    Ok, so have been searching online looking for BM shoes, and have seen these fab ones on the bay, but if I get them for my BM then she will end up taller than me - I have B Adams Gaga and they'll match with the crystals, but mine are only 3.5inches whereas these will be over 4 (they have a platform sole) - is this ok or not? link to the ad on my wall if you want to take a look - cheap as chips hence my want to buy them!

    is your bridesmaid naturally taller than you? I don't think that should be an issue. If your worried about it have you considered getting her flats? x

    We're about the same height, and I love the crystals on the shoes - I don't want her in flats in case she feels frumpy, and I don't want to swap with her as my dress will be too short with the taller heel (ordered a particular length with my own shoes in mind!)

    I suppose I'm just being silly and it's doesn't really matter if she's taller on the day, right??

    It wouldn't matter to me, but then most people are taller than me anyway. xx

    Is this an issue for you?

    I wouldn't care - but then most of the bms are taller than me. All 7 of them are actually - even my 14 year old sister because she will still grow and we're about the same height now. :-)
    3 of them are really tall and 2 of those 3 tend to wear ridiculously high shoes. My shoes are not overly high but heels so I guess I will be taller than my littlest sister. :-))

    I suppose it doesn't really matter, it's amazing how you can have random worries about the silliest things eh! And tbh, I'll be at the front in most of the photos anyway so I suppose her being half an inch taller won't make any difference!! LOL!!

    I don't think it matters too much. I'm 5'1" and my bridesmaids are 5'5", 5'6" and 5'8" (all in flats) I wore 4" shoes on the day and was still shorter than them all. Although I am used to it xx

    I'm 5ft so the only bm that isn't taller than me is my niece who will be 6 and by then who knows, she may be. Don't worry about height because you will be the most beautiful woman in the room. x

    I can't wait until 29/06/2013
    The day I marry the man of my dreams!
