Which dress

I'm getting married this year and am trying to decide on a dress and would like some opinions please!

I have narrowed it down to two dresses. I am quite broad shouldered so do like some sort of covering to mask them which is why I'm leaning towards the first dress. I love lace and am not keen on wearing huge dresses (they were so heavy!)

Both lovely, but I prefer the first one too. I'm not too sure about the lace 'wrap' on the second one.

my favourite is the 2nd one, very elegant and give a lovely shape

The first one seems to swomp the model, im my opinion there too much fabric for the size of the model if that makes any sense!

Have you got any pics of you in them u could put on ur profile?

First one nicer though neither my style. Don't like the bare shoulders of the second. Bare shoulders are hard to carry off unless you are super toned.

Thank you. I wasn't able to take any pictures of me trying them on unless I paid a deposit. My sister tried to sneak some but they weren't very good!!

You have all summed up my worries about them!! I prefer the first one but I love the shape of the second one too.

Something that is swaying me is the first one is a fair bit cheaper in the shop as it's last season! And even cheaper still online-has anyone ever bought a wedding dress online?

I think I need to keep looking and I really appreciate your views.

First one is much better, particularly if you have concerns about broad shoulders.
