What size heel?

My fiance is 5'3" tall. Is it best to wear flat shoes or small heels?

I'd say YES.

Although your heel height will really depend on how tall YOU are. If you are shorter than your fiance, then there's no reason why you can't wear a heel. However, if you are the same height or marginally taller, I would lean towards a short (1 inch) kitten heel or flat. He is most likely going to be wearing shoes, of which the soles will give him a bit of height, but you probably don't want to tower over him with much more than that. If you are 2-3 inches taller, I would opt for a flat shoe or ballet slipper.

He may be comfortable with his height and not care if you are taller than him - which is fantastic. However, for photographs, it may work well if you are on a level playing field.
