What size heel are you/did you wear?

Posted in Wedding Attire 40

Alright, so I found the cutest shoes to go with my wedding dress. I wanted a lace-type shoe to match my lace dress. Problem is - the heel is four inches. For work I wear 3 - 3 1/2 inch heels almost everyday. Also, I'm 5' 1/2" and my FH is 6' 1" and so the heel would help us look closer to the same...

BUT, I don't want to be a clutz and trip on my wedding day. The shoes seem like they would fit pretty snug, to help with me not tripping but I wanted to ask you all for some advice.

What size heel did you or will you be wearing? Any specific reason why you chose what you did?

I can attach pictures of the shoes and/or dress if you all would like.

Thanks!

ETA: Shoes and dress. :-)

    Your shoes are suuuuper cute!

    I'm dangerous. I'm wearing 5.5" inch heels because I'm short and I don't want to hem my dress Smiley tongue

    I'm already taller than FH, but I'm going to be wearing a 1 1/2in shoe, I'm used to wearing that height already and they are very comfortable.

    If you trip i'd blame it on the long dress. Lol.

    I think you'll be fine, I also wear 3" shoes to work but for special occasions 6" is the norm for me. My wedding heels are 5" just because I want my FH to be just a little taller than me.

    Also your heels are pretty wide, so i'd say you're definitely good. Smiley smile

    I am 5'3 and FH is 6'0. I am wearing 4in heels, one to look taller beside him and two I won't need to get my dress hemmed. I bought 3.5in platform flip flops to change into after our first dance. I like heels but after so long they hurt me. The flip flops will still give me height and I'll be comfy to dance the night away Smiley smile

    I'll be wearing some nice flats of some variety. I am shorter than my FI (I'm 5'11 and he's 6'7) but I am just more comfortable wearing flats than what I would with heels

    I love those shoes! I'm a foot shorter than my FH, so I went with 4 in. heels. I'll probably be taller than my dad :/

    Beautiful!

    my heels are 3.5 inches, which works out nicely. i am 5"4...FH is only 5'8". so i will be completely eye level with him. i wanted to wear flats, but it was either be as tall as FH for the wedding or pay $100 to have my dress hemmed so i could wear flats. needless to say, i chose being eye level...lol. and since i got my shoes on clearance for $10, i couldn't complain.

    Now Mrs. S - Your shoes are so cute and love his socks!

    Kysweetheart - I love those shoes!

    Thank you everyone for the reassurance that I can probably rock the heel. I went ahead and bought the shoes so I'm going to try them out and see how I like them. Smiley smile
