    My mother lives a few states away and is in town this weekend and I really want her to be part of my dress decision. I have probably tried on over 30 dresses and have a few favorites. I can't even decide between satin and lace. I have narrowed it down to my top 4 and they varry in price from $900 to $1,500.  Recently i tried on dress A) Oleg Cassini Dress CWG324 and loved it!  I had a great feeling in it but I dont know if thats beacuse it my favorite dress of the day or I really loved it.  I need some HELP ladies. 

    I'm so afraid I am going to choose a dress and regret it later.

    1 & 3 are my favorites on you.  They are such different dresses!  I can see what it's hard to pick.  Keep shopping and 'the' dress will keep revisiting you in your thoughts :)  I think #1 will be more timeless, if that makes a difference to you.

    I really love La Sposa Fanal (I'm wearing it myself) and it looks amazing on you, but I really like you in lace.  That last dress is beautiful on you!

    WOW you look STUNNING in the third dress.  they all look pretty on you because they are all pretty dresses and you have a lovely figure, but the third one is just in a whole other category.  it looks like it was made for you.

    I can't even decide which one I like better - you look great in all of them!  #2 is probably my least favorite although even that looks beautiful.  The first one is so romantic and beautiful; 3 shows off your figure beautifully and is a stunning dress, but something about the last dress just catches my eye - it shows off your figure but is also the beautiful lace to give it the romantic, soft feel.

    What kind of ceremony and reception are you having?  I think 3 looks more formal whereas 1 and 4 will work for any type of ceremony/reception.   Sorry, I'm no help but you look absolutely beautiful in all of them and cannot make a bad choice here!  Good luck!

    My wedding is very traditional and romantic. . Im going to have dark eggplant purple BM dresses with lots of big white flowers.  Im going for elegant.  We are getting married and having our reception this beautful old hotel that is meant to resemble italian buildings.  Thats they only reason I'm shying away from the La Sposa Fanal  bc its so modern.  AHHH this is so hard.   I think its  NO on the Watters one bc that gown is the most expensive! 

    I still dont know which one.

    The La Sposa gown blows all the others out of the water. It looks outrageously good on you. No contest.

    Do you think the La Sposa says "romantic?"

    The La Sposa looks beautiful on you, but can you move in it?? It's also a little Vanna White for my taste :)

    I voted for the Watters, but the Oleg Cassini is a close second in my opinion.

    If you are going for the traditional romantic look I would say the last one would be my #1 choice.  However I love the Las Sposa but I feel it's more "glamorous" and less romantic.

    You have a fabulous dilemma!  Wink  You look amazing in ALL of the gowns!  Smile

    I agree with the majority of the bees, the 3rd dress looks incredibly flattering on you!  However, I feel it has more of a classy/sassy look vs. a romantic/elegant look that suits the "style" you've described.  I really like both of the lace gowns on you as well because they compliment your figure!  But, I do think if you altered the first one to have a modified sweetheart neck it would look just wonderful on you! 

    Just my two cents...   Good Luck and happy planning!

    I, personally, like the Casablanca one the best, BUT the La Sposa looks just plain fantastic on you!

    @melisslp: I was definitely going to make it a sweetheart!  I think that would make a big difference. 

    Thank you everyone!

    @tomboypink: You are so right. its not romantic...it's glamourous. Good word choice.  I attached my inspiration board (not finished). Maybe this will help.

    It is between 3 and 4 for me. Your body looks great in # 3. I usually go for the lace dresses but in this case, It has to be # 3. Also, based on your inspiration board, I think you can go either lace or satin.

    I think everyone's voting for the La Spose because it shows your gorgeous figure the best, but I don't think that's the look you're going for. I have a similar taste as you and prefer more romantic/flimsy/lacey dresses,  so I wouldn't choose LaSposa for myself, and I don't think it's the perfect dress for you. It's sexy, flashy, more like a great evening dress for a big event, but I don't think it's particularly bridal or romantic. I like the Oleg Cassini and the Casablanca (voted for the latter) the most.

    ETA: This reminds me of the latest SYTTD Atlanta episode. There was a stunning cheerleader who fell in love with this beautiful lace gown, but her mom wouldn't let her buy it because she wanted the dress that showed more T&A.

    if you prefer lace then go with the lacy gowns.. i personally like taffeta and satin so those are the two gowns i would choose.. but it really has to be what you want

    If you don't end up with that third dress, I shall be very sad. Not that it matter much as I am a stranger on the internet and all. But seriously, you in a dress that's not #3 is just a travesty.
