I can't believe I actually bought my dress already!! I only started looking last weekend and on my second store visit, I tried on the same dress I tried on at the first store, and I went ahead and bought it. Now...just for kicks and giggles, I have posted the two final contenders. They are very different, so it was hard for me to choose. My mom and one of my maids of honour and one of my bridesmaids were there, and they ultimately helped by deciding the one I chose looked a lot better! Which do you all like?! :))

#2 is STUNNING, and you are absolutely glowing in it!

Congrats on getting the dress, whichever one you chose!
 
Congrats on finding your dress BBO! Yay, one thing checked off the list!

I think both dresses look great on you, but I agree with Mere that you look so happy in dress #2. So which one did you decide on?
 
Thank you both, ladies!! :) I think it's a give away that I did in fact choose the second! :) I took the picture after I made the decision, so...I was definitely smiling big! :)

The first was definitely beautiful and felt really nice, but...the second is a look that is unexpected!
 
Both are gorgeous, but #2 looks amazing on you!!! :appl:

Thank you!! :) I didn't think that type of dress would "work" for me, but...I guess when you have the right structure...it does wonders! :)

I am happy and relieved that I have at least one part of the wedding done! :)
 
The second one looks totally gorgeous on you. Glad that was your choice. Congrats!
 
Congratulations!!! I don't think you could have gone wrong with either as they are both gorgeous!! But I am glad you were able to pick one :)
 
Congrats! That dress is gorgeous!
 
Congrats! #2 is very slimming. Beautiful!
 
Congrats BBO! Both are gorgeous, it's obvious why you narrowed it down to these two. Dress #2 is absolutely stunning. I'm sure you are going to feel like a million bucks wearing it. No worries, everything else will sort itself out!

Thank you so much!! I hope so! =)
 
I like both, but #2 is just amazing on you. It just fits you so perfectly and shows the gorgeous shape of your body!

Thank you so much!! :)) I didn't think that was even there. Thank goodness for some serious structure in the dress!
 
Yay! I'm glad you found your dress. I hope you enjoyed shopping! Really both look great on you but I like 2 just a bit more. The flowyness on dress 1 is very pretty though.
 
Absolutely Alma for the goddess-like win!! :love: Love it!
 
I love it! it makes your waist look so tiny :)
 
BBO, I'm a big fan of a swishy skirt but that second dress shows off your knock-out figure! Congratulations on choosing such a gorgeous dress :appl:
 
LOL, we have very similar figures and skin tone!

You look great in that dress. Hope mine looks even half as good on me.

If you tell me you're a munchkin like me, that'll just be freaky....

Thank you! Yeah, the first one was so soft and LIGHT actually. It offers a very different look from the second one. I did enjoy shopping, though...it was short lived. :)

hehe...a waist I didn't know I had. The dress in the pic is a size smaller than what I ordered, but...it's VERY structured!

Thanks so much! I always pictured myself wearing the swishy dress, at least, that's what I looked at mostly online and in magazines. I liked the mermaid fit, but...didn't think I'd pull it off. It surprised me.

Thanks!! I bet yours will. Can't wait to see what you pick!

I'm not as short, (5'8'') or we'd be body doubles! :))

ETA: I just saw your thread that you got a Pronovias. From the pics I saw of it, it's BEAUTIFUL. Looking forward to seeing the pic of you in it. :)
