I have two gowns that I really love. The first is more fun and unique, and the second is more traditional and romantic. I cannot decide which i prefer. they are both lovely and cost about the same.

I have two gowns that I really love. The first is more fun and unique, and the second is more traditional and romantic. I cannot decide which i prefer. they are both lovely and cost about the same. Dress #1 is a bit large on me in the photo so it would definitely be more fitted if i ordered it. and Dress #2 ran a bit small so is a bit tight on the hips.

I would add a small glittery or flowery belt to Dress #1 and I would add a flower to Dress #2 on the hip area. I also would add a layer of blush tulle to Dress #2 because Im really loving the blush shade in general.

The wedding is in August at a farm/garden outdoor venue. I am an artist which is why i really like the fun whimsical ruffles - they have a lot of great movement to them and have blush color mixed in. But I also really like the soft romantic and traditional feel of the second dress, especially the lace trim at the bottom.

Neither of these photos do the dresses justice! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

    #1. You look fantastic in it!

    The bottom of the second dress looks like out of control pubes busting out of the bottom. So no on that one.

    I'm not a fan of ruffles but I think the first dress is actually really beautiful and my favorite! The second one looks like it's too sudden going from a tight fit to a flowy fit. I think the first one is also a lot more fitting for who you are and the wedding you envision. Good luck deciding!

    It came down to two for me and I thought "which one would make me really sad if I didn't buy it?" and there was one I felt I'd be more sad over so I knew that was THE one.

    I think #1 suits you better.

    #2 is lovely too, but it reminded me of several other people's weddings, so #1 is definitely more unique!

    I vote 2. It's a show stopper on you. I'm not a huge fan of ruffles though. Smiley tongue

    Definitely the second one. Both are gorgeous but this one seems more flattering.

    I was all prepared to say #1 until I scrolled down and saw #2. Just something magical about that one. It's a mix of everything rolled into one dress: modern, timeless, sexy, and romantic.

    I love #1, but my dress had ruffles at the bottom so I might not be the best person to listen to lol
