    Hi Bees,

        A month ago, I fell in love with MS Coco..then last week, I saw this dress and I fell in love with it and got it. So now, I have 2 dresses. I can't decide which one looks better.

    Choice 1:

    http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=coco&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=96&style=A3149

     

    Choice 2:

    http://www.davidsbridal.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplayView?storeId=10052&catalogId=10051&categoryId=-49995498&currentIdx=60&subCategory=-49999486|-49995498&catentryId=1000195&sort=

    It depends on what YOU personally what - what looks best on you, what fits your personality and wedding best, and what dress makes you feel like a million bucks!! Best of luck, you are going to be beautiful, whichever dress you pick!!

    (my vote goes for the Coco!)

    On the models I prefer the Maggie... but it all depends on your style and your look :)

    They are both beautiful, but very different styles.  Is there one that appeals to you more, personally?  Is one of them more flattering on you?  I personally like the Coco, but I know that dresses can look different in the picture vs. on the person.  Go with whichever one makes you feel most fabulous!  Good luck!

    I prefer the Maggie also

    I don't like pick ups usually. I find them overly trendy and they will be, as Heidi Klum says, "OUT" in a couple of years. I'm not jumping on the trend bandwagon for my wedding. Also, I think maggie dresses just look rocking on women's bodies. And that one is just sexy enough. I love love love the top on it.

    Both are lovely dresses and I agree that the one you should pick is the one that looks best on you. But personally, I like the Maggie. Wish I had the figure to wear something like that!

    Both are very beautiful, but it's hard to tell when they aren't on you! I think that you should pick the one that feels best in and reflects your personal style best. I had a choice like this and I did a back to back appointment so I could see which one I liked better. If you really want a vote though, I'd go for the Maggie!

    The Maggie... definately the Maggie!

    I'm really not fond of pickups... I feel they are the 80's puff sleeves of the 2000s...

    I know it's been said already, but I'd go with the Maggie. It's more elegant and balanced looking I think. Definitely gorgeous!

    I concur with the majority. The Coco is more classic looking.

    I think both dresses are beautiful - the only problem here for me is that the pics aren't of you in them. From my own experience with dress shopping, something you love on a model in a pic doesn't necesssarily mean it'll look good on you. The dress I ended up getting was not at all what I set out to find; however, it WAS the one that looked the best on me.

    Is there a way you can try both on and takes pics of you in them? That would make giving an opinion on which one you should go with easier...

    They are both lovely, but I am partial to the DB dres.. Mostly because it is the SAME AS MINE!! I love that dress, it is so pretty and light.  I got mine in finally the other day and took it to my sisters house for safe keeping.

     

    Honestly, go with the one that you like the most. Take some time and try them both on and see which one you feel better in.

    Good luck.

    Hey Karenclyde!

    Mine is white.  My grandmother is making my veil for me.  She wanted to make all the granddaughters wedding dresses(there are about 13 of us girls) but she made one for the first getting married and decided that there was no way she ould be able to survive 12 more. 

    Anyways... For the viel I am having her make it simple tulle with a scalloped edge to match the neckline. It will be like elbow of fingertip length...she will probably do what i tell her not to, but I dont mind either way. I want her to do beading around the edges and that is it.  I will not have a blusher or anything in front of my face and may do a small tiara.  But that is it.  

    Sorry i went off topic... longest=fingertip length, shortest=right above my elbow
