so i found this dress and i love it but i want it in a mermaid style,it is through a new etsy seller Loveinwedding .but its close to the other dress i want made.im thinking of getting one of each made and choose then sell the other.i do love the other i really want but i dont think anyone can make the first right.so here is the new dress and the other dress.i am short though 5’0 and around 115 pounds.goign to hear 3 1\2 inch heels that are glitter navy 🙂 and making my own necklace. also wondering if i should keep the first dress in that color or make it white.im having a rustic weedding and my colors are tan and navy with hot pink flowers.the girls are goign to be in navy dresses and guys in tan suits but if i wearing the dress in the first color i might make the guys in navy too.

Looking at those gowns, and the settings in which they are photographed, absolutely nothing would lead me to believe they would be considered for a “rustic” wedding.

I read one of your other posts with the db dress you tried on but didnt want to purchade because it was $900…. im going to assume buying both of these is going to run you about the same in terms of price, but you still risk getting something completely different than you were expecting. personally i would shell out the $900 and get the db dress, it looked great on you and you know exactly what your paying for.

cdpslh913059487: When I think rustic I think of a lace tiered wedding dress. I do like the color of the first one, though. I agree with the above poster – I think the ruffles might be a bit much and if your wedding is outside or in a barn setting I’m afraid you might end up with half a field in your dress. What is your venue? Is it outdoors?

dv3849: i didnt really like the top part i think i need to go try on dresses without no one there because i was weighting on thier opitons to much if they didnt like it then i didnt.so i need to go by myself and maybe try this one on again.our wedding budget is 4k though for everything with 75 guests so trying to make everythign as low as possiable.

Definitely don’t buy/order 2 dresses, with the intention of selling one. It might take a long time to sell and you might get a fraction of your original price back.
P.S. My cousin’s daughter is getting married at a day camp, with the reception in the barn. She’s wearing a short dress, although it has beading on it. I’m not too familiar with rustic weddings, otherwise.

Please keep in mind that those images are stolen from the real designers. Your dress most likely will not look like that exact dress. The first one you posted is a Sophia Tolli dress.

I love the colour of the first dress, but the style of either is also not my vision of “rustic”. Mind you, “rustic weddings” mean vastly different things to different people. Both of those are a lot of dress for an outdoor reception. Just because it’s tented, doesn’t mean it can’t be muddy…

cdpslh913059487: You definitely don’t seem to gravitate towards ‘rustic’, but that’s okay. I would only recommend ordering one dress though – pick one that you like and ideally that you’ve tried on.

cdpslh913059487: I agree with PP. Those gowns are both beautiful, but they say glamorous to me rather than rustic. In your follow up post, the first two look the most “rustic”; the others look more glam. Nothing wrong with that.

cdpslh913059487: I love the first lace dress of the ones you’ve tried on and the very last A-line one. I think both of those are prettier than the two you’ve listed in the first post.
