    My dress comes with an optional shoulder strap that is made of flowers and jewels that match the dress...which looks best...with our without the shoulder strap??

     

    My opinion as of now is to wear the strap during the wedding and take it off during the reception.....

    I actually prefer the dress without the strap. I feel as if the strap takes away from the dress and your gorgeous figure!

    Wow, that dress is beautiful!!!!  I haven't seen a lot of dresses that I love, but yours is one of them!  I do love the strap, adds such originality.  I would probably go with your plan of wearing the strap during the ceremony and then removing it for the ceremony.

    I like it without the flowers.  It is such a beautiful dress with a lot of detail, I think the flowers take away a lil bit from that.

    Such a beautiful dress! I like it without the strap- to me, the strap is a little overwhelming.

    I like your idea of wearing the strap for the ceremony and removing it for the reception, I personally like it a little bit more without the strap.

    I like your plan now, it's fun to have a slightly different look from ceremony to reception and it's great that you can get that while wearing the same dress!

    You look gorgeous in that gown, by the way.

    wow love how I'm getting comments so fast!!  I love the strap too but when it's on, it does feel overwhelming...like I'm cluttered lol..if that makes any sense.  Plus I'm only 5 feet tall...it feels weird on but I think it looks ok on too...that's why I'm so undecided.  But I am appreciating all the comments!!  It will definitely help

    I don't know why, but I like the idea of the strap for the reception rather than the ceremony. I feel like the strap says "Alright, I'm here to party!" whereas the dress without the strap is so beautifully classic you know? Or I'm just crazy...

    I like it without the strap. I think there are a lot of flowers on the strap and it's a bit overwhelming. It's a gorgeous dress!

    My vote is for without the strap, I think the strap overwhelms and takes away from your pretty face.

    Without the strap full-time! The strap distracts from your pretty face! I think you have more of a WOW effect without it on!

    @ Glasses, I agree! The strap says more party and would fit more the reception vibe than the ceremony. Beautiful dress!

    You look great either way.  Why not wear the strap for the ceremony and then remove it at the reception?  That would be the best of both worlds.

    I like it without the strap the best.  You have such a pretty face and it just seems to me that the strap is distracting....

    i agree with KES and glasses! more classic without for the ceremony, more fun for the reception. plus a strap while you're dancing the night away can't hurt either!

    Well I obviously like them both (same dress) I am wearing my strap because I feel a little uncomfortable in strapless because I am very big busted! 34D.  But when I look at the pictures of me in it without the strap I love those too! It is a hard decision :) Good thing it just pins on so you can decided & change your mind about it! Either way it wil beautiful!

    I like it without the strap.  I think the flowers on the strap overwhelm your (very pretty) face, diminish the proportion/balance your shoulders create, and make you look a tad short-waisted.  Mathematically speaking, the one-strap visually throws off your body symmetry, and in so doing, itakes away from your lovely figure. 

    That being said, if you are smiling on your wedding day the way you are in your photos, it would not be possible for you to make a wrong choice!  You look beautiful!
