Update! Empire waist VS. mermaid

[surfgirl]

Honestly, the Alvina doesn''t seem at all beachy to me. The Reem could pass on a beach but also might be a tad too much - for a beach. Not sure...Still love the Reem over anything else, though that first photo ringster showed was also lovely.

I guess I didn't mention, its not actually right on the beach. It will be at either the Four Seasons or Fairmont, and will be on a terrace overlooking the ocean and in a garden/ gazebo area.

And that first photo Ringster posted was probably my favorite too, out of all the suggestions. I'll have to keep that in mind for this weekend..

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions!

Gave me some new ideas to seek out and try on.
Brides.com is definietly my new favorite website- they have pics of dresses that aren't on a lot of the other sites.

I still vote for the reem acra--- the mermaid is pretty too but for some reason.. it doesn''t look as ornate..or for lack of a better word--"rich" looking. It just looks more designery (not a word

) I Looove all that beading.
Is there a way you could try on a smaller sample size ---maybe at a diff salon?

I really like the mermaid dress better. I think it just shows off your curves more.
