I had my third dress appointment today and am completely overwhelmed! I already feel like I am being bridezilla with what I want in a dress. I have looked completely through every dress on the knot look book (among many other sites) and cant seem to find a dress that has everything I like. I find a lot that come close so I need your help bees! Oh and I would like to stay under $2,000.
Here is what my dress needs to have
1. Mermaid/trumpet silhouette
2. lace/beading/ heavy detail in the top
3. sweetheart neckline
4. Poofy bottom with layers/frill/lace (I do not like the mermaid bottoms that are a straight line)
So here are a few that come close that I like, so show me pictures of your dresses or ones you’ve seen that you’ll think I will like.
absolutely LOVE the bottom of this and its train, but I dont know about the top
like the top of this one but not crazy about the bottom, too much frill
same with this love the bottom but not the top.
and I know what I am asking for with detail and beading would be an easy find for over my budget, but I refuse to look at anything I cant afford. I know there is a dress out there for me I just need to hunt it down! Thank you so much in advance for any help or insight. 
I really want to have that moment and know Ive found the perfect dress.

Not sure when your wedding is, but you may want to wait for the new Maggie Sottero collection to be released in November. This is one of the dresses that came to mind- Serencia. I’m not sure what the pricing will be but it seems like it would meet your wants. Here is is in blush but it will also come in ivory.

futuremrsJR: It’s not out yet. It’s from the Spring 2015 collection so it should be hitting stores next month. You can google it and see videos of it from the fashion show, but I haven’t seen any other details about it yet.

Just like you, I had Maggie Sottero Adalee in mind. As soon as I put her on I fell in love. here are a couple. You can add a sash to the top if u really aren’t crazy about it. I decided not to go with a belt because the dress is too gorgeous for me to do that. Also the sample dress wasn’t the best but the day I tried it on another girls Adalee came in brand new, and wow I was speechless. So here it is of me in it…
Also, I know you said you don’t like the mermaid straight down BUT Maggie’s Marianne was the other one I liked and the lace and beading on it was GORGEOUS. Ill post it just incase you change your mind!

futuremrsJR: yes you will. That’s how I was about marianne. I LOVED IT but didn’t cry or get “that feeling” but when I went to the next store and put on adalee. I cried like a baby and didn’t want to take it off.
