Ok so I have a little less than a year until my wedding. I know I have time, but I really would like to order the dress sooner than later. Only problem is, I'm in love with two completely different dresses.. I love specific elements about both- I've tried them both on and both complement my body type well... Both dresses are way more glam in person BTW..
Dress 1-- /> I've been loving forever, Allure 8700


The pros: Its a convertible dress so it's super convenient and also so cute/couture. I also lovee the long train, buttons down the back, and the mermaid style.
The cons: Fabric is pretty thick for an outdoor daytime Sept wedding. Also, I'm afraid the flowers at the hem might be too trendy and end up dating my dress in a few years... Also, the long train- might get messed up during the ceremony (on grass in a garden) or while dancing (under a tent on semi-rough concrete)
Dress 2 -- /> Mori Lee 6301 I just happened to try on in the salon on a whim and really loved it!


Pros: Lightweight and breathable, can definitely dance in it all day. The detail is gorg and the back criss cross is stunning. No train at all, wouldn't get messed up during the ceremony (on grass in a garden). Half the price of Dress 1!!
Cons: Not Bridal enough, kind of casual ( if I only get to wear a gown once in my life, shouldn't I go all out?) Also, not mermaid, which is my favorite silhouette.
Okay thats a lot of information. But I really am torn between two dresses... I would love to hear your opinions. Anyone torn between two dresses? I wish there were a hybrid of the two that looked good... I wonder if it could even be altered to fit a little more tight on the body and make it a sort of mermaid? Anyone ever done that?
What do you girls think about for the outdoor garden, does one suit the atmosphere way better? Thanks in advance!!!
