So I've been searching for ivory platform flip flops that aren't to plain. So I decided to just buy a pair of white flip flops and dress them up myself. What do you girls think?

 

Here's a picture of the flip flops I just bought on ebay.

Any ideas how I can make these in more of an ivory color? Or I'd even throw around the idea of putting some color in them!

I am having the same problem. I bought a pair of sandles that are white, but when I chose my dress, I got it in ivory. I am thinking of wrapping ivory ribbon around the bottom of the sandle to make it match better.

 

You could definately add colored rhinestones or ivory to the tops to make them match.

Just to let you know, I ordered my dress in ivory as well but my flip flops were white. The color difference was not that noticeable at all. Actually, what really got me was the fact that the sample dress that I tried on in ivory was sooo dingy & dirty, that I was not prepared for how "white" the actual dress looked when I got it, even though it was really ivory. So you may want to keep that in mind.

 

I cant find the ones that I ordered from Avon that had a little bling, but for those of you still looking for something, here are some that they do have. They are only $6.99 now.

This is them in silver:

Yeah I have those in Black and White. They hurt my toes though, they're to loose over the top of my foot. And yeah, I don't think it'll be that noticeable if the sole is white! I'll just have to get creative!!

You can use acrylic paint from michael's to paint the edge of the sole if you are really worried about the color difference. I found a pretty paint in "sand" or "butter" that came out nicely. I would suggest using colored stones that are also incorporated in your wedding colors. My wedding colors are purple and green with ivory accents.

I attended a beach wedding this summer. The BR wore ivory with tall white flip flops like yours....she simply embellished the top of the straps with little shells and a few pearls. You couldn't even notice the sides of the soles.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
