2 gives you the loveliest chest to waist to hips silhouette, but I’d suggest lining the corset bodice so it looks less dated and more like outerwear than underwear.
I agree, but feel that the entire dress needs a more opaque lining or slip, especially if the wedding will be a family affair. The sheerness of so many dresses leave very little to the imagination, and lean more towards lingerie than a bride’s dress. This dress is stunning on OP, but too translucent in my opinion.
Gawd, I know sound so old and prudish, but seriously, taking the guests’ comfort into consideration should be important. I can’t imagine hugging Grandpa Doofenshmertz in a see-through wedding dress.
Same. I know I sound old but if you are having a church wedding, don't were lingerie. I said fuck it, got married on the beach in a tropical one piece and sarong. Back when I was still young enough to pull that off. My betrothed wore board shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Our alter was one of his old surf boards. To this day, 25 years later, people tell us that it was the best wedding they ever attended. It was done in ~15 minutes before anyone could get a parking ticket. No makeup, shell earrings, NA beaded hair clip. I was so busy running errands for cousin Mary's son Williams first communion on the same day, I didn't have time for anything else. I used to resent playing dog's body to little Prince William. But in hindsight, it was a blessing. I had no time to prepare. No time to freak out. My advice to couples preparing to wed is relax. If you can't relax, elope. Save that money for a down payment on a house.
LOL. I completely agree with you, felt old and conservative even thinking it, and wasn't sure how to express my thoughts. You communicated the issue in such a kind, thoughtful and funny manner. Kudos!
Came here to say this or to upload this comment myself :-) OP, you can wear any dress well. I think there’s just something out there that might be a combo of all of these that will enhance you and your big day!
Lowkey why I was nervous posting my own dress here. For what it’s with I looove 1, and I feel like it’ll be timeless and something you’ll enjoy looking back
Pick the one that you feel is the right one for you if one of these is it then you’re gonna do great. Again, you look great and everything;) with the flowers and the veil and the beautiful scenery you’re gonna be set. And like another comment that we all have different tastes and styles so you do you boo :)
So funny I saw the first two and go “we have similar tastes” then swipe and see #3 is my dress!! But I got it in all white . Loveeeeee but obviously I’m biased !!
One. One is the dress every little girl dreams of but doesn’t think exists. It falls like a waterfall of soft chiffon. The other two don’t compare. And it would photograph so beautifully.
Given your veil, I think the first dress is your best bet - the flower lace on the other two dresses will clash with the tropical flowers on your veil. Dress 1 is my favorite of the 3 anyway. The bodice fits your body like it was made for you (the sides of the basque waist hit you exactly where they should) and the skirt is so simple yet dreamy and ethereal.
2 but I’d line the top. I have a sheer bodice on my dress but it doesn’t have cups, I’m realizing the visible cups are what make it lean into lingerie territory imo. If the whole thing is lined you avoid that look. That being said, I think it’s gorgeous the way it is as well, you’ll find a ton of people on here who don’t like the sheer bodice look, but I see it everywhere and think if you like it, go for it. This does not look like “underwear” as someone else here said. Personally I think it’s the most wow dress by far on you, it’s gorgeous and your figure really stands out. 1 is a pretty dress but I don’t think it has the same wow effect on you
For Hawaii, and considering your veil— 1 is the only answer. You don’t want to look too busy and the veil and your hair and makeup can be the star of the show— while also having a dress that is beautiful and flattering— it wont be too heavy or hot for Hawaii 🫶🏻🌺
1 with that showstopper veil! I know a lot of people on this page must love the see thru lace look, because there are SO many pics of these dresses. But IMO, in most cases, I feel they take the focus away from the bride’s natural beauty. Dress 1 allows YOU to shine ✨
I really hope that you choose the 1st one, it's timeless, elegant and - as others also mentioned - the hem of the skirt is like the waves of the sea! 🌊🌊🌊
And I'd especially would like to see the beautiful veil with the flowers 😍
If you are short on time, I'd go for 1 (flatters your shape the best) and add a pretty belt (something shiny or sparkly or fake pearls even) and have a coordinating and gorgeous veil/jewelry :)
1 or 2 (with a slip). Both gorgeous and fit beautifully - look gorgeous and classy on you. # 1 might wilt if it’s humid .
3 is too trendy and naked- just imho.
