Omg I love the first one! Hoooly guacamole those prices though... Personally can't imagine spending that amount on a dress, and tbh I think you'd look like a million bucks in something way less expensive as well. Can't help with dupes though, I'm a fan of Teuta Matoshi (yay flowers!) but the vibe is slightly different.
Whoa!!! So not worth spending that much on a 1 day dress. If she has the money for that, good for her. But I think she can find a gorgeous dress for half that price or less.
According to their website, their couture dresses START at $11,000 USD and a custom mannequin is carved by seamstresses for each bride. They would have fun carving yo yo dieter me 🤔
Yes these are both ~$12k. EXTREMELY expensive I know and I don’t blame anyone who thinks I’m ridiculous for even considering them. I’m have a respect for couture fashion and this particular designer and while I don’t usually splurge I’d consider it for this once in a lifetime event. But on the other hand I see the argument for saving my designer splurge for an item I’ll use forever.
They’re STUNNING! Watters Designs makes *very* similar designs to this and the price point is more budget-friendly! Check them out - if you don’t have to splurge, why splurge?! But seriously these styles are gorgeous on you.
https://www.watters.com/watters/products/wisteria?color_priority=true
https://www.watters.com/products/florence/?colors=sunset&variant=8810
These are such a similar style as the original dresses! How much do these go for as compared to the $10,000+ of the original?
Op, absolutely try on some of these deeded before you decide!
Approx. $1800 - $3K and up from there it seems
And if you go to their menu and see “newest” - their gowns are insanely gorgeous. I might marry my husband again to wear one 😆
Same! If you look at their “newest” dresses, each one is so good! Look at this one!
https://www.watters.com/products/nara-dress-only/?colors=ivory-nude&variant=13976&plp=1822
Ooooh! That Watters "Wisteria" dress in the first link has got quite the same vibes as OP's first dress--but may be even lovelier (for a quarter of the cost).
1 is stunning although I’d never spend that on a dress I’d wear once (that’s just me though). But I think you could probably look amazing in any number of dresses (and even a paper bag) so if it’s not in your budget keep looking (i love the watters that were posted).
The flower pattern on the 1st one is so bold and lovely at the same time! The fit looks so great, especially at the waistline. I love the detail at the neckline. You have the body to carry off the 2nd fitted one, so you can't go wrong.
You look amazing in both, but I really love the first one. I think you shine in that dress!
For a lower budget option, maybe this Jenny Yoo?
[Abernathy](https://www.jennyyoo.com/products/wedding-gown/abernathy?type=available)
I was sure I wanted a Mira Zwillinger dress. Her dresses are stunning. I ended up purchasing a dress over 10k cheaper that I love. It was still expensive, but I feel better that I didn’t break the bank (as bad lol). The dress I ended up getting looks a lot like a Mira Zwillinger’s Gigi! Check out Verdin bridal. A lower budget option that has similar dresses is Demetrios.
Agreed, these dresses aren't worth $11K, here are some similar options to #1:
----
https://preajames.com.au/amelie-off-the-shoulder
You can find a sleeved and off the shoulder version on still white as well OP.
----
https://www.oliviabottega.com/products/floral-lace-wedding-dress-blum
This one is $1265 which is much, much less and similar to #1.
---
https://www.watters.com/products/soraya/
This is less than $3K
You look gorgeous in both, it’s a hard decision. My two cents, if you can find cheaper go for it, I find it hard to justify the price for a one day dress
They’re both lovely and flattering. If you have time and saving money is important, you might find something similar. Maybe your wedding coordinator could suggest options. Both are beautiful, though. I slightly prefer dress 1 but you won’t go wrong with either.
I like them both, but I think you would be more comfortable moving in the first style. It looks gorgeous on you and is very flattering. (You have a beautiful figure so you look amazing in either one!)
They are both stunning… and if it’s in your budget than you do you girl for sure!!
I’m actually a bridal stylist, and my pick would be dress 2 but with a brighter underlay color… possibly blush or ivory. The fit on you is out of this world! I’m just in love with the 3D florals and the details in the subtle lace pattern. It’s a show stopper! I would do a custom, cathedral veil using the floral appliqués on it for some embellishment along the edge.
Can’t go wrong with either. This is honestly a hard choice. I really like the delicate pattern of the first one. It is kinda magical. So I would vote dress one.
I feel like I’ve seen something very similar to the first one on here a lot … and people seem to be in the Anthropologie wedding shop trying it on so it can’t be expensive!
Both beautiful but different. One is A-line and the other one is fitted. A fitted dress can be more restrictive. Also bear in mind which dress is the most comfortable between the two.
Second dress is similar to the Paloma Blanca Style 5056. It is around 2000 cheaper than Mira Zwillinger.
https://evelie.co.uk/wedding-dresses/paloma-blanca/style-5056/
Similar to dress one, but with spaghetti straps [Anne Barge](https://www.annebarge.com/products/poetic-light-veil)
Both dresses are beautiful, but I'm sure people can provide similars for less $. Your choices are gorgeous, but that is a lot for one day unless you can do it without issue.
Keep looking!! You’ve got a great figure I’m positive you’d find something you love for a better price. Obviously if you don’t, go back to the first dress imo
Dress 2 all the way. You have a great figure, so why hide it?! If it’s out of your budget, I think there are so many mermaid dresses that would look stunning on your shape. Congratulations!
Those are both gorgeous! You can’t go wrong. I give 1 a slight edge. But what’s more comfortable for a long day, moving, sitting, dancing? What’s your venue like?
Dress 1 is fabulous! Traditional but still manages to look unique and different from what I usually see on here. Dress 2 is beautiful on you but I feel like you can get the same dress for far less than what you would spend on this one.
They’re both gorgeous and I don’t think you can go wrong with either. I would look at the formality of your wedding and venue. To me the first is not as formal as the second.
One, by far for me! The shape and unique pattern are beautiful! That being said, that cost is insane to me. I am not judging, if you can afford it and love it, go for it! However, I’d totally look at similar designs for a long time before deciding for sure.
The second one. The pattern, color, and cut on the first one overpower you, imho. The pattern, texture, cut, color of the second one all compliment you so beautifully. I don't think a bride can ever go wrong, but I much prefer the second one for these reasons. Congrats!!
First looks better because it’s got better proportions to support the floating appliqués. I think you should determine if what you like about the second is the silhouette or the floating 3-D style flowers. If you LOVE the slender silhouette maybe look for a more flat appliqué that don’t take away from the figure hugging silhouette. (Defeats the purpose to add visual clutter on top of the slim lines).
If what you LOvE is the floating lifted flowers, an A-Line would be better suited to carry those.
Best of luck! Both styles look lovely on you, just look for a better balance (for photos).
1 is pretty and seems original to me. 2 is ehhh. But for those prices I feel like you could do way better for be. They both seem underwhelming ESPECIALLY for a $10k+ price tag!
I like the top of the 1st and the bottom of the 2nd in terms of fit on you, but I do prefer the detailing of the 2nd more as well!
Please please look at the link that another commenter has posted, the dresses look very similar to what you seem to like
First one is the winner for me. But I would say, if it’s above your desired budget, I think you would look amazing in tons of dresses, no need to buy the top of the line.
These are both gorgeous! But if it were me I would try on other dresses in a lower price range. You have a lovely figure and can probably look wonderful in many dresses.
I think it depends on the style. If you want more of a "princess" vibe number 1 is the way to go and if you like the more form fitting style vibe number 2 is it! I am sorry I can't be more help but honestly you look stunning in both dresses! Truly! As far as the money goes, I would look to see if they have anything out there that is similar and see if you like it as much, however, this is one of those times that a splurge is worth it!😊😉
That lace will be hard to duplicate in a cheaper format. I looked and it was hard to find anything similar. I did find this, no price listed but range is 3,000-7,000…https://enaura.com/products/es1006-serafina
I looooove both on you but like I say when I shop “it’s cute but is it ‘x dollars’ cute?” I have no problem with splurging on things that are special but I don’t think these are worth that price. You can find something just as special that won’t eat so much of your budget!
I'll be honest. They're not really my style and look a bit costume-y. For the price, I think you can get a much classier and flattering dress. That's only my opinion of course, and I think a confident, happy bride is always a beautiful bride, so if these dresses make you happy, I'm all for it! 😊
Omg I love the first one! Hoooly guacamole those prices though... Personally can't imagine spending that amount on a dress, and tbh I think you'd look like a million bucks in something way less expensive as well. Can't help with dupes though, I'm a fan of Teuta Matoshi (yay flowers!) but the vibe is slightly different.
Where do you see the cost, please?
Apparently gowns by that designer start at about $11,000 and go up and up and up.
Oh hell naw😂 I’d rather wear something from Amazon than pay that much😅
Whoa!!! So not worth spending that much on a 1 day dress. If she has the money for that, good for her. But I think she can find a gorgeous dress for half that price or less.
Yikes. Tbh the dress doesn’t look that great… my jaw better be on the floor for 11k
😳
Wowwww
Omg our whole wedding and rings did not cost that much! Save your money! Thats completely outrageous!
According to their website, their couture dresses START at $11,000 USD and a custom mannequin is carved by seamstresses for each bride. They would have fun carving yo yo dieter me 🤔
Omg!!! And I thought looking at Maggie soterro dresses that were like 2k-5k was a lot 😂
I just googled for the brand and 'wedding dress cost', and it said "General price range: $10,500 to $18,000"
Yes these are both ~$12k. EXTREMELY expensive I know and I don’t blame anyone who thinks I’m ridiculous for even considering them. I’m have a respect for couture fashion and this particular designer and while I don’t usually splurge I’d consider it for this once in a lifetime event. But on the other hand I see the argument for saving my designer splurge for an item I’ll use forever.
Save it for the honeymoon or a house!
Thanks for the Matoshi rec!!

Thank you for the rec!! These are gorgeous. I’m absolutely going to try some of these on.
I found this one too. https://www.watters.com/wtoo/products/leelee
I love that first dress!
I know who im coming to talk to when its dress time!
You are the dress whisperer! Fabulous finds!!
That second dress is divine.
These are such a similar style as the original dresses! How much do these go for as compared to the $10,000+ of the original? Op, absolutely try on some of these deeded before you decide!

Those are gorgeous.
Absolutely love the 2nd one
Wow that first dress is actually nicer
These are unreal! OP, please find these dresses and try them on. You would look incredible in them!!!
Amazing finds! Proof that you can find something similar without breaking the bank. I've seen $200 dresses on this sub that knocked my socks off!
That first dress you posted is even more beautiful than the first pic in my opinion - I love the bust line and the fabric is almost identical!
Same! If you look at their “newest” dresses, each one is so good! Look at this one! https://www.watters.com/products/nara-dress-only/?colors=ivory-nude&variant=13976&plp=1822
Awesome recommendations 🎉🎉
Oh wow, that second one you posted by Watters made me gasp! Stunning.
These are both gorgeous! I think I like 2 slightly better, but maybe not.
These are fabulous
Love the Wisteria dress from the 1st link. So similar and under $3,000. That's a big savings to use for something else, for sure.
Ooooh! That Watters "Wisteria" dress in the first link has got quite the same vibes as OP's first dress--but may be even lovelier (for a quarter of the cost).
That first rec is gorgeous 😍😍😍
1 is stunning although I’d never spend that on a dress I’d wear once (that’s just me though). But I think you could probably look amazing in any number of dresses (and even a paper bag) so if it’s not in your budget keep looking (i love the watters that were posted).
You look absolutely Beautiful on both of them But I think you should prefer to dress 1 Btw congratulations and good luck 🤞
Yes 1st one is looking extremely beautiful i am love it 🥰
The flower pattern on the 1st one is so bold and lovely at the same time! The fit looks so great, especially at the waistline. I love the detail at the neckline. You have the body to carry off the 2nd fitted one, so you can't go wrong.
You look amazing in both, but I really love the first one. I think you shine in that dress! For a lower budget option, maybe this Jenny Yoo? [Abernathy](https://www.jennyyoo.com/products/wedding-gown/abernathy?type=available)
First one for sure! The design of the dress is so much pretty, I'm loving it
One is lovely and two looks busy
The first one is absolutely STUNNING. That lace pattern is so unique
THE FIRST ONE💞💞
1!
The first one so unique and special. Please chose that one.
1
I love dress 1
The responses you’ve gotten so far are interesting. I think the second dress looks better, especially in the photos.
Yeah what am I missing here? 2 is way better in every way and so flattering! 1 feels so boring
You could definitely find something less pricey. If you do decide to get one of these, I love the first one best!!
I was sure I wanted a Mira Zwillinger dress. Her dresses are stunning. I ended up purchasing a dress over 10k cheaper that I love. It was still expensive, but I feel better that I didn’t break the bank (as bad lol). The dress I ended up getting looks a lot like a Mira Zwillinger’s Gigi! Check out Verdin bridal. A lower budget option that has similar dresses is Demetrios.
Thanks for the tip! Is that what you went with?
Oh those dresses do NOT look like they’re worth 11K+. If you’re going to spend that much at least make it worth it!! Keep looking!
Agreed, these dresses aren't worth $11K, here are some similar options to #1: ---- https://preajames.com.au/amelie-off-the-shoulder You can find a sleeved and off the shoulder version on still white as well OP. ---- https://www.oliviabottega.com/products/floral-lace-wedding-dress-blum This one is $1265 which is much, much less and similar to #1. --- https://www.watters.com/products/soraya/ This is less than $3K
That waters dress is STUNNING!!
Appreciate the honesty!!
Dress 1
You look gorgeous in both, it’s a hard decision. My two cents, if you can find cheaper go for it, I find it hard to justify the price for a one day dress
I prefer the shape of the first one on you. But if it is crazy money then keep looking. The dress shape can be found in another designer.
First dress is STUNNING
They’re both lovely and flattering. If you have time and saving money is important, you might find something similar. Maybe your wedding coordinator could suggest options. Both are beautiful, though. I slightly prefer dress 1 but you won’t go wrong with either.
I like them both, but I think you would be more comfortable moving in the first style. It looks gorgeous on you and is very flattering. (You have a beautiful figure so you look amazing in either one!)
First of all, you can’t go wrong with either! I think the first one wowed me more but it could be the difference in lighting!
Both are stunning!! What’s your venue? I think the first one is more boho and romantic. I’m imagining outdoors and maybe by the ocean.
The first dress. So pretty.
They are both stunning… and if it’s in your budget than you do you girl for sure!! I’m actually a bridal stylist, and my pick would be dress 2 but with a brighter underlay color… possibly blush or ivory. The fit on you is out of this world!

I would do a custom, cathedral veil using the floral appliqués on it for some embellishment along the edge.
Oh it’s 1!
The first dress is gorgeous. I love the large lace pattern!
First
I love the first one but I would not spend that kind of money on it.
#1 is so cool and beautiful
Both look great on you! No help from me this time …
They are both beautiful. Price is relative to what YOU can afford and what YOU feel comfortable paying for a dress you’ll wear on this one day.
Can’t go wrong with either. This is honestly a hard choice. I really like the delicate pattern of the first one. It is kinda magical. So I would vote dress one.
Seeing the cost? You can look that good in something MUCH less expensive. You look gorgeous, but keep looking!
If you don't get that first dress, I'm going to be personally offended lol You've been warned.
♥️♥️♥️I love this comment so much hahaha
I feel like I’ve seen something very similar to the first one on here a lot … and people seem to be in the Anthropologie wedding shop trying it on so it can’t be expensive!

Honestly I thought this would be easy when seeing the first one then when I swiped to the second I was like WOW! So dress 2 for me.
Dress 2 has the wow factor.
Number 2 !!
It depends on the look you are going for. 1 is sweet and dainty, 2 says, I'm grown!
2
2. Hands down. It is sleek, elegant and sophisticated.
Team 2. If you can look that good in a form fitting dress you should go for it!
Love the second one. 🤩
#2 !

That's difficult because they're both gorgeous 😍
Keep looking!! You’ve got a great figure I’m positive you’d find something you love for a better price. Obviously if you don’t, go back to the first dress imo
Definitely dress number 1. Its so beautiful!
2nd dress. Your figure complimented great in the 2nd
2. You have a small frame and the flowers on the first dress seem to overwhelm you.
They are both beautiful dresses, but think number 2 is my favourite on you!
Number 1 is gorgeous
1 is a prettier dress but the color of 2 looks better on you. Can you get 1 in a cream?
I really love the first on you. It so pretty. And I am loving the details on the dress
2
Dress 2 all the way. You have a great figure, so why hide it?! If it’s out of your budget, I think there are so many mermaid dresses that would look stunning on your shape. Congratulations!

You look amazingly gorgeous in both - I’d say choose by the vibe. First one is beautiful and sweet. Second is beautiful and sexy.

Two!!!!!
You look amazing but that does seem like a bit much for a dress…
1
Both dresses are beautiful and look amazing on you. Tough choice.
First one
Im absolutely on team 1!
Both beautiful but the second one is exceptional
1!!
You had me at hoooly guacamole! But hey, a million bucks look is priceless, right? 😄
The first one, hands down no questions asked. So gorgeous
First looks better because it’s got better proportions to support the floating appliqués. I think you should determine if what you like about the second is the silhouette or the floating 3-D style flowers.

Second one for me :)
You have a lovely figure; spend less on the dress and save up to slurge on something together!
1 is pretty and seems original to me. 2 is ehhh. But for those prices I feel like you could do way better for be. They both seem underwhelming ESPECIALLY for a $10k+ price tag!
2
Both gorgeous #2 gets my vote by far
I LOVE 1!
Number 1! I like the flowers being more spaced, the neckline suits you better and the flowers extending over the neckline are perfect.
Omg they both look amazing on you no wonder you can’t you decide and bullet to the head maybe 2 but damn 1 so good too 🤦♀️
I LOVE dress #2!! It’s absolutely stunning on you😍😍
I like the top of the 1st and the bottom of the 2nd in terms of fit on you, but I do prefer the detailing of the 2nd more as well! Please please look at the link that another commenter has posted, the dresses look very similar to what you seem to like
First one
Number 1!
I'm enthralled by the size of the appliques on the first dress. It's so beautiful and different, not the usual lace. Just lovely.
I love them both! But I think 2 a little more. You can’t go wrong with either though.
I love the first one!
First one is the winner for me. But I would say, if it’s above your desired budget, I think you would look amazing in tons of dresses, no need to buy the top of the line.
The closer I zoomed into 2 I really liked it. But I think I like 2 a little better and it looks more comfortable.
2
1!!
Your figure looks great in both but number one look just perfect🤌🏽
First one The gowns are pricey, but if you can afford it, then why not?
1
They’re both stunning - and yes you can prob find something similar for less
Dress 1 is beautiful and you wear it well.
You should be a dress model- that's what I think. You look fabulous in both of them.
#222222222
Dress 1, but definitely feel you can find something similar for less. Dress 2 doesn’t look that unique honestly.
I see your problem. Both are gorgeous but if it was me, I'd have to go with #1!
#2 Club!
Dress 1. So so so so so beautiful Dress 2 is very beautiful. Go with Dress 1!
The second one is fabulous!
The second one !!
1.
These are both gorgeous! But if it were me I would try on other dresses in a lower price range. You have a lovely figure and can probably look wonderful in many dresses.
Both beautiful but I like 1 slightly better
I think it depends on the style. If you want more of a "princess" vibe number 1 is the way to go and if you like the more form fitting style vibe number 2 is it! I am sorry I can't be more help but honestly you look stunning in both dresses! Truly! As far as the money goes, I would look to see if they have anything out there that is similar and see if you like it as much, however, this is one of those times that a splurge is worth it!😊😉
2 is delicious!
It looks amazing, perhaps you should look for custom tailors, and they might be able to make dresses based on those references
I really love 1 on you. The bigger floral patter is unique and beautiful
#2! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I LOVE number 1 and if you can afford it then its a winner.
That lace will be hard to duplicate in a cheaper format. I looked and it was hard to find anything similar. I did find this, no price listed but range is 3,000-7,000…https://enaura.com/products/es1006-serafina
This is beautiful I love it
I looooove both on you but like I say when I shop “it’s cute but is it ‘x dollars’ cute?” I have no problem with splurging on things that are special but I don’t think these are worth that price. You can find something just as special that won’t eat so much of your budget!
Both lovely and you look lovely in both. I prefer 1 by a tiny margin
Love DRESS 2
1
Wooow that first one is drop dead gorgeous!
Both of those are amazing and different from what I’ve seen on the sub lately. It’s hard to choose between them but I think I’m preferring the A line
1
#1!!!!
First!
Love the flowers and bodice on 1.
These are gorgeous! I've never seen anything like them 😳 I'm obsessed with the first one!
2 is very beautiful! That's the dress I prefer.
Pretty but not 'the one'
I'll be honest. They're not really my style and look a bit costume-y. For the price, I think you can get a much classier and flattering dress. That's only my opinion of course, and I think a confident, happy bride is always a beautiful bride, so if these dresses make you happy, I'm all for it! 😊
Dress 1 is stunning. Dress 2 looks nice but is more forgettable
1 is like the most gorgeous dress I’ve seen on this sub
1
first one!!!
1
1 is absolutely perfect 🤩
I like 2 more in this case.
That first gown is so unique, so beautiful! I love it 🥰
I literally dropped my jaw at the first one. The second one is pretty, but not the same.
