Help! i fell in love with two wedding dresses.

Katie, on November 7, 2019 at 10:46 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 36

HELPPP!!! I fell in love with two wedding dresses at two different shops, and they are both TOTALLY different. I'll give a little background and what I like/dislike or my hangups about each. We are getting married 9/27/2020 at a Country Club in New England, deep fall colors.

I went to store 1 (dress on the left) with just my step mom, and then store 2 with the whole crew (step mom, sister, 2 bridesmaids, and future mother in law). I think I need to go back to both stores by myself to see what I feel is right, but I am SO CONFUSED right now! My sister made it very obvious that she likes dress 1 better and thinks it is more flattering on me, but I’ve already lost some weight and plan on continuing down that path over the next 11 months, so I’m not concerned about that. Also, my sister has a history of being jealous of my body type/life, so I am trying not to put too much weight into her opinion.

Dress 1 is totally unique and not something I’ve ever seen before, it’s super comfy and easy to move in. BUT dress 2 has everything I wanted in a dress (long train, beautiful back, intricate lace, shows off a little of my curves but not too much). It was also hard for me to get the FULL picture of how easy it would be to move in dress 2, because the sample size was 2/3 sizes too small for me.

Dress 1 is classic and elegant and dress 2 is sexy and shows off my curves. The more I look at pictures side by side, the more I like dress 2, but maybe that's just because it's more fresh in my mind?

Any other tips on how to decide between two dresses that I love for different reasons?

    Personally, I LOVE dress number two. I think dress number one looks a little more casual while dress number two is a little more formal. They're both beautiful on you, so maybe you could just pick based off of what kind of theme/vibe you're going for. Smiley smile

    Both are beautiful and look great. I like the front of dress 1 and the back of dress 2.

    They're both beautiful but dress 2 has my vote! Like you said it has everything you want. With it only being a sample, wouldn't they be able to order it in your size? I feel like if it was in your size, you'd still be able to move comfortably even with it being form fitting. You're right though, I see why it's such a difficult decision.

    If you love both, then maybe price could be a factor - which dress is more affordable? Smiley smile I'd go back and try on both dresses one more time by yourself to see which one you have more of a gut feeling about. It sounds like you're leaning more towards the second dress, but see how you feel when you try on the first dress again.

    Yes, I would definitely be able to order in my size. But it's hard to see exactly what it is going to feel like since this one is just so small on me, ya know? It feels really rigid right now, but that is probably just because it is so small on me, ya know?

    Yea, that's exactly what I was thinking but I understand where you're coming from. It's unfortunate that they didn't have a sample in your size but even in the photo it still looks stunning on you.

    They're both really pretty! While personally I like dress 1 a little better I feel like dress 2 fits your wedding a little better. Dress 1 feels a little more spring/boho-y to me while dress 2 seems more fall and country club.

    I really like them both, but I think the second dress does more for your body shape!
