Seeking dress opinions

I just moved to a new city and my mom and sister are not available to join in my wedding dress search.  To share some context, my venue is in a converted warehouse...lots of exposed brick and high ceilings...we are going with a yellow/gray reclaimed theme to the event.  That said...I need opinions on dress 1 or dress 2!  My wedding is in early spring and I have to order something ASAP - I'm just stuck on which one because I love them both.  Dress 1 is a bit more over the top than 2.  With 2, I'd like to add some embellishments (replace the flower that's there) and create a sweetheart neckline.  Dress 1 seems a bit more formal and fancy.  I will be carrying white garden roses and peonies with some soft gray touches.  My MOH is carrying yellow and the man is wearing a gray suit.

  • Dress 2 is amazing and flatters your body shape.

  • I vote for the first one, but I find sweetheart necklines to be more flattering, and I'm just not a fan of the asymmetrical bottom of the second.

    I don't like the skirt on #1, but the top is nice.

    So I voted for #2...I think it is incredibly flattering.

    <div>Agreed. The first flatters you way more. I really don't care for the second dress at all or the way it looks on you.</div>
  • I don't like the way the second one falls off your hips. I much prefer the first one.
  • I like the first one best.

    From the sounds of it you are going to have to quite a bit to the second to get it to look the way you want, while first dress seems to already have everythig that you want.

  • Another vote for #1. I think the belt does defines your waist really nicely. While both look nice, I think #2 is not as flattering.

  • I love the first one, it is so flattering and beautiful! I am also not a huge fan of asymmetrical lines on wedding dresses.

  • The first one is just much more stunning IMO.

  • Thank you all so so much!  I truly appreciate it.  I'm in slight panic mode because I hadn't really thought much about dresses until I was told I'm probably going to run out of time!

    And after looking at pictures of the back...I think #1 is the winner.  I really appreciate everyone's comments.  Thank you thank you!







  • Wow, the back of #1 is just stunning. Congrats!!
  • What a beautiful bride! #1

    Agreed. I preferred #1 from the front anyway but now that I see the back, I'm so glad you chose #1.

    [QUOTE]#2.  The skirt on #1 is too poofy.....it looks like the toilet paper roll after the cat played with it.
