Help! Which dress?

Ok, we have 35 days until our wedding and I am completely and utterly stressing about my dress.  I bought the 1st one months ago and have had second thoughts.  So I went shopping one more time and found another I loved.  So, I have now purchased 2 dresses.  After buying the 2nd I was sure but just as I was ready to delete the pictures of the 1st one, I thought, oh no!!!

Is anyone else or did anyone else have this last minute stress about their dress?  I'm posting pics in order to help get outside opinions on which of the 2 is the most flattering (I'm self conscious of my arms) for my body type...I'm tall, 5'10" and 180 lbs so my frame is not small.

Thank you for your help!!!

    I like the second!  I might be biased, though.  I am 5'10" and wore a ball gown :)

    Ummm... hi.  You look beautiful in both dresses!

    I am a big fan of the 2nd dress because it just looks darling and whimsical and sweet.  And I love the detailing!

    I also bought 2 dresses.  I look at pictures of the 1st dress and think "Meh, I looked okay" and the 2nd one I actually feel like a bride. 


    I think the first dress makes you look older.  I don't mean that in a bad way, just an observation.


    They are both beautiful dresses and you look beautiful in them.

    You look beautiful in both but I love #2. Have you thought of wearing one for the ceremony and one for the reception?

    Thank you all so much!!!  I just got back from a meeting w/my photographer and she put the idea in my head of both....I'm getting married on a boat so she thought the first one would be perfect and our reception is at Coast and she thought with the second one being more dramatic to wear that then. 

    Should I really have 2 wedding dresses? Well, you only get married once......

    We'll see what I do but as of right now I'm crunching numbers to see if keeping both is an option but I sure want too! 

    Thanks again!!!

    I'm also going to say dress # 2, no contest for me! It's just more stunning, more fanciful, more fairy-tale. You look great in both, but in my opinion, the second dress will be the one to really take everyone's breath away :) I was ooh-ing and aah-ing just looking at the picture!

    Decision has been made (the final sale thing really helped make the decision, although I will say Stone Manor Bridal was willing to work with me and give me some money back...I just decided after your reviews and speaking w/a few key people that having 2 dresses would work better for me) so.....

    1st dress (with sleeves) will be for my ceremony
    and
    2nd dress (ballgown) will be for my reception!

    One month left to the day!

    Thanks ladies!!!!
