    Hey ladies - I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. Opinions are much appreciated! Keep in mind if I do the strapless, flowy one, I'll probably add slight cap sleeves because i like having something on my shoulders. Thanks so much in advance for your help :)

    I feel like anyone could wear the flowy one but you are lucky to look so good in the second one that you kind of have to get it. lol

    Love,love,love the first one!you are absolutely beautiful in it and cap sleeves (lacy ones?) would look very cute too if you feel more comfortable with it!

    I love the flowy one on you! I disagree with iloveflowers--I don't think just anyone could pull that off!

    @e708: You look absolutely stunning in both dresses, but I am in love with the flowy one! I think it will look even better with the sleeves added, too! You look like a beautiful bride in the flowy one! I hope this helps in your decision making process! Best wishes with whichever you choose!

    The flowy one looks spectacular on you!  I love the bodice!!! =) I'm not crazy about the shoulder strap in #2, but thats just my opinion...

    I really like the flowy one but i am in love with lace. Just think about how beautiful the first one would look while you are dancing at your reception! I would try something that has both lace and the flowy material. They are such different styles that I would keep looking for something in between.

    I LOVE the flowy dress.

    They both look good on you but the flowy one actually does more for your gorgeous shape than the mermaid.

    The mermaid almost makes you look more straight up and down whereas the flowy one really defines your waist and just looks stunning.

    The first one! I don't really like the second one. It does look great on you, it's just not my favourite.

    You have such a nice figured, I'd normally say show it off in the trumpet gown, however, the flowy gown you picked looks wayyyy better than the second!

    I almost always vote for lace dresses, and I think you look great in both, but I like the first one on you infinitely more.  You look like you should be modeling for a bride magazine in it.  You look beautiful.

    Theyre both very different styles, is your wedding formal or casual?

    The flowy one is gorgeous!!!  I'm not a fan of the one-shoulder.

    First one!  First one!!  That flowy one looks like it was made for your body! 

    Honestly, I dont think the second one is nearly as flattering.  The bands are sort of distracting and take away from the appearance of your tiny waist.

    @cbee: I wish I knew who made it! The shop I was at removes all of the tags so you can't see who the designers are - very annoying! If I end up getting the dress, I'll make sure to find out! :)

    @alaiyo: The wedding will be pretty casual overall, which makes me lean towards the flowy one!

    All - thanks a mill for all your input! You're all so sweet and helpful...can't thank you enough! I've gotten a good reception from friends and fam for the flowy one. And people either seem to love or hate the one-shoulder. I can totally see where someone might not like the one-shoulder look and asymmetrical bands...but for some reason I was really attracted to it! Decision, decisions...you've all given me a lot to think about as I head to bed. G'night!

    Definitely the first one, hands down. No question at all from me. But I can understand the dilemma.

    They are both gorgeous, but the strapless dress is just stunning on you.

    My vote is for number one!

    Wow, they are so different but both look great on you. I voted for the first one because it just seemed more striking - it definitely grabbed my attention and looks a little more "bridal" to me.
