    I've always loved the color sapphire/royal blue. It's my birthstone and I just think it's a gorgeous and romantic color. So naturally, when I got engaged, I knew I had to incorporate it into my wedding somehow, especially since we're going with a wintery theme. I debated on using it for the BM dresses, but ended up deciding on a pale/icy blue instead. Lately I've been thinking I really want to wear sapphire blue shoes on my big day! However, I'm afraid of how it will look with my wedding dress. Did any of you wear blue shoes, or any color shoe in general? I'd love to see pictures. I've already chosen the shoe, it's Davids Bridal "Kitty" I ordered it in white but will have it dyed closer to time.

    So here are my concerns. Will having a sapphire blue wedding shoe look weird since I'm having light blue BM dresses? I was thinking it'd be okay, I kind of want to stand out anyways :)

    And secondly, will it look bad with my ivory wedding dress?

    I'd love your opinions and to see your colored shoes!

    I've attached pictures of the shoe and my dress so you can see :)

    They are from Ann Taylor, but I bought them AGES ago (found them via WB of course!).

    Check eBay or the classified, I'm sure they're still out there.

    @nurselindsey: Nooo I wish!  They are *very* similar looking Martinez Valeros that I bought from Nordstrom.   There are a few bees on here that have the Manolos though *drool*

    @danadelphia - Those are so cute! You will be able to find so many things to wear those with after the wedding, also :]

    @sali - Good luck! Let me know what you find.

    @jgoulart- Those are gorgeous, also! I love that color pink.

    @misspumpkinpenguin - It’s an Allurebridal. They have several chiffon dresses in a pale blue color similar to that shoe. Very affordable also! I love that color.

    @Amanda.lynn- Oh how I love that color orange. Those shoes are awesome!

    Wowza! I love this thread....i really get excited around shoes! ;)  Makes me wanna go shopping. 

    @ mrsmurraytobe, those Tiffany Blues ROCK! i'm not sure what shade of blue, probably a darker blue like a cobalt or royal.

    I think one of the beautiful things about white/ivory dresses is you can literally wear whatever shoes you want. 

    I'm wearing champagne coloured shoes. They're only a slight colour but they have a pearly sheen on them which I love.

    Everyone's shoes are so beautiful! I have just ordered mine: I wanted color,  but somewhat demure color too. I wish I could pull off the bright colored shoe, but I don't think it works with my dress.

    I'm also going with the Nina Critia, in red  :)

    They also come in blue though:

    And I think your dress is simple (in a good way, don't worry!), so you would TOTALLY be able to pull off colored shoes.

    I think your shoes in a darker sapphire blue would look awesome with your dress and would tie in just fine with your lighter bridesmaids dresses. And a bride doesn't need an excuse to wear something blue anyway.

    And here are my shoes just because it's hard to resist a shoe thread.

    I finally decided on my shoes, after searching for the perfect blue shoes...I was hoping to find something with a shorter heel, but turns out every blue shoe I loved was at least 3 inches! I have a feeling these babies will be kicked off after the first dance (they're 4 inches!) =)
