  I should also add that:
  
  -my wedding colors are pink and green
  -my fiance is not very tall and anything over 4 inches will make me about his height
  - I can't wear slingbacks, they never stay on my feet!
  - I was considering dyeing my petticoat but I think adding a pop of color with shoes will be a less messy way to do that.
  - I have time to think about this (dress won't be in for 4 months), and with Zappos, I can order the shoes and I'll have 365 days to return them.

  The reason the platform was suggested is because it does make the incline less severe on your feet...if you wanted a 3-4 inch incline plus platform height.  (at 5'3" and my FI at 6'4" that's exactly what i want!)
  
  in your case, just go with regular heels in the 2 1/2 inch range.  They'll still be elegant.
  
  as for color, i'm in your boat.  i'm torn too.

  I'm 5'2 and petite, the bridal salon suggested to get a platform shoe so I didn't have to get the bottom hemmed.  My shoes have almost a 5in heel and a platform in the front.  They are actually very comfy, as I wear heels everyday.  My colors are Hot & Light Pink.  I decided the get my shoes dyed a light rose pink, my mom and FMIL didn't like the idea, but I still did it anyway.  Different shoe colors are quite popular now.
  
  I like the shoes on your link, but it doesn't look like it has a platform.

  I think I am going to go with a non-platform shoe since I don't want to be too tall or even the same height as my fiance. If I could find a platform shoe that was less than 3 inches I'd be happy but since i can't find that anywhere, I think I am gonig to have to do without the platform.
  
  I am not worried about having to have the length of the dress altered, I'd rather have to do that than be too tall.
  
  I was going to do a pair of blue undies as my something blue, but after thinking about it I'd rather do it as something people will be able to see and something I won't feel weird about telling people. I think I might order the blue shoes and see how they look and feel.
  
  I'm still not 100% sure what the color of the bridesmaids dresses are going to be so I might order the blue shoes and if I decide later that I'd rathter have pink, I can just send the blue ones back!
  
  Thanks for all your comments! :-)

  I decided to order two different pairs of shoes so that I will have two different heel heights to choose from and also three different colors.
  
  I ordered the blue shoes that I instantly fell in love with

  and also a pair of white shoes that are dyeable so I can, later on down the road, have them dyed pink or keep them white...I'm loving the bling on these shoes too!

  At this point I just want to keep all my options open,...with Zappos, I have so much time to return the shoes if I decide I don't like them, which is awesome!!
