"Wow, that's beautiful!" OR "Woah, what was SHE THINKING?"

I think both dresses are beautiful - so either will be a perfect choice. My preference dictates #1 ... but #2 is also awesome. You can't make a wrong decision...

There's nothing wrong with dress #1, but if you LOVE dress #2, and you can afford to buy it, I say go for it. I think Dress # 2 is beautiful with all of it's beading and the neckline - you will definitely get the WOW you are looking for. And if you'll still use dress #1 for your AHR, that's just a bonus! I actually like # 3 too...

I like #2 on you best. #1 is okay, just a little boring compared to the second. So, I vote #2, you look happiest in it.

I actually really like the new dress and definitely don't think it'd be a what the heck kind of dress. I think it's beautiful and it's actually more flattering on you, IMO.

Both dresses are very beautiful. But the 2nd one would definitely be my pick! It's stunning. Definitely a 'princess' dress!!

Thanks so much for all of your fabulous opinions! I am so thankful for all of the support of everyone on this truly amazing forum...you're all making me feel so confident that I have found THE ONE!

 

And, to answer the question of selling dress #1 -- sadly, I already suggusted it to my mom and she sort of flipped out since she paid for it, so it still has to make some sort of appearance (even though she admittedly didn't "love" it when we bought it, either!)

 

Oh, and rest assured: after I buy dress #2, I won't step foot into another bridal salon again, unless it's just to get alterations! THAT would be asking for trouble, right!

 

A MILLION THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CHIMED IN!

Ok I think you look great in the second dress. It screams bride and you look soooo happy! I'm glad you are keeping the 1st one. I think it would be great shortened for an AHR or shower or something. I think the 1st one screams you!, but I don't think it screams you as a bride if that makes any sense HA!

I'm sure you've decided by now, but you look absolutely incredible in #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both dresses actually look amazing on you Don't let the fact that you are have a DW determine what type of dress you should get, your still a bride.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Although I have seen your first dress on your before (wedding dress thread) and thought it was practically made for you, I like your second dress better, but that's because I like a more "wow" dress too and that dress is very "wow" on you! Seeing these pictures side by side, if I may, I think your short hair style you had in the first dress picture was one of the reasons I really liked that dress on you- it looks good with short hair. Sound silly?? I really think you should get the dress you are in love with, it's your one and only dress and you should get the dress that makes you feel like the most beautiful bride!

I love the second dress with the sweetheart neckline...you look fabulous and if that's the dress you want I say go for it!!!!
