awww good luck! My guy is 1/2" shorter than me so I went with some very flat resort sandals. He actually went out and bought some dress shoes that had a thick sole in them--definitely think about buying his instead of tux shoes b/c tux shoes are SUPER thin. And painful
I don't know if you are one to spend $275 on shoes but here is a pair from Kate Spade:

Thanks you guys!
I'm looking for shoes around~$100-150 max.
lamp>> those shoes might cost the same as my wedding dress! Hehe...
ejs>> Yea I think he will :) Just gotta find those "hidden soles" that can lift him up a lil more ^_^
hotchild>> great find! thx :)
I believe you can get Nina shoes in varying heights...
I feel you on the height thing! Good luck! I'm just wearing flats... cute and comfy.
I have the same problem ... my FH is about my height maybe a smidge taller ...check these out...i got the hot pink. It doesnt really match anything in my wedding but i wanted something cute and sassy. Very comfortable !It is really hard to find short heels i searched for weeks.
KeriC>> OMGosh! Those are SO cute! Love em. I think you might have just helped me find my shoes! :) Have you worn them for a long time? Are they still comfy? Wish they had it in RED, but the hot pink is way cool :)
are you open to other colors? I wore some funky Biviel ballet flats, but now I can't find them, as it has been awhile (they were on sale)...here are some other ones from them on sale:

Mine also had to be
oh, and what does your dress look like? Here are some closed toe ones in white:

2" open toe http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=19831&vid=1&pid=674645&scid=674645002
2" closed toe, more than one neutral color
also, if you see a shoe that is a little too tall, you can get a shoe repair shop to chop it down, or better yet, be a 2 shoe bride!
cannotwait>> yes I LOVE color. Thanks for the links on the shoes. I've been Zappo-ing it up, but I will definitely look into Piperlime more - another bee also mentioned it.
We have the same problem.
I ordered these:

but might exchange them for these:

Good luck!
I'm also finding some cut ones @ 2.25", but here are some shorter ones that come in a lot of colors, but are mary janes:

I did a search on red, since you mentioned that, but don't forget you can embellish other ones if you think they are too plain! Just use some old clip ons.
oh, and I forgot I found a ton on like.com here is one it took me to that has neutrals, but the white is dyeable
http://www.shoebuy.com/coloriffics-andie/186405/571247?cm_mmc=like-_-none-_-none-_-none
lots of other cute options that have small heels, rather than ballet flats, but I'd really try to figure out his shoes first if you can
OK, I'm starting to feel like a crazy lady for posting again, so now I will STOP, lol
http://www.shoebuy.com/coloriffics-carmen/154941/358550?cm_mmc=like-_-none-_-none-_-none
and I feel your pain, as I caved and got ballet flats, but I also had a winter wedding, so it worked out, though I felt a little "squatty" in my posture!
eureka>> I love that you're going for the red patent leather look! The flats make the dress more cute and romantic, and the pointed heels will make the dress more trendy/fashionista-style. What are you going for?
cannotwait>> lol keep them coming! :) I actually really like the gabriella rocha shows and the 2nd coloriffics weren't bad too. Have you ever dyed any shoes? I wonder how it'll all come out...
Eureka >> these are sound more rounded toe flats in red patent!

@Phannie: Sorry I didn't respond sooner... Thanks for sending the link to the blue flats. I wouldn't mind a rounded shoe (though I prefer pointy or square), but what I don't like about that one is the black piece on the back. Looks a little too sporty for a wedding.
I haven't decided whether I'm going with the flats or the pointy heels. I think I like them both the same in terms of looks. I would prefer the height of the taller ones, but I think these shoes are just a smidge too big for me, so unless I get something to put inside of them, they may come off, especially if I wear hose.
So, long story short: no, I haven't decided yet! Good thing I ordered them both from Zappos and don't have to rush to return them!
Have you decided yet?
eureka>> oh good eye on the black detail in the back! Didn't even see that.
No, I haven't decided yet, but I just found a site that gives guys an "invisible lift" and the shoes look great. I'll probably start a new thread on that, b/c ppl might be interested. My FI wouldn't mind being a lil taller, cuz some of his groomsmen are over 6 ft!

I need help.
My FI and I are the same height (and we're not that tall.)
I want a pair of shoes that will look good on and good off (for those always-taken shoe photos). Every pair I've fallen in love with have had a good 3 inch heel on them.
I'm asking for 1.5in heels or less...is it even possible??
Ideally, they'd be a lil sexy, but it's hard to find "sex me" shoes when you're an inch off the floor. So I will settle for "cute" or "interesting."
Please let me know if you've seen any! Otherwise, my man will have to find some 3 inch lifts
(Actually, if you know of any good lifts for dudes, do tell!)
