    Before seeing the 2nd dress on you I definitely was going to say the first dress but after seeing the 2nd dress I think it does much more for your figure. Definitely go with what you like best, but I like the 2nd one.

    Go with the second dress.  It's awesome and it's cheap!! The only way it could be better is if it did your dishes for you!  ;)

    I think go for the second one. If you hadn't told everyone it was a prom dress, I don't think a single person here would have guessed it was one.

    The second dress is very different, interesting, fresh, more vintage looking. The first is very classic and in the style of the day, but I noticed you are a photographer, and dont you guys tend to have an eye for the interesting? You aren't someone who is going to regret being different. Go for it!

    I prefer the first one, just because it looks more bridal to me but really, they're both very nice dresses, so go with what your heart tells you!

    At first I was going to say go with the first dress because I didn't like how the second looked on the model. However, after seeing it on you, I LOVE the second dress. You look great in it (better than the model!) and I think it really goes with how you decribed your wedding.

    I really like the second dress on you and I"m amazed that it's a prom dress for $150. I think if you can swing it, do like a previous poster suggested and get both! The first as a ceremony dress and the second as a reception dress.

    I really didn't like the look of the second dress in the pic with the model, but after seeing it on you it looks AMAZING!!  I say go for the second one, but both of them look great.  Good luck deciding!

    Ok, I'm posting again now that you updated with a picture of the second dress. 

     

    GO WITH IT! In my opinion, I think it looks even more bridal than the first one. I think it looks more classic, more vintage, and more romantic.  The first dress is really pretty of course, and obviously a bridal gown... however, it is full of modern and trendy fashion points that don't fit the theme you said you were going for. 

    Either one you pick will be great, you look amazing in both. My vote is definitely #2 :)

    I really didnt like the second dress on the model at all..and I was I thought it was an easy choice...but now that we get to see you in it I think you look amazing...if you are not sure could you be a two dress bride? I think the first dress would be good for the wedding part (since its slightly more bridal) and the second dress would be an amazing reception dress...if this doesnt work for you...then I think your heart is telling you to go for the second one!

    I think you should stay with the dress you've already starting paying for.  The prom dress is OK, but to me, it looks very "promy".  Something about that shiny fabric.

    I wasn't convinced by the dress on the model, but seeing it on you I definitely say go for the 2nd dress!!  Nobody will know it's a prom dress!  The first dress is pretty, so you can't go wrong with that, but the 2nd one really flatters you.  It's a softer, more romantic look.

    The shiny fabric of the prom dress doesn't photograph well, and the skirt looks thin. It looks "prom" to me. But if I were a guest at your wedding I would never think badly of either dress.

    Well, I voted for the first one but then I saw the picture of you in the 2nd one and LOVE it! They are both beautiful dresses and you will look beautiful in either of them!

    I have to say I'm voting for the 1st.  It does appear to be a tad more wedding-ey.  But both are really lovely!  You look great either way.

    Thank you all :). I picked... dress #2 (the vintage style one)!! I'm SO happy about my choice especially cause I got so many compliments from all of you bees :). I love this dress & realized I didn't like the 1st one so much as it wasn't "me".

    I think the 2nd is very romantic and pretty. The two styles are totally different. lol... I'm not loving the first gown.

     

    P.S. The 2nd looks NOTHING like a prom dress!!!

    At first I voted for the 1st dress but then I saw the pic of you in the second dress and though it looked great so I'm changing my vote to dress #2; it really fits you well
