Hi, everyone! I am a newly engaged bride at the very start of planning, etc. I had been researching dress styles for months and months prior to becoming engaged and I have settled on a style of dress, but can’t seem to decide about the detailing. I am someone who likes simplicity when it comes to dresses but also some elegance as well. I have attached photos of each design. One is from the Disney Fairytale Wedding 2020 collection called “Ariel”, and the other is from Randy Fenoli’s Silver Springs collection and is also called “Ariel”. Randy’s has beading on the bodice and has a very beautiful design overall, however the Disney one is catching my eye because it is on the simpler side with some delicate ruffles and ruching on the bodice. Not to mention, the skirt/train looks stunning! What do you all think? I’d love to hear some outside opinions. By the way, we are having a beach wedding, so the “mermaid” style dress is so perfect!
They're both gorgeous! I think I like the 2nd one a bit more. Have you tried either of them on yet? I would seek out both to try on in person. I actually ended up with a dress in a completely different silhouette than I imagined (wanted A-line and ended up with fit and flare).

Thank you! 😊😊😊. I am going to try them on soon, I just have all of these different ideas in my head! Trying on will definitely help for sure, who knows, I may end up doing what you did and go with something completely different! 💗
Personally, I would recommend trying on all different styles to make sure you know what you actually want. I'm personally not a huge fan of a mermaid style dress, but that doesn't mean you won't love it. I also love glitter & lace so I like the second one better.

That’s what drew me to it initially! With that one the detailing speaks for itself coupled with the silhouette, and then the first one is simpler but the skirt and train are to die for and I could easily jazz it up with some statement jewelry. So hard to decide!
They are both lovely. You’ll have to try them on. I thought I’d end up with one style of dress but once I tried 15 or so on, I went with a dress of a totally different style. Try lots on and have fun!
