Pictures of my dresses!!!!

I love both of them on you but I agree that the first one is more traditionally bridal looking. Good job though!!!

I think they are both stunning! I love the back on the 1st, and the sash on the 2nd... either way you will be gorgeous!

Both look great but I think the first one compliments you better. It shows off your waist and makes a nice silhouette. The back is awesome. I think the first one is less complimenting your body shape. But that may come from the pics.

Did you try to clip the dress in the back like they do in the salon, to make it fit better and get a better idea ?

Both look beautiful on you but I like #1

I like the second one a lot on you!

Heather!!! I'm so glad I saw this before going to work!!! I've been dying to see both of them on you.

It's hard to know without them being fitted properly, because the first one is very loose around your hips, so isn't as flattering, but I really like the 2nd one best. I love the lace, the sash, the way it fits you, the fact that it's more streamlined than the big princess cut of the 1st.

Either way, you're probably right to bring both to the seamstress and get her to pin you into both to see what they'd really look like on you when they're fitted.

I have to say that I really do like #1. The back is beautiful and feels "beachy" to me. But, that one is more my personal style, so I might be biased.

The second one is also very pretty. Would you keep the white sash or use a colored one?

You could always keep both and use one as a TTD, so you get pictures in both!

Oh Heather...you look beautiful!!

I like the first one...just because it's a booby cut & that is totally my style!!

Why don't you get the first one altered and then decide? You cannot really get a true feel of what you look/feel like until the dress actually fits you!

The first time I tried on my dress it fit me perfectly & I loved it!!! The second time (in a different store) I tried it on & it was too small & I didn't like it so much. But I just remembered how much I liked it the first time & went with it. And my first time trying on my real dress it was too big & it didn't feel right or as nice...I just know that once the alterations are done it will be amazing. The same for you I"m sure!!

So, if it's not too pricey get the first one altered and even bring both like you said...try both on the day of see which one you "feel right" in! Or you could always wear both...one ceremony, one reception...or use one as a TTD. You have so many options & I'm sure whatever you decide will be perfect!!

heather - i also like the both of them - they are great beach choices... light enough but you still look like you are in a wedding gown.

I am putting my vote for the First one - you look like a bride! and with your long hair and the low back it will look stunning because your skin will peel through even if you leave your hair down.... the back definately accentuates your awesome curves too... So I wouldn't stress about loosing all that much weight either! Your curves are rockin' and besides if you can always throw on something like spanx to make you feel more comfortable.

either way you will love your look and everyone else will too!

good luck! you wedding is soooo close = )

Heather I'm not much help b/c I really think you can't go wrong with either!!! They look beautiful....can't wait to see what you decide!!! Good job picking
