Well I say if you REALLY want a wedge, I would get the first one, but I like the very last picture the best.

also check out piperlime.com. they have a whole section dedicated to wedges.

Cork and weddings do not mix in my book, unless the cork is for wine or champagne, but to each her own. Personally, I think you can do better. ssinca posted some great gold Stuart Weitzman wedges on the L.A. and OC knot boards recently. Fabu. It proves it can be done.

Hey everyone, thanks for your honest responses! While cork may not be “bridal”, (and I totally know what you’re all talking about), I think cork is very light, and really comfortable. And seriously, who is going to see my feet? I’m concerned more with height, and comfort than I am glamour. Although, I won’t be going for the obvious stripper shoes of 5+ inches on lucite heels! Oh, and I’m also needing shoes with a fair price, as much as I wish I could get Stuart Weitzman shoes, I can’t afford it- I’m already spending more for the dress than I had budgeted for! Damn me!

Thank you all for your comments and links! I will check them all out right now.

I thought these were cute, and the price is not bad either…

Some of the wedges look sort of “clunky”, som make sure you don’t get anything that’s like, platform. Wedding shoes shouldn’t have a disco theme.

Ooh - someone I can share my list of links with!

I cannot make up my mind, so maybe this list will help you!

I (like everyone else) love the last ones. I agree about wedges being really comfy though, and am jealous that you can pull off 4″ wedges (I am 5′7 and my fiance is only 5′10, and he would not be happy if I appeared taller than him!). As far as the wedges, I like the first ones the best — I feel like there is a better opportunity to trip if in a giant 4.25 inch wedge thong when walking in a floor-length dress… but maybe that is just me and you are significantly more coordinated.
You should definitely pick shoes that YOU are comfortable in though, regardless of what the rest of us suggest — if you like cork wedges better than the more traditional wedding shoe, go for it! It can definitely be a unique aspect for the wedding.

You should wear what makes you feel comfortable; if that means cork wedges, so be it!

I like these options:

Zappos will let you sort by heel type (e.g. wedge or kitten), heel height, and color.

oh no, i agree with comment above. The last one is the best, those wedges are just too casual. They don’t even allow wedges at some workplaces so it’s probably not the best shoe for a wedding.
