I love antique styles and I am getting married in December...I think these two dresses are perfect for a snowy (hopefully), Christmas wedding.  I have an antiquey-looking engagement ring, and I think these two dresses are GORGEOUS and exactly my style.  The problem is, I can't decide which one I like better.  I am 50/50.....I absolutely love them both equally.  Let me know what you think.  Do you prefer #1 or #2?  Thanks everyone!

BTW, the pictures aren't showing up very large (at least, I don't think they are going to), so if you want to see them better, go to www.maggiesottero.com.  The two dresses are called "Grace Kelly" and "Ophelia."  Just click on "Collection" up at the top and type the word in the box and hit enter.

UPDATE:  BIGGER PICS OF BOTH DRESSES (FRONT AND BACK VIEWS) ARE ATTACHED A FEW POSTS AFTER THIS....KEEP SCROLLING DOWN!   THANKS!!!!


#1 ("Ophelia")

Singer,

My favorite of the two would have to be the Grace Kelly. I just love the flow...it looks very elegant and vintage.

I really like this one too:

Grace Lynette


Strapless Grace Kelly. Maybe the best of both worlds?

#2! I love that waistline (sooooo flattering) and it's so flowy and elegant. #1 is pretty too, but I feel like I've seen a lot of brides wearing something like that. #2 is more unique and still has that timeless feel.

I adore the Ophelia! I was actually looking at that one, too! I just look the intricate detail and the way it flows!

First, I love Ophelia.  It is one of my absolute faves.

BUT, I have to say that when I saw Grace Kelly...  well, I just adore that dress....  and I was disappointed that it wasn't around soon enough for me to consider it when I was looking...  it's just a lovely dress!!!  So, that's my vote, Grace Kelly.

You seriously couldn't really go wrong with either one though.

They are both lovely! #2 seems more suuited for a winter wedding but they also seem like they would fit very differently so you should try them on and see which one fit you better.

I love them both but the Grace Kelly is just like its namesake- so classic and elegant.  Lovely choices but that's my fave of the two!

Nothing you can know that isn''t known.
Nothing you can see that isn''t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn''t where you''re meant to be.
It''s easy.
All you need is love.
Love is all you need.

I was having a hard time picking between the Grace Kelly and the Ophelia - but that 3rd one, the Grace Lynette, gets my vote hands down!  The best of both worlds.

I think I like #3 too!  Otherwise I like the first one.  I just love strapless dresses.

I really like deass #1 ("Ophelia") the best. It is just so romantic looking. I really like that is not too poofy, it has just the right amount of balance. Very pretty. With the right type of antique looking veil, i think it would just blow your FI away.
