Advice pretty please!

Dulcena, on March 14, 2020 at 7:11 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 23

I am getting married Sept 18 2020. I don't have that many friends and my MOH lives in another state. So I have been going to my wedding dress appts alone. I think I have narrowed it down to 3 dresses I like but I can't decide which one! Help me make a decision?


2nd and 3rd dress are going to be custom because all the dresses are sewn in house when you order. I would have the 2nd dress a pale blue, no lace with a white chiffon overlay and a small train. The 3rd dress would be all done in a ivory color with a small train added to the back. My friend said "Close your eyes. Your getting ready to walk down the isle. Picture it as you expect to see it. Picture your fiancée standing there waiting for you. Now.... Imagine you turn to look in the mirror. Which dress do you see? I saw 1 and 2 probably because I always wanted a train lol. I like the 1st dress because the bodice is beautiful. I like the 2nd because its very airy and ethereal which I love that type of feel. The 3rd dress is one the lady at the bridal shop told me to try on. I would have never picked it because I thought I would look ridiculous in it. But it looks nice and it makes me look taller. Thanks for your advice in advance!!

    Turning this back on you, lol. What type of vibe are you going for? Dramatic? Simple? Glam? These dresses are so different from one another, so you need to decide what you want your style to be!

    Just by looking at these pictures, I vote number 1. Your face seems much happier in that one, and it flatters you very well. I'm not sure you could go wrong with any of them though! Go with the one that you keep coming back to and can't stop thinking about.

    I love the 2nd one! But I tend to prefer lighter, boho style dresses. All 3 of them are VERY different “vibes”. What is the vibe of your wedding? If you haven’t decided that yet, that might be a good 1st start. Then you could focus on a dress that fits the overall feel of the wedding.

    My style is artsy and whimsical. I'm going for something I feel good in and look good in. The dress I really wanted the boutique never picked up the phone, the answering machine was full and I wrote 2 emails without a response. And I can't find anything like it anywhere else.

    I would also suggest not trying to force a dress. You should wait til you find one that you KNOW you want to marry your partner in. The one you don’t ever want to take off.

    I'm getting married at Inn Of The Seventh Ray in CA. It has a laid back vibe, I'd say boho/whimsical. There is a metaphysical shop there and buddhas tucked into little niches in the landscape. LOTS of plants and a creek when and if it rains. It will be a outdoor wedding.

    If that's the one you really love, is it possible to just go there in person to schedule an appointment? After getting hooked on Say Yes To The Dress, I feel like if a bride is really torn between dresses she should either keep looking until she finds one that DOESN'T have her feeling torn, or stop letting other people decide for her and just follow her heart.

    With that being said, I like dress 1 because it flatters your figure Smiley winking

    Based on that: Dress 1, the handkerchief ruffle dress is actually pretty trendy right now. Dress 2, seems more simple and delicate, but your description of changing the color and removing some details make it more personal and unique. Dress 3, is nontraditional and whimsical, but it doesn't remotely resemble your dream dress.


    If you're not in a rush, don't force it. Take some time to reflect on what makes you feel good and if these dresses match your style.

    The boutique is closed and only open if you have a appt. Plus if I have to "stalk" a boutique that doesn't seem like good customer service.

    Honestly, #1... number 2 and number 3 don’t compliment your body at all.

    #1 is the most flattering on you. But #2 could rival it if the straps could be pulled up because it doesn’t look like it’s giving the girls much support.

    Love the first one! The second one seems to go great with your vison but needs alterations.

    Whew! Gotta support the girls. 😉 Hmmm... now it’s a tough choice between #1 & #2 for me. But if you don’t think about which you SHOULD wear, which do you WANT to wear? 💙
