    Hi Ladies,

    Here are some pics of my dresses.  What do you think?  Please don't hesitate to voice out any opinions, good or bad! :)

    I'm think that the empire dress would be for my ceremony and the lace one (with sash) would be for the reception.  It can be bustled and is way lighter than the beaded dress.

    Thanks!!!

    Are you using the image uploader button?  It's the little green square button (with a circle plus in the right corner), on the top of the editor box where you type to leave your comments.  Usually works much better than the "Upload Files from your Computer" boxes.

    I LOVE the first one (empire waist) you look stunning :) The other one is very pretty as well I think it's a great idea to change into that one for the reception because the other one does look a little heavy and might be harder to dance and socialize in. Oh and I like your floors too :)

    I love the first one! It's very elegant. I think that can actually be worn for both the ceremony and reception.

    I love the second one and think it could be worn for both ceremony and reception. Its not that I dislike the first one...its that you have a great figure and I would say you should show it off! You have a tiny waist and I would emphasize that if I were you. personally, I think the empire waist/babydoll look makes EVERYONE look bigger than they are even when they are really tiny and I just don't think it's the most flattering. While you definitely carry it really well, I just think form fitting would look amazing on you!

    I think they are both stunning! Two totally different feels though.

    What kind of mixed opinions are you getting? Everyone here seems to love them, who's telling you otherwise?

    My bro in law and one of my BM's don't like the lace dress.  They said the color is too dark (it's almost champagne), and it's not too wedding-y. :)

    Thanks ladies.  I'm now considering wearing the first one up to the reception.  Maybe I'll change to the lace one when the dancing starts??? I can't bear not wearing the other one because I spent money on it already :)

    honestly.....

    omg I love the first one! amazing! so beautiful and you look great! but....to be very honest with you i do not like the back of the second dress; the front is ok but the back not so much.

    I think you should stick to the first one and the first one only. is returning the 2nd dress an option? if not, sell it and try to atleast get soem of your money back :D

    just want to reiterate how amazing you look in dress #1...what a perfect dress! love it

    You don't need an empire one because you are very well proportioned!!!!

    The first one's my fav... although I'm biased against anything that has ruffles so of course I'd have issues the back of the second dress. :)

    The material and beadery are very pretty on the first dress.  I'm sure you're going to look stunning walking down the isle in that!

    The empire waist is well defined on the second dress, which gives you curves in all the right places.  So that's a huge plus!

    Now, I'm confused as well! LOL! I guess the first one refers to the empire with beading and the second one is the lace with the sash :)

    Thanks for all your input ladies.  I love the back of the empire, but I love the ruffles on the lace dress.  Ahhhhhh, this is too confusing! LOL!

    I like 'em both-I can see why you'd want to change!  The 2nd is SO simple,and then you turn around & BLAM!  The first one is so flattering-the back of the top is beautiful!

    I love the second one and think you should wear it for both the ceremony and reception.  The first, while gorgeous, swallows up your petite frame.

    honest opinion? wear the lace one the whole time. The empire waist, as another poster stated, is unnecessary on your figure (and kind of takes away from how slender you are). The lace one shows you off beautifully though.

    Also, I'm not sure what the point of having a dress with such a rockin' train if you're just going to bustle it up the entire time you're wearing it! That train deserves to come down an aisle in all it's glory!

    BUT both of the dresses are pretty, and in the end, whatever decision you make will be okay. :)

    Love love love the lace one. The empire waist one just does nothing for you, and while it's "pretty" it's not stunning like the lace one!

    You look great in both dresses but I absolutely love the first dress! I love the beading on the top and the back is gorgeous. The back of the lace dress is just okay, although the dress does show off your great figure better than the first dress. I think you should wear the first dress at the ceremony and during the reception up until the dancing, then change into the other dress if you really want to wear both dresses.

    You look absolutely stunning in the first dress...I like the second dress, but think it would look awesome short...just above the knees.  I've been debating about getting a second dress for the reception to show off my shoes that I am in love with and want a shorter dress.  I think it would be more fun and easy to move in.

    I think that you look great in both!  I honestly love the first one but I'm really not a fan of the second at all.  It really comes down to your opinions though, not ours.  I'd say go with your gut!
