Brides wearing flats??

Kailyn, on December 7, 2016 at 6:49 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

My fiancé is only a couple inches taller than me and I don't want to tower him in our wedding photos. Having a hard time finding beautiful flats that I LOVE though. Also not sure what to ask my maids to wear so they don't tower over me either. Their wearing long gowns too

    Why does height matter? You should wear whatever you're comfortable in, and let your BMs do the same! It won't look weird in the photos, people of all different heights are in pictures together all the time.

    My husband is an inch taller than I am and I'm an avid boot wearer.....the only time the me being taller than him thing ever bothered me was when we first met because I was worried he would care. I quickly learned he didn't care if I was taller than him in heels so it never bothered me, I wore kitten heels for our ceremony and flats the rest of the day mostly for comfort.....I say try not to over think it but you can get short heels need be! This is one of my favorite wedding pics and you can see my flats in plain sight, whatever is gonna ease your mind is what I would go with but don't think you HAVE to wear heels to be a bride or anything like that, you'll be fine! (I found my shoes at DSW, BTW, in case you haven't checked there!)

    I wear heels when we go out and have no problem being taller but it's just my wish to be shorter in my wedding photos lol. Maybe I'm crazy but it's what I want. Also I figure in flats I'll be comfy all day and not have to change shoesSmiley smile I'd love to see some more pictures of flats that you ladies are wearing

    I will be wearing 2 in or less heels. Fiancé is 3 inches taller barefoot but I like when he's taller than me so I didn't wanna tower over him with 5 inch heels. I found some cute customizable ones on Etsy where you can pick your own size heel.

    My fiancé is a lot taller than me but I'll still be wearing flats because I'd rather not fall over walking down there aisle. Lol

    I am taller than my FH. Wearing a minimal heel (less than an inch) - shoesofprey - can't recommend them enough. I used in our recent dance lesson and they are very comfortable and elegant. If you aren't familiar, you design your own pair

    FH and I are the same height, and I'm not a fan of heels. I'm wearing navy ballet flats, so they'll be my something blue!

    I'm taller then FH by about an inch and for some reason height has bothered me my whole life and I never wanted to be with anyone shorter then me. However I love him and that's silly haha but I will be wearing flats.

    I don't understand the big deal. Wear whatever shoes you want. Who cares if you're a little taller?

    Me and my FH are the same height! I hate wearing heels for extended periods of time anyways, so these are what I'm wearing! We have to make it very, very clear that the floors are safe for my feet! Lol. They're always an option, though Smiley smile

    I hate heels so I got these beautiful flats on the bhldn website! They are so pretty and I can wear them after the wedding too.

    I completely fell in love with some ballet slippers on etsy. I haven't purchased them yet, but they are very elegant and look incredibly comfy.

    I told bridesmaids they can wear whatever footwear they choose. Their gowns are floor length so it won't make a HUGE deal.
