wedding dress shoes

Is it okay to wear silver shoes with a white ballgown wedding dress?

My wedding is coming up in June and I have yet to find shoes. I was going to go with satin white, but very hard to find because the colors are off a little. Would it be ok to wear silver shoes with a white satin ballgown wedding dress? I know white and silver match but not sure if it is the same for a wedding. Please let me know. Thanks so much.

Sure... just make them strappy sandal heels. Regular full coverage shoes in any metallic color is a bit much and gets tacky fast.

Dressing For Tradition: Wedding Dresses Superstitions

There are many superstitious beliefs attached to weddings. And this is not only true to the wedding ceremony itself; some superstitions travel as far back as wedding preparation.

Yes, you can claim to be a 21st-century individual and you can contend that superstitions would no longer apply these days. However, your parents, your groom's parents, and your grandparents will never run out of reminders regarding these beliefs -- however crazy they may sound when put in today's context.

Here are a few superstitions about weddings in general and wedding dresses in particular. And by their nature, these beliefs may or may not have explanations. Let's revisit some of them.

1. It is said that it is unlucky for a bride to make her own wedding dress. While this may come as a very attractive idea to hit up on those savings, you might want to think again.

However, borrowed wedding dresses are lucky -- for you, at least. Seriously though, would you ever allow someone to borrow your wedding dress? A keepsake of one of the most important days of your life? Well, this whole wedding-dress-practice is mostly seen among mother-daughter or grandmother-grandchild relationships. In these cases, wedding dresses can be labelled as sort of an heirloom.

2. Worried about the weather? Well, when it rains during your wedding day, you don't actually have to panic. Many cultures consider it as lucky because the pouring rain signifies blessings --the heavier the downpour, the more blessings for you and your husband!

The worrisome part comes in because of the fact that no one would feel comfortable wearing wet and dirty wedding dresses. This issue would be more pronounced especially if you are having a garden wedding!

3. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Ever wondered what this famous phrase is for? A new bride should have some "things" old, new, borrowed and blue. But there's actually another phrase that's been deleted, and this is: sixpence for my shoe. What do all these mean?

"Old" symbolizes the bride's life before the wedding; "new" is symbolical of new beginnings; "borrowed" is all about luck -- especially when such an item is borrowed from another bride; "blue" actually represents the color of pre-Victorian wedding dresses. Lastly, "sixpence for my shoe" denotes wealth and financial stability.

4. In some Asian cultures, in the Philippines for example, wedding dresses should only be worn on the wedding day itself. Otherwise, something bad will happen and the wedding will not push through. With such a belief, the need for proper fitting and careful measurements are paramount. Imagine wearing a wedding dress that's inches bigger than you!

Despite the modernity of our times, some superstitions still survive. In fact, they are practiced still. It may be sound unscientific if you believe and practice what superstition says about weddings and wedding dresses. However, there's no harm in abiding by them right? You will not lose anything.

On the other side, if you completely ignore what the "oldies" believe to be true, you might feel guilty and you may become anxious. Of course, when something bad happens, your parents, or grandparents would then blame you for not believing in superstition.

Therefore, to make everyone happy, why not accept these superstitious beliefs as they are? This way, you can dress for the occasion, and for tradition.
