Hello, its been a long time since I have updated my blog but I felt the need to discuss and elaborate on this subject thats been on my mind for a while and particularly since the launch of Her Best Kept Secret (ssssshhhhhh exactly)
Well I suppose this is the question on everyones lips, is it really cost effective to have your wedding shoes dyed? Well primarily yes the process is amazing because this ensures that you can choose from literally thousands of wedding shoes and have them dyed to match your wedding theme perfectly. Many wedding shoe brands including Rainbow Club and Paradox London offer this facility which is just perfect for the whole bridal party, bridesmaids can have shoes perfectly co-ordinating the dresses and flowergirls can also match.
One thing I will say is this service generally is extremely popular with the Mother Of The Bride but is it really affordable? generally suppliers who offer a dyeing service charge around £30.00 to complete this process and even then they are not colourfast and it is recommended that the consumer scotchguards them otherwise if you do have the unfortunate rain spell on your day your wedding shoes could potentially end up with drip marks as they are not colourfast, meaning after the event you may want them done againand you can only dye shoes darker than their original colour so yes I’ll ask the question again, is it really affordable?
As an avid reader of all the popular wedding magazines including Perfect Wedding and Wedding Ideas and a huge fan of wedding blogs such as Love My Dress and Rock N Roll Bride, it seems apparant to me that brides are embracing the colour phenomenon and choosing vibrant wedding shoes even with stripes / spots and all other pretty designs that gives their wedding theme a particular edge and can be worn time and time again, although of course the dyeing process means simple ivory shoes can be transformed into colours of your choice to wear for anniversaries and so on.
I think it is clear that there is a definite market for coloured wedding shoes, purposely made in those traditional and more elaborate colours that are affordable and eliminate the dyeing process so let me introduce my latest find “Her Best Kept Secret”, the focus of this brand is definitly colours, a few styles but loads of colour choices with more being introduced every season. Her Best Kept Secret was launched purely to eliminate the dyeing process making this brand an extremely popular choice for the whole bridal party.
I love this group shot of the Rosebud Wedding Shoes, a simple classical design incorporating a beautiful hidden platform and just look at those colours ! Personally I adore the Coral for a summer wedding, the sun shining, a beach wedding, an ivory wedding gown and coral shoes, I think this would look particularly fetching.
So yes personally I feel the coloured wedding shoe phenomenon is a huge element to this industry so well done to Her Best Kept Secret.
Not a huge blog for you this morning but I would certainly be interested in the views of this process
