Ready?...dress-crazy-girl-is-back!

[Mandarine]

Ok, I know I must be driving all of you crazy! haha...I''m driving myself crazy!

I went back to the store, alone this time. I tried on more dresses, a bunch actually! Ended up really liking these two. I feel these are more "what I pictures myself on" from the beginning, romantic, flowy, spanish...

Both of them are by Pronovias (one is actually by St Patrick which is also part of Pronovias)

Here I go...

Side by side

Last picture! Side by Side again....

They''re BOTH gorgeous. You couldn''t go wrong with either.

LOVE the first one!! Both are flattering on you for sure but my vote is for the first one!! Let us know what you choose!!! So fun huh??

 

[Mandarine]

The first one is similar to the Demetrios, but I like this lace better, it''s more subtle, more romantic...
The second dress is just gorgeous, but it IS different!.

I know these are not everyone''s cup of tea, but they''re definitely both more me

I picture myself with a soft hair-do, with a white flower or something on the side (to keep with the Spanish look).

Both of them are within budget, for the second, I can get the sample and get 20% off (I wonder if I can more more off?), the other one I would have to order.

So.....honest opnions? (I''m ready

)

The 2nd one reminds me more of a "spanish" dress. Don''t know why, just does.

 

[shinythings]

i think the first one is more classic and will look good over time. the second is very romantic and pretty but might be too distracting.

It is! It''s the one the owner of the store pulled out when I said "very Spanish and romantic look", the skirt is very "Flamenco"!!!!

What shinythings said is what worries me, but I still love it!. I actually secretly love it a little tiny more than the first one, but it worries me to make that decision and then not have the guts and not pull it off...haha

I should have made a poll!...oh well, don''t be shy to chime in!, I can take it, I swear!

They''re both stunning. If you want a more Spanish feel, however, I''d go with #2.

Okay... the second one to me looks a little "peacock-y" Does that make sense? The first one is more classic IMHO. But, like everyone else on this forum has said - go with your gut and buy the one that YOU feel best in. I knew my dress was the one when I started crying when I saw myself (and then the lady at the bridal store said I looked like a goddess - then I HAD to buy it! Ha!)

Had to edit... if you are going for a whole Spanish thang - then definitely go for the second one! It has castinettes written all over it!

 

[jcrow]

i like number one sans bow.
number one is less of a dress, number two is more of a dress. know what i mean? neither is bad, depends on what you like/want.

 

[princesss]

Ok, the first dress is stunning, no doubt. But I looked at the second one and longed to go back to Barcelona. It''s gorgeous, fun, and genuinely makes me ache for Spain. So if you''re going for a Spanish look, I''d say #2 gets my vote.

hahahaha...I know what you mean, and that is what worries me a little, to end up looking like a big turkey! haha, but I love it, it is very Spanish!

Both are gorgeous, but I LOVE the first one, I also prefer it without the bow.

That''s how I feel about that one!.....it is different so I know it won''t be everyone''s cup of tea. The question is will FI feel like he is aching to go back to Barcelona or will he feel like running from the church!? haha

A little background, we''re both Spanish. Both my parents (and their families) and from Spain (Pamplona and Zaragoza)...FI''s mom is from Madrid, hence the whole Sapnish thing...

Plus we''re having our reception at the Spanish Monastery www.spanishmonastery.com, serving Paella, tapas, Sangria and having a Spanish guitarist at the cocktail hour!

The first one is also Spanish-y, you can''t really tell from the pictures, but the lave is very "vintage" looking

Oh, I''m with you! NO BOW!. I already asked the ladies at the store and that is not a problem, I hate the bow!

 

[Mandarine]

climb2cloud9, no worries!!! you didn''t offend me at all, that is actually exactly the same thing I told my mom over the phone about that one, I love it, but do run that risk! lol
