What Color Shoes to Wear With Off White Wedding Dress

The ivory wedding dress is an absolute classic. Sophisticated and timeless, all brides look good wearing ivory for their special day. But while the dress is an easy decision, picking the right pair of shoes can be a lot more complicated.

Choosing shoes to wear with an ivory wedding dress doesn't have to be difficult. Neutral shades, bold colors, patterns, and sparkles – all can look wonderful paired with ivory. In fact, the only thing to avoid is bright white, as this can make the ivory seem dirty in comparison.

The style and color of the shoe is quite flexible. From the size of the heel to the materials used, the shoe can be a fantastic way to add an extra dash of personality.

This guide rounds up some of the best shoes available for a good price. Whether it's a subtle nude or a bold print, the perfect shoe is definitely out there.

Neutrals or Nudes

Let's be honest: the dress is the star of the show. A wedding dress is something that many young girls dream of, and choosing the right one should be a real highlight of the entire wedding experience.

A nude shoe can be perfect for an ivory dress because it doesn't draw attention. Sophisticated and sleek, a neutral shoe sits quietly beneath the dress and doesn't steal any of the focus.

Although we can spend a lot of time stressing over the shoe choice, for most of the day they won't actually be seen. Wearing a shoe in a neutral color won't draw the eye, and the dress is able to speak for itself.

Nude shoes are those which come in a color similar to a skin tone. Browns and creams are what you need to look out for. When you're picking a nude shoe, it doesn't actually have to match your skin tone. Think of nude lipsticks – you won't necessarily pick one that blends into the face.

If you choose a neutral shoe, earth tones and grays are the traditional choice. Interestingly, navy blue is also considered a nude, because it adapts to any color.

Another advantage of the nude shoe is it allows you to play around a bit with the style. Nudes are simple, so you can let your personality shine in other ways.

Metallic

Metallic shoes are essentially nudes with a bit of sparkle. Gold, silver, bronze, will all go with an ivory dress, and they're a bit more fun than a basic nude.

A metallic shoe can be the perfect choice to pull your look together. The fashion rule is to never mix metallic colors, so picking a silver shoe can help make decisions for jewelry, hair, and even makeup.

The wonderful thing about metallic shoes is that they add personality, without drawing focus from the dress. They also transition perfectly to evening wear, and you'll be desperate to get on the dance floor with some of these options.

Pastels

All weddings are a romantic occasion, but if you want a real fairy tale vibe, it's hard to go wrong with a pastel shoe. Pale colors are dreamy, and they give a soft finish to an ivory dress.

Pinks, purples, blues, greens, yellows – pastel shades go so well with ivory. They give that slight touch of color without being daring.

It's easy to shy away from color because weddings are such a traditional affair, but pastels allow you to add that pop. If you're a bride who sighs over dreamy images of flowering meadows, then a pastel shoe might be just right.

Pastels are great for both traditional and modern weddings. They don't overwhelm, and they go amazingly with natural materials and light, airy spaces.

If you're struggling to think of a color for your shoes, then imagine the flowers in your wedding bouquet. Matching your shoes to your bouquet is a really cute touch, and it helps to pull together a look.

Champagne

Champagne should be all over weddings! It's not only the drink for celebrations, but it's the color for it too. Champagne shoes are in that same off-white category as ivory, which makes them a choice that matches without being too similar.

If you're a fan of metallic, but don't want to go quite that bright, champagne is the perfect middle ground. It's almost a metallic neutral, which is why it's so adaptable. For an evening wedding, champagne simply glows under the lights.

The only problem with champagne is that, much like ivory, it can be a few different colors. Be careful to try the shoes with your dress before the big day.

Bright Colors

Bright colors with a wedding dress? It might seem crazy, but a bold tone could be just what you're after. It acts as an amazing contrast to the classic white of ivory, and adds so much personality.

Imagine the skirt of your ivory dress, fluttering around you with each step. As it moves, your guests get a little glimpse of a splash of color. It's exciting and tantalizing, without ever ruining the effect of your classic ivory gown.

A bright shoe in a modern venue is a match made in heaven. Weddings are such a traditional occasion, but they're also a celebration of people in love. Brightly colored shoes are the confetti of an outfit.

If you want to go for bright colors, you need to go bright. It should stand out against the pale ivory, like a punctuation mark at the end of a poetic sentence.

Dark Colors

By this point, you're probably thinking that literally every color will go with ivory – and you're not far off. Dark colors are tricky to get right, but they can make a sophisticated choice for an elegant bride.

Dark colors cast a real contrast against the white of an ivory gown, but they don't stand out. Instead, the pared back shades are a surprisingly quiet choice. They're particularly good for small winter weddings.

There's a sense of maturity to dark shoes, which is why they tend to be favored for simple weddings. Dark blue, burgundy, forest green, or a rich purple are all good choices. They look at their best with a relatively simple gown, where the darker colors don't weigh down the decorations.

Patterns or Print

Everyone loves a wedding where you get to see the personality of the happy couple. Prints and patterns on shoes are perfect for this. Whether you want stripes or spots, leopards or snakes, florals or geometry – a patterned shoe is a way to put your stamp on the special day.

A printed shoe with an ivory dress is wonderful because it's such a surprise. For most of the day, the shoe will be hidden by your gorgeous skirt. But then the moment comes, and you get to reveal the shoe that's underneath. They look so great in photos as well, and allow for some fun posing.

If you want to go for a pattern, don't feel like you have to hold back. Patterns are expressive, and there are so many options available. Because they're high contrast, you don't have to worry about finding the perfect match – the contrast almost is the match.

Patterned shoes are also great choices for bridesmaids. Let them all pick a different design to wear with the same dress for a cute twist on the traditional set up.

Sparkles, Studs, and Transparent

It's literally impossible to go wrong with glitz at a wedding. Sparkly shoes complement every kind of wedding dress, and ivory is no exception. A shoe covered in sparkle doesn't need to match, because it's all glitter.

Like prints and colors, sparkling shoes are a splash of interest under a traditional dress. If you've gone for a simple ivory design, then sparkles give just that bit of drama. And if you have a heavily embellished dress, studded shoes balance the outfit.

If you've dreamed of a fairy tale wedding, it's hard to resist a pair of sparkly shoes. Just go for it, and you can appreciate your sparkly shoes all the way into the night.

Ivory

If in doubt, stick with ivory. This monochrome look is incredibly traditional, and beautifully streamlined. An ivory dress with ivory shoes will make you look like a dream bride.

Ivory is a gorgeous shade, but it isn't universally the same. That means, if you decide to buy ivory shoes, they have to exactly match your dress. If you can, look for shoes when you buy the dress.

A good boutique will have a few options in store. Otherwise, be sure that any shoe you buy can be sent back if it's not quite right. Ivory in just slightly the wrong shade will look strange.

What color shoes should you NEVER wear with an ivory dress?

Ivory dresses may look gorgeous with multiple styles of shoes, but there is one color you should never wear: white. If there's a color that just doesn't work, it's classic and bright white.

This might sound a little strange. How can yellow work with an ivory dress, but white doesn't? Especially as they're so similar. Well, the reason is just how similar they are. Next to pure sparkling white, ivory seems dull and even dirty. A white toe peeking out behind ivory fabric will look super clean, and the ivory just isn't right in comparison.

Of course, white shoes with an ivory gown isn't a disaster, and you may be able to make it work. It's just that with so many colors that complement so well, white really isn't worth the effort.

The best shoes to wear with an ivory wedding dress are the ones that make you feel special. Whether you prefer a classic neutral, a dreamy pastel, or even a wild bold print, ivory is one of the most adaptable dress colors around. So don't be afraid to show some personality. You're sure to look amazing no matter what.
