    Go with the one that YOU like, not what suits your venue or your mum likes. This is the most expensive dress you are ever going to buy and you are going to wear it all day and it will be in all your photos. You have to go with the one that you feel most comfortable in.

    Don't worry about matching it to the venue. You will be wearing it all day and in all the photos, you have to LOVE it and be comfortable in it.

    I love the 2nd dress though.

    I really like the 2nd dress because it's different and not traditional what people would normally expect. Never the less the first one is gorgeous x I would happily wear either one! x

    I really LOVE the first one. It's so pretty and the neckline is amazing. Not keen on the second one, but probably just because its something I wouldn't wear...

    I signed up to berketex brides News letter when we got engaged and they have a lot of 20% off weekends, so if you really want the 2nd one watch out for them!

    Both dresses are lovely, I personally would be more inclined to go for the first one (and I'm 25 too), the second one isn't really my style.

    Don't worry about choosing your Mums favourite or the one you think will look best with your venue, choose the one you love and the one will be happy wearing all day. You don't want to look back at your wedding pictures in 30 years time and regret not wearing the dress you loved!! x

    Both dresses are gorgeous, have you tried them on? It will depend on how you think you will look in them too.

    Is the venue Mottram Hall? It look very familiar

    Im no help because i like both dresses for different reasons!!!

    I would say go for what you really love. Which one feels like the dress you will be wearing on your wedding day, try and imagine yourself in it.

    I prefer the first one but that is just my own personal style. you will look much better in whichever one you love the most and are most comfortable in!

    Also I have never ever been to a wedding and based my opinion of the bride's dress on whether or not she matches the venue. It's never even entered my head! So don't worry about that.

    Well i measured myself and found hibs and boobs a size ten and waist a 14...lol

    Its better to go for a little bigger as it can be altered to go smaller, a little harder the other way around. My future MIL is a dress maker and made my sil wedding dress. But she cant do mine as i live so far away from her and we are getting married in a few months. So not much time. But she suggested i get the 14 and she will custome it to fit perfect. You can do the same.

    I also looked at the their Ebay shop. 100% positive feedback which is great. I have actually sent about 8 emails last night to people who bought a dress for their opinions on quality and sizes etc... I will probably send another eight this morning.

    I LOVE the second one, infact Is i didnt already have a dress i would pick that as its rather sexy, but thats just me.

    I do think the first is very classic and still beautiul in its own rights but to me the second has the wow factor..

    Coming to this a bit late!

    Both dresses are lovely, but my fave is the second one, it's really gorgeous and different.

    But as many others have said, this really needs to be your decision and yours only!

    Sorry if that's not much help...I just love that second dress! However the one Jules posted is also beautiful, has a mixture of both details and is a great price. Definitely worth looking into I'd say!

    Let us know how you get on!
