Torn between 2 dresses!

Candace, on June 6, 2020 at 8:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 40
Hi everyone! I need help on how to decide between 2 dresses. They are very different from each other and from 2 different stores. I fell in love with the second dress I tried on almost immediately. I cried when they put the veil on!


At my second appointment I ended up liking another gown that has a completely different look to it. It's much more modern and very unique. I can't decide between the two! The first is more bridal, but the second is just so different.
Has anyone else had this issue? How did you decide?

    Another question to ask yourself, when you imagine your big day and walking out to see your fiancé at the end of the aisle - which dress do you imagine yourself wearing? Whichever is the one that first pops in your head is the dress.

    I also forgot to ask is it in your budget for both? Aha some people do one dress for ceremony and another for reception

    Your post sounds like you really want the first dress. Unique dresses can be fun but which dress will you love when you look at your wedding photos in 20 years? Which dress do you want to say your vows in? I’m sure you look gorgeous in both but go with your gut.

    I think I love them both equally but for different reasons. Both are right at the top of my budget and they are the same price 😫. The store actually discounted the second dress 50%.

    I vote for this! It’s beautiful on you. I love the train. It flatter your figure. The hip area look better than the second dress. I like the back too.

    The first dress for sure!!! No comparison!! 😍The V-neckline is much more flattering along with the beautiful illusion back and the train is gorgeous.


    As for the second dress, that portion at your collarbone isn’t very attractive. It cuts you off and actually looks a little disjointed next to the sweetheart neckline. Additionally the back and the train doesn’t compare to the first dress.

    I had the same problem! I fell in love with two dresses on my first visit; the first one I tried on was what I had always pictured myself wearing and was timeless "bridal." The other was more of a modern style and I didn't expect to like it or feel good in it. But I was stunned by the girl looking back at me in the mirror! I knew I felt special in it but struggled to let go of one I'd always pictured. In the end, I took a risk and went with the "wow" dress Smiley smile

    #1 all the way. I thought “wow!” when I saw it. The 2nd I thought “that’s nice.”

    Definitely the first. Especially since you had such a strong reaction to it. Smiley smile
