Please Help Me Choose a Wedding Dress UPDATE pg. 9: It's been chosen!

[NHdisneylover]

I like number one and more to the point--based on how you wrote about them it seems to be the one YOU want. If you are "crazy about" a dress, that is the one to go with.
Congratulations BTW

#1 with NO straps
or
#5 is also good

Congratualtions and good luck!

I like them all except #4...that one isn't flattering at all.

I like #2 and the lacy one with the purple sash the best. But they are all pretty (except #4 lol)!

Congrats on the upcoming wedding!

#2 is my favorite on you.

Is #1 ivory? I think the color of it washes you out, I think you look much better in white.

 

[Shannon G]

I love #1 - I think it is the most flattering on you, and it is beautiful!

I really don't like #4 at all - as PP said, I don't think the high neckline does anything for you.

 

[diznygirl]

I like number 1 - I even like the color and I didn't think I would. Very regal.

Congratulations!

#2 is my favorite on you. It is very figure flattering

#1 the color is too close to your skin tone. Maybe in another color. It washes you out.

OMG!!!! hard choice...

I always say go with your gut, what you feel you look 'beautiful and feel comfortable in! So I would have to say, maybe the first one... Since that seems to be at the head of the pack. From your description, it may seem a bit more 'you'?????

I really like the lacey strapless one! (the seventh photo posted) WITHOUT any sash.... It is so beautiful and simple without the purple sash... A sash cuts one off at the middle and is not slimming.

This dress would be wonderful for the setting of your wedding, in a church, with the reception you are describing.

The last two posted would be my least favorites... the design of both of these is cut off by a waist/sash in the middle.


PS: Did you say December????
Have you considered any gowns with sleeves....

Congratulations!!!!

I have tried finding gowns with sleeves, but other than the one I posted, there really isn't anything available. I can't believe that there are no sleeved styles available.

#2 is my favorite on you.

Is #1 ivory? I think the color of it washes you out, I think you look much better in white.

It is a gold color. I love the dress but am not sure about the color. If I buy that exact one, it's $100 off since it is a sample. I can order it ivory or white though.

 

[Bren's Mom]

I think #1 is the most flattering although I'd have it fitted so you can remove the straps. I don't care for the color so much.

#2 is ok, I like it almost as much as #1...it might be the fact that it isn't in the right size

The others I dislike on you. The all lace one and the one with the funky neckline aren't flattering at all. They make you look short. (Sorry, trying to be honest!)

I think the color is pretty and it makes the details stand out, but I don't think it works well with your skintone, you just blend right into it and get kind of lost. The dress in white would look great on you, but then the details of the dress wouldn't stand out as much.
I think you just need to get the dress that you feel most beautiful and comfortable in because thats all that matters.

#1 gets my vote.

 

[Shmily1]

Congratulations!!! No matter what dress you pick, you will be a beautiful bride.

Here's my take on your dress choices:

1- LOVE IT!!! With or without the straps, you're still a princess!!
2- Not so much
3- Love this one too, but no sash.
4- Not at all for this one!
5- hmmm... this one is ok
6- I like this one ok but don't think it would be very easy to dance in with the sleeves like that.

 

[minnie56]

I like the last picture...it's very soft looking and flatters nicely..you must go with the one that you go "ahhhhh" in though when you put it on!!

 

[Shyvioletisme]

my favorites are number 1(gorgeous dress, love the details and it looks perfect on you..no straps though) and the lace dress from David's Bridal(with a sash). But since you REALLY love number 1, I'd go with your instincts and pick it!

Yes, we think alike!!!!
Number one - does it come in white or a lighter ivory? It does seem to be more 'you'.
and Number three, without any sash... (the 7th photo) At first I too would not like the heavier lacey fabric.. but this is a Winter wedding - and I keep coming back to that photo of this dress WITHOUT the sash - very flattering.

OP: I am not sure how tall you are, but if you want to add height, and have a slimming effect, avoid dresses that cut you off with a sash or waistband...

You will be just gorgeous no matter which one you choose!!!

 

[HeatherH]

I vote for #1! It's very flattering and a lovely color for your skin tone.

My least favorite is the last one with the cap sleeves. It just doesn't look very modern to me.

Good luck choosing! I'm sure you will be a beautiful bride with whatever you choose.

 

[Tinkermommy]

Hey OP, this is kind of fun. Can we help you choose everything else with your wedding kind of like the wedding they do on the Today Show every summer?

We could even do a virtual cake testing! Yummm.

That's okay, that's why I wanted others' opinions. And hey, I am short, so I know finding a good style will be a challenge.

 

[paintnolish]

I like the last one the best!

 

[Stitchfans]

IMO no 1 for sure. That one is lovely. I personally do not like any other color mixed in. Should be all white. JMHO.

I never like totally strapless either, but some people do.
