Blue Wedding Shoes

Blue wedding shoes as your something blue

The 'something blue' tradition in weddings is one of the oldest bridal customs in English-speaking culture. A pair of blue bridal heels or blue wedding shoes fulfils this tradition in the most practical and visually effective way possible. Unlike a blue garter or blue hair pin that only the bride and her closest circle will see, blue shoes appear in every photograph from every angle throughout the day.

Choosing the right shade of blue: light blue and baby blue shades in satin or embellished finishes read as soft and romantic against white and ivory gowns. Pale blue in a metallic or pearlescent finish photographs beautifully in natural light. Navy blue reads as polished and intentional rather than bridal-soft, and suits minimalist modern gowns and city or formal venues particularly well. Dusty blue and cobalt blue are bolder choices that suit brides whose overall look is deliberately fashionable rather than traditional.

What colour dress goes with blue wedding shoes? Blue wedding shoes work with almost every bridal gown colour. Against a bright white gown, blue reads as a deliberate pop of colour. Against ivory and champagne, lighter blue shades harmonise with the warm undertones. For bridesmaids, blue shoes are one of the most cohesive footwear choices available, complementing dusty blue, sage, blush, champagne and lavender bridesmaid dresses equally well.

Blue shoes for bridesmaids: a matching pair of light blue or pale blue heels or sandals across the bridal party creates one of the most cohesive and photographically beautiful looks available. Blue is genuinely neutral as a metallic footwear shade - it does not compete with any bridesmaids dress colour in the way a specific bright colour might.
