    Hi Bees!  I'm looking for shoes to purchase so I have them for my first fitting, and can't seem to come across anything that fits the bill!  My fiance is very tall, so I need something at least 3", preferably 3.5" -3.75".  We're getting married outside on the grass so I need a wedge.  I'd like to find something that has a platform in the front so that the heel won't seem quite so high since I'll be wearing them for a long time.  I'd prefer either thick straps, a peeptoe, or closed toe.  Color could be ivory, gold, silver, purple, green...really doesn't matter as long as they are cute and not too clunky!  If anyone has come across something that fits this description please post!  Thanks!

    I love these:  4" heel in a few beautiful colors and half price!

    Thanks for posting!  The biggest issue I'm having is finding a tall wedge that also has a platform to raise the ball of my foot a bit.  All those that you posted would be perfect if they had a slight platform!

    @Tigrrlily04:  I'm trying to help a bride with the same thing right now. She has a pretty ornate lace dress, so we can't go too casual. I'll keep you posted if I find anything and I'll be checking back!

    I just posted this on another wedge post, but these are mine- they're about 3-3.25" and definitely evening-appropriate:

    @JBing:  I just bought these yesterday. I loooooooove them!! I wore them around the house all night. It's going to be hard not to wear them out before the wedding!

    @paperumbrella:  Me too!  I have to be careful to keep them clean!

     

    @Lulusmom:  That was just a link where I found a quick picture- they should be available at Jimmy Choo, Norstrom, Neimans, etc. :)
