    The wedding is going to take place in colorado springs at a very nice resort called the broadmoor.  It will be a summer evening wedding on a terrace overlooking the lake.  The reception is in a formal ballroom.  This dress is just beautiful! Im not going to return it just wanted to get opinions on whether you think the beading is too much for an outdoor ceremony?

    The fact that it's an evening wedding and a formal ballroom seems to match up pretty well with your dress. Both are beautiful! I think it will fit just fine.

    I think the dress is a bit formal, but since its an evening wedding (and in a very nice location) I think its perfectly fine.  It's not like you're having a bbq!

    I don' think the dress is too much for the venue especially because your reception will be in a ballroom. It's really a gorgeous gown btw!! I love it:)

    I think it's perfect. Even though it's very beaded, it has a very outdoor friendly shape to it. Plus, the outdoor ceremony site doesn't look terribly "outdoors" - i.e. not among grass, bushes, etc., and I think your dress would fit in perfectly. Plus, it's just gorgeous!

    Such a pretty dress, I think it will work perfect with your venue (which is gorgeous too!).  My ceremony was outdoors overlooking the harbor and the reception was in a ballroom inside and my dress had a ton of beading on it, it was definitely a formal ballgown but it didnt look bad with the venue.  Get it! :)
