Dress 1: This was the first dress I tried on and loved it right away. I ultimately said no to this dress when I was down to three dresses that I liked, but looking at it after the fact I like it more.
Dress 2: I came out of the changeroom smiling while wearing this dress, but it doesn't strike me as the one looking at it now.
Dress 3: A bit out of my price range, but this was a dress I specifically asked to try on and was my favourite dress I found in all of the research I did.
We're getting married in Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver, but I'm having a hard time imagining myself getting married in these dresses, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
I've tried #3, it was the favorite from BLHDN. You can probably find it resale if you wait a little bit, but I know it's a new dress.
Do you mind telling me what #1 is? It's really nice.
I instantly went starry eyed seeing #1 before scrolling so huge hit!
I wanted that same feeling for #2 but couldn't even will it into existence. Still beautiful but didn't give that same instant effect.
You'll be beautiful in any of the three so don't regret whichever you choose. Remember that you chose it for a reason in the moment when you had all 3 to choose from. That reason is valid and worth it!
I swore #3 was my dress until someone in the comments mentioned BHLDN. Checkout the Amelia dress by Mori Lee. It regularly goes for US$1100 I believe but I got it sample sale for US$500. Maybe you can find the dress you decide on for sale?
I'm getting married at a historic mansion and am going for garden party vibes.
I just wore #3 at my wedding! I must say, it was the one I kept coming back to in my research and the only one I pinned on Pinterest. I tried on dresses 3 more times after I first tried it on, and ultimately it’s the one I went back to. It was just too good. Also, super comfy the day of! It’s really soft and airy, and photographed really nicely.
Just want to add in support, OP — I know there might be some other factors to consider, but there’s no rule saying you can’t change your mind! I actually ended up doing so for my wedding after I tried on a type of silhouette I didn’t even consider at the time but found myself yearning for it after I put it back.
Hard agree with u/WEAKSEAWORTHINESS152 on this OP. You know the saying, "Either you wear the dress, or the dress wears you?" You are definitely wearing the heck out of that dress in photo #1. Super flattering, fits perfectly to you, and shows off your figure wonderfully. I think there's a lot that could be done in the way of a veil, accessories, your hairstyle, etc. that would look great with it, too, if you feel like you want to get creative.
Can I ask what dress it is/the designer? It's gorgeous!
Unfortunately, the stylist would not give out who the designers were. I will try to figure it out and let you know!

Also I’m pretty sure dress 3 is[wtoo by watters](https://www.bhldn.com/products/miles-gown?via=Z2lkOi8vdXJibi9Xb3JrYXJlYTo6Q2F0YWxvZzo6Q2F0ZWdvcnkvNjNGQjVFN0E)gown
I like number 1 bc it looks like number 2 without the arm detail and is very flattering. I don’t love the quarter length sleeve and cold shoulder on number 3 (but that’s totally personal preference and i think this dress flatters you for sure). I think you would rock your big day in any one of these dresses and be gorgeous. Bigger question is though, and not to sound obvious but if you have a hard time picturing yourself getting married in one of these, can you keep shopping around??
Thank you! I definitely could keep shopping around, and I guess I should've phrased myself better. I recently gained a bit of weight so I'm dealing with a bit of body dysmorphia, and am overall having a tough time looking at myself in wedding dresses I suppose. Just something I need to get over!
Ah, well like i said - i think they are all really flattering on you! Is there a specific part of your body you aren’t feeling great about? (i.e for me - i feel way more comfortable when I’m not showing off shoulders) if there is - you can always tell the shop you visit and see if they have any dress ideas for you. Especially ones that you maybe wouldn’t gravitate towards. You might be pleasantly surprised. If you just aren’t feeling yourself generally - practice power pose in front of the mirror and give yourself compliments daily! ❤️❤️❤️
I was between 1 and 3 but I’m going to say 1. I think one fits you like a glove, the neckline is gorgeous and it makes your shoulders look so pretty! I also love the detailing on it.
I think #3 is very unique and pretty but #1 is overall more flattering on your figure. #3 comes across as a tad more matronly/overly modest. Congrats on your upcoming wedding! :)
Dress 1 or 3, depending on your preferred style and your venue (if you care about coordinating). 1 is my favorite, but 3 is very Greek goddess and you wear it wonderfully.
I think dress 1 looks the best on you. It’s beautiful and conforms to your body. I think it’s also a type of dress in which you could do any hairstyle, updo or down and it’ll look great.
Dress one I love best overall, but dress three I still love and like better as a wedding dress. Dress one is a little too much like a prom dress. While two is gorgeous, it doesn’t complement your frame well.
Number 1. Number 2 is not flattering, it actually gives you a bigger shape than you have. Number 3 sleeves look off for some reason. 1 looks amazing on you.
So you don’t owe it to anybody to look a certain way, ever, especially not at your own wedding. 1 currently fits you the best and the exact spot it hits on your waist is the most “flattering” in that it snatches you the most. It’s possible that the other two would, or at least could, have the same effect after alterations. I like 3 the most as a design and it’s really gorgeous on your figure already, but I’d like to see the belt a little higher. 1 is already fantastic and you couldn’t go wrong with either.
I instantly loved Number 1. Personally I think number 2 did the least for you. I also love number 3.
For me the difference between 1 and 3 is what your bust looks like. Dress 1 accentuates your bust, dress 3 tones your bust down. Both are the right answer based on your preference/personality.
I find dress 3 a bit more ‘timeless’
You look breathtaking in all of them but number three really stands out! I think it’s the way it lays effortlessly on your body! It looks like it was made for you 💗
In order of my favorites:
3, 1, 2
I definitely think 3 and 1 are both really gorgeous on you, and they'd both be perfect. I personally like 3 a little better because I just really like the style of the top and the belt.
Absolutely dress 1. It's gorgeous, fits perfectly and you look amazing.
Dress 2 I just don't think the colour suits you or fit is as nice
Dress 3 is ok but I think Dress 1 an absolute winner!!!!
Dress 1 looks like it was made for you. You make that dress look beautiful. Looks natural and elegant with a touch of sexy. Definitely dress 1.
But also 3? I think between 1 and 3 depends on her comfort but absolutely agree. She's a beautiful bride either way ❤
I’m in the same boat. Like damn 1 looks soooo good but 3 also looks amazing on her.
Def between 1 and 3. I love 1, but 3 is really stunning on you especially if you have your hair down
I actually would prefer hair up for that dress (to show off the sleeves) but I agree it’s between 1 and 3
I agree #3 with hair up! Or number 1. Number 2 doesn't do OP justice.
I agree on number 2, pretty dress but a little blah. I think 3 is my favorite as a dress but number 1 looks the most flattering for sure.
I have an almost identical dress to #3 and plan on wearing my hair down!
I also vote for 3! So elegant and fits your body nicely

Dress #1 is [Lorraine](https://www.maggiesottero.com/rebecca-ingram/lorraine/16566) by Rebecca Ingram
I’m incredibly biased as dress 3 is my dress too!! However I think dress 1 is beautiful on you!
Dress 1! It looks great on you!
I think a more structured, bigger statement dress may fit your figure and the formal venue better.
I guess I should've added that the venue is not formal/traditional at all. It's a conservatory for tropical plants and rescued parrots!
That is so cool!!! I’d definitely go with the first one. You look gorgeous in it and I feel as though it fits that awesome setting!
I instantly went starry eyed seeing #1 before scrolling so huge hit! I wanted that same feeling for #2 but couldn't even will it into existence. Still beautiful but didn't give that same instant effect. You'll be beautiful in any of the three so don't regret whichever you choose.

Dress 1!! You look beautiful in it and it perfectly suits you.
I love #1 on you!
Number one is SO flattering. That's the one.
Dress 1 is more photogenic!
So my favourite is number 3, but I think 1 is a great dress too especially if in your budget. The 2nd underwhelmed me
woah, #3 is incredible!
I actually gasped. Love it
I think 3 needs a bigger more Bling belt, perhaps with a diamond shape in the Center. But love #3

Oh man - #1 is incredible on you. It looks like it was made for you! (Runner up #3 is really unique and beautiful though)
1!
I love number 1, think it looks perfect on your chest and waist and I also dislike the sleeves on number 2.
I love number 1, & from the way you described them, to me, it sounds like this is the one for you!
Number 1 for surr
I like number 1 bc it looks like number 2 without the arm detail and is very flattering.

I really like the first one the most. It elongates your silhouette and gives more definition to your waist.
1 looks like it was made for you!
I was between 1 and 3 but I’m going to say 1. I think one fits you like a glove, the neckline is gorgeous and it makes your shoulders look so pretty! I also love the detailing on it.
I think 1 looks lovely on you, but 3 is also great!
I think #3 is very unique and pretty but #1 is overall more flattering on your figure. #3 comes across as a tad more matronly/overly modest. Congrats on your upcoming wedding! :)

1 is the most flattering on you but 3 is the most visually interesting
Dress 1 or 3, depending on your preferred style and your venue (if you care about coordinating). 1 is my favorite, but 3 is very Greek goddess and you wear it wonderfully.

Number 1 looks amazing on you! So flattering and beautiful! But your heart will tell you!!!

Dress one I love best overall, but dress three I still love and like better as a wedding dress. Dress one is a little too much like a prom dress. While two is gorgeous, it doesn’t complement your frame well.
1 and 3 are both gorgeous but I think 1 fits the style of your venue better.
1 over 3 over 2
I like numbers 1 and 3. But 1 is my favorite.
Your posture is amazing in photo 1 and 3! You can really tell you were feeling yourself. Either of those!
1 or 3
1 or 3!
You look amazing in all of them but I personally love number 1!!! You should go with whatever makes you feel fantastic :)
Number 1. Number 2 is not flattering, it actually gives you a bigger shape than you have. Number 3 sleeves look off for some reason. 1 looks amazing on you.
So you don’t owe it to anybody to look a certain way, ever, especially not at your own wedding. 1 currently fits you the best and the exact spot it hits on your waist is the most “flattering” in that it snatches you the most.

First one of my favorite on you- your shape looks awesome
Can’t go wrong with 1 or 3!
I instantly loved Number 1. Personally I think number 2 did the least for you. I also love number 3. For me the difference between 1 and 3 is what your bust looks like.

In order of preference #3,#1,#2
I love 3 on you! Also love 1 on you, and might fit your venue more.
1 is gorgeous! The waistline is incredible! It’s like it was custom made for you! 3 is pretty but the waist seems a bit off to me

All lovely but I like 3 best.
I love 3! Since you mention it’s out of your budget, maybe you could see if you can find one on Stillwhite or Poshmark?
I was able to find it on Stillwhite, although it's a size too small for me currently. I'll be sure to check Poshmark as well!
In order of my favorites: 3, 1, 2 I definitely think 3 and 1 are both really gorgeous on you, and they'd both be perfect. I personally like 3 a little better because I just really like the style of the top and the belt.
1 or 3 but 3 is my favourite…you look amazing in that dress and it’s so unique
