Please help me decide on my dress!

Annie, on September 8, 2015 at 2:58 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 41

Help! My wedding is in less than 2 weeks and I have 2 dresses at the moment, one I picked out with my mom (which I like, but chose more to make her happy) and a second one I found at a sample sale and bought, somewhat reluctantly, because although I think it's more flattering to my figure than the original dress (2nd dress has a corset, 1st one doesn't), I didn't want to hurt my mom's feelings. I'm also debating if it may be just a bit too poofy for me, but maybe I can have the seanstress remove some tulle from underneath. My parents have agreed to let me wear whichever one I want, but they do NOT want me to wear both (they think it will look too flashy) so they are pressuring me to choose one. Which do you prefer? I am getting married at a church and then the reception is at a somewhat formal catering hall. I have attached a picture of the first dress, I will try to post the second dress from a computer ASAP! (Having trouble on my phone)

    Also, I will be wearing a belt with a little bling with whichever dress I choose. The 1st has a little bit more of a train which I'm sure I could bustle, but I'm a little concerned about dancing with my father and husband in the 2nd one because of the volume at the bottom. Do you think a bustle would help with that?

    I prefer the 1st one. It is more flattering and there is no weird bunching in your stomach area, plus I like the straps. Do you have pics of the backs?

    ETA: They are so similar, I think you could get away with wearing them both and not too many people would notice. They might just think you removed straps?

    I like the first dress, which I am assuming the one your parents picked. I looks great on you!

    I actually like the second one better. They are both gorgeous on you! It looks like the first one may be a bit easier to walk and sit in, however.

    I thought they were the exact same dress just with or without straps. I prefer strapless myself but I think in this case I like the first one better. Either one look great.

    To me they look the same they are both gorgeous. I had to read again to see which one was the second. I love the first one.. the second one is pretty too.

    If you read through the first 4 comments and got a little sad or became even more torn then the second one is your dress. Both dresses are beautiful and make you look stunning, you cant go wrong

    Wow, I'm actually surprised haha, I thought the 2nd would be the favorite. Please keep in mind that in the pics, the 2nd one is just clipped behind me, not altered to my size. Hmm decisions, decisions.

    I personally think the 2nd one is more figure flattering. I like the way it nips in at your waist.
