    Sorry - forgot to mention that my wedding is on a beach in Florida!

    The pic that I posted of the 2nd dress didn't work, so here's the link:

    No, I don't have any pictures in them - neither bridal salon would let me take pics.  I posted the website for the 2nd dress - sorry about that!

    I like the second dress more, i think it is more romantic and has more character.

    I won't lie, I'm leaning towards "Harmony" myself! Both are really beautiful! Which do you feel more comfortable in?

    Its hard...they're both pretty! Wish I could see the 2nd one on you.

    By guessing, I'll have to say I like the 2nd on you..althought if you do get it...maybe get the sash in an off white or something. I don't like the way it looks on that model...white on white

    I like the second one as well.  Especially like the lace in the back.

    LOL neither of the bride's is me!  Both models - I think they are awful wedding models though!

    I have to be honest, I have been leaning towards the 2nd one as well... it's just more money & the size they have at the bridal salon is way too small for me, so it's hard to tell how it will fit.  I wonder if I should just go for it and have my seamstress work wonders?  I was able to try on the strapless gown and it looked great! Very flattering.  I guess that's my main problem...

    Do I get the dress I think is prettier or the one that might look better on me???????

    Definitely the second dress!  I like it better overall but it's also much more appropriate for a beach wedding.

    If you are concerned about the price of the second dress, I recommend ordering it from Netbride.com.  They are really great.  I ordered my Watters dress from them and saved a lot of money.

    It's hard to tell without seeing them on you.  Without knowing how they fit you, just looking at the dresses, #2 is more my style.

    The Watters dress! Oh my gosh, it's beautiful. I mean the first one is lovely as well, but the second just really makes a statement and stands out, I think.

    I think they are both beautiful, I can see how you're having such a hard time, but I think I would go with dress #1.

    I agree with @Jessie. It's hard to tell without seeing them on you. I like both, the 2nd one is more me, but I would consider which I feel better in - having straps or strapless.
