I bought shoes that I really love but it's 4.5 inches .. I'm still waiting for them to be deliverd. I might have to return them and look for lower heels. Find the "right shoes" has been one of the hardest tasks for me as I am a shoe whore
Incase you want to see

haha, welcome to my boat 
mine are 4 inches at the moment. I won't be able to to try them on till june though...so that may change
Mine are 4" as well. One issue that I did not anticipate is that I have to take all of our ballroom dance lessons wearing the same heel height that I will have for the wedding, lol. My feet are gonna be killing me by May!!
Those shoes are awesome!
My wedding shoes are only 2.5", but that is because I want to be noticeably shorter than my fiance even after the headpiece and we only have four inches of height difference. However, I have a pair of 4.5" heels that I wear almost every day to court that are seriously the most comfortable shoes I own, if that was what you were worrying about. I am a hard to fit size, so to save myself a lot of frustration, I decided what my "dream shoe" was for the wedding and walked in places and told them exactly what I was looking for and in what size. The second store pulled out about seven variations of what I had described and I walked away with the perfect cute and comfy shoes.
Flats! : ) Getting married on potentially wet grass -- oh well. Usualy I go with a heel that's about 2".
Mine are 4" (but I'll definitely be cheating with some clear gel Dr.Scholl's padding on the ball of the foot.

June bride = That's one of my top choices but my feet are too wide and I was afraid they're gonna look like sausages with those shoes. I love your shoes! I've never used those clear gel padding. Do they work?
I've not yet picked out my shoes but I'm looking for something in the 3" to 3 1/2" range. My FH is 8" taller than me so I'm looking to close the gap a little bit.
If the heels are to high why don't you just them cut down. Go to a shoe repair shop and they should be able to cut your heel down with out messing up the heel. I do this all the time; turning my 4" into a 3". It really helps!!!
I was supposed to be a two shoe bride. The first pair were 3", but when I wore them for the pre-wedding photos they hurt my feet so bad that I ended up taking them off and wearing my reception shoes for everything. My reception shoes were 2.5" and super comfy.
Here is a pic of the two shoes -- the silver ones were the uncomfy ones, the blue ones are the ones I ended up wearing the whole time.

I'm barefoot!I'm actually making my "shoes" and those for my bridesmaids...

I am THAT girl who would totally trip and fall flat on my face even though I can normally walk in heels just fine. If you know you can go 6 hours in 4" + heels - go for it, but if you just think they are pretty -PRACTICE and test!!

onlyonelove54 <font size="2">- I love you! I was thinking of getting my heels cut but I never heard of such a thing. Do you just go to a regular shoe shop? Does it ruin the shoe stability?</font>
Mine are 2.5 inches! I never wear heels so I have to get used to even walking in heels in 5 months! If I knew how to walk in a four inch heel, I would.
Mine were around 4 inches... I wore them through the ceremony and switched to really tall white rocket dogs for the reception. My husband is much taller than me so I really appreciated the extra height for pictures! It looked more balanced.
Springb2b- yeah they fit use like they were never cut down. I do it all the time. p.s. I got the idea from my grandma she loves shoe and most of the ones she love is in a high heel. So she just goes in get them cut down. pretty cool huh.
Just go to a shoe repair shop ang they should be able to tell you if you can do it or not. Good luck!!!!
Thanks ..Thanks..Thankss for the tip!

I LOVE the shoes!! So pretty!! I'll be the bride in flats because if I wear my heals, I'm as tall or taller then the boy, so flats it will be - unless I can find something perfect that is less then an inch and a half.
Maybe I should start looking for something all pretty like those!!
@springb2b: I also have wide feet so I ordered a half size larger than normal. I'm usually a 7, but got a 7.5. As it turned out, they are extremely true to size and they are quite wide at the front straps. So I'd get them to try them on! (I got them online, is that where you saw them too?)
And I use those clear dr.S's gel pads all the time in most of my heels. They work wonders!
@onlyonelove54: I've gone to diff shoe repair shops, they flat out refused to shorten the heels (on several occasion) because it destroys the "natural shoe balance" when manufactured.*shrug*
I think mine were about a 1/2"! But that was one of my requirements - very low heel! I'm not too smooth on heels so I didn't want to fall or have my feet be hurting all day. I think if you are comfortable in heels that high than it should be fine! If not, look for something you feel comfortable in (walking and dancing!)
Mine were just about an inch, but thats cause my hubby is only 2 inches taller than me! Normally I wear 3-4 inch heels - if the heels are comfy, go for it!
Mine are below (except mine are taupe). Not too high, but enough to get my 5'2" self off the ground a bit. I've been wearing them around the house to get used to the height without damaging them.

springb2b I love love love your shoes. And due to my choosing a dress which would be very difficult & expensive to alter the length of, my shoes must be a minimum of 4 inches. Your shoes would be perfect for me. I've been online shoe shopping til I'm (gasp) sick and tired of looking at shoes! Would you mind sharing info about them - if they have a name, where you ordered them, etc.?
mine are 4 1/2 inch heels with a platform in front - not sure how high the platform section is though.

Mine are wedges. My fiance isn't too much taller that me and I would like to be comfortable. What you ladies think?

@loralie - Thanks! I know! It took me this long to find the "one". I'm afraid I might end up with 5 different pairs later on as I don't stop looking LOL!They were on sale!
I might get the pink one too haha!

@springb2b - I never thought to check Amazon for shoes. Well, that's for another night of shoe shopping. I read some of the reviews for the shoes you ordered, and some of them aren't very flattering. Can you let us know what your opinion is when they come in (quality, and especially how true to size they are... I'm a size 7 but I have wide feet so I'm always a little leery of ordering online) Also, how's Amazon's return policy? I know that with zappos, you can order a bunch of shoes and just send back the ones that don't make the cut.
Thanks so much for sharing!!
4" with a hidden platform... the dance lessons are going to be interesting!
This is my first time ordering from Amazon so we'll see. I know the reviews aren't great but I'm hard-headed and love the shoes. LOL! Will let you know once I get them!
Mine are 3.5" platform but I think that I am gonna get a 3" flip-flop for the reception. I just don't think that my feet will handle these shoes the whole day!
JenineD - I love your shoes. Where'd you get them? Do they come in different colors? Thanks!
3.5 inches, I kept them on from pics starting at 4 PM until the end of the night at midnight! So comfy, my birthday present from my husband a few months before the wedding (he knew I would never buy myself such fancy shoes for the wedding, so he found them for me!!)

The other day, my FI came to me with a worried look on his face. He asked how tall I am, and I replied 5'4" - why? He said, "You're going to be taller than me when we get married." I asked him how tall he is and he told me 5'10". I'll be wearing 4 inch heels for the wedding but that still gives us 2 inches height difference, in his favor. I slipped on shoes that height and stood next to him to show him he'd still be taller but he had somehow gotten the idea in his head that I was looking for shoes that were SEVEN inch heels! (Yeah, I was planning on wearing shoes with goldfish in them!) Now that he knows the true height of my shoes, he's not as worried, but I definitely got a good laugh out of it - he's not a guy who does things I can tease him about very often, so I'm totally taking advantage of the opportunity.
Mine are 2 3/4". I actually chose these because they match they perfectly match the clutch I selected! (both have that same bow).

My shoes have 0" heel. My FI actually hates heels and I have no problem being 8" shorter than him. I know I will be very comfy :)
mine were 3 inches high i took them off about half way through the reeption just because of the standing.. walking was no problem though
Flip flops! There's only a 3 inch height difference between us, and I didn't want to be towering over him. Not to mention that we're having an outdoor wedding and reception, and I don't like poking holes in the grass! (and I would be another bride to fall flat on my face since I don't like wearing heels in the first place!)
However, I will say that I have yet to see a post with a shoe i DIDN'T like! Everyone's shoe choices are awesome!
Mine are 3.25-3.5 inches!
