Torn between two

Sarah, on May 18, 2019 at 4:16 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 82
So I went dress shopping for the first time last week! I went in with an open mind but knowing my style and had a specific dress I wanted to try on. It was the first one I tried and when I looked in the mirror it took my breath away. I then tried a completely different, more formal style that I loved as well and now I’m torn. My mom and mother in law are insisting I go to tons of stores and try on tons of dresses but I know I’ve already tried on my dress. The first one is whimsical and fun and very much my style. The second one goes well with the venue and time of year. What do I do?! Go with my heart or my brain?! Picture attached for comparison.

    Go with your heart! I think both are beautiful, but only you know which one is the right dress for you!

    I agree with Fenja! You should do what makes you happy. That being said, I love the 2nd dress with the high neck. You can't go wrong with either!

    Go to different stores. Try on other dresses. If you are still thinking about these two go back and try them on again and decide which one makes your heart skip a beat and you don’t ever want to take it off and want to immediately go home with it, lol. I’m sure what your heart picks out as the first one to try on again is the one your heart desires, I do like the second one better IMO (looks gorgeous on you!) but it’s really about how YOU feel. Good luck!

    Go with your heart- you won't regret it at all! I had a dress stuck in my mind after I bought my dress. I just had to try it on again- since I had lost a lot of weight -and it fit perfectly. I loved how I looked in it and it was so pretty.... But it didn't make me cry or picture my wedding day. I knew it wasn't my dress. Go back and put them on and see which one for sure gives you that happy heart. ❤️

    I’d try some other dresses. If you keep thinking & comparing every other dress to these two, then you know these two are the ones! Then you should go back & try them on again & I think you’ll know which one to go with.
    I also found my dress in the first store I went to. But I went to other appointments & tried different styles & the more I tried on other dresses, the more I knew the first one was everything I want. It just helped solidify my decision & made me even more excited about it!

    From the photos you posted, 2nd dress looks very flattering on you, especially the top part! It’s more structured & it gives you a very nice shape.

    Try on a few more dresses and see if any of them beat that second one.

    Trying on other dresses won’t hurt, you might actually find one that hands down beats both of these OR it might allow you to know wholeheartedly which one you should buy. However, it’s your wedding and need to be 100% confident and comfortable

    It’s a absolutely your day and your dress - choose whichever one you love most! That being said, I personally love the second one ❤️ I’m newly engaged and haven’t gone dress shopping yet, may have just found some inspiration 😌

    I agree with the trying on more dresses approach absolutely. When someone is completely stuck between 2, it often means that neither is quite right. Trying on more can’t hurt, either you’ll find something that is above the rest, or, you’ll keep comparing everything to one of the above, and if that’s the case. That’s the one. Perhaps when trying on other dresses and comparing in your head to one of the above, that will make one of the above the clear winner.

    I agree with others that both look great on you! I think I like the one with the high neck because it really looks like it was made for you!

    I love the one on the right!

    I was also stuck between two dresses and thought I would absolutely choose one of them and I ended up choosing one that checked all the boxes! I don’t think it hurts to try on more and compare others!
