Can't Decide Between Dresses

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 😭

    Both look gorgeous on you! However, the second dress is giving me romantic, garden wedding vibes Smiley heart


    I am also a bride with tattoos (I have a full sleeve) and do not think you should feel self-conscious about covering up your tattoos on your wedding day. Show them off!

    I love the first one...go team sparkle lol!
    But what if you got a detachable skirt for it? Then you would have the best of both worlds ✨

    I LOVE the sparkly one. The other is pretty but seems overly fussy to me. The first one is so unique and different, i've never seen a real life bride wear anything like that.

    It’s a really personal decision and both are super pretty! My taste would definitely lean towards the sparkly one but you can’t go wrong!

    Both of these dresses look absolutely stunning on you! You truly can't go wrong. I would lean slightly towards the second dress just because it feels a little more "bridal" and you would likely not have a chance to wear a dress like that again, whereas the first dress has more of a red carpet feel. But honestly, both are so special and stunning!

    I love the first dress but the second feels more "rose garden" like. Both are beautiful! Sorry I'm not much help.

    What is the rest of your wedding aesthetic like? Any idea of what your bridal party will be wearing? The first dress is more modern and glam, the second more romantic and whimsical. So perhaps choose the dress that best matches the rest of your vision/vibe for your day.

    The second one has much more a bridal feel while still having sparkle, the first one is more "red carpet". Go with what you like but I prefer 2.

    Both are stunning. Which one did you have the "I don't want to take this off" moment with? Go with that one.

    Lovely dresses! I would say the second, simply because it says wedding, whereas the first says fancy gala!
