    Still not decided, but I did take some fuzzy pictures at the salon. Thanks to everyone's response, I feel better about picking the dress. I think whichever dress I pick will be great. But here are the pics anyway - just for fun. Disregarding fit and price issues, which dress looks better on me, and which one fits the venue better?

    Bee - sorry it's such a bad picture, the background blends into the dress, and my arm's shadow gives me a weird silhouette, but I hope it suffices Bee or Fern update - with pictures! :  wedding Icon Sad:

    I don't know if it is because the picture is better but FERN gets my vote. I love lace and Bee seems so much more rich but the pic is bad. The A line on fern gives you a better silloutte tho and it's more modern.

    I think they'll both fit nicely in your venue, but the Fern dress is just stunning on you! You look so tall and lean in it! Those tiers do wonders for you. :) I also think the lace is just so sweet and bridal.

    Can't wait to hear which you pick!

    There's just something about Fern that I love more on you! Can't put my finger on it, probably because it's late... :)

    I am changing my vote to Fern. I think it looks much better on you than it does on the model. I saw it on another bride today and it took my breath away. Such a beautiful gown!

    I think your venue is nice enough, that either of them would look fine, even though the wedding is outside.  However, I love the look of Fern on you. You look stunning!

    Update:

    I went back to the salon and tried both dresses on again, but this time, I kept each dress on for a while. Even though Bee fit better, it started feeling uncomfortable after a while, whereas I felt good wearing Fern the whole time, so...

    I bought the Fern!

    It also helped that my Mom was with me, and she kept gushing about Fern being THE dress for me. Thank you everyone for voting. I bought the dress before I could see all the votes, and I'm glad I picked the most favored dress. I'm very happy with my choice and I can't wait to wear the dress again.

    Everyone has been so helpful on this board, I'm sure I'll be back to ask for more help during the planning process. Until then, take care and good luck planning!
