Wedding shoes

Sistas, I'm 6' tall and my FH is 6'2".What do you ladies think about a bride wearing flats instead of high heels?I know high heels look better but I don't want to be taller than my FH on our wedding.Plus, I don't want to tower over my father when he walks me down the aisle (he's 5'9").Not only is the height an issue, but comfort is another.I have a metal plate in my right ankle and high heels bother me after a while.Any suggestions, Ladies?

Re: Wedding shoes

Hi Platinumstyle, go ahead and wear your flats. Lot's of people wear flats. I will be wearing a low heal myself, simply because I want to be comfortable.

Rosetta you are so funny...but it does pay to be beautiful [lol]. Platinum girl you can wear those gorgeous flat white satin ballet shoes and accentuate them with some precious little rosetts, I'm sure Phenomonique can find you something cute.

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Re: Wedding shoes

I'm not sure about what to do when it comes to my bridesmaids shoes. I want them to be comfortable. I've gone to weddings wear everyone wears the same shoes, I've seen the same color shoes but different styles. What are you ladies doing for your brides maids shoes. What did the already married couples do? Thanks for your help.

Re: Wedding shoes

Personally, I like uniformity--that's only my selfish opinion.

Re: Wedding shoes

I think it's perfectly fine for bridesmaids to pick there own shoes as long as they are the same colors. That way they'll find shoes they're comfortable in.

Re: Wedding shoes

I really don't have any preference. I will give them a choice and let them decide for themselves.

Re: Wedding shoes

I chose their dresses, but I will allow them to pick their own shows. I want my ladies to be comfortable. I will also choose the FG and JBM shoes.

Re: Wedding shoes

Did your girls have any input at all about the dresses...that one I am a little uncomfortable about.

Re: Wedding shoes

I selected two dresses from them to choose from and they all unanimously chose the same dress. Since each lady is paying for their dress, I want them to actually like the dress. So far, things have been smooth sailing (thank God)!

Re: Wedding shoes

That is what I was afraid off, them not being too please especially when they are paying...but seeing that it all worked out for the better, I am very happy for you. Excellent!

Re: Wedding shoes

I was the MOH for my friend's wedding. She didn't allow anyone to have input; even though we all paid for our dresses. The dress was soooooooo UGLY!!! I didn't want to cause any friction, so I wore the dress because I knew it would make her happy. That dress was one that couldn't ever be worn again -- it looked like a costume for a Halloween party -- just OOOOOOGLY. I didn't want my ladies to feel like I felt.

[lol]Girl you are so funny! Consider how you felt then decide. How about a choice of bridesmaid dress and shoes by bridesmaid vote? I know, I kow. But they wouldn't be your friends if you didn't value their opinion now would you???

Re: Wedding shoes

My bridemaids just saw the dresses I picked for them last Saturday. Well, that is what happens when I asked them over and over to meet me at the bridal shop and noone ever showed.Huh, they got on the ball and found some shoes quick, fast and in a hurry.

Re: Wedding shoes

Vetty I have a question for you......did they jump to find shoes becuase they are afraid if you pick them they may be as ugly as the dress or is it that they were overwhelmed by how gorgeous the dress is that they just could not wait to go find the perfect pair of shoes?

Re: Wedding shoes

Actually Charlotte, I guess they realized they blew it when I told them they could pick their own dress and they decided to blow me off. So, after I told them my decision on the dress was final they figured they'd better act like they were a little more interested in their part of the process. I'm one of those people who sees something I want then looks at the price.

Re: Wedding shoes

Now I saw a pair of Kenneth Cole shoes that were HOT. I guess they didn't want to spend three digits for them. They were HOT though.
