Love the belt, bling, and corset on the Alfred Angelo, but the Remi ruffles are so va va voom! Votes are appreciated!!! Or if you have any suggestions on how to bling up the Remi. Thanks!!! Oh also I would remove the one strap on the remi and make it sweetheart.
I like the second one. The first one has too much going on and overwhelms your figure a bit.
I LOVE the remi. It has so much body and personality to it. I love the buttons down the back and the ruching. I think the ruffles/texture look really well made with the dress. I don't personally feel like the AA dress does much to make you stand out, although you are beautiful in both. Obviously it is what makes you feel best but I think you glow in the remi!
thanks so much for your input ladies!! this is gonna be tough!
I actually LOVE the first one! It would be perfect if you removed the strap (the way you did in the picture) and added the blingy belt from the second one. It just looks amazing on you! Your face is lighted up in both but it seems more so in that first one.
I adore the second one with the belt - it looks great on you! The first one is just too much skirt for my taste, but you definitely could rock either one.
LOVE the SP, AA does nothing for me. In the first picture of the AA dress, it looks like the ruffles start at a really weird spot and cut you off..To me it’s just a little awkward. With the SP dress, you look elongated because I can see more of your torso before the ruffles start. BUT…I do like the SP dress better with the one shoulder strap. Because the ruffles start higher on one side and lower on the other, having the strap on the side of the dress with the lower ruffles balances our the asymmetry and makes it look more proportional.
I think they both look great on you. The first one almost seems like a black-tie wedding kind of dress and the second is more casual or put another way, high fashion versus feminine. Since my taste runs toward the latter, I really prefer the second dress on you.
Love the first one! I don't think you need to add any bling, but if you're set on it, you could add a thin sash, so it's not competing with the ruffles but it would add some sparkle. It really looks fantastic on you. To me, that one wowed me way more than the second one.
Thank you all so much for such positive feedback!! Never had so much attention in my life!! The poll is split down the middle. Everyone makes goodpoints and that's why it's hard to decide which one! I will post my pickdone I decide. Thanks!!
#1! It has something extra special! You look beautiful and radiant in it!
I like the san patrick without the strap. The vavavoom factor outweighs the the other dress to me!
I prefer the second one. It's more elegant and lets the focus stay on YOU... the other one I was only seeing dress.
I like the first one, more fun and modern. The second one is pretty too. Just a little more simple.
I vote for the 2nd dress, it looks amazing on you! I might like the first one better without the strap - I feel like with all that's going on on the bottom, the strap makes the dress look too heavy and overwhelms your small frame.
#2 is my dress! finally someone else has tried it on haha! i like the AA better, and not just because it's the same one i ordered. here's why...
- with the waist being diagonal on #1, it throws off the eye, especially in the back
- have you seen them both bustled? I feel like #1 bustle would be kind of big and bulky, while the AA dress has a gorgeous bustle that really makes it look natural (due to the long ruffles in the skirt)
- buttons vs corset: corset wins. it gives you a gorgeous shape without alterations having to do much and without you having to watch your weight like a hawk
- the sparkle on AA just makes it pop
I'll leave it at that. You look gorgeous in both! I'm just partial to the AA dress on you :)
you look gorgeous in both of them but i slightly prefer the first one, turned into a sweetheart (maybe becaue it looks a lot like my dress!). if you want to bling it up a little you could always add a sparkle sash/belt to it similar to the one on the AA-- i think that would look great!
The San Patrick. Not everyone can pull that off... and you do - awesomely - so I say rock it.
The AA is very pretty, but more "standard".
The first one looks amazing on you without the shoulder stra and a bling belt is my vote!
@shadyshyd: i actually tried the first one before, out of the options given im more partial to the remi, its a beautiful dress.
@mandypop: :) thank you so much!! everyone is so sweet to say such nice things! makes me blush!!
i found a store on etsy that sells the blingy belts and she photoshopped one of her belts onto the dress. thinking it might be competing too much with the ruffles though. still pretty sure i'm going with the SP.

San Patrick all the way!! Absolutely beautiful, love love love the bottom and the angle of the top! Amazing amazing dress and you look fantastic in it!!! The belt looks like it might be competing a little bit, maybe add some "bling" with some great earrings?
I just found out this was not the Remi, it is the Capricho. The girl gave me the wrong name at the store. Still love it!! I saw someone selling it for $1000 used, but I'm scared I could get it and there are stains or tears that weren't disclosed. Has anyone ever bought a second hand gown online?
Like you said, va va voom !! I love the first one :) and I also think I would go with a thinner bling belt if you really want one so it doesnt look like too much with the ruffles!
I voted on the Remi but, it was before I read you want to remove the strap - I think it looks so much better with the one strap and it really helps balance the ruffles and the way the corset comes down at an angle. Just my opinion :)
I love the Remi! I don't think it needs any bling. You could always add bling with your jewelry. But, if you really want bling on your dress, maybe a jeweled sweetheart neckline something like this would work.
i prefer the second one on you but dont know about the belt thing. It kinda distracts from how gorgeous the rest is.
In any case it all depends on what type of wedding you're having. The first is more of a relaxed dance feel even tropical, whereas the second is more classy and elegant.
I love the first on you!! it gives you a gorgeous figure! not that the second one doesn't look lovely on you.... but... and excuse me if this sounds odd... but I look at you in the first dress and the word that comes to mind is "bang!!" you just looking rocking, and you have this proud look on your face that says to me, I look f-ing awesome, and I know it. The second dress is gorgeous, but is more "aww you look lovely" than "Wow! You... look......... WOW!" y'know?!
Also - I don't think you need the belt if you have the first dress, and definately have the sweethear neckline, no strap :)
I much prefer the AA. The Remi really drags my eyes downwards and I find myself looking at the skirt, not you.
The AA is beautiful and makes me notice the gorgeous bride!
@Sparkidoodle: you are my favorite person in the world right now. 
:) thanks for the compliments and you described my whole experience to a T!! i am getting the san patrick and not doing a belt, but i am going to get this bling necklace up top.....and see the shoes below....
Wow that is a stellar necklace!
And one more vote for #1, I think the fluffy ruffled skirt make the 2nd dress' skirt look flat and rather sad in comparison.
I vote for the Rivani, making it strapless like the second picture, and adding a sparkly belt! I like the ruffles much better on the rivani, but a belt/sash would make it perfect!
@shadyshyd: I'm so pleased!!! And I love the shoes and necklace. Just gorgeous!! You will look utterly stunning :)
