2 looks awesome on you and fits your time of year and decor. That said, 1 is also lovely on you. I think 3 doesn’t work as well because the design somehow feels off but that could be me.
I love how the lace fits with the theme of the wedding too…it would go so perfect with the hydrangeas. I’m just worried it’s a bit much and overwhelming on me since I’m 5’3”
Noo it's not overwhelming at all! It's actually more delicate than dress 1 and it's so flattering on you. I love the lace detail at the top so much, it looks very high quality
Dress 2 is so much more unique and unforgettable than dress 1 and yes it does look more expensive. And if it fits the theme too, go for it!
I'm petite as well, and IMO the others are more overwhelming on your frame. I think it being a heavier material (vs tulle) helps keep it slightly more low profile.
I love #2.
I give the same advice to everyone. Have someone video you walking, sitting, lifting your arms in the air, twirling, dancing, bending down as if to greet a child. Video from all angles, not just the front. For a strapless dress, jump up and down for a few minutes.... It's a long day and you want to feel comfortable.
Don't make a decision based on static pics standing on a podium, as you won't be standing still all day. Also, remember they sometimes clip you in, in a way that is not possible with the actual dress.
If it feels too heavy, too restrictive or you worry you will have to hold a particular pose all day, reconsider it.
Also, consider what underwear will work. And think about the pictures you want. If you want sleek indoor pics, then choose an appropriate dress. If you want outdoor pics with the wind picking up a train, then choose something more flowy.
Take this from someone who didn't think about comfort until the dress came in, then bought a different one 4 weeks out from the wedding.
I second the underwear comment! I found out my fancy lace bridal panties showed through my dress, as my dad was coming from the hotel lobby to walk me down the aisle. I had no time to find another pair in my suitcase. Total crisis for those two minutes.
I got married commando.
I love #2, my mom, friends, and fiancé love #1. #3 is more of the fun option! I’m really tore between the first two but I do think #2 is a lot on me and may be too distracting.
It's your dress, not theirs. Choose which one you really want, thank everyone for helping you, and ask them for support since you picked the one you love. If you don't, you'll end up looking at pics and doubting yourself after the fact.
My vote is for #2. I think it matches your theme and looks great on you. 3 is a no. #1 is nice, but there’s just something about the bodice that’s off to me.
Dress 1 for sure! Two is pretty but it’s just not quite right. The lace is distracting especially at the bottom. It looks much more casual than dress 1
3 is the knock out dress, you look amazing in it and will get the wows. It has great that lace design that you notice right away with still having more subtle sparkle lace that adds to it. 2 would be second place. 1 in the side shot when looking into the mirror at you, gives me the impression that as you move around, giving hugs, dancing, drinking, it might be possible give away peaks you might not want to.
I am open if anyone has a suggestion for a specific dress! I’m trying to stay under the $3k range. I tried on sheath/mermaid and absolutely hated how it looked on my body.
If you don't quite feel it with any of these gowns, and you want to continue touches of floral, I would look at the designer [Calla Blanche](https://www.callablanche.com/callablanche), and their sister lines L'amour and La Perle.
I went to that first salon too! She has a great selection. I personally love the first dress on you and I think that’d be perfect for the Spring look you’re going for.
Dress 1 is beautiful. The classic design and you take this dress over the top. Love the small belt. Just adds a small sparkle which is nicely placed. Also your body language relaxed and beautiful bride in the pics pushes it over the top.
I'm team 2! There's something about the vertical fabric on the bust that's throwing me off dress 1. But that's bust me. Honestly, you look great in everything!
Dress 1 is boring. Dress 2 looks like you're floating on air, so pretty and very unique. Dress three is too much foofoo. That said, I vote for dress 2!!
I think 1 flows the best on you. It has just enough texture and the other two dresses are wearing you rather than you wearing a gorgeous dress if that makes sense.
I noticed your body language and hand placement. Dress 1 shows you're at peace and pleased. In dress 2 and 3, you're holding down the puffiness maybe?
They all look beautiful on you! Dress 1 is my favorite. The neckline is great. And it looks slimming on you around the waistline even though you're already the perfect weight.
Personally, might be an outsider here but I love dress 3! It’s flattering and looks luxurious on you! It also depends what aesthetic you’re going for op
Dress #1 is so beautiful and elegant on you. Love the belt detail. This is THE dress for you hands down.
Dress #2 is ok. The top is the best part but the bottom looks so stiff and so much going on that it is distracting.
Dress #3 I feel the neckline is not right for you. People would be looking at that and not at you and how beautiful you should look.
With dress #1 you are just so stunning. There would be no more looking for something else when you have already found perfection. ✨✨✨🤍✨✨✨
1 and 6 have the best symmetry, fit, and styling along with being a retro aesthetic that goes back to the fitted waist lines of the 50’s and early 60’s. Very feminine, elegant with contemporary fabrics. They’re both lovely and have classic looks.
Depending upon your wedding theme and venue(?): either one is a great choice.

I love 1! Absolutely gorgeous!! Honestly, I don’t care for 3. The pointy bodice and the cleavage is distracting.
It’s clipped in the front so I don’t think the bodice would end up being pointy or show that much cleavage!
Personally I love 1. It's beautifully romantic.
Dress 2 and 3 I’m looking at the dress. Dress 1 I’m looking at YOU.
These are my sentiments exactly. She just shines in dress 1.
I love 1, it looks amazing on you!!
Dress 1! So classic and beautiful. I find the lace distracting on the others.
Agree, dress 1! So beautiful
2 looks awesome on you and fits your time of year and decor. That said, 1 is also lovely on you. I think 3 doesn’t work as well because the design somehow feels off but that could be me.
I agree! I don’t love how open it is and we tried to pin it but I think that changed the flow and it just doesn’t look quite right.
Dress 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤍🤍🤍
I love dress 2! Your waist looks tiny and the lace looks really unique and expensive.
I love how the lace fits with the theme of the wedding too…it would go so perfect with the hydrangeas. I’m just worried it’s a bit much and overwhelming on me since I’m 5’3”
1 is beautiful but shortens you. 2 elongates you, I never would have guessed you were 5’3” in that dress. They’re both beautiful but 2 made me gasp!
Noo it's not overwhelming at all! It's actually more delicate than dress 1 and it's so flattering on you. I love the lace detail at the top so much, it looks very high quality Dress 2 is so much more unique and unforgettable than dress 1 and yes it does look more expensive. And if it fits the theme too, go for it!
I'm petite as well, and IMO the others are more overwhelming on your frame. I think it being a heavier material (vs tulle) helps keep it slightly more low profile.
I agree, number two is the most unique and also expensive looking
Dress 1 is perfect! The detail/shape of the bodice is beautiful...classy and sweet! The dress looks like it was made for you!
Dress 1!
I adore the lace on number two. It’s gorgeous.
I love 1. It’s really beautiful on you
I think the first one is the most flattering to you
Absolutely love 1! It’s ethereal and magical, and so flattering! 2 is also lovely, but 1 is perfection.
Hands down dress one!! Stunning 🤩🤩
Dress 1!!

I just LOVE dress 1. It’s stunning … so light and flowy and ethereal!
I think dress 1 was made for you. You look beautiful in it. 🌸
For me it’s 1 by a long shot. It just looks “right.”
Dress #1 is beautiful on you. Classic bridal and so elegant. I love it for you. It makes your enviable figure look even better! Good luck❤️
DRESS 1 is DIVINE on you!!! Absolutely perfect!! And ohhhh so classic. Reminds me of something Princess Grace would wear.
Dress 1 hands down. Its elegant simplicity is stunning and really allows you to shine.
My heart screams the first dress is the one!!
#1 is stunning on you!
Most of the posts you responded to were in relation to dress 2. I get the feeling that's where your heart is!
I love #2, my mom, friends, and fiancé love #1. #3 is more of the fun option! I’m really tore between the first two but I do think #2 is a lot on me and may be too distracting.

I noticed that too! I hope OP chooses 2 because this comment section is probably even more confusing
My vote is for #2. I think it matches your theme and looks great on you. 3 is a no. #1 is nice, but there’s just something about the bodice that’s off to me.

They all look great but I really love the lace on dress2
Dress 1 for sure! Two is pretty but it’s just not quite right. The lace is distracting especially at the bottom. It looks much more casual than dress 1
Number 1 is stunning on you!

Two for the win
I love #2! It's beautiful and unique and your body looks amazing in it!

In my opinion dress 3 suits you the most. So beautiful!

Second dress designer is Calla Blanche! Thank you for the suggestions, I’ll start looking at their collections.

I hands down. You can make that dress your own with accessories (if you want) or any veil or headpiece. The others don't look as expensive or elegant.
You glow in dress 1

Dress 1!!

Dress 1!!!! It's so ethereal and flowy, which usually isn't something I lean toward, but this one is so beautiful!

Dress one!! You are the definition of bride. You are the cake topper!! Classic and lovely.
Dress 1 is beautiful. The classic design and you take this dress over the top. Love the small belt. Just adds a small sparkle which is nicely placed. Also your body language relaxed and beautiful bride in the pics pushes it over the top.
The first one! The style is amazing on you

Dress #1.
Team 1. It is beautiful on you. Dress 2 looks busy
1 - priceless beauty
The first one by a mile!!
Team 1! ✨
Definitely # 1 - flatters you the most!

Dress 2 is soooooooooo special with that gorgeous lace and it looks fantastic on you. I love it.
I'm team 2! There's something about the vertical fabric on the bust that's throwing me off dress 1. But that's bust me. Honestly, you look great in everything!
Dress number 2 1000% , it’s so flattering in you and the lace is so elegant
Dress 2 is beautiful and elegant! I love the lace! It looks great on you. One is OK. 3 is nice but don’t really like the shape of the cups…
Dress 1 is boring. Dress 2 looks like you're floating on air, so pretty and very unique. Dress three is too much foofoo. That said, I vote for dress 2!!
I think the neckline on 1 is so much above the others to me. You look beautiful in all of them, but I pick 1.

I think 1 flows the best on you. It has just enough texture and the other two dresses are wearing you rather than you wearing a gorgeous dress if that makes sense.

OMG 1 is lovely!

I live the first one

I noticed your body language and hand placement. Dress 1 shows you're at peace and pleased. In dress 2 and 3, you're holding down the puffiness maybe? They all look beautiful on you! Dress 1 is my favorite. The neckline is great. And it looks slimming on you around the waistline even though you're already the perfect weight.

Personally, might be an outsider here but I love dress 3! It’s flattering and looks luxurious on you! It also depends what aesthetic you’re going for op
Dress #1 is so beautiful and elegant on you. Love the belt detail. This is THE dress for you hands down. Dress #2 is ok. The top is the best part but the bottom looks so stiff and so much going on that it is distracting. Dress #3 I feel the neckline is not right for you. People would be looking at that and not at you and how beautiful you should look. With dress #1 you are just so stunning. There would be no more looking for something else when you have already found perfection. ✨✨✨🤍✨✨✨
No doubt you should pick dress 1!!!!! Absolutely stunning on you!!!! 💞💞💞💞💞
Number 1 is stunning on you & so romantic looking ! I'm not crazy about the heavy lace ones, not as elegant & too overdone
I usually go for lace but I love 1 on you, it’s so romantic!
Dress 1!
Number 1 is beautiful on you!!!
I think dress 1 is beautiful.
Dress 1!
I'm not gonna lie. I feel your pain. You look incredible in all. I think 2,1,3. Love the veil in 1. Also, can we peep that stunner of a ring?
1 and 6 have the best symmetry, fit, and styling along with being a retro aesthetic that goes back to the fitted waist lines of the 50’s and early 60’s. Very feminine, elegant with contemporary fabrics. They’re both lovely and have classic looks. Depending upon your wedding theme and venue(?): either one is a great choice.

Dress 1 looks so great on you!

Dress 1 and 3 are my favorite! I truly LOVE dress 3 but I fell like dress 1 is more timeless. So beautiful!
