    Girl, you need to STOP TRYING ON DRESSES!! Seriously. You look fantastic in everything you try on, so I imagine the choice is extremely tough, but you’re making this a million times more difficult by trying on dress after dress after dress. Take some time to really look at the dresses you’ve tried and narrow it down YOURSELF. Go with your gut feeling. You also need to stop asking other peoples opinions!! It doesn’t matter what dress anyone else likes best. It only matters what YOU love!

    I love the first 3, I’m torn between 2 & 3 as my favourite.

    PaisleyMedic:  Hi thanks, these pictures are from my final trip to a bridal shop. I did narrow it down to the dresses in this post. The consultant and I looked through every dress in the shop and stock room and I tried on anything that I liked and was a bit different. It’s pretty much down to 2 for me but I like to make posts on the Bee and see what others have to say (as I’m sure ya’ll know lol). I’m not going back to the shop unless it’s to put my dress deposit down

    Oh, honey.

    It’s great you went dress shopping by yourself. That’s a huge step. But this poll is exactly the OPPOSITE of what you were supposed to do! Make a decision yourself! Stop relying on your support network / strangers’ opinions.

    Which one did you feel best in?

    Awesome dresses!! I love them all actually but they are all so different!  It’s hard to narrow it when you look good in all of them.  Which styles do you think you like the most?  What season is your wedding in?  Do you have a theme or anything like that in mind?

    novemberreign:  It was between 1 and 3 for me in the shop. Dress 1 was a size too small and the wrong color so it was hard to get the total effect. And I love 3 but I worry if it’s too much like a slip and not enough bridal

    reee:  I tried to narrow the silhouette gown to more fitted shapes, nothing too poofy princess. It’s a September wedding at a botanical garden so the theme is more casual and whimsical

    PinkPearls:  I think, stylistically, you’re going back to where you started on this journey. You want a sexy wedding dress, you should just own that. Dress #1 looks great. Book it. Book it now. Book it and stop shopping!

    If you really want opinions I think you should delete this post and use only your top two dresses.  I agree with PP’s that you look great in everything!!! You just need to go with your gut.  There can always be a better dress out there so you just need to think back and pick the one that you feel best in and love (and cannot stop thinking about it)  You dont need to cry or get over emotional.  Just feel the best in that dress.  If you feel great, everyone will think you will look beautiful on the day because it will come across on your face!

    Beaded thin straps. It’s the most flattering and is very vintage glam.
