What shoes to wear with an ivory dress? Matching or in another colour?

    I'll be wearing a tea-length ivory dress which means my shoes will be completely on display. Should I stick with ivory or will it be too hard to match? Or should I use colour? I love the look of red with ivory, but my favourite colours are blue and green which may not be as great. Thoughts?

    Also, please feel free to share pictures of the shoes you wore with your ivory dress! :)

    What are your wedding colors?  I think any bright color would be great!

    Red would look really nice with the ivory. Also depending on what shades of green you like, you could make a really nice statement also. My dress is ivory and my BM's are in jade green and next to each other it looks awesome.

    We haven't picked wedding colours yet. Could I get away with red shoes if red wasn't in our colour scheme or would that stand out too much?

    My favourite shades of green are mint and emerald, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to find shoes in either of those shades.

    You could get away with red shoes even if t's not in your color scheme as long as it doesn't clash.

    Emerald would look really nice next to ivory, if you could find shoes, or you could always have a pair of white ones dyed to a specific color.

    Red shoes would look great!  Blue or green would look nice too.  But... what are your wedding colors?  I think just about any color would look good.  I think the style of shoe is more important.  I suggest a slingback or pump.

    You could do blue shoes for your something blue.

    I love the idea of blue shoes with an ivory or white dress! Any color would look great though, red especially.
