Well, I did try on the dresses again this weekend. I ruled out #2, but found yet another dress that I liked. (I know, you told me not to try on more dresses, but it is something that has been keeping me and my mom sane these past few weeks. Grandma is in the hospital and dress shopping keeps our minds off her worsening condition.) It is another Sottero & Midgley (#3: ASM 3184, without the sash:

http://www.sotteroandmidgley.com/dress.aspx?line=sr>&page=2&style=RSM1032I like the Swarovski crystal/sequence/beading mixed with the lace all over the dress in #3 as opposed to it just being focused on the waist. I'm afraid that if I go with #1, my bouquet will block the coolest part of the dress when I walk down the aisle. Also, as our ceremony is going to be outside on a golf course, #3 will glisten in the sun. Any thoughts?
