Dress Dilemma

PLEASE HELP! I am so torn between these two dresses. My wedding venue is a very modern, plain barn rather than a traditional "cabin" barn; therefore, the venue is formal rather than rustic.

PLEASE HELP! I am so torn between these two dresses. My wedding venue is a very modern, plain barn rather than a traditional "cabin" barn; therefore, the venue is formal rather than rustic. The flashy dress was obviously a sample dress and, therefore, did not fit correctly and we could not get it clamped down correctly because the beading. In other words, it is pre-alterations and will fit much better when ordered in my size. The lace dress is more relaxed but, to my surprise, seemed to be everyone's favorite. I personally feel as if the flashy one is more of my dream dress and it truly gave me my bridal moment; however, surrounding people's opinions have caused me to second guess myself because the lace dress shapes me much better than the flashy dress. I know I should go with my gut but just want othed opinions on which dress is more flattering. I am seeking honest opinions on which dress is prettier on me, compliments me more (granted the photos are from very different angles), etc. I will NOT get my feelings hurt whatsoever because I truly appreciate advice. Thanks in advance 💕

    Get your dream dress! It's your day so you should wear the very thing that makes you feel special! Both look stunning, but none of that matters in the end. What matters is what made your soul say "this is it" because, that one is the dress made for you!

    I would go with the one youreally love which is the flashy one. I purposely didnt bring anyone one for my dress oicking becasue I didn't want others opinions to taint my thoughts. It's YOUR wedding. Go for your DREAM DRESSS!!

    #1 Truly is a wowing dress. I mean, it's so different, original and just stunning on you. #2 is a much more common, traditional dress. So my vote is #1 Smiley heart

    I say ho with your gut! You dont want to get something that everyone else wants and always wonder if you should've stuck to your guns. You look fabulous in both of them, I would say GET WHAT YOU SEE YOURSELF WALKING FOWN THE ISLE IN.

    I like them both either way you will look like a goddess on your day. Where a veil with the lace and see if you get the same feeling if not forget it. Go with your gut

    I love #1!!! Listen to yo heart and not the haters Smiley winking Haha but in all honesty they are both gorgeous. I think the deciding factor should be thinking about which one would really break your heart to never put on again. Also, if you keep trying on more dresses and are constantly comparing it to one of those, go with the one you can’t stop thinking about!!

    Both of these are stunning! If I had to pick I love dress number one on you, it has a "wow" factor that the other doesn't, and it gave you that special feeling!
