Lace vs. Sheer (Dress Help!)

Pamela, on August 27, 2011 at 9:41 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

Next weekend will be the first time I will actually try on dresses. I am having a beach wedding and can't decide what style of dress to pick. I have always loved lace dresses, but a sheer dress is more "beachy". Which would you pick!?

    Honestly, all three are really pretty dresses but I kinda think the 1st one says beach dress the most. I thought so the first time I looked at it. The last dress is on a beach, so it threw me off a little, and I was like hmm maybe that one.....but no, I really think the 1st one says beach alot more.

    Having that said though, you have to try them on first. You may think you like one from a pic, but then go try it on and hate it. keep an open mind, and you will KNOW which dress is the one! You will see it and go "OMG, this is it"

    Don't settle, you have plenty of time, even if you don't find one now.

    The second one is sooo pretty! But I generally prefer lace dresses.

    I know that the looking at pics, and trying them on are two totally different things. The problem that I have is trying to zero in on just ONE style. That will be next to impossible for me! Smiley smile I just needed a little push in the right direction. My mind changes hourly!

    If it's your first time trying on especially, you'll want to try different things. You may find out you don't like lace - or that you love it on you. Or you may find out that you like sheer more than you thought.

    I like 1 and 3. 1 is my favorite. Not a fan of 2, though I do like lace. Lace may not be the best for a beach wedding though.

    For the beach i would go with number 1. I have heard that lace can catch on sand, stones, twigs, and shells that are found on beaches. But oh my god i absolutely love the third one can you tell me what dress that is.

    I like #3 the best. Are you looking for a particular silhouette?

    I actually tried on #1 and loved it, but I wanted lace! I feel your pain...I would choose #1 or #2. They would both work for a beach wedding Smiley smile
