Green Shoes??
April 10th, 2008 @ 3:27 pm by Miss Sundae
I keep thinking about these green shoes that Marie Labbancz shared on The Bride’s Cafe last week.
My first thought was how I would kill for those shoes, quickly followed up by the realization that I have my own pair of blue soled, peep toe shoes waiting to be dyed the color of my dress:
Shoes by Something Bleu from MyGlassslipper.com
And we’re also the proud owners of these Brooks Brothers ties, which one could take in and give to the person who is dying my shoes for color matching:
They’re actually a brighter green than they look in the pictures. And it obviously wouldn’t have to be the exact shade of green. I am in love with my shoes, so I am not going to rush out and buy myself a pair of Christian Louboutins, but I need to have my shoes dyed anyway. I could easily dye them green instead of ivory. What do you think…traditional ivory or funky green? Are you planning to wear colored shoes?

I bought those Christian Louboutins in a patent wine color for my wedding and LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE them! However, since you already have shoes, I vote for dying them a fun green color! It makes for great pics, and its a fun little secret to have 
Green! I’m wearing chartreuse Kate Spades and I can’t WAIT to see the looks on everyone’s faces when they see that shock of chartreuse peeking out from under my long white dress. I say go for it!
Green is our big accent color and I am hoping to either find a bright yellow green shoe or go the dyeable route. I want something fun! An ivory shoe would just not do anything for me personally and the green I would totally wear again. I would say go for it! But if you want something more traditional the ivory will look nice also.
I’m also wearing green shoes. Mine are a light green, but I am excited about them nonetheless!
go for it!
it will be fun.
you know what i would do first is put on your whole outfit with these shoes and use photo editing to color the shoes green to see what it would look like.
i did this before i made any alterations to my dress because it harder to go back in time you know.
oh and im wearing black shoes but i don’t think that counts as colored.
You’ll get a lot more use out of them if you dye them green! And that’s a gorgeous green!
Just bought my fuschia satin heels and I can’t wait to put it all together! I love the idea of colored shoes!!!!
I always love when I see those unexpected little pops of color!! I say do it….you will absolutely get to use green shoes again, and you probably will have little use for the ivory ones!!
GREEN!!!! I love bright shoes under a wedding dress! And you can wear them with jeans and black dresses in the future. I love that shade of green, btw.
GREEN! Yay for Green
I am in Love with a pair of green j.crew heels. I think they’d be perfect and super fun, but I can’t seem to pull the trigger on a $200 pair of shoes. Not to mention, I haven’t picked out my dress yet, and I have over a year until the wedding- I think I’d be too tempted to wear them!
FUN-KY GREEN! FUN-KY GREEN!
i’m definitely going with a fun color or printed shoe under my dress.
anything less wouldnt be holding true to my character, 
i actually really like your shoe. its a perfect low heel…and since my FH and i are practically the same height, i dont want much of a heel.
might just have to check it out……
I’m going with leopard. My mother is horrified.
Those shoes are awesome! Definitely do green =) So much better than boring white/ivory!
My mom was horrified enough by my non-white dress… not even showing her my very blue shoes Amanda, you rock =)
I say you should go with the green.
I am wearing burgundy shoes.
go with green!
mine are gold (mom freaked) but I think what’s even better is my fuschia crinoline!! People are going to looooooove that!!
i like the green (from a photography perspective… just think of the photos! lovely) but my mom and FMIL would kill me
i wonder if you can dye them ivory and re-dye them green after?
I say go green! I think it would be a lot cooler than ivory and much more unique. It seems that red and blue are popular, so go green and be unique!
You know you want to go green! Do it, do it! I think it looks so nice to have the stark contrast of the white dress with a pop of color in the shoe, and it looks good in photos…imagine the whole photo in black and white with your only your green shoes in color…
I say hecks yea, go with the green shoe!
Green!
I am wearing madras sandals!
Green! Green green GREEN!!
I am DYING for green shoes to wear my own self, so please let me live vicariously through you until i can find a pair of my own (that don’t cost half my paycheck)! Oh, please dye them green!!
Definitely go green! You can’t see your shoes much of the time anyway, and it’s a fun way to insert some fun and personality into things.
I’m wearing dark purple shoes… I don’t think it’ll surprise too many people who know me and my love of color
Absolutely 100% green!! I LOVE those shoes, both yours and the Christian Louboutins of course!
Though I must admit I struggled with this decision myself. I was on the hunt for the perfect pair of red shoes and found a gorgeous pair of ivory ones I fell in love, SOOOO I have both!!!! An ivory pair and a red pair… can a girl really have too many shoes???
Green, yes, definitely. I’m wearing some green Kate Spades myself and I am so excited. I wear them around the house all the time, you know, “to break them in.” But mostly because I love them. I have a tea length dress though so no tiny peeks of color for me. Go big or go home!
yay. mine are green too. my mom thinks its “tacky” and I couldnt care less!
I’m wearing black, like leticia said above- im not sure if it counts as a color but i love it! Do something different - you’ll never wear ivory shoes again!
ok. I’ll just add my “green!” to everyone elses.
can’t be seen until you want them to be - might as well make them stunning. and make sure you get the photographer to take some shots of them. I realize that its resoundingly popular right now to add a little funk and fun - but give fashion a couple decades and “popular” might be diamond white from head to toe. You’ll love the look on your (hypothetical) kid’s face when they see how avant guard their mother was!
Yes, definitely green! I’m wearing fuschia shoes and I LOVE them. And isn’t that how you should feel about everything you’re wearing on your wedding day?
I love Louboutin’s . The greens pair definitely.
Go for the green
Im wearing a pair of blue heels from J Crew, I can’t wait!!
Go for the green! I’m wearing dark purple and couldn’t be more cised!
Oh! do them green. You’ll be able to wear them and they make for very cute pictures to have something unexpected peak out. I am wearing floral printed kitten heels.
i say go for the green…. mine are champagne satin that match my sash. they have gold bling in the peeptoe & 50’s style heels. i love that they arent “typical”.
Please go for the green. I think colored shoes with wedding dresses are awesome. Its such a fun way to add a pop of color. I think that green is gorgeous, but don’t go buy new shoes. The shoes you have now will look good that way too. I’m dying my shoes purple. I brought in a swatch of the bridesmaids dresses.
Another vote to go green — those Louboutins are amazing! And I love the green in the BB ties . . . I think it would be stunning to dye your shoes green!
My mom talked me out of wearing fun shoes by saying “your shoes will poke out from under your dress and it will look funny in every picture”… um yeah, I have my pictures back and she was wrong. Not only are my shoes not showing in most of our pictures, the ones where my shoes are showing would be super cute and dramatic with ‘fun’ shoes - I say go for it!!!
Love, love, love the green shoes! I’m bias on the subject since green is one of our wedding colours. Make sure to permanently hold up your dress all day just to show them off!
Absolutely love colored shoes with wedding dresses…I’m wearing green Christian Louboutins. I bought them before I bought my dress
Life is short… go with the GREEN!
I am actually trying to find a nice pair of green heels (a lighter green) if possible. I saw the jcrew & kate spade ones but a little to dark. any suggestions? please
