeing properly. The style of the shoe that you choose can minimize any color match problems. For instance, a strappy sandal with rhinestone trim won’t show a color difference anywhere near as clearly as a shoe with more fabric surface. If you’re planning to dye your shoes, choose a shoe that starts out in ecru or off-white rather than one in pure white. Pure white has a blue undertone that will change the color of the final dyed shoe by adding a hint of blue to it. Ecru fabric tends to dye more true to color. Dyed shoes will not be waterproof. In order to prevent staining or running, it’s important that you spray your shoes with a water repellant spray. Be sure to check an inconspicuous area of the shoe to be sure that it won’t change the shoe color. Avoid the problems with dyeable shoes by buying factory-dyed shoes made by manufacturers that tie their shoe colors to colors being used each season in the bridal and prom industry. If you shop at a wedding site online, you’ll often find shoes and gowns in the same color name; especially popular this season are colors like “Watermelon” and “Truffle”. These shoes have been dyed to match colors in the fashion industry as closely as possible, more closely than most custom dyers will be able to match. In fact, many custom dyers recommend that option if you’re choosing shoes that come in a pre-dyed option. If all of your bridesmaids are wearing the same color dyeable shoes, try to have them all dyed at the same time to get the best possible match. Even the most skilled dyer may not be able to exactly duplicate the color from one shoe to the next if they are dyed at different times. If your dress is a print, choose one color to match. An inexact color match won’t be as obvious when you dye shoes to match a single color in a print fabric. Choose shoes made from a fabric that is closest to the dress fabric. If your dress is silk or another shiny material, choose satin shoes to more closely replicate the light reflective properties of the fabric. If your dress is matte, choose a shoe made of crepe or another matte fabric.
