    Photos of me in the final 4!! Please HELP!! :  wedding Allurefloral

    Allure

     

    Greetings, bees!! It is me again, back with some pics. I did have to sneak the Allure and La Sposa, so the clips were already removed and I was just left to hold it up best I could in the fitting room. :( Either way, the samples were all too large and will fit much more snug and smoothly when the accurate size. To those who haven't been following my hunt, I am really looking for something ROMANTIC, FEMININE, FUN, FLIRTY, & VINTAGE MOD. We are having an evening, cocktail reception with LOTS of candlelight, soft, muted colors and floral clusters. The venue is similar to a modern log cabin with exposed beams, cement floors, stone/brick walls, windows from ceiling to floor, and a stone fireplace. Would so very much appreciate your help, ladies and/or gents!! I have no clue what looks best on myself...but do want to resemble that beautiful, blushing "bride". I am afraid some dresses don't look "wedding" enough. I love vintage, modern fashion, unique style, and plan to wear a bird cage or blusher.

    xoxo

    Me :)

    Martina Liana, sample is a size 14 and I should be in a 4, so might have something to do with lack of shape in photos?

    @boombacha: OKAY for me it's between dresses 1 and 2, depending on what kind of wedding you're having!

    You look great in every dress you put on!  I love the first picture, I've only seen that dress one other time... still waiting for all the pics.

    I don't know the names of each dress but I love the first one the most but also really like the last one. I dislike the third one mainly due to the crumb catcher and the second one just doesn't do as much for you. I pick the first one but I don't know it's name.

    BTW: Love your style!

    since i don't know which are which except the allure, i'll just give you numbers. #1 or #4. #1 because it is romantic and beautiful. #4 because it gives you a great shape that you don't get in 2,3. Good luck! (I'd add numbers to your poll).

    Its hard to know which one is which seen as they are not in the right order!

    However, my vote goes to the allure - it makes you look so romantic and pretty!

    I really like the first and second ones.  Not loving the 3rd and 4th ones.  They're ok, but I think I like the first one best!

    Girl, you look gorgeous in every dress you put on! I think it depends on what look you are going for.

    #1 modern and sweet.

    #2 vintage

    #3 slim, sleek, and modern (but I think the dress hides your curves in your hips)

    #4 sexy and glamorous.

     

    My vote is #2.

    While allure is beautiful, I think it hides your amazing figure. Just my opinion.

    I think you look most comfortable and beautiful in the Essense dress. I like the Allure too but you look kind of uncomfortable, maybe its just the picture though. The only one I don't really like is the Martina Liana, it takes away any shape you have.

    I would go with either the 1st or the 4th... the 3rd dress doesnt go much for your shape and you have an awesome figure!

    I love the Allure but the la Sposa isn't bad either. The only one I didn't like on you was the martina liana. It doesn't look like you have any curves in that dress. (It is the dress not you ;)

    All of those dresses look great on you, so really, you can't make a bad choice and it just comes down to personal preference.   Personally, I love the shape of number 4 on you but am not a huge fan of the flower in the middle of the chest.  Without that though, I think it's a gorgeous dress.  

    I agree with PP that number 3 hides your fantastic figure.  #2 is a pretty dress but doesn't seem to have the same wow factor that the others have.  And the Allure is pretty but I just prefer the style of the La Sposa on your figure.

    Regardless of which one you pick, you can't go wrong!

    Dress 1 and 2 are so pretty. The other 2 are also pretty, but number 3 takes away your curves. Dress 4 is gorgeous but look like it might be hard to dance or even sit in.

    @sweetbajan: Aww..aren't you the best! Ha. Truth be told, I have ZERO figure, but I would like to "fake it" for a day. So, any added boning/shape to the dress does help bunches! Thanks, again. You are so sweet. I really want to try and avoid looking overly skinny and I actually have smaller hip measurements than bust measurements, so I am trying not to make that overly obvious. :(

    Allure!! To me, that's the one dress that is fun, flirty, romantic, and feminine...and I think it's vintage in a kind of 50s way. It looks great on you!!

    @boombacha: I voted Allure, but hearing that you desire vintage, I think #2 is best suited for the wedding style you're looking for!

    @boombacha: many people would kill for your figure! you pretty much look great in all 4 dresses. From the responses given I think you can figure out which 1s stand out more.

    @tarheelgrad98: I agree with the vintage feel to the Allure, as well! I thought I was alone in that line of thinking, but they have a similarly shaped tea length that is very vintage/pin-upesque and I love the flowers because they add that romantic quality. The tea length was not traditional enough for me, I suppose. It didn't feel as much wedding, as it did prom. ;)

    @Ree723: I also would opt out of the flower in the center, as I believe it can be removed. :)

    @pengoala: Thank you! This is all a little awkward for me, since I don't think any style actually compliments my body. I appreciate all of the kind words, though, and it does make me feel better about how I will look on the big day.
