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

    You look stunning in both! I love the first one that’s laced because I love lace ! But you should go with whatever one you think is the perfect dress! ❤️😍

    Go with the feels!!!!! It’s not their dress! I was so happy with my dress and I totally got the feels and I can’t imagine spending so much money on one I wasn’t totally in love with. 💕

    You look amazing in both! But honestly, whichever makes you feel most beautiful, most like a bride... that's what matters. Their opinions aren't relevant if you can see yourself down the aisle in one and not the other. Maybe try them both on again in like a week after you've had time to let it sit. Good luck!!

    Soon to be Hunt.
    You look beautiful in both dresses. But if you got the feel in the ballroom dress. Then I say that's the dress. Remember that's your day and nothing else matters. ❣️

    Go with the ball gown. "The feels" is your gut saying "I love this dress!"

    If you like the ball gown wear the ball gown. This is just my humble opinion (so feel free to ignore it) but my gut tells me that in 20 years we will have the same reaction to those illusion lace dresses as people have to 80s puff sleeve dresses. It’s a look that defines the era and is extremely popular with brides (because it is beautiful) but I am not convinced the look is timeless and will hold up. With that said, you look beautiful in both dresses. (Backs our of forum slowly!)

    Both are beautiful but I think I would go with the ballgown! I couldn't choose a dress that I didn't have the feels for.

    I think the ball gown looks absolutely incredible on you! I mean both do, but I think the second one makes you look like a bride. Yes, it's simple, but it keeps the focus on you. And I don't think it looks like a prom dress at all.

    You are stunning in both dresses, but the ball gown is absolutely my favorite on you. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Which dress made you light up? After trying on a million dresses at a several different bridal stores, I chose that one that made me cry. The one I saw myself walking down the isle in. That's how I knew. So again, which dress made you light up? Did either one make you want to cry? Good luck.

    The lace one is as romantic as it gets! They both look stunning! The ball one is somewhat princess which I'm sure you have that feeling being Daddy's girl. Which one do you feel shows your personality as a woman best? The one you want your forever photographs in as well as to pass down with the story of your day?

    Good Luck! It took me 3 months to find a dress

    I agree with the majority. Although both dresses are beautiful and look amazing on you- go with the one that YOU love. You’re going to be the one wearing the dress, and having the memories of your special day.

    Wear the one that gives YOU the feels. You look beautiful in both but I got the feels seeing you in the white dress. The photo of the consultant zipping you up made my heart flutter.

    I really like the ball gown. I think it’s SO romantic. You can accessorize it as well. I definitely think you should go with what you feel in your gut. This isn’t their wedding day, it’s yours. So you should go with what you want to wear. The lace one is beautiful but: hands down ball gown, gurl!
