HELP Picking a Dress!

Steph11x

Hi Ladies!

I am completely torn between two dresses and would LOVE some help deciding!  The two dresses I'm looking at are below:

Casa Blanca 2072: http://www.casablancabridal.com/collections/view/31/513

and Allure 8524: http://allurebridals.com/Store_ProductDetail.aspx?pid=82I33F2649962Dc5831B

The Allure has a stunning train (looks similar to the casa blanca) and I'm more comfortable in it in terms of fit (ruching is great!) but I think it might not be as "WOW" of a dress as the other one.  

And...this might be weird, but the Allure is older...from 2008 or something where as the Casa Blanca is new (Spring 2012) and I sort of feel like I should be focusing on the newer styles? Is the Allure dress out of style?  I am really torn.  Photos below...would LOVE opinions on which dress I look better in, I am really really struggling to pick!  Photos of me in them below:

I love the way the Casa Blanca fits your body and curves. I'm probably a little biased though because that's the fit of my gown. Lol. I think the Casa has much more of a "wow" factor.

I agree the casablanca dress!

Personally I prefer the Allure.  I think it is quite stunning and you look great in it

I like the Casa Blanca dress on you the best.

Thanks everyone!  Would love some more opinions...I can't decide which one flatters me more and I can't decide if the Allure is too "simple" of a dress?  I want to be unique but also have something classic (if that makes sense)!

I feel like you're getting too hung up on wow-ing people and looking 'fabulous' as opposed to just being comfortable and feeling like yourself. Based on everything you're saying, I think you should go with the Allure dress.

Also I'm an Allure bride, so I'm a little biased there, too.

I like the Casablanca dress better. Both look beautiful on you, but I feel like the first dress shows of your nice figure a little better. Both are classic and beautiful. You can't go wrong with either one.

Agree with Cwag, I think you're getting hung up on wowing people. If you love the train of the Allure and you're more comfortable in it, go with that one. No one is going to know it's an older style. Wear what makes you feel wonderful - forget about impressing people.

I like them both but LOVE the back of the Allure.  I don't think the dress year really matters.  In fact, I'd be more likely to go with the older one because there's less of a chance that another bride that year would wear it so if guests went to multiple weddings they are less likely to see a bride in that dress.  I'm weird like that though...

I say pick what you feel most beautiful and most comfortable in. BUT if I had to chose I would go with the Casablanca hands down. It is a beautiful dress.

I'm biased because my dress is the Casablanca 2072, and I am obsessed with it, haha.  It looks great on you too!! So that would be my obvious pick Both dresses are very pretty though.

I like the Allure.  Maybe it's because the Casablanca looks a bit too small on you.  I also was an Allure bride.  If you love the dress, it's the right one for you whether it's an"older" style or not.

Both dresses are beautiful and as others said go with the one you love that makes you feel like a bride but also yourself. I love the shape of the first one, very flattering... this was similar to mine... but I also love the length of the train on the second. When I went shopping I wished I could pick pieces of multiple dresses because it was so hard to decide!

I agree that the Casablanca dress looks a little too small. The backs of both dresses are stunning. I love the Allure dress! You have a stunning figure!
