Weddingbee boards

I am already way, way too indecisive but at this point, I am 98% sure I want a short dress at this point, but am having a hard time figuring out which one.  I want something that's a little more bridal than just a cocktail dress (don't want to accidentally be less dressed up than my guests!) but am not into anything super pouffy.   The black sashes on some of them were just tied on at the salon, so don't let my weird thing for black sashes sway your decision on which dress you like best on me.

Please let me know what you think!  Our wedding will be outdoors in California in September, fun, unfussy and semi-formal.  Thanks in advance, and thanks to everyone who has replied to my 800 or so previous omg wedding dress panic posts.  <333

Dress 1- Martina Liana lace - it can be ordered wit and without the sparkles.  not sure which I would do.

Dress 2- Priscilla of Boston Halter

and from the back

dress 3 - Priscilla of Boston lace pencil skirt

from the back (with a sash this time)

Dress 4 - Priscilla of Boston strapless.  This one was a weird length on me and had a tulle detail at the bottom, so it looks a little weird in the pictures from hiking the skirt up and hiding the tulle underneath.  There would be no tulle sticking out randomly if it were really my dress.

I love #2 on you! 

Thank you guys so much for the input!

@tksjewelry: OMG thank you. :DD

@Usuki:  I had that exact issue with the pencil skirt!  It's a business suit type of skirt cut... my fiance really liked it because there's no pouf, but I get an office vibe, too.  You should have seen it before we folded the skirt up above the knee - it hit at a weird length and looked even more businessy.

There's one more thing I didn't put in the initial post, because I really wanted to get some feedback on the dresses themselves first.  Dress #2 was the clear favorite in the store.  My friends LOVED it and I was a little torn between 2 and 4 - I loved 2 in the store, but felt like maybe 4 was getting short shrift because it didn't fit as well.  Last night I showed the pictures to my fiance who I generally trust more than myself on fashion stuff and...

He HATES #2.  Thought the pleated top of the skirt looked like venetian blinds and thought it was awful and pouffy.  He doesn't really mind if I wear it... he showed me the sort of thing he likes and it tends towards way too simple and figure hugging, so he's fine and totally supportive of me picking something that he doesn't like, but I feel bad. (for the record, he likes the silhouette of 3 but hates the lace and thinks 4 is his favorite but a little full in the skirt)  I think part of it is paranoia because I don't generally trust my own fashion sense, though. Now I see why people don't show the grooms their dresses!  Though finding out he hates it the day of the wedding would probably be worse...

@jiggly:  Thanks.  I have oogled her website plenty but not seen any of her dresses in person.  They seem like they're a little too retro for me, and also the skirts are so full that I'd get a little swallowed.  Or maybe that is just me trying to avoid being tempted to spend the $$$ on them. ;)

@MaybeeBecca:  Yeah, I know!  It was so delfating when I found out he didn't like it.  I am tempted to get it anyway since he seems to be in the minority and I've gotten more of a sense of what he DOES like - short dresses that are basically sundresses or super basic long ones with slim skirts and no details whatsoever.

@sfchick:  I totally appreciate the comments, though I am flattered you think I'm really young looking - I'm 28 and will be 29 by the wedding.  I am definitely planning on wearing my hair down and try to remember to take it down for pictures but there was one lazy bun that snuck in. ;)  Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what to look for?  I am generally pretty fashion clueless so it's been hard for me to figure out exactly what I want.

I adore the halter on you!
