Help me choose between two dresses/styles?

Help me choose between two dresses/styles? 1


Help me choose between two dresses/styles? 2

The dress with sleeves - this is the vibe I imagined for my wedding dress. It’s ethereal, fairytale, matches my Pinterest board and my woodland venue. We added straps and sleeves from another dress, so it’s a little photoshopped now to make that impression more clear. It also happens to be on sale, the last one of its kind, and in my size. The lady in the shop said it was just waiting for me to come along! Needs a little adjustment as it’s not totally comfortable yet, but adding straps will help me feel supported so that I can stand taller.

The dress without sleeves - I tried this one after the shop assistance chose it. I never would have thought to put it on. But I was so surprised how comfortable it was and how beautiful I felt in it. It makes me stand tall. It doesn’t match the wedding vibe I was going for - it’s more “Hollywood glam” than “ethereal”. I love it but I hope I don’t miss out of my vision and something more unique in the first dress.

I am well known in my local wedding industry, so I feel there will be a lot of eyes on my photos after the wedding.

I love both dresses for different reasons! I’m so torn! I might have to keep shopping if I’m this torn.

Note: Both are ivory. I’m not wearing tan in either dress (just different lighting in two different stores)

Thank you x

    To be completely honest, the first picture made me say “Oh, that’s lovely,” while the second one literally had me suck in a breath and say “Wow, she looks beautiful!” To me, the first is a pretty dress while the second is something you look stunning in. I’d go with the second if I were choosing.

    The second dress looks SO GOOD on you! They are both beautiful and so different but dang, I would wear the 2nd dress.

    I adore 2 on you. There are many ways you can draw on your theme in your wedding look, perhaps with an interesting veil like a Juliet cap or a belt/replacement straps adorned with silk wildflowers. You could even get detachable bishop sleeves to soften the look (though I'd attach them to the straps, not go off-shoulder with that silhouette).

    I just think choice 2 compliments you so incredibly well. In my own planning process, a lot of unexpected changes have surfaced but I trust the universe has put them in my path for a reason.

    Both dresses are beautiful but the 1 st dress is a bit more trendy right now and may look dated in a few yrs. The 2nd dress will stand the test of time and honestly is breathtaking on you. You ll look gorgeous in either but my vote is for dress 2. Congrats!
