Hi y'all!

Quick intro!

We are having a wedding in boho/rustic style, in the summer. Ceremony is taking place in the meadow, under the trees. I consider myself more Pocahontas than Princess type (as you can clearly see )

And I am indecisive person in a whole new level way Smiley laugh

So, here we are, ended up with these finalists. Personally, I like the plain, basic style of the ones on the left. But I've been constantly told (by friends/family) it's too plain for this occasion. On the other hand, even the lace ones are comfortable, they have V back (I love that!). But as I almost have no boobs to put into that cleavage... Smiley smile) And yes, my future husband loves them all, too. (Yes, he did see all of them, and yes, here it is quite normal.)

Back

And not to be done with it so easily... we also have the special number 3 - plain, white, cleavage, V back, comfortable... (RBF, focusing on taking the pic)

Any suggestions, please?

    The left views front and back, are appropriately simple yet elegant, suited to rustic or outdoor setting. The lace is a super body hugging and revealing cut, not at all for your settings. Nice to wear out at night on your honeymoon, though .

    You might want to edit out reference to Pocahontas. She was a real Native American Indian , kidnapped by the British while in her teens, married off , with a child before her husband took her to England, and dead by age 20-21. A tragic life. And a famous American has taken to using it as a racial slur for anyone of any tribe of Native Americans, or anyone white with far back intermarriage with native people. What you mean is an outdoors woman or one who loves nature and a simple life. 😀

    I like option 1 and 2, probably 2 best. You should pick whatever you feel the best and most bridal in!

    The hair updo would also depend on the dress.

    If the winner is no. 1 - hair definitely up (to show the back, lace). If 2 or 3 - it depends. Maybe even slightly down, soft curls...

    Oh, my bad. Sure. Is there a way to edit it? I can't see it anywhere under the original post - though I can edit my answers underneath. So stupid to say (and not tryin' to advocate for myself at slightest), but I seriously did not consider it that way.

    Smiley smile That is what I was going to suggest (or if you felt strongly about up vs. down that would flavor the choice). All three look lovely!

    I vote for #2. I also love #3, but it's not very bridal it's more beachy.

    They are all beautiful. #2 has a train and other don't. Do you want to drag a train around outside?

    Ehm, sorry beforehand for incorrect used terms here (as I've never had to express such things in English) Smiley smile

    You can "pin" the train to the back, right above... the bottom. So it would have perfect length. Or even "pin it" to your fingers, to carry it around - both options are available.

    Your waist looks so tiny in the dress #1 it’s amazing! Very flattering! Plus i bet it is comfortable to dance, and it’s not so plain and has very interesting lace details. Also I think it suits the theme of your wedding the most.

    Yes, you can pin it up, called bustling ( from the word bustle) , or lift the train on a finger loop. Outdoors, the whole time there or on a Barn's rough floor, could you ever let it down, without it getting really dirty? If you make that choice, a level hem at 2 inches above the floor , which is standard for floor length, might make more sense.

    Thank you for the vocabulary!

    The ceremony is supposed to be taking place outside (in the meadow), but if it's rainy - inside.

    The place itself is boarding house/hotel, so no rough floor. But I'll consider wearing heels, maybe... I'm barefoot at the pohotos Smiley smile


    And once again - really thank you all for your opinions!

    If you loving the 1st one go for it! no one else opinions should matter, your husband loves them all and go with the one you can truly be barefoot and happily in love with.

    I think you should wear the simple elegance of the one on the left, that you favor. Most flattering. ,...... (Note: you might want to drop referring to yourself as Pocohontas, a real native American kidnapped bt colonists, converted to Christianity and married off to an Englishman 30 to her 17, who was taken to England, and died at age 20. Behind the Disney-washed fairy tale, is the very sad tale of the daughter of a tribal chief.)

    I just saw note from before. Flag tech help, and ask them to edit out the reference. They do that.
