    are your wedding shoes? I got measured yesterday with 2 inch shoes (hollow to hem) because they seemed the most comfortable. I just borrowed some from the bridal shop for the measurement since I haven't found shoes yet. Now I'm a little worried that I will have trouble finding 2 inch heels because everything I find seems to be 2 3/4 or more.

    Now I'm curious. How high are your wedding shoes? Anyone find some cute ones in the 2 inch range?

    At exactly 5' tall, I am more self-conscious about my height than almost anything else. It doesn't help that R is 6' or a little over, and towers over me! Even in 4" heels I look teeny tiny next to him, so no way am I going under 4". I wouldn't go over 5" though. 

    Good thing I like heels and thank goodness for wonderful designers who make to-die-for shoes of all heights that are still comfortable.

    I had shoes that were only around 2".  My husband is about a half foot taller than me but I didn't want to wear really high shoes and have pain in my feet.

    I would really like a 4 inch shoe.  I honestly can't walk that well in flats (don't ask), love being tall, and love the way my legs look in higher heels.  However, FI is only 4" taller than me and I don't want to be taller than him at our wedding.  So 4" would be the perfect heel height.  With an ankle strap so I can dance with ease!

    I just measured my shoe, and it's officially 3" so I guess I lied on the poll.  (sorry)

    My shoes look like the ones in the link below, except they were made by Ulisted.  It looks like this one might be a 2" heel though.

    I am super short (a little under 5') so I am wearing 4" heels. My FI is not that tall but I'm still quite a bit shorter than him with 4" heels. And the heels I found are pretty comfy considering the height. But to answer your question, I think you should be able to find cute shoes with a 2" heel.

    I'm going with a 3 inch heel,  being 5'2 with FH 6'2,  I need to make up the height difference somehow!

    2" heels are so easy! Half of Coloriffics, Touch Ups... the bridal brands are around 2"! Try doing a search for 1/2-1"-ish shoes like me... now those are hard!

    3.5" heel, and I think it's the perfect height! Like many of you other high-heeled bees, I'm 11" shorter than FI.

    While I LOVE nice high heels, I'm going with flats b/c I'm the exact same height as my FI (5'10").  While I often wear 4" heels when we go out anyways, I want to feel somewhat 'dainty' on my wedding day and that isn't going to happen if i'm towering over him hehe!

    Thanks for the help gals. I will have to check out those brands. :)

    @buttons- love the live dangerously line! I would definitely be dangerous in heels that high!

    Hey! My shoes are 2 inch heels. I love them! Couldn't go higher or I would be taller than FI. :)

    I bought mine in gold, but they come in a variety of colors. Just google Bella Vita Sante and you find stores that sell them.
