Delightful Dyeables, The Perfect Match
It’s your wedding day, your day to shine. All eyes are on you. Well, some are on only part of you, to be sure. Some of the sharper-eyed ladies will be checking out your shoes. You’ll want to be prepared.
Ok, you’ve spent untold hours scanning magazines in search of the perfect wedding shoes. No luck. It can be truly difficult to find just the right pair, though.
And even after you’ve found great fit, beautiful materials, and overall stellar style, the color may not be right. Isn’t it always the way? Perfection is hard to find in life.
Panic time, right?
Not so fast. How about a pair of dyeable bridal shoes?
Lots of companies will dye your shoes for a small add-on fee. They can match your handbag, dress, or any other part to make your color scheme complete. Or, you can try to do the job yourself.
Dyeable wedding shoes can be a huge headache saver, too. Just think, no more shopping after you’ve found just the right pair. You’d spend more in gas, time, and heartache to find the design you love in another color, if you could find them at all.
With a wedding to plan, you’ve got a lot of things to think about besides shoes. But you can’t rest until you get just the right pair, of course.
The company that offers the service will need something to work with, though. Luckily, there are lots of options for providing the servicer with just what they need to match the color to your exact specifications. You know how it is… sometimes getting close to the color but not exact can be worse than a sharp contrast.
The dyer can work with a color you request, perhaps something you’ve seen in Bridal magazines. But best of all is a swatch you provide with just the shade of pink you were aiming at. Or, maybe a blue that’s not quite Robin’s Egg. Just a little lighter than Sky Blue. Whatever the shade may be, if you can supply a sample, the dyer can match it.
Now the dyer goes to work.
Using computer controlled techniques an electronic sensor judges the precise shade. No need to depend on someone’s subjective taste. After all, they may see that shade slightly different than you do. With a colorimeter the computer detects the exact shade of your sample automatically. The dyer then ‘dials’ it in and… voila! You have a perfect match.
There’s still a lot of expertise involved here. Not all materials absorb dye the exact same way. Satin shoes are a great choice for this technique, since they can be dyed to your exact desired shade. It’s best to start with white, to provide a neutral background for any dye application. The dyer’s expertise will help guide you.
They know that the shade can appear slightly differently in different lights. To make sure you get just what you wanted, check the sample and shoe under various lights. Fluorescents will tip the scale a little bit. Incandescents will do better. Best to use natural sunlight, though, even if you plan to have your ceremony indoors.
Now, on to those pesky thousand other things you have to think about…
