    Our wedding is September 18th and we are having a vintage like wedding using olive green, gold and chocolate as our colors.

    I went to the bridal shop and tried on probably 20 dresses today. I narrowed it down to four and then after looking at the photos got it down to two!

     

     

    First is maggie Sottero Joanna

     

    Second is Mori Lee Style 4528

     

    The Maggie dress is beautiful and it fits me well, only problem is it only comes in White and Diamond white. I think they are both too bright for the look Im going for

     

    In the store the piosse I brought with me LOVED the Mori Lee Dress and so did I. In these photos it looks a little bland, but Im sure with professional photos it would look better. It is in a light gold which would go perfect with our color scheme.

     

    So what does everyone else think? Is the white too drastic or is the lace dress to bland?  Help! :)

    I think I prefer the first one - I definitely don't think the white is too drastic at all!

    My vote is for the Maggie...I'm partial to sweetheart necklines and glitz and I think it's flattering on you

    I guess  I'm just different than everyone else..I really like the 2nd one best. To me, it looks more like you. And I would want to get ivory or light gold if you're going for a vintage look.

    I like the mori lee dress, I think it is more in line with your theme... not necessarily having to do w/ the color, but just the overall feel of it is more "vintagey" than the other one.

    For the vintage look you're going for, the light gold is best.  I really like it.

    I like the lace dress better.  I think it looks great on you and also fits best with your theme and colors!

    The Mori Lee (I think?! The one with 226 in the file name!) is more flattering on you, I think. Not bland at all!

    I love the Maggie!  It has that little bit of sparkle, without being too much.  It also accentuates your waist better! :)

    i like the lace one better... you could glitz it up with a ribbon in one of your colors if you like.

    I like the Mori Lee.  It seems to fit your body shape better.

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I really think the Maggie looks better on  you. It gives you a nice curvy waist! I honestly LOVE the mori lee dress itself but I just think there are better dresses for your shape. The white on the Maggie is kind of bright, but the diamond white should help? I don't know. Hubby liked the the Maggie better as well. Anyway, take my opinions with a grain of salt though and do what you really want!

    I think the maggie is more flattering but I think it would look better in Ivory, is that an option?

    I'm a little confused on which is which also :)

    But I love the first one (226) its SO pretty, the lace really lays well & it fits you beautifully, yeah tiny wasit!! IMO the second one is a little boxy on you.

    I also voted for #226. I love the lace! And the ruching at the waist looks great.
