I tend to be clutzy so I wanted to make sure my wedding shoes were wedges & not heels that could get stuck in between the bricks of the garden causing me to spill forward on my way up the aisle. I also didn't want anything too high as I am just slightly taller than my groom. These shoes are PERFECT. The only downside is that the bottoms of the shoes are completely smooth- no traction at all. Walking on the wood halls of my house they were fine but on the carpet they are extremely slick. Its so easy to scuff the bottoms up a little by taking a quick walk outside that I don't think that should be a reason to not get the shoes.
