Help! Can't Decide on Wedding Dress!

Hi All,

My wedding is coming up in September and it will be a super intimate/small/casual outdoor wedding with family members only. I ordered a few dresses online and narrowed down my options to two dresses. I'm looking for something modern and simple but still elegant looking. I've always loved the idea of a satin dress so here are my two choices - I'm torn! Option 1 is from David's Bridal and Option 2 is from BHLDN. Any suggestions/advice would be helpful, thank you!!

Option 1:

Option 2:


Help! Can't Decide on Wedding Dress! 2

    I love number 1! They both look great but 1 seems more bridal while 2 looks like a nice white dress. If that makes sense. You can’t really go wrong.

    I think #1 looks more bridal too but the second one could if you had your hair pinned or curled with flowers or something in it

    Option #2 ALL the way, based on your description of your event and your desire for something "modern and simple but still elegant looking"! There is no mistaking that dress is a bridal gown and it looks fantastic on you.

    I vote option 2, it’s more modern and sleek. Love a square neckline.

    Both are great but I LOVE the second dress on you. The square neckline is so flattering

    Definitely 2. It's more modern and crisp. The other is a lot more classic, but I feel like I've seen it on say yes to the dress 40 times, from episodes dating back 5-10 years, so I feel like if modern is what you want, #2 is the way to go. It's very sleek and flattering too!

    I can see why you’re struggling!
    Two things I think are worth pondering...
    1) if it’s hot, what’ll be more comfortable?2) if it’s cool, which tip do you not mind covering with a shawl?

    I love the first one! It gives off more of a bridal vibe than the second. To me, the second one looks like a nice evening gown but not a wedding dress.

    I vote for #2! It is modern and simple, but the square neckline adds an extra bit of “wow” factor!

    I vote #2, but you can’t go wrong with either. I think it would be easier to glam up the second over the first with statement jewelry.

    #2 hands down!!! It's so flattering on your figure, and I personally prefer that more modern and sleek look.
