Dress Dilemma

These are my final two gown selections. Each very different and leaving my very torn. The ball gown gave me "the feels" when I put it on.

These are my final two gown selections. Each very different and leaving my very torn. The ball gown gave me "the feels" when I put it on. It is simple, but I liked that about it and want to purchase an antique looking belt. However, my father thinks it looks like a prom dress and is plain, my best friends also thought it was a little plain for me (but support my choice). The lace piece, I also loved because it would compliment my body shape, wedding theme (rustic, romantic), and venue (an old cotton mill). Also, THAT TRAIN! However, no "the feels" (I still loved it though). This dress has the support of my friends and father.How would you choose?! I love them both for different reasons and will reason with myself until my edges fall out.side-by-sidecfb_1343341.jpgside-by-sidecfb_1343343.jpgexcuse my expressioncfb_1343345.jpgball gown side viewcfb_1343347.jpg

    That ball gown is gorgeous!!! You look so much more comfortable and confident in it. Stick with your gut and use the simplicity of the dress as a canvas to add your own creative flair!

    I would go with the ball gown dress. You look beautiful classic and like a fairy tale. I believe once they see you with your hair, makeup, jewelry and veil on they would think differently and love it as much as you do. The other dress is beautiful as well but I say follow your true feels of the dress. Best of luck and congratulations!!!

    I think you love the ballgown more. DO IT. You will be thinking of it if you buy the other dress.

    Both are beautiful. But if the ball gown gave you the feels then go with it.

    They are both beautiful for different reasons. I was hemming and hawing between 2 dresses, making similar arguements about one matching my venue and wedding theme/time and the other I loved for different reasons. The women at the salon asked me something that made the decision easy: Which do you want your fh to see you in? What do you want to be wearing when he looks down the aisle and sees you for the first time?

    The lace dress is absolute GORGEOUS on you, the ball gown is very demure and lovely, it's classic! I say go with the ball gown, especially since it's the one making your heart flutter ♡

    I love the dress with the lace it is beyond beautiful. I do agree that the ball gown is a little plane. But you do look beautiful in both dresses. Good luck

    Go with the one YOU love the most and feel the best in. It’s your day. Everyone will have their opinions but what matters is your happiness. Which ever one you would regret not wearing is the dress. You look beautiful in both but go with your hearts desire!

    I LOVE the lace, it look amazing on you, but if the ball gown gives you a feeling, you should go with your gut. Plus you can dress it up and make it unique to you and less "plain" as they said with your belt, headpiece etc

    I love them both on you. I would normally say go with the one that makes you feel like a bride and the one you think your groom would also love. But knowing the lace matches your theme I like it more.

    I love both but the feeling is most important! You could always add a more embellished belt and jewelry to fancy the ballgown up. Adding the bouquet too will add detail.

    I think the ballgown makes you look like a princess. And it pops out and demands attention. I'm very pro ballgown.
