Which dress??

Please help ladies!! I'm having such a hard time deciding on a dress : ( I tried on the allure dress first (the one on the right) at the first bridal store I went to and I loved it and almost bought it. Then I went to a second dress shop and tried on both dresses and fell in love with the essence of Australia dress on the left and the sample of the allure dress was way too big so it looked very unflattering. Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures so I can't compare myself in the dresses but I liked both. We are having a beach wedding in early September and I need to order my dress ASAP. What of you all think?? Left? Right? Or neither? I'm so indecisive and worried. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

    I like the Essence of Australia dress much more, especially for a beach wedding. It looks a lot more soft, clean, and airy. I worry that the Allure gown will 'wear' you as there is a lot going on (maybe too much with the lace, heavy beading, and thick straps).

    Tulle doesn't strike me as a very good fabric to wear if you will be walking on sand. So the second dress seems to be a better choice in my opinion.

    Personally, I think both dresses have a lot of bling for a beach wedding.  Have you looked at destination wedding dresses?  They are designed for a less formal setting.  JMHO.

    I like the allure dress better, but I prefer lace to satin.

    I think it really depends on how both dresses actually look on you and which one complements your body better. It's hard to choose only by a picture but I personally would go with the left one - it looks more elegant and like "simple beauty", wich is good for a beach wedding.

    I like the Allure (but I hate satin).

    You say you are having a beach wedding.  Does that wean you are getting married on the actual sand or are you just getting married at a venue over looking the beach?  Either way, I think the Essense dress is the better choice for a beach wedding.  It is definitely softer and has a more romantic feel to it while the Allure is a bit more 'fancy'.

    Of the two, I like the Essence one better but I kinda think they're both a little too formal for the beach... and I feel like the Allure one looks sorta like a vajazzled crotch. :-\

    they dont scream beach to me they are both  amazing looking dresses but they seem way to fancy or formal for the beach. i love the shape and fit of how those dresses look so maybe looking for dresses that would fit the beach in that shape

    My dress is essence so I'm partial to that. But I definitely like that better.

    The dress on the right is better, IMO.  However, I wouldn't pick either of those for a beach wedding.
