Light Pink Mary Jane Heels for Bridesmaids and Weddings
Blush and light pink shoes are a gentle choice for a 1920s-themed wedding. Bridesmaids in champagne, ivory or dusty rose dresses can all wear the same pair, and the color photographs well next to white flowers. For the bride, light pink Mary Jane heels give a small hint of color under an ivory gown, an alternative many brides like to plain white satin.
The slingback version leaves the back of the heel open, which feels lighter at a summer ceremony, while the round toe pair keeps the foot fully covered for a church or an air-conditioned hall.
Styling Light Pink Mary Jane Heels with a Flapper Dress
Pink and black is a very 1920s pairing: a black fringe dress with pink shoes and a pink feather headband looks deliberate and fun. Pink also sits well with gold beaded dresses, mint green, lavender and navy. Avoid an exact pink-on-pink match unless the shades are identical; a shoe slightly lighter than the dress looks better than a near miss.
The round toe model also exists in a metallic finish, if you want to compare it with our silver mary jane heels.
Stiletto or Slingback: Light Pink Mary Jane Heels Compared
A stiletto heel is the slimmest and the dressiest; it lengthens the leg under a midi or knee-length dress and suits prom, homecoming or a cocktail party. A slingback has a strap behind the heel instead of a closed back, which some wearers find easier on the ankle. The round toe style is the most relaxed of the group and goes with wide-leg trousers or a pleated skirt during the day.
The stiletto pair also comes in white, red, black, yellow and apricot, and the slingbacks in beige and black, handy if a friend wants the same model in another shade.
Pink Mary Jane Heels FAQ
Do pink heels go with a black dress?
Yes. Pink and black is a strong, flattering contrast and a popular Jazz Age combination. Repeat the pink once more, in a headband, lipstick or a bag, so the shoes look planned.
Are slingback Mary Janes secure enough for dancing?
The instep strap does most of the work, so they hold the foot reasonably well. For a full night of swing dancing, a closed-back style or a lower heel is usually steadier.
How do I clean light-colored heels?
Wipe marks off quickly with a slightly damp cloth and let the shoes air-dry. Store them in a dust bag, as pale shades show scuffs sooner than dark ones.
