    Hello this is my very first post!

    I'm going to the bridal store this wkd with my family and hopefully decide on "the dress". I've gone dress shopping alone during the week on my days off and have narrowed it down into three contenders

     

    1. Casablanca 1914

    New Bee, need dress advice :  wedding 11194 Dress1.

    2. Allure 8601 (i may have it made into a sweetheart)

    New Bee, need dress advice :  wedding Allurebridals 8601

    3. Venus 5227 (will definitely remove the shoulder straps and make it into a sweetheart)

    New Bee, need dress advice :  wedding 5227small

     

    Sorry I do not have pictures of me in the dresses

    I'm 5'2", about 100lb

    will be getting married next summer at a historic country house /estate, it will be an outdoor garden wedding

     

    Thank you so much!!!

    #1 would be pretty in a garden, tho I'm not crazy about the bust area

    #2 (with sweetheart) would go with the historic house - I like this one best overall

    I can't tell anything about #3 with the straps (I'm not a big fan)

    Welcome! = ) I really like the first one! Simple...yet not. If that makes sense? It's be very pretty for an outdoor wedding.

    It's a little hard to say without seeing you in the dresses, but I like the first one the best. That seems to go the best with outdoor/country estate/garden wedding to me. Of course, I could just be biased because I love Casablanca!

    Welcome :)

    On the dresses, I love #2. Even if you don't make it into a sweetheart, it's still beautiful. #1 is my 2nd choice though ;)

    The reason there are millions of dresses is because we are all unique.  These 3 are all beautiful!  

    It's great that you have it narrowed down before showing the family.  I did something similar and it worked great because my Mom was able to see design flaws in the one dress that I didn't notice before. 

    Good luck with your shopping!

    I'm not the biggest fan of the last dress.

    I absolutely LOVE the first dress!!

    thanks everyone for their opinion! the 3rd dress actually looked really nice without the straps, but the picture doesn't do it justice....I can't make the decision on my own so hopefully my mom will cry when i come out with one of these dresses, lol

    I think for someone petite, the third dress would look great.  But dress number one is my favorite overall.
