    Is the difference in the price worth something you can really want at your wedding? I think both dresses are stunning but if you want something like a photobooth or a candy buffet or some really exquisite jewelry, then I would say go with the steal.

    If you like the strapless aspect of the splurge, I'd check to see if they can remove the halter portion of the dress.  My friend is doing that on her dress and you can't even tell!

    I agree with @cloud...I actually like the steal better in this case, although both are gorgeous!

    Both dresses are stunning, so I think it comes down to what TPHoliday said, if you want something at your wedding and it's coming down to price then I'd go for the steal, if you really want to splurge on your dress than do that. Either way I don't think you can go wrong!

    Oh they are both gorgeous!  I agree that you could probably turn the halter into a strapless...depending on what you prefer!  I may like the steal better...I liek the somewhat fitted-ness (is that even a word!?!)...offers more of a shape.
