    So I finally booked a venue and decided for a theme for my july 2010 wedding and have started looking for a wedding dress to match.  The theme will be an old hollywood glam with a modern twist.  The colors would be grey and white and there will be crystals dangling off the centerpieces and there may be unexpected pops of red throughout.  I was initially inspired by a french lace oscar de la renta dress but the dress is out of my price range and I needed to find something similar.  So here are some dresses i've narrowed down to and was hoping I can get some opinions.

    The 1st is the Blue by Enzoani Brighton dress which is really posh and sophisticated but I showed my fiancee the pic and he doesnt love the dress.  He likes the 2nd the paloma blanca 3966 a lot better but my bridesmaids and sister do not.  I love them both but cannot decide between the two.  So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!!

    Elena

    I love the first dress too. It's gorgeous and looks like it will float and swirl beautifully as you move. I'm also not a fan of pick-ups - I think they'll look really "2009" in photos afterwards. You have such a lovely figure and I think the Enzoani really shows it off.

    first one! your FI won't probably even know it's the same one. you know how guys are!

    i'll attach another that i think would suit your theme, the san patrick baghdad, which is really soft and pretty, too. i almost got it, myself.

    I love the second dress!  But I think the first one goes with your theme a lot better!

    You look amazing in both of them and they are very different looks. At first I was going to say I like the second one better, but that's just because it's more my style and I think the first is really special. But I do think that the second still goes with your theme, so either way you're good.

    They are both beautiful and both look amazing on you.  I think the first one goes with your theme more.

    The better question is which dress do you love the most?

    Hi everyone thanks for all your opinions!!  I also really love dress 1 and am beginning to think dress 2 is really cute but may be too garden party like and not classic enough of a dress.

    I also found a 3rd dress that is really beginning to grow on me.  I must admit it was not the style I was looking for initially but the shape and color of the dress is really nice and it looks really glamy.  Please let me know if this one bets dress 1.

    sleepylittlesailor - the san patrick baghdad dress is also really nice and got that deligate lace but unfortunately there isn't any bridal stores here that carry that brand.

    The 3rd one fits you beautifully, and the 1st one just looks stunning. I think the first one is more of a jaw-dropper. Who makes the 3rd one, by the way.

    The 3rd dress is made from one of the Pronovias companies... its called La Sposa Fanal and I really love the oyster color it comes in and think it would look really nice in pics.

    The 1st one. I'm not a fan of the bottom of the 2nd in general. :) Good luck!

    #1 for sure, and not because I am also partial to Enzoani dresses.  #3 is gorgeous, too.  #2 definitely the least favorite one.

    I love number 1 and 3 and would probably go for number 3 as it seems more like DFs style. I wouldn't get number 2.

    If you're doing an old Hollywood glam theme, I think the first one works better.  That being siad, the second dress is gorgeous on you.  If you want to fit the theme, go for number one.
