    Freaking out!!  I'm totally out of time and I keep flip flopping on whether to keep my dress as is (strapless, very very slight dip) or change it to a sweetheart.  I'm really going for the modern classic look for the wedding (oxymoron maybe?) so I really wanted a non-sweetheart neckline as I always found them too romantic.  BUT, I've come to find they can be very flattering.  I don't want to look toooo sexy on the day (I kinda surprised myself by picking a mermaid gown), but I don't want it to look unflattering either.  HELP!!!

    YES MAKE IT A SWEETHEART!!  the second photo looks a million times better than the first, it's amazing what such a small change can do to a dress!  you look fabulous with the sweetheart, and along with the style of the dress as a whole you are definitely staying modern but classic at the same time :)

    So everyone is obviously leaning towards the sweetheart.  I don't know why I'm still hesitating to do it!  I even think it looks more flattering...so why am I still wishy washy?   Sometimes I swear I am losing my mind with all the wedding stress!

    I say sweetheart! Where is your dress from?! It's simple, but really lovely.

    I saw sweetheart as well! I actually think that they are more modern and classy looking - and flattering too!

    I'm a huuuuge sweetheart neckline fan, however, your wedding is one month out & the dress is beautiful as is. I've seen some photos where women changed their necklines & it just didn't sit right... honestly, I wouldn't risk it being this close to your wedding!

    I'm not always a fan of the sweetheart, but I think this dress needs it!

    even though you may find the sweetheart too romantic, i think it makes the dress a little more special, and it doesn't make it look too sexy either :)

    I think the sweetheart gives just that little bit of shape and pizazz to the dress, definitely do it. :)

    I think a pinched sweetheart would go perfectly with your dress, it would accent the ruching. And it can be taken out! A pinch sweetheart literally just pinches a little bit of a dip and they sew those parts together. Its super easy and if you hate it they can take it off.

    @arenyth: Aww I disagree (respectfully).  I think the tacked sweethearts look kinda haphazard and thrown on.  However the bridal shop has it in the second picture is the way to go!

    I like the sweetheart, it adds a little interest to the top of the gown and its very flattering on you!
