I now have TWO dresses help me choose?. * MEGA flash*

kiiradee, 23 May, 2011 at 09:46 Posted on Planning 0 35

Hey everyone so im getting married in less then 6 months (10th november). and i picked a dress from china on ebay in february, i started worrying so before it was delivered i brought another dress which was also on ebay but was from a uk bridal shop and was a sample sale. The china dress arrived and it is beautiful. both will need petticoat and dry cleaning altering ect. But was wondering which dress you ladies prefer? i will show a flash of my shoes and veil so you can get a picture of it.. also hair and makeup flash.

UK DRESS SAMPLE SALE ITS TOO LONG & NEEDS A PETTICOAT.

CHINA DRESS

MAKE UP AND HAIR (NOT GREAT PIC SORRY)

VIEL

MY TABLE DECOR (THE BLACK TABLE SASH AND CHAIR SASHES WILL BE IN SATIN BUT THAT WAS ALL THEY HAD FOR MOCK UP).

OUR INVITE DESIGN.

OUR BALLOONS. YOU CANT SEE THEM IN THE PIC BUT THEY HAVE LOTS OF SPARKLING LIGHTS WRAPPED AROUND THE STEMS

MY SHOES. I DIDNT WANT TRADITIONAL SHOES AND I LOVE POLKA DOTS SO I LOVED THESE.

Somethings to note is that due to loosing 17 stone i need to wear the fur shrug pictured in the pics.. and it should be ok due to it being november wedding.

any ideas and tips on jewelerry and bridal bouquet VERY WELCOME. as i havent sorted these yet.

thanks ladies Smiley smile

    Overall I prefer the second dress. The bodice looks more flattering in that picture.

    Love your theme!

    Definitely the 2nd one, I think it looks more traditional and not too keen on the 1st one but it's really up to which one u like best and if u want more traditional or not.

    Thankyou i prefer the second too. and yes the body will look even better hopefully because im having a tummytuck in july to get rid of over half a stone of loose skin/fat thanks to the weightloss so im sure it will need altering but making it smaller is easier then making it bigger?.

    Much prefer the 2nd one. The first one doesn't look like a wedding dress but it could be that it needs a hoop and/or petticoat to fluff it out a bit. Maybe get hold of one somehow and try #1 on with it?

    I'm going against the grain here, but I much prefer the first dress and think that by the time it has a petticoat/hoop underneath to make the skirt look fuller it will look much more weddingy - I just love the bodice on it, it's a bit more unique and unusual and will look stunning on you.

    Loving all your flashes - black and white is my fave colour scheme for just about everything these days!

    Everything looks lovely. I also prefer the 2nd dress. What colour are your bridesmaid dresses?

    What kind of bouquet are you looking for did you want real flowers or silk?

    It's not a very big picture but i found this.


    ETA i actually do really like the lace top of the first dress so also think you need to try it on with a hoop to show us as i prefer the shape of the other dress.

    I love the top of the first one but the skirt of the second one but can see once you've got a hoop underneath the first one it;ll make the skirt come out more and make it sit better!

    I do think the first one has more of a wow factor!!!

    What colour flowers will you be having (if any)?

    Also......17 stone!! Wowsers.......well done you!!!!!!!

    I prefer the first dress, because its so different and love the top. The second is much more bridal. It depends what look you wanna go for!

    Love the theme by the way!

    17 stone?!! Bloody well done you - Thats well impressive!

    Deffo prefer the second dress - The bodice on the first isn't as flattering due to where it cuts off and meets the skirt. And the second is still bridal but different (trying to think of a better word than different, but can't - so hopefully you know what I mean ?

    I think the second one, I'm not sure of the bodice on the first but the second dress looks fab on you.

    And massive congratulations for losing 17 stone! That's an amazing achievement, well done you.

    I hope you have a wonderful day, your decor is very classy!

    I prefer the first one!!!

    It has a similar skirt to mine, and the hoop really makes a difference to those skirts!!!

    I don't like the top 1 at all. Doesn't do anything for you and doesn't go with the second jacket. However the second one is lovely.

    Oooh you're getting married on my birthday!

    I love the second dress, not so keen on the first one but I agree it might look different with hoop etc.

    Congrats on losing all that weight, I'd never have guessed if you hadn't said. You're gonna look totally amazing on the day and you're right, it's usually bloomin baltic on my birthday so you'll need to cover up!

    Number two for me. I'm not a fan of the "dress caught in knickers" look!! (just a personal opinion *ducks*)

    17 stone - wow! If you don't mind me being cheeky - what did you do to lose that and how long did it take?

    I really like the first dress love the bodice on it but the second is very nice 2 but if it was me I would go for the 1st it stands out to me.

    Well done on the weight loss I think I remember you from a previous post x

    Make up looks gorgeous BTW but you look very pretty anyway - Lucky you !!.

    17 STONE!!!! WOW!!!! That is seriously impressive. I'm moaning about trying to shift about 1 1/2 stone! You also look very pretty & I can see how your colour scheme will suit your colouring.

    For me it is definitely the second dress. I much prefer the skirt & I think the bodice is more flattering, especially when worn with the furry bolero.

    Congrats again on your awesome weight loss!!
