Can't Decide Between Dresses

Can't Decide Between Dresses 1
I would line this dress from Galia Lahav with ivory so my tattoos don't show underneath.Can't Decide Between Dresses 2

This Berta dress has an intentional leg slit so I would not be covering my tattoos.

To preface: in my area there are very few bridal shops that carry dresses I am interested in. I really like the non traditional look and my dress is my largest investment so I really want to feel like a princess and have that wow factor. I made an appointment for both studios at the same time and after trying on the sparkly dress I really didn't think I would love anything more than it, to my surprise I love the second dress equally but for different reasons.
It feels almost impossible to say which one is more me or which one I feel prettier in because they're both SO pretty ahhh! Photos can't quite capture either but you get the point.
I'm getting married in June (postponed a couple years for covid reasons) at a venue with a rose garden. I think my accessories will be a little tiara and sparkly red shoes. Price is not a factor and neither is production time, PLEASE help me 😭

    Don't hate me for this but what about both? Sparkly one would be a killer reception dress. I honestly love them both on you.

    Those are both gorgeous!! I absolutely love the first dress on you, but I think either one would work for a rose garden wedding. If you imagine walking down the aisle at your venue, which dress do you see yourself in?

    If price is no obstacle, I would get both!! Wear the romantic Berta dress for the ceremony in the rose garden, then you can sparkle in the Galia Lahav at the reception! It would be a show stopper! ✨

    Oh sorry, I meant that the dresses were similarly priced! I definitely wouldn't be able to buy both

    They both are lovely! I’m partial to the second one though! I love the sparkly floral details and think you could balance the tiara and sparkly red shoes with it very nicely. Def gives me more of a Princess vibe and could very much see it in a rose garden wedding!

    I totally get it! Personally I would think the second one is more dreamy for a garden wedding. Your wedding is 2024? Maybe you could also wait a bit and see what else you find later on. I know I would definitely flip flop on decisions in that time frame.

    I imagine the second one in a garden, both both are wonderful! I feel like a tiara with the sparkly could be pretty extra, but maybe thats what youre going for! The first feels more modern glam and the second feels more romantic fairytale. Beautiful in either!

    Both dresses look so gorgeous on you! I love the first dress, but I think the second dress would fit the rose garden venue better, the intricate top is to die for! Either way you're gonna be a knockout!

    Both dresses are beautiful on you. I love the first dress on you. You could do both dresses. One for the wedding and one for the reception. What dress do you love and see yourself in for your wedding? The one that you love and see yourself in for your wedding is your dress. Good luck.

    I love these both but the second one instantly caught my eye! It’s perfect for your venue and it has a very romantic feel to it.

    I would absolutely wear #2 with the extra lining coverage, to get married. And buy that sparkly dress, or similar, to wear for a spectacular thing on your honeymoon, or a cruise, city theatre and fancy night out. You are unlikely to have another appropriate place to wear one. Hemce, wedding. But several chances for sparkly. Both too great to pass up.

    Oh, I missed that. Too bad.
    A knock off , inexpensive, of the sparkly would be easier to get, for another occasion. The romantic one, no. Go romantic.

    Oooh I love the second one! I think it looks more bridal than the first one honestly, and it sounds like it would be ideal given your venue.

    I love the second dress while you don't like the traditional bridal look I think it looks better on you the other one looks like a prom dress

    You seriously cannot go wrong with either. I think the skirt of the second one has a a very romantic feel to it which would pair well with a garden wedding and for that reason I’d vote number 2 but truly it’s whatever you feel will make your day complete!
