    I'm having trouble making a decision on which dress to wear.  They are both very different dresses, but they both have that romantic girly feel that I want.  The Romona Keveza seems more traditional and classic, but the San Patrick feels more fun and flirty.  Let me know what you guys think!

    Girl, i'm pretty sure everyone is swooning over how fabulous you look in BOTH dresses!  This becomes a game of preference: lace vs. ruffles!  I'm a ruffles girl, but both dresses are stunning on you.  I know this doesn't help, but go with your heart!

    You look beautiful in both, but I picked the Romona because it looks like it would be more comfortable.

    The first one is much better picture, so that's throwing me. I don't think we really can tell enough about the second one, but the first one is great.

    You look great in both - is your wedding more formal and traditional?  If so go with the first one.  But if your wedding is one big party and you want to set a fun mood go with the ruffles!!

    @TXNHBride  it is a church wedding ceremony and the reception is at a vineyard.  But do you think it's too plain?  I think that's what I'm afraid of.  @kaylee26 I only had a camera phone on me, but maybe this picture is a little better.  Which dress should I choose? :  wedding IMAG0110

    Definitely the Romona Keveza for me. That dress makes me swoon every time and you have the body to pull it off. The second dress is also very beautiful but I've seen similar dresses on dozens of brides already. Ruffles were the big thing of last year and every major brand had a dress similar to that one.

    The lace dress is so beautiful and flattering on you! I think it flows much better than the other

    WOW! you look amazing in both! but def feel ruffles with a sash looks best on you! they're both stunning so depends on what your going for: a touch of traditional with #1 or a bit of a pazzaz with #2! hehe :)

    I can see why you're struggling! Both are gorgeous, but quite different. I had the very same debate!! I chose the Alvina Valenta 9102 that looks VERY similar to your RK. I debated against a Pronovias dress that had the rouching (sp?) look that is so popular right now. It was SUPER flattering, but as Meliss pointed out it is a very common look and I feared that by the time the wedding rolled around, I'd be "over it" already. Hard to say. I love that San Patrick tho. Funny thing is that my very good friend who got engaged a few weeks ago just purchased the San Patrick dress and she's also making it strapless. Its a beautiful dress.  All that being said, I vote for the RK on you (but I may be bias). Looks gorgeous and oh so very couture and fabulous :) It makes your legs look like they go on forever. The SP kinda makes you look shorter......but its still very "fun."  Oh gosh.....I better stop. I'm of no help.

    The Romona Keveza. I know you're standing on a box but this one still makes you look taller and leaner. The San Patrick makes you look a whole lot shorter. Plus the RK is more classic and you won't look outdated 10 years from now.

    Defintely the first one - it's not even a competition in my mind of which one is better.

    I do think it comes down to preference, and I'm a sucker for lace...and that lace is GORGEOUS.

    I feel like ruffles are more "trendy" and lace is classic.

    go lace! it looks great on your figure - the second dress is beautiful as well but something about how its so tight at the knees bugs me.

    the lace is just classic and timeless - its beautiful.

    The second pic is much better thanks for posting. My vote goes with dress #2. You look amazing in both, but there is just something special about dress 2. :)

    My vote is for the second dress...it's flattering, and like you said "fun and flirty." I can see any guy (i.e. your groom) saying WOW at first glance.

    I say this as someone who is completely sick of the mermaid with ruffles look...

    But I like the second dress on you better than the lace. It has WOW factor I'm just not seeing with the first.

    Leave the belt off though.

    Thanks everyone..I have to make a decision today.. and I'm still so indecisive! I feel like the RK is too plain and and the San Patrick has more wow power, but at the same time I've always wanted lace and it looks more classic.  I think I'm going back and forth so much.  I don't know if this is normal to be this indecisive!

    I'm so curious to know what you end up deciding! I went through the same thing...it was soooo hard! Just know that you can't really go wrong. Both are gorgeous on you!  What is the overall style of your wedding??

    You can't go wrong with either.  I think the RK is timeless, elegant, classic.  The SP is much more trendy and will likely be the first to look "out of style" in your pics.  This one is just a personality call... which one you feel best in and which one you think your fiance would love to see you in.  Both are beautiful on you though!  Congrats... my vote's for RK!

    I voted Romona.  It is timless, and absolutely stunning!!  YOU LOOK AMAZING in both though, so I can see why this is so challenging!!!

    What style is the Romona, if you don't mind me asking?

    Could just be the angle, but the bodice on the San Patrick looks like it's completely taking over your body.  I'm also kind of over the ruffles and think the lace is GORGEOUS, especially for your venue.

    You really do look lovely in both though, so pick whichever is more comfortable!

    Hard choice you have a beautiful figure and could wear anything. I think they are both great choice. But I think the first once seems easier to move, walk, dance in.

    You are a very lucky bride- you could wear a table cloth and it would look good! I personally prefer the RK because it's so elegant and romantic.

    They are both beautiful dresses and look amazing on you! I was going to vote for the first dress until I scrolled down and saw the picture of the ruffled dress with the belt---LOVE IT!!!
