Torn between 2 Dresses

Dynesha, on August 11, 2019 at 11:14 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 31
I thought I was set on my dress decision! I made an appointment at a bridal salon that I’d visited 2 times prior to finally decide on a dress. I had the dress in mind pulled, but grabbed a few others just because. I was surprised by a dress that I randomly pulled that was similar to a style that I tried on and had in my top 4. I LOVED the dress when I put it on; I surprised myself because it showed a little more skin than I usually feel comfortable with but I felt covered enough.

Please help! I like both! The first dress photo is the one I had in mind and it totally fits my New Orleans theme. The 2nd dress photo that I unexpectedly loved is more romantic. The second dress is also $200 over my budget. The third photo is both dresses worn by the models. Any input is appreciated (and both samples were a size too small).

[Ignore my facial expressions as I was not paying attention.]

    I know this feeling all too well. I had put a deposit on a dress I said yes too (because I loved the price tag) and went back with my bridesmaids to show them. To kill some time before the “big reveal” I put on a dress and it completely blew my mind. I felt so damn beautiful and immediately started crying (I didn’t with the other) and knew it it was the one! It was also $300 over my budget, but I didn’t care I had to have it. So I said yes to it and I do not regret it. I look at it everyday and cannot wait to wear it. I know I made the right choice.

    My advice: go with the one that makes you feel the most beautiful. Remember all attention will be on you on your wedding day, so you want to feel good!! You look stunning in both, but I will say #2 is my favorite 😊

    I love the 1st. So elegant & unique. Love that it fits your New Orleans theme.

    But get the one that makes you giddy!

    Dress one is more sophisticated, dress two feels very whimsical to me, like garden fairy kind of whimsical. For your theme I would go #1.

    I like the 2nd dress on you, but you should choose the dress you feel most comfortable in. People wanted me in sleeveless but I was adamant that I wanted sleeves because I felt more comfortable in it. Go with your gut

    Oh, they are both gorgeous!

    If I had to pick, I would lean toward the second dress. The train adds something wow to it!

    Which are you most comfortable in?

    I love them both!! I think I may like the second one slightly better but you should choose the one that you can see yourself walking down the aisle in!

    I was torn between two as well. One was exactly what I envisioned and the other a little different. I ended up following my vision and getting exactly what I was looking for.

    I LOVE the second dress on you. They both look wonderful, but the second one is more popping in my opinion!

    Thanks for sharing! The first time I put Dress #1 on I thought “this is New Orleans!” and felt about 80% sure it was the right one. I feel that I had more of a “Say Yes to the Dress/bridal moment” in Dress #2. I’ll definitely take what you shared as your experience to heart.

    I love the second dress! It has a more romantic feel. The other dress is beautiful too, but I feel like you could wear that style of dress to a party.
