need help deciding on 2 very different dresses!

Kate, on September 22, 2019 at 10:49 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 25
Our ceremony will be in a cathedral, but the rest of the wedding will be outdoors in Tuscany, Italy.

The lace dress is perfect for a catholic wedding and looks stunning from the back with the matching veil. It makes me feel beautiful and a bit like a princess, although in reality, I work in fashion and can usually be more adventurous in my wardrobe choices...

The second dress with the bow detail at the back feels very old Hollywood glam and I feel like it reflects my style better... it doesn’t have a matching veil so I’ve been struggling a little bit to find something. The one you see in the photo is the best one I’ve tried although not perfect. I’m thinking to make the train slightly longer to add more drama.

All of my friends have voted for the second dress, however my fiancé prefers the lace dress (not surprised- I think it’s more guy-friendly). He is totally fine with me going with whatever I love and also is able to see the beauty in the second dress as well.

Please help!!!!!

    I’m on mobile so I can’t see this, but when are you getting married? Italy gets pretty hot in the summer. Both dresses are stunning, but if your wedding is in the summer I would go with the second dress.

    I LOVE #1 but it’s not my wedding. If you can’t get both, choose the one you want to say your vows in and see in your wedding photos forever.

    I prefer number 2
    The first one is gorgeous and everything, but the second one reflects your style and I’ve never seen anything like it. You need to be yourself!

    I think dress number 1 is the best! You wear that one so well and it is absolutely stunning. I feel only very few can pull of that style dress and you wear it very well!

    The second dress is most fashion forward, but the first dress is regal and stunning. Reminds me of Princess Grace of Monaco. Did your fiancé have any concerns about the cut of the second dress, I.e., off the shoulder, low back, because of it being a church wedding?

    I love the first dress, but also really love lace. Lace feels more romantic to me

    He doesn’t mind the low back but I think he is leaning towards the 1st dress anyway... not that that usually gets in the way of my decision making! Hah

    I'm a sucker for ball gowns so keep that in mind when I say I absolutely LOVE that first one. The view with the veil especially is just striking. The second is pretty but I just keep thinking about how annoying those arm holes would be to deal with.

    I personally LOVE the lace dress!! I think that you should go with whatever is your favorite though and whatever you think will make your future hubby tear up when he sees it 😊

    First dress is just wow! I think the first dress they’ll be talking about you in the dress and second would be talking about the dress on you, if that makes sense. You can always reflect your day to day style in a less expensive second dress for the reception if you can’t afford both dresses. They both look great on you so you’ll be stunning either way

    Thanks for such a great reply! I am planning for multiple outfits, however, wanted those to be something I could wear for special occasions after the wedding, which is why I unfortunately wouldn’t get both since they are both so “bridal”...
