    Sorry pictures didn't post right. My colors are butter yellow, silver, green and white and I loved the idea of a black and gray dress with yellow flowers, but I just found the yellow Alexia on sale and now I am torn! Any opinions would be most helpful :)

    The black one, to me, looks like a camo pattern when I first looked at it, so my vote is the yellow one

    I prefer the black, but am partial to black dresses.  I LOVE the idea of the black dress with yellow flowers!

    I vote the yellow. The print on the black is a little odd/distracting for a BM dress.

    I am so in love with the black! The yellow one doesn't look all that cohesive to me; I find the midsection detail really distracting and it doesn't seem to fit the lovely pattern on the rest of the dress.

    They are both beautiful, but the yellow one catches the eye more.  It has such a nice balance of whimsy and chic.  And, your wedding is in May? I think the yellow is cuter for a spring wedding.

    The black one with yellow bouquets! It would really pop and look beautiful.

    I definitely prefer the black dress, but if your colors are yellow, silver, green and white

    Yellow - it's very fitting for a spring wedding.

    The belt on the yellow one is kind of odd to me, and the black would be a lot more flattering

    I think the black with yellow bouquets would be so beautiful.... I think I would prefer a solid black though... Just my taste.

    I like the yellow one too, but it wouldn't contrast as much as the black. And the belt doesn't work with it, I don't think. :)

    Both are great! I like the black one a little better but I would need to factor in time of day/setting to really give you a solid opinion

    Thanks everyone. Here is my dress. The wedding is going to be outdoors at a country club on the 18th green around 4:30pm I want the vibe to be pretty laid back, but elegant and different. I am not into the whole solid color bridesmaid dresses and wanted something the girls could wear again.

    I picked the black one because it seems like your bridesmaids might be more likely to wear that one again, and the petals at the bottom make it different and beautiful. :D

    The vote seems very close! I am thinking I am going to just stick with my original gut feeling and go with the black. The only problem is this design is being discontinued June of this year and my wedding isn't until May of next year!!! So I have to make up my mind ASAP. Or I could always keep the yellow one on the back burner if we can't get the black one.

    I thik the black dresses with yellow flowers surrounded by all that green grass while the sun is low on the horizon will be beautiful!

    I picked yellow because I don't like black for weddings. But if you have no problem with black (I'm guessing you don't or you wouldn't be considering it), the black dress is nicer.

    I love the yellow one because it is more Springy!
