Shoe Dilemma!

My fiance is 5'9 and I am 5'6. I LOVE heels, but do not want to be taller than him on our wedding day. I've been looking at flats, but I can't find any that feel/look special enough for a bride. Any ideas of what I should do? Thanks!

Re: Shoe Dilemma!

  • Small heels, or get fun heels for pictures and change into flatter shoes for the ceremony so that you don't look too much taller.
  • Honestly, not seeing the dilemma. I'm half an inch taller than my FI. I'll be wearing flats, and there's lots out there. However, I don't know how you define what's special enough for a bride-that's a matter of taste. Have you considered colored shoes? shoe clips to add feathers or rhinestones? Check etsy. You've got quite a range of shoes to pick from, since you've got 3" to play with.
  • If you wear heels that make you taller than him every other day of your lives, why do you want to look different for your wedding?

  • I totally get wanting to be a few inches shorter than your man on your wedding day.  Here are a few bridal flat options that I thought were cute!


    This Etsy designer seems to specialize in bridal flats: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HydraHeart?section_id=6086774

    You could also find the flats you like and then embellish them with a shoe clip!  http://www.imagebridal.com/bridal-shoes/bridal-shoe-clips/felicia-white-feather-shoe-clips.html

    Good luck!

  • My FI is also only 3 inches taller than I. I found super cute hot pink 2in Stuart Weitzman heels on Zappos (Gigi Ritz). Bit of a splurge, but I really wanted hot pink and I lusted after them for a good 3 months before I finally ordered. They are awesome!!!
  • Check out Starla Sandals, www.starlasandals.com they have really pretty flats = )
