Hey i would liek to give my advice..... 1st i think u should try on dresses that aren't similar to either of these because you really never know what you might love once you put it on. 2nd if its solely between these 2 i think the 2nd one is more bridal and a little sexier & i think you want people to be liek WOW ... which is why i would choose the 2nd. If you have worn dresse just like the 1st one, you might not get that BRIDE feeling. they are both pretty similar to me which is why i think u should think outside the box and try on some different styles. however they are both beautiful but #2 takes the cake. its your day to shine!

The first is the Vanessa- I love it , it looks good on me and it is SOO SOO comfortable ( i feel like I'm in sweatpants in it... i love it) but I have worn SOO many dresses in that same style/shape so everyone who sees it on me is like "its so you" and yes it is "So me" BUT I dont want it to look like everyother dress I've ever worn.... which may be where my problem is... 

The other one is the Marion,- To me it feels more bridal, I feel like a real bride, I think it also looks just good as the vanessa but its just not as comfortable... but it isn't something I would typically wear... 

So my question- Is it more important to feel comfortable OR to feel bridal?! Should I go with a shape that I tend to gravitate towards for other occasions because it looks good on me and works OR should I go with something that is out of my comfort zone but makes me feel more like a bride?! Either way i havent had that "THIS IS MY DRESS" moment and now I'm thinking I never will... Time is ticking down for me and I Really can't choose... Hopefully you guys can help... I'm so torn I'm considering asking my fiancee but I want him to be surprised...

But that's OK because the third time's a charm and this one I love! It's a Jim Hjelm that I got at a store in LA that has huge discounts on dresses (up to 75% off) because they're samples directly from the designers. Great for your wallet, not so great if you're not exactly a sample size! I will definitely need to kick my workouts/weight loss plan into serious gear the next 8 months before the wedding so it's not crazy tight like it is in this pic, but here you go!

EmilyT... I think we are almost dress twinks. ;o)

Haha Emily, you are hysterical! I know EXACTLY what you mean about having dress reget... but i agree, you definitely need to put it on one more time to prove to yourself that you made the right decision!! This forum is SO not helping though! I see all these amazing dresses and I always second guess myself!! But your dress is absolutely gorgeous and looks amazing on you!!! I think you made the right choice!!

I think birdcages can be beachy! Paired witha flower or something? I am in the same dilemma, I want the veil in the pics but what if its like smacking my moh in the face cause its so windy? I think I'm getting a viel for my ttd session and wearing it then. Your dress looks great on you!especially with that tan!
