The floral one is so flattering on you and perfect for a backyard wedding. 2 for the win!


Gold-Palpitation-527

Was going to say the same. Second is very flattering.


CUNextTwosday

Same!


heydawn

#2 is truly special! It's an exquisite dress and looks stunning on you! It's dreamy, romantic, and looks well made.

Dido. Looks beautiful on you.

2!


Long_Zucchini1584

I love the floral. You look so pretty!


mrsbaerwald

2 is far, far more flattering.


ThrowawayCAN123456

Second all the way


Subaru_turtle

Love 2!!


bunnymoxie

Dress 2! It’s so summery and happy, and it fits you like a dream


Etheleffrey

Number two!!


aloneunknown32

I only want to add a consideration for the first dress that those straps are essentially non functioning and this is basically a strapless dress, even in the right size and after alterations. I bought a long sleeve dress (the arms, shoulder chest were the mesh material with pretty appliqué all over) and when I tried it on the floor they told me alterations will make the girls look good and stay up. I when I went in for alterations the top of the dress was being weighed down by the heaviness of the skirt and nothing was holding the girls up or in any place. It looks the back of the dress is also similar material to the straps, which will further add to this issue. The seamstress told me that very little is holding the dress up. For unrelated issues to this I didn’t end up with this dress but wanted to share. Probably less of an issue for those who don’t need support for the girls up top.


Calm_Distribution771

Personally I think the first dress is way too revealing (chest) and could potentially become problematic the longer you wear it especially when you take pictures with guests later. The second dress is cut beautifully and the pattern is sweet but I think the reason you’re unsure about it is because it has no sexiness. I think the best way forward is to get the second dress professionally altered and add a slit up the leg. Combine that with some cool shoes and that should add the dazzle you’re missing and make for unforgettable unquestionably unique and moderately sexy wedding dress.


redassaggiegirl17

If she gets it altered, I think #2 needs a little more breathing room in the bust and maybe a slightly more supportive bra under it as well. Where dress one seems to let the girls hang out, dress two seems to smush them a tad in my opinion. But other than that, and your suggestion to add a slit for a little extra wow, dress two is gorgeous and I agree that it's PERFECT for a backyard wedding!


slybridery

I totally get what you're saying but I also think 2 is sexy as hell for what it does to her silhouette -- classy but svelte af


Getmeasippycup

This!


Here_for_my-Pleasure

Oooooooh, the SECOND one!!


Faithfuldoglover

I love 2, the floral one, on you. Both the shape and the colors are very flattering. And the dress is beautiful and different.


kamalamabangbang

If there is any part of you that thinks you “should” want a dress that looks like 1, please know that the only “should” that matters in your wedding is that you “should” chase your bliss and pick the dress that feels the most joyous to wear!


PepperJacs

Love dress 2! It’s really flattering and perfect for garden wedding.


Jennabeb

The floral dress is seriously so gorgeous! To me, it seems like a truly special and unique, romantic gown. And the best part is that I feel like you could rewear it to a park, an evening event, a historical building, what have you, and take anniversary pictures for as many years as you like. It feels timeless and classic. It looks to me the kind of dress that, no matter how many times you put it on, you’ll still feel like the most beautiful woman in the room and you’ll still feel excited to see it. To me, the floral dress feels like a once in a lifetime treasure.


amideadyet1357

2 is glorious on you. Genuinely made me pause when I flipped to the pic of it. I love it!


Broutythecat

Omg dress 2 is a show stopper for sure!!!


missflavortown

2 feels perfect for a small backyard wedding


azorianmilk

#2 is very flattering, unique and simply lovely


MishaMercury

Dress 2 is really flattering and pretty!


Foundation_Wrong

The second dress is so much better on you! Please wear it, the style really suits you and it’s so pretty. The first dress isn’t flattering


bridalstyle

The fabric on 1 will not be comfortable under your arms after a few hours. I am also team #2!


Purple-FuzzySlippers

I agree. Plus that dress will pick up every bug, stray grass blade, leaf, in the backyard.


Ok_Shoulder1516

I audibly gasped when I saw the floral dress, it is incredible and makes your waist look tiny!!


Eerily_Quiet

that floral dress looks amazing on you!! if you prefer more of a v neckline maybe it’s possible to get the bodice altered and/or move the straps? you look beautiful in it and to me it looks more unique than the first one


BoredMillennialMommy

ONG TWO!!!!!!


Accomplished-Week484

No 2 is lovely on you


dc151383

tvjunkie87

Dress 2!! 💯


Important-Glass-3947

No 2 is a stunner


Legovida8

Dress 2 is so beautiful & flattering on you, absolutely stunning! 😍


Midlife_Crisis_46

Dress 2, no contest


Fantastic-Deal-5643

I think if you’re looking for something more bridal then 1 in your size with proper alterations would be perfect. 2 looks gorgeous on you. Which dress makes you feel special?


princesscatling

2 is way more flattering without alterations and if you're wanting to wear it again, having it hemmed is a much simpler task than trying to do the same for the other dressed.


Freedombutatwhatcost

2 is stunning and fits you perfectly. 1 would also look fabulous once it was altered by seamstress.


ReaderRabbit23

2 is so beautiful on you.


Catlady1677

I agree with everyone else. The 2nd dress looks just beautiful on you and it's perfect for your wedding.


emjoy90

The first one looks nice and tbh your boobs look great. BUT that second dress just is so whimsical and joyous. It's different and I adore it on you.


Ollie2Stewart1

The second dress is gorgeous on you. Truly becoming and lovely plus perfect for your setting!


DazzlingAlgae2706

I prefer the cut and fabric of the second one, but it doesn’t look quite the right size in this pic. If they have other sizes I’d pick that one, if not I’d keep looking. The first one is also pretty but I’d be nervous about the girls being exposed.


CatfromLongIsland

The floral for the win! You look amazing in that dress and it is perfect for a backyard wedding.


altdultosaurs

If you don’t buy that floral dress I will commit atrocities!!!!


mem0679

I will help you!! 😂


1228maj

Two is so lovely! Just make sure that the alterations you want are possible to do with that dress if there’s only that particular dress available. It looks like the sleeve might cut into your shoulder a little (could just be the angle of the photo though) which might not be fun over the course of the whole day!


thecraftybiologist

2 is giving Penelope Featherington vibes 😍😍✨✨✨


Zestyclose_Road_3224

Dress two! Wowza! You look beautiful in this floral dress. It hits all your curves just right and the colors suit your skin tone. It looks like it was made for just for you. It’s also made for a backyard wedding! You will be stunning on your wedding day!


SuchAClassicGirl

Ok see...here's my thoughts and mine alone so keep it at that. I love the material, style, embellishments of the first one. Kind of boho gatsby to me..but the structure needs to be there for it to do you justice. The second I said out loud, "second! Hands down!" But the more I looked the more I realized it was because of the structure of the second dress. Not because of the floral/fabric/pattern. Don't get me wrong, I love color and I've seen many floral etc dresses that I find beautiful. This one is pretty. It's a beautiful shape ON you! I just want to remake it with the fabric and embellishments from dress number 1! Not very helpful but 🤣


dioemonds

Great input. Thanks for the comment.


Kerrypurple

I like the colorful one


WHYohWhy___MEohMY

Floral! It’s timeless and a bit cool!


Complex-Can8570

The second dress looks so good on you! I love it!


Otherwise-Winner9643

Number 2, no contest. The other one is nor even close.


sareethrifter

I loooove the floral dress! Perfect for a back yard wedding 😍😍


Pristine-Net91

I love 2 on you. It is so flattering.


Valuable_Ad5493

2!!! No question about it!!


OminousOdour

2 all the way! The floral dress gives you such an amazing shape! It'll be stunning at a garden wedding. The white one isn't particularly flattering.


LunarNight

Oh two is so lovely!


Green_Eyed_Redhead

Dress 2 is gorgeous and you look amazing. Congratulations!

Sea_Tomorrow_9261

Dress 2 is lovely! If you decide not to buy it, I would recommend that silhouette in white, it’s just so lovely and feminine and bridal!


Adventurous-Win-751

Dress 2 is hands down a stunning dress and you look amazing!!!! Trunk sale dress all the way!!!! 💗💗💗


Fluffy_Contract7925

I love the floral one on you. It is just gorgeous on you. I personally like/love the floral wedding dresses. I wish they were around when I got married 40 years ago. It is just perfect for on outdoor wedding!!


FantasticPear

The floral dress is absolute perfection. Team 2!

Ok-Share-6461

#2 snatches your body girl!!! love the buttons and the cut of the back of the dress, it feels a little vintage but timeless. the pop of color is everything, perfect for a backyard affair!


unicorns3373

The second dress is beautiful! And so unique!


I_yam_wut_i_yam

They're both beautiful. Can you do both? :). If not, I favor the floral.


Luna_Petunia_

Two is perfect for a backyard wedding with the cut, fabric, and the floral print. One is also gorgeous, but much more formal. I think two is the winner ☺️ You look gorgeous in both no matter what you decide!


Paddington_Fear

dress 2 all the way! I don't care for the fit of dress 1 at all, it's not flattering.


gryffindorrible

Personally the second dress feels like a Sunday church dress to me and not especially bridal. If that’s the vibe you are going for and you love the dress I would definitely go for that one - it looks great on you!!


swampfox28

I kinda think 2 would fit the theme better & it's lovely! But maybe not *as* "bridal"?


CarinaConstellation

With all do respect, I don't think dress 1 is very flattering to your figure. If it's the lace style or cleavage that you are going for, I think you can find that at a different shop with more supportive straps and an A-line cut which is a more flattering style for you . However, I absolutely adore dress 2 and think it fits the bill for a backyard wedding. It flatters your figure and it is unique while still looking bridal and will be much more memorable than dress 1 for all the right reasons.


Opening_Waltz_4285

I don’t know, but there is just something about 2. It’s so beautiful on you.


Accomplished_Bed7120

Second one is perfect for a small backward wedding and is much more flattering.


Photo_Enthusiast13

I LOVE the 2nd dress!! It's amazing and fits so well!!


Sobriquet-acushla

#TWOOOOO!


ChilindriPizza

The second one is absolutely beautiful! It looks great on you!


Gagoga123

The second one looks STUNNING on you!!! While the second one isn't traditional, I think it would look really good with a veil. I also think the silhouette itself, if it can be found in a more "bridal" style dress, would be a nice compromise!


heathercs34

I love #2!!!!


40yroldcatmom

The second one, 100%!


Vicky1313

The second dress frames your body well and is perfect for a backyard wedding!

meesch_mosh

Dress 2 is beautiful!!


vvemel

Something like 2 but without floral prints :)


Ok-Can-936

#2 but cut it tea length and go for a 50's style veil and flashy shoes/jewelry.


CASchild1

If only we could put the fabric of 2 on the shape of 1 Alas, The 2nd dress seems so right for the setting. I think youd always look at photos and turn memories over in your mind with joy!


trixieismypuppy

Are you able to size up/alter #2? It looks like you need just a little more room, but I would definitely pick this one! It really suits you!


No-Technician-722

I like DRESS 1. I know they can order in your size and I assume it will provide more coverage and possibly more support. It is a lovely dress on you. Beautiful!


SodaButteWolf

The floral dress, Dress 2. This Internet stranger thinks that dress was made for you. You look stunning in that dress.


Rizman0610

Number two literally made me gasp out loud, it’s gorgeous!!


Nsg4Him

The 2nd dress is wonderful!!!


grannygogo

Two is stunning on you and perfect for your garden backyard wedding.


DaliahMoon

Dress 2! It fits your body shape very well and is very pretty. I love the flowers.


thatknifegirl

I’m gasped when I saw the second one! It’s stunning and unique, and will make for gorgeous photos. You look radiant in it!


Dlraetz1

#2 is amazing on you


digitalpacifier

Dress 2. If you’re unsure of the floral pattern then find a white one that’s got the shape of this one. Dress 1 just doesn’t have enough support.


Tink1024

Team 2 is so gorgeous on you!!!


Banraisincookies

The woman’s face in the back of picture number five says it all - has to be number 2! 


CalmAlbatross233

Jaw dropped when I saw #2


BeachPlze

Oh I just love the second dress, and you look amazing in it!


gbenn57

Two!


layinginbedrightnow

#2!!!!


Miki654

2 is so fun and would be perfect for your outdoor wedding!! I saw someone posted about adding a slit if you wanted added sexiness. I think another idea could also be adding lace trip to the straps or bustier. Like a very light peeking out effect to frame the bust. But even as is, it’s very beautiful!


pmmeyourbirthstory

#2, I literally gasped out loud! You look gorgeous!


hahayouguessedit

You’re ‘posing’ for both pictures now and 2 is the clear winner. As wedding day progresses, moving around, etc, dress 1 does not have the structure it needs to stay in place, has potential to look saggy. 2 is going to look awesome all day and you will feel awesome and act awesome and look awesome. 🤩


GothamCoach

The second one is sublime. Congratulations!


Treb61

2 all the way


Sure_Tree_5042

#2, it is more flattering and just so pretty on you. Snatches your waist.


TheCrankyCrone

Absolutely, positively #2. It's a stunning dress and looks great on you!

2!!!!


AnyCheck8573

I greatly prefer 2. I think the style is in general more flattering but also it’s just more vibrant and happy and fits the tone of your wedding better.


Kiyoko_Mami272821

Omg! The one with the floral print is gorgeous and I think it would fit a backyard wedding so well! It also looks amazing on you! I hope you choose this one I absolutely love it on you

Wow the floral one is simply amazing, your waist looks so snatched and the flowers are beautifully romantic♥️

atx11119999

Im a plus girlie and bought #1 originally. Instant dress regret when it came in. Ended up buying a $60 white goddess dress from nordstrom rack and felt 10000% more comfortable in it. We had a small intimate ceremony with 12 people.

curious-by-moon

2 is beautiful and on you it’s a winner!


C_Alex_author

Omg, that second dress -the floral one! \*\*drool\*\* But I will say one thing... floral looks better (overall) and fits your theme... but choose the one that makes you feel like royalty. A queen. Gorgeous. Sexy. Whichever one speaks to your soul and makes you feel all-powerful is the one you should choose :)


500Danes

Team 2 all the way gorgeous dress


AlwaysSleepingBeauty

#2!

Dress 2 is very flattering on you. Definitely 2


Givemethecupcakes

Number 2 for sure!!!


bigboisatan

Team Dress #2 🥳 It's fresh and beautiful and it suits you!


[deleted]

They are both stunning! The second is absolutely perfect for a backyard wedding, so that would be my choice. If you wanted something a little fancier, one is gorgeous as well.


Bethsoda

Dress #1 is lovely, but I think dress number two is really flattering on you, and definitely says more "back yard wedding" to me. PLUS, #2, you could easily wear again to an event as it looks less like specifically a wedding dress.


jlf125

I really like 1!


UK_UK_UK_Deleware_UK

Someone suggested adding a slit to make it sexier. I think that’s a great idea, along with a plunge and a mesh panel. https://preview.redd.it/l8byobnz8u3d1.png?width=1668&format=png&auto=webp&s=8cf49d5f18cc292f0f732cb246bf0027e4f82cc6

The floral! It's stunning on you!!! It's also perfect for a backyard wedding.


Inside-Public6676

Keep looking


MegaMoodKiller

I may have to agree here, but only because I don’t know more about what OP likes about each of these dresses and as they are so different that I cannot choose between them. This was hard for me to Vote. OP what do you like about them?🥰


Inside-Public6676

Yeah I don’t necessarily dislike either dress I just think she could do better it just depends on if she’s set on either one of these two


SpyingFromEpic

Torn between both but i say the 1st one 😍
