dying shoes?

[karieokie]

ive just bought a pair of ivory, satin shoes from next for my wedding, i thought they were white but they are ivory (i need them very white) - anyone know if i can dye them? if so any recommendations on products/ companies??
thanks!

To go whiter, you'd have to use some sort of bleaching agent which, I'm guessing, would ruin the shoes. Going darker would be easier.

Maybe you could take them back? Or are they the ideal pair?

Wedding shops may have someone they regularly use. My friend got her shoes at a wedding fair, they were perfect, cheaper than usual and made to the exact colour. There are usually a lot of fairs in the summer with a lot of excellent small businesses offering their services, but it depends how soon your wedding is.

Good luck with the shoes and the big day!

I read your post as...." just bought a pair of shoes for my next wedding" Ooh I thought that's planning ahead ! If you decide to buy a different pair my daughter got hers from Viva la Diva.
