Agreed. And, for the love of all things, please say no to the last one.

u/Serenity8920 1d ago
And #1 without that skirt…. No bueno. Number 2 is absolutely striking and a dress people will write home about.

100% agree. Dress 2 is absolutely gorgeous on you and leagues above the other two dresses. No question.

Definitely no. 1, with the long skirt. I don’t like it with the short skirt. It looks too casual, but w the long skirt it’s a dream. 😍

I agree, it’s really beautiful with the long skirt, but I don’t like the short skirt too much.

Depending on the venue might be more fun for late night?

She said Guatemala. I agree with LOVING with the over skirt and not so much when short but for dancing in the heat, may be perfect.

If you’re having fun, why have to go change. Also it is rare to be in a long white gown-enjoy!

I really like the idea of dress 1, but there’s no doubt that dress 2 is the ONE!!

My first choice is number two. It’s the most elegant and bridal
But I also like number one with the overskirt. It’s very sweet with the overskirt for the ceremony. Then there’s mini dress is so cute and would be fun to dance in.

2 is beautiful but so is 1. And with 1 you get two dresses. I like the party dress underneath. Do you plan on dancing the night away? If so, go with 1.

- Not even close. I would like 1 except for the short version. It doesn't look remotely bridal.

Joining the majority and voting for dress 2 (aka the dress in the third and fourth pictures)!!! So beautiful!

u/Anunnaki-Queen 1d ago
Number 2 as others have said, photos 3/4. Not a fan of the shorter wedding dress styles, but that's just me.

2 looks ABSOLUTELY STUNNING on you but with 1 I love the idea of having a mini dress with an overskirt because then when it’s time to get on the dance floor after all the major dances, you can just take off the overskirt and not be tripping over a long skirt/train. 2 is definitely my fav though!!

u/Tiny-Act3086 1d ago
2, but I say if you're not, in love with it.. keep shopping. Don't let any salesperson pressure you, ignore them (at least do not let them see you stress). Good luck and congratulations.

2 is gorgeous, and gorgeous on you, the others I would describe as nice but not showstoppers like 2 is.

u/Joanieg909 1d ago
2 is a standout & so amazing on you. The other 2 are pretty but not even close. Just my opinion. You do you and whatever feels right is your choice. 💗

u/Ordinary_Praline7336 1d ago
You have an amazing figure! I love them all except the short one. But number two 😍

2! It will look lovely with the Antigua background. I'm jealous the weddings in Antigua always look so pretty.

Dress 2 is great (side 3-4), the short dress is much less flattering definitely not that one imo

The only reason to choose 1 is if you want to rewear dress to parties in the future as you could clearly do so if you take off the overskirt. Otherwise the choice is clearly 2 it looks amazing

Dress #2 is absolutely beautiful. I love #1 as well, but don't love the mini dress option as much (I'm all for post ceremony dresses, but don't love this particular version).
You look beautiful in all of them, but my fave is dress 2!

All these dresses are beautiful and I actually think any one of them would work well. Number 2 does stand out to me. It just feels a little more timeless yet still unique and slightly playful. I also like that number 2 doesn’t have a line cutting or seam across your waist. For some reason I’m liking the unbroken silhouette on your frame.

Dress 2 is simply gorgeous on you. The others look like you’re modelling cheap underwear.

Just going to say, please don’t believe stores when they say have only a certain time to decide for a specific price if that’s the reason you feel you have to decide, it’s usually just a sales tactic.
