    HELP ME PICK A DRESS PLEASE--- PICS OF ME IN DRESSES. decision needed by tomorro :  wedding beach dress halter strapless opinion which fat arms GetAttachment.aspxHELP ME PICK A DRESS PLEASE--- PICS OF ME IN DRESSES. decision needed by tomorro :  wedding beach dress halter strapless opinion which fat arms GetAttachment 1.aspx

    I am a beach wedding bride. Wedding on the sand in Florida and reception at a restaurant at a yacht club. I need help deciding between the dresses. At first glance, the halter seems more flattering, but there is no sparkle to it. i was told that one is cute and one is pretty.. not sure I agree with that. I was also told that one is more casual and one is more formal.. I may agree with that... but that doesn't help me pick. The strapless is too big on me in this pic, but sized right it nips my waist in very much. The halter is a zip up back and the strapless is a lace up which is great for sizing. I am looking for the one that is beachy, and first and most important is flattering and gorgeous. Classic and timeless. The halter is very unique, but is it strange? Is the strapless too cookie cutter... just like every other girls dress? Someone please help me. PLease remember the strapless will show of waist more when I have the right size. Which is more appropriate? Which is more flattering on arms? have to decide tomorrow. I am down to a deadline.

    I personally like the one on the left more. I think that it is very figure flattering. It doesn't have quite the train that the other one has either. The lack of train will probably work better in the sand. It is also very timeless and classic in my mind. Either way you go you will look beautiful though!! :)

    I like both, but personally I like the one on the left a bit more. You can always add "sparkle" through jewelry, veil, etc. I just love the fluttery, flowing skirt on it.

    I like the halter top dress and if you want sparkle  you can add some bling i think.

    I pick the one on the right!  I see what they mean by cute v. pretty.  Halters tend to be more "cute" because they remind me of summer tops, bikinis, and prom dresses.  The strapless is pretty because of how elegant the cut is (so flattering on you) and how gorgeous the sparkles are!  I vote for the strapless one for sure!

    I like the one on the right the best... I like that it has a train.. it seems more flowy/romantic.  I like the other one too, though.

    I'd choose the one on the right because it is so much more flattering. It looks light and airy but still elegant. Perfect for the beach!

    FL Beach bride here!

    I love the ruffles on the left dress, but prefer the way the skirt hangs & the train on the right dress. The train won't be a problem on the beach, the chiffon is so light & flowy it'll look beautiful blowing in the breeze Smile

    Where are you getting married?

    The one on the right looks more like a wedding dress. BUT I love them both. I agree with Rachgirl that it will look very nice in the breeze. I bet you will get great pictures in that one.

    I like the first one, on the left.  I agree with pps, though, you could add your own bling with a brooch at the waist on the side.  I just love the skirt on it!

    The strapless one does wonderful things for your figure and has an ethereal look that would be divine on the beach :)

    Upon first glance, I liked the one on the left. Since then I've read an article and came back and looked at the dresses again and my vote is for the one on the right. It looks more like a wedding dress and has the flowly, romantic feeling a wedding dress should have. The dress on the left reminds me of a homecoming dress for some reason.

    I think the halter dress looks very soft and romantic and you can add sparkle with accessories! It looks more beachy than the strapless gown, but they are both beautiful on you!
