2 dresses or one

So I am dress shopping waiting on our tax returns gotta love the irs. So here is my situation I have found gowns that I love but hasn’t been head over heels in love with. My fiancé opinion is I’ll look good in anything choose what makes me happy. he told me what he likes which is tight around my curves so a mermaid or fit and flare. his biggest crush growing up was Martica Adams from Adams family he doesn’t like huge poofy gowns


I feel like the bridal gowns I’m trying on shows off my curves but are not poofy or bridal enough I’m walking in my dress appointments feeling underwhelmed like this is it my bridal dress doesn’t make me fee bridal.
And then if I go ball gown I look like a giant marshmallow with focous on my belly and I’m plus size and I don’t want that.
So I have 2 options my fiancé doesn’t like this idea because I should pick a dress that is perfect but I’m having a hard time
Option one 2 dressesCeremony dress poofy ball gown Reception dress mermaid
My veil is cathedral length with scalloped lace on the edges

Option 2 This is what my dream dress includes my budget 3,000 I don’t think it exists. Shows off the hips and then has a poofy skirt long train and details on the back of the dress. Must have lace happy with beading too
Please help
