Wedding Dress
Taking a Vote

As some of you may know, my first dress did not work out (see previous posts). I have since tried on several more dresses in search of finding the one, but I think I am too scared to commit a second time. I like all of these dresses, but just can't bring myself to make a decision. Soo, I am hoping all of you wonderful ladies could help me in picking my dress. I appreciate everyone's vote & comments :)

I really like the third dress.. if it was in white, of course if your not looking for a white dress, it is still really pretty.. I like how sparkly it is.

I can see why you're having a difficult time... you have a perfect figure and ALL the dresses look stunning on you!!!!  Great problem to have!  And don't feel like you have to rush the decision.  The Amara Lee is unique, a bit dramatic, and yet just incredibly beautiful... the back of the Moonlight dress is breathtaking... and the details on the Jovi are fun.  If you haven't felt that "THIS is the one I will walk down the aisle in" feeling, tho, keep looking.  And the service at the salon you go with does make a big difference in the confidence of your choice, I agree.

I think #6, but honestly all of them are beautiful!
Except #2 (which isn't very flattering, it makes your hips seem non existent), and #4 which is a bit boring compared to the others.

The last two I don't really love, but that's just a personal preference thing, they look great on you!

Oh good Lord girl! Must you look good in everything? LOL

Ok so I vote for 1st, 2nd, 5th. And on first glance, the one tha tcaught my eye most was the first.

Hope that helps but whichever one you end up with, you'll be spectacular, if that helps!! :)

Well I can see why it might be confusing...they are all pretty and look great on you. I am selling my dress too cause it's not me and I bought it too soon (like 3 months ago and still have like 10 months before my wedding) anyway back to you, I think I like how the Melissa Brooch 2 fits you the best. I'm not sure what you are looking for but that would be my suggestion. Keep in mind that you are wearing it and ask yourself what makes you feel comfortable and is it what you are looking for as for style?
Good luck and happy planning
:)

I like the one called "cafe" - the third one - the train is a bit much - but the dress is stunning and you can carry something that flashy and dramatic. It accentuates all of the right places and looks very couture.

I'm going to be slightly bias on this.  I wore the Amara Royale (a version of the Amara Lee) as my dress and I loved it.  There are pics of my wedding on my blog (although it's in red, you can still see what it looks like).  It does come in white and ivory I believe.  If you go to maggiesottero.com and look at the maggie bride's you'll find a picture of a bride in white.  The main difference is the lace in the front, and unlike my dress you can also get lace in the train (but costs extra).  I will agree with kristi--if you didn't get the "wow I want this dress" then maybe you should continue looking.  I knew as soon as I saw the Amara Royale that it for me.  So if you have doubts keep looking.

Number 6 is definitely the most flattering on your body.  Some of them have a little too much fabric and you get lost.  The 1st one is my second choise because again it is flattering!

Good Luck!!!

First of all, you are so beautiful...I'm sure that you hear that a lot!!

You look amazing in all of the dresses so you really can't go wrong!! My favorite on you would be the Moonlight, it is a gorgeous gown and looks great on you! The Mori Lee gown looks like a toned down (and less "grand") version of the Moonlight.

My second favorite is the Jovi gown :) SO romantic!!!

Good luck with your choice!!!

We are not being much help, are we?  I agree; you look stunning in everything!  I'd go with the Jasmine or the Melissa, myself.  I really love the Melissa on you - I think it's very figure flattering and classic.  But like everyone else said, you really do look gorgeous in all of them!

I love the dresses!  Although I thought you looked great in your first dress if I had to choose I would vote on the Melissa brooch 2 or the Mori Lee.  The are both very flattering in them.  I really really like the cafe one as well, but it doesn't appear to have as much structure as the other dresses, so it might not be as flattering...or maybe a crinoline underneath would help.

Melissa Brooch & Jovi really show off your figure, whereas some of them did not do justice of your perfectly slim frame....embrace it! p.s. you look gorgeous in all of them, it was tough to vote

I think the Jovi and Melissa are the two best on you. The back of the Cafe is really beautiful but I feel like the front might look better if it was a little fuller on the bottom or had a sweetheart neckline.

Thank you to everyone who has voted!  I have tallied up the results so far (however, if you voted for more than one, I only counted the first dress you mentioned in the tally) and the Melissa Brooch dress has 6 votes, the Amara Lee has 5 votes, and Cafe & Jovi are tied at 4 votes each.  Since these dresses seem to have the unanimous majority of the vote, is there one of these four that you like best?  If it helps, I am going for a vintage theme (we're trying to incorporate the movie "The Notebook" as much as we can) so our bouquets & boutonnieres will be fabric, feathers, & lace.  I really appreciate everyone's feedback & honest opinions-you all are the best :)

I love the first 2, they are great!!!! I love the gold detailing on the first one. I really love the back of the Melissa Brooch 2, but I'm not crazy about the front. They all look great so no matter what you chooses you are going to look amazing, but those are my favorites for you!!!

I LOVE the Jasmine on you...it's absolutely perfect for your figure, and like another bride said you're just glowing and beaming in that one!!  You have such a slender frame that some of them just seem to swallow you up haha, but that dress just hugs your body perfectly and accents your curves in all the right places!!  Maybe it's a little too plain for your taste (based on some of the other dresses you tried on), but honestly sometimes less is MORE and you could always accent this dress with some bling (hey, who doesn't love wearing a little bling haha)!!!  My 2nd choice would be the Amara Lee...but I think I'd have to see the back of it first to make a final decision, but I'm definitely loving Jasmine the most right now!!! ;-)

Hey Hecallsmehisdarlin;
On the melissa brooch- which I think is the most figure flattering on you- do you remember if it was taffeta or silk that you tried on?
You probably don't remember- but if you do.... I would love to know.

I would pick either Jovi detail 2 or melissa brooch 2. It depends on if you want more detail or more plain, but these two are definately my favorites! I don't care for the ones with the seem that goes around right above the knee, I don't think they are very flattering.
dreamingbride's Red wedding
 |  Fairfield, CA, USA  |  01/02/2010  | 
jovi detail or melissa broche...they look perfect and compliment ur body shape...give u nice curves and the dresses are gorgeous classy and sexy..i love the sweet heart on the jovi, and the beading, and the wrap styles on both are very nice...the broche is a lil low in the front, odd place to call attention too but you still look beautiful in and the back is soooo pretty!!!

My personal favourite dress is the 3rd one Cafe, but I don't think it's the best on you, infact the most stunning one on you I think is Moonlight. Now I've looked at these about 20 times as it was hard to make a decision, you look amazing in both.
But my advice would be, if you don't already know it's your dress, then it's not your dress. Keep looking slowly, and don't panic into a rush buy. My wedding dress was the 2nd one I tried on, and I tried a few others on after, but nothing compared once I'd worn that. I just knew! So I'm kinda jealous you get to try on so many, I always imagined I would, but cheated myself out of it! Enjoy the process.
I haven't read what happened to your other dress, but I'm intrigued now so I'm going to go have a look!

OK silly me, I just read your other comment about vintage style, and considering that, I don't think Moonlight is the best then. I would vote Cafe, but the colour is not right on you, ivory would be much better. I love vintage style too, my dress is quite similar to that one, probably why it's my fave. I still think though, that if you're not sure, you should  take some more time. Good luck xxx
