They're both very flattering on you, but I personally prefer the first one (and I don't think it looks yellowy at all!). I am not a huge fan of satin in general, and it does sound hot for Florida in June! Plus, there's something a little too medieval about the dress to me. If it's just your first "official" day, though, why not keep looking?
I really like the second one. It makes your hips look slimmer, not that they are huge, but you know what I mean. b/c the skirt is wider on the first one.
If your wedding is outside, you will be hot either way.
i find it hot under those big dresses just in the store, so I don't think it will make too much of a difference. I knew someone who was sweating in October in New Orleans in a tule skirt so....
@Frog E.: I agree if you are not in a rush.....keep looking and make sure you are 100% sure. Don't buy a dress b/c it is cheap, you might regret it and want to get a new one and spend more on another one.
I prefer the 1st one, but thats just my style, i'm not crazy about the inverted pleats on the 2nd one, plus the 1st one is more modern lookin
i like the first one better. i am not a fan of all satin dresses, so i may be biased. i also just find the first one more flattering. i don't think it looks yellow. but would that be the one you get or could you order it in white if you wanted?
The first one, for sure - it's more modern, and much better for a Florida wedding. And I agree with @Frog E. that the second one has a slight medieval look to it.
You look lovely in both. But I'd suggest you keep looking - I bet there's one out there that you'll LOVE.
I like the 2nd one better on you. The 2nd one makes your torso longer while the 1st one makes you look shorter.
the first one is sooo falttering on you (plus...i can't resist lace!)
I didn't realize that the 2nd one could be medieval, but I totally see it now! Renaissance fairs are NOT my thing, so thanks for pointing that out.
I am definitely planning on going to some more stores, but this appointment was to get a more focused idea of what I like. I tried on everything from mermaid to humongous ball gowns. I agree that the 1st one is flattering, yet comfortable for the sweltering June weather.
@purpleunicorn, I have another picture of it, and it looks less yellow, but I didn't post it because I'm making a really weird face. I think the flash was doing something weird.
Thanks for the input! :)
I like everything about the first one! Pick that one! Pick that one! You look beautiful.
Yesterday was my first day shopping too! :)
I like the first one. I would look some more if you are not absolutley one of them is the one. I went shopping yesterday and found some I liked, but I went today and found some ones I liked even better than yesterday.
The first dress is beautiful! But like all the other bees, I think you should allow yourself to enjoy the dress shopping process! Definitely keep this one in the back of your mind while you shop!
@tksjewelry: Yayy! I'm a bit nervous to plan a wedding in such a short amount of time, but that's the day he asked permission to date me. It means a lot to us to start our married life on the same day we started our relationship. What time will your wedding be?
I think the second one makes you look thinner but I do not think either one is THE dress
Of the two, I like the first one better. The second one seems slightly dated to me. You look great in both of them but I think maybe keep shopping? The first one is really pretty and it does make your waist look tiny, but I feel like it makes you look bigger than you are on the bottom.
I think the first dress looks stunning! But I echo previous posters - keep looking if you're uncertain
dress number 1! Although both are beautiful on you, the first one seems to suit you better! It is absolutely gorgeous in every way!
After sleeping on it, I've decided that I like dress #1, but I'm not LOVING it. Dress #2 is out. It's all good, because I didn't want to be done dress shopping. Thanks for the insight, Bees!
Keep looking - you'll know it when you try it on. The first is charming but the second makes your figure look much older than it is. Maybe try some different shapes and makers - Galina designs at Davids Bridal are a bit more youthful. You have a great figure but we can't see it in these styles. Just my 2 cents. Have fun trying on gowns -it's a chance in a lifetime :)
I like the first one!
Also, it probably looks yellow because the shop's lights have a yellow tint. :)
I like the first one. I don't know you, but it looks like it suits better than the other one. The second looks more formal and renaissance-y. The first looks so girly and it's definitely not yellow. I thought for sure my dress looked purple, the color is Oyster, but it seemed purple. But no one else saw that but me. I love it.
Dress #1 is MY dress! I love it! But go out and shop some more if you want. BTW dress #1 is also discontinued.
I actually like how this dress is a bit more ivory than some of the others. But ivory looks a lot better on me than white or diamond white.
dress #1 was my first-runner up :) i loved the way it made my waist look tiny, too! i think it looks lovely on you! i do agree about it being more "golden" than ivory-- my guys are wearing charcoal which i thought would class with my dress which is one of the reasons i didn't choose it. it is so beautiful though, so i vote #1

Yesterday was my first official day of dress shopping with my mom and some of my BMs. I found two dresses that I really liked, but I'm up in the air. They are very different from each other, in my opinion, and that confuses me even more!
