Hi,

LOTS OF PICS!!! So a few days ago I posted a dress that I truly loved and really wanted; but I was afraid to say yes because of what my family thought about it👎🏾 With the help from all the wonderful ladies of WW, I put my fears aside and put me first...AND said YES TO THE DRESSSSSSS!!! 😍😁🎉🍾 buttttt before we can completely pop the champagne I now need to find a dress for the reception! The ceremony will be very modern and romantic but the reception will be more industrial with a boho vibe! Dancing is very big in my family and I really can't get down in my ceremony dress lol.

I've included some pics of the venue and 2 dresses that have caught my attention! What are your thoughts on the dresses? Which one screams boho/chic?

FYI dress 1 has this weird bandeau thing going on that I DON'T LOVE but I like the dress otherwise. Also won't be wearing a veil.

    #1 is more Boho, but # 2 is amazing. It fits your shape better.

    Yes #1 does nothing for my shape. #2 is definitely more of my style! Thanks!

    It really depends on what you're looking for. If you want one that absolutely shows YOU off, its dress #2 for sure because the neckline and shape of the dress do you a lot more justice. I also think you'd be too distracted by the feature you dont like in dress #1.
    Another thing to consider is how climate controlled your reception will be and your ability to be comfortable in either one. Dress #2 definitely looks a lot cooler. If your reception is in extreme AC, that might be a bad thing. However if you plan to do a lot of dancing, it could be a good thing.

    Great points Kristal!!! Yes I've been loving #2 since I first pulled it from the rack! I'm also loving the jean jacket trend so I'm getting one with some custom writing on the back...I'll use that I get chilly! Thanks so much.

    I think #2 is stunning on you! definitely flaunts your curves more than 1.

    If you dont love a major part of #1 then thats an auto no for me. #2 is beautiful and has a great pattern for your theme, but how well can you move in it?

    I know I don't love that one part of dress #1. With dress #2 my legs aren't restricted so I can move and as long as I can do that I'm good!
