May sound shallow BUT too tall bridesmaid?

Okay, so I need another bridesmaid, and I have the perfect person to fill that spot. Here is the thing, she is 6 feet tall. I'm 5'4" and my bridesmaids are not taller than 5'6". My groomsmen are around 5'6" 5'7" (estimating but very close)... the best man is about 6 feet tall, but he wouldn't walk...

I don't want her to feel out of place in pictures or the person she is walking with (the groommens0 I figured if we do long dresses, she can wear flats, and I think it wouldn't matter in pics.

Would it be okay for her to walk with the Best Man or no? I'm thinking no because the best man is situated already.

My maid of honor is about my height , and shouldn't the maid of honor and best man be introduced together?

Helpme here

I want to ask her, i do but I don't want it to be awkward?

Am I thinking about this too much?

    I just want to point out that you should think how your MOH will feel being booted from the best man. She may be upset and feel she is no longer the MOH because she isn't walking/dancong/being paired with the BM. Just a thought..

    Oh, and no one will notice any flaws in the wedding as much the bride, and only the bride will know what didn't happen the way it was supposed too.. My FH aunt told me this..it was a great piece of advice, although I already knew it.. Smiley winking Are you worried about how it will look in pictures and what not?

    I agree with FMS. I wouldnt worry about it. My MOH is 5'10" and our BM is 5'6"...didnt look dumb at all, its just people. It shouldnt matter how tall they are

    Sounds like you are the person who is going to feel uncomfortable; she has been tall her whole life. You said it: shallow. There are better things to worry about.
