Help me choose

Wow to both! Whichever you feel the most beautiful in would be my choice.

Those are gorgeous! I really like coloured dress options and am not precious about tradition - pink is my favourite colour and I did consider it, but when it came down to it my thinking ended up being, when else will I get to wear a white gown? There are plenty of times when I could wear black gowns or a gorgeous full length dress, but very few times that you can wear a white dress. So, I wanted to take my chance.

That said, for some, white just isn't them. It would be wildly outside their personality to wear white. If that's the case for you, if it doesn't make you feel beautiful and special... who cares if it's one of the only times you can wear a white dress? Wear the dress that makes you feel absolutely stunning.

If financially feasible, I agree with the white one for the ceremony, and the black one for the reception! If not, I do prefer the style of the white one better regardless of the color.

They are both beautiful, but I'm not a fan of how the detachable sleeves look on the white one. I love the black one
