Can't decide on shoes - Please help!!

I have a bit of a dilema some opinions (especially if you have worn any of these shoes)  Naturally with out shoes I am 2 inches taller than my fiance. I'm 5'8", he is 5'6".   He hates it, I hate it because I no longer wear heels.  Boy do I miss my heels!  Originally I was going to do flats, but the more I thought about it I said screw it, I want heels.  So I have already looked into getting him lifts for his shoes, I can him 5inch lifts which leaves me 3 inches to play with.

I purchased one pair of shoes online from a friend.  They were 3inch RSVP Royal Blue heels.  Gorgeous shoes with a 3inch heel.  I tried them on with my dress and 3inch is the perfect size to work with the hem of my dress.  Anything taller won't work.  Anything less will be ok.

The shoes I have though are really not suited for my feet, they just don't fit right and I know I will be fussing with them all night long, so I need new shoes.  I have fallen in love with two different shoes however of course with my luck the heel is too tall.  Why is it that the designers can't come up with these cute styles in a shorter heel???  There are tall brides who don't want to be close to 6ft on their wedding day!!

Budget is also a concern.  I can't afford $200 shoes, just can't do it.  I also need them to be comfortable.  I have a bunion on the right foot and the left foot was operated on a few years ago.  The dr's broke that foot and the bone never healed properly - so comfort is a must!

My dress is the Maggie Jenna

Nina Forbes

I have a couple of pairs of J.Renne that I wear to church. After a while my feet begain to hurt. But it was a different cut from the ones thats you have chosen. People have raved about Nina shoes.

I love the green and purple -- but thats because those where my colors! Lol I really like them all! Hmm, I would probably end up going with the first pair; Colorful Creations - Savanna.

Well my colors are navy (doing the bm dresses in navy so they can reuse them) and then I will be doing purples through out everything else - purple his my fiance's favorite color - the green well that's my favorite color.

So I  decided i want color so it's either navy glitter, purple, or apple green

http://www.zappos.com/nina-fern this also comes in navy
Tough decisions!!
I am glad to hear that the Forbes are comfy - that is an aboslute must!

Not familiar with the brands but my wedding is purple and green and im wearing a darker purple/plum heel or silver. Go for a lower (but sexy!)heel. I like the navy ones and the Nina Fern. But the first ones are pretty as well. Those are my fav 3....

I had the same problem my DH.  I'm 2 inches taller than he is.  I wore a very low heel (maybe 1 inch heels) but they ended up being uncomfortable so during our reception, I was barefoot. I also work at home and I'm in scrubs most of the time, so flats are what I usually wear. 

Out of all the shoes that you posted, these are my favorites.

I was in a wedding and we wore Nina shoes and they were comfortable and didn't cause any problems.  HTH!
