How To Dye Wedding Shoes
Option 1 - Do It Yourself
If you are the type of person who likes to do things themselves, there are several DIY satin dye kits available specifically for this purpose. These kits can be used on satin shoes and handbags and generally come with specialist satin dye and a brush or sponge for easy application.
As all of these kits differ in how you use them to get the best results. As a general rule, we recommend applying more than one coat of dye depending on the color you are looking to achieve, but always refer to the instructions for the best results.
Option 2 - Use A Shoe Dyeing Service
Using a wedding shoe dyeing service is the fastest, most efficient way of customizing your satin shoes. When you use these types of services, you simply pick the shade of color you like, send your shoes off to be dyed and then enjoy them when they arrive. Simple!
Another great benefit to using a specialized service to dye your wedding shoes is if you can’t find a shade you like from the offered color list, you can often send in a swatch and have them dyed to that exact color. While DIY dyeing your wedding shoes might save you some money, unless you are an expert in doing this type of thing yourself, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to color match with the same precision as these types of services.
