Hi ladies! I just posted attire advice on etiquette board but figured I would ask dress opinions on here as well! 

 The wedding is in small town in Louisiana in may at 6 or 630. It is southern vintage style at a little country church and the reception at a plantation. My colors are champagnes, ivories, and blush pinks/peaches.

I am so torn between two dresses!! I love both and they both look great on me. Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures in them. I am blonde, fair, blue eyes and love the off colors on these dresses. I honestly think I would be happy with either one. 



dress 1 no jacket strapless-


dress 2 a-line-


so just curious which one ya'll like? i know its hard when you can't see them on just want to know personal taste.

    I think i like number one better. I seems much cleaner and classic for the look you are going for.

    Your post came through funky and some of it can't be read. But I looked at your links. it's really difficult with your dress choices to determine what would be right for you. If you want the boards opinion, I would suggest trying them on, taking pics, and posting them back here. You might be surprised at what fits you personally, and what doesn't.

    ETA: WOW, I know it has nothing what-so-ever to do with this post, but I have to say that the curtains in the first link of the second choice are hideous!

    #1.  Your venues are so classic and I'm just not a fan of things popping off of dreses when they're somewhat randomly placed.

    For a moment, I thought you were getting married in St. Augustine near Natchitoches, but then I remembered it was wooden, not brick.  Nice reception venue!

    sorry for the funky mess up ladies! idk what happened but theknot is acting strange for me. But the message basically asked which is your favorite for a southern vintage style wedding. 

    missy-thank you! its in st. francisville where i grew up a little town about 40 minutes north of baton rouge.

    I do think the second dress is much more fun and MUCH more comfortable. I think the first dress is much more southern belle. I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the dresses when I went :( 
     they both seem to show different parts of my personality just not sure which i want to show. I am 5'6'' and 130lbs even all over so i'm pretty average and look really good in both dresses.

    FWIW, if you're not doing all the lace on top, I like the first dress.

    I lived in that town (Natch) for 18 months. Two good things about it: the Christmas festival, and my baby girl Maggie (Magnolia) who I got from the pound there - my good little runty Catahoula.

    IMO, i like the first one better.  i think it's a little more classic and suits the venue (also makes the waist look super tiny) the second dress isn't my style, but i do think it is super cute and fun.  i just think i'd be worried about all the little appliques and such falling off while dancing, but that's just me. 

    if you love both of them equally, i'd go with the most comfortable one.  most people think they can handle an uncomfortable dress for just one day, but it's YOUR day and i wouldn't want to spend it fighing to breathe. LOL (that's how i was in my BM dress for my sis's wedding..)

    I gotta ditto PPs that say you should try on the dresses, take pics, then post those. neither dress is my style, so it's hard for me to give an opinion since I don't really like either just from the models wearing them. it's much easier to give opinions once you're actually wearing the dress. if I have to choose, I say #1 because it's cleaner.
