I loveeee the second one!! That's exactly why I'm staying away from bridal dress shops. I have my dress and if I see more I'lll second guess my decision

Girl, that so happened to me. I bought a DB dress on eBay and a couple of weeks later completely fell in love with one at Simple Bride (sadly now closed). Sold the one I'd already bought back on eBay and bought the new one. Just had to. HAD TO.
Those are both pretty, but definitely very different in styling. I would think about how you want the rest of your wedding to be styled and think about which one would fit that best.

That is WHIP CREAM!!!!!  That is the one I was talking about at lunch!!  When you look down doesn't it feel like you are standing in a pile of cream?? 

 I agree with duncanpowers....which one fits the theme of the wedding better?

I love the new one as well, but its like comparing apples to oranges both are so different. As mentioned in above posts, which matches your venue and style. Which will be more comfortable to dance in etc... Which makes the statement you want when walking down the aisle. One is simply elegant and the new one is WOW! I AM SO A BRIDE!

I am curious what your mother thinks. How much time do you have? Do you have time to sell the first one in order to get the second one??

I love the 2nd one because it has everuthing I've ever wanted, all in one dress; ruffles, sweetheart neckline, corset, and drop waist. I have plenty of time to sell the other, the wedding is a year away.

I always wanted a dress that people would be like "WOW! LOOK at that DRESS!!", but I never found it, so I guess I sort of settled for the first one and bought it too quickly.

You need to what makes you feel the best!  I am a fan of "whip cream"...I almost bought it myself!

haha, sara. it is too funny but it really is an adapt description.

Now that I have my dress, I refuse to look at any others! I'm avoiding bridal stores like the plague and not looking too closely at any dresses in magazines! Good luck making your decision, you look lovely in both!

I really like the second one. This is the same thing that happened to me! If you can afford it get it! But the first one looks amazing on you so you won't be sorry to stay with the one you already have

I actually like the first one better. It's flowy and reminds me of a princess. My first thought when I saw the second was that the bottom looks like cottage cheese and whipped cream. But then, I'm not a big fan of wedding gowns.

I say go with your gut. And when you pick one, stop shopping. that way you won't stress yourself out over whether or not you chose the right one.

Learn from my mistake (got married 2 months ago)...dont get stuck with 2 dresses! My rule of thumb, dont buy the other dress UNLESS and only UNLESS you sell the first. Then you will have two dresses sitting in your closet and be really frustrated. lol. Keep your theme in mind, but also remember not to get too stuck in or obsessed about a few details. Because on that day you WILL be the most beautiful person at the party.  :-)

I personally love the first! Simple elegance...
