Two wedding gowns

[kierawhogives]

I tragically have two wedding dress- due to having a weekend wedding being revised for a covid wedding.

I cannot pick one. It's been in my closet for a year- and as plans have changed, I don't think I can wear both now due to having a small, short wedding.

Which dress do you think I should wear? Some friends are telling me to still wear both- i just can't be bothered, really.

Here are the pics

OP - I read your posts during a break from painting shelves and couldn't stop thinking about you so have come back to the pc to add my two pennyworth.

You don't need to decide right now (Winter is several months away) and really you shouldn't make that decision whilst you are clearly overwrought with worry about your father's ill health and disappointment with COVID modified wedding plans. ATM you can't think straight!

Both of those dresses are beautiful (not Boho at all, just less structured than some) and in either you will look fabulous provided you have a beaming smile on your face on your wedding day.

When you are in a calmer frame of mind you could:
a) toss a coin - your immediate reaction to the outcome of the coin-toss will tell you exactly which you prefer at your core.
b) model each of them for your father (without your mum present) and let him decide for you. If you can't see him in person do it all by video link.
c) take them both to the venue and wear one for the ceremony and photographs and the other for the meal and dancing.

Now back to the shelf painting!

I absolutely adore dress number 2 after seeing ‘Real Life Bride’ photos OP (I’m really not helping your decision at all 😂😂).

I can really understand your dilemma! They are both simply beautiful! I would ask your Dad to choose 🤷‍♀️ Ultimately, whichever one you end up in, you will look gorgeous 💓

Do let us know though won’t you? 👍

First one is gorgeous. Second Is not nice!

1st dress.

I can see why you would be disappointed but I am sure you will still enjoy your wedding day in a different way.

I think the first wedding dress with the sleeves is absolutely beautiful and really bridal - it has my vote for definitive.

Wishing you a lovely day and a long, healthy and happy marriage. ❤️

Hopefully you can take more joy in the dresses now that you know so many people love them. My dsis has been looking for a dress for her wedding this year and I think like another poster said dress 1 is exactly what she was looking for and couldn't find.

What about if you still have a weekend wedding and have a party for some friends on day 2 where you can where dress 2.

Sorry - wear not where

They are both beautiful and both can be worn in a covid wedding

More pics of the lace dress

They're gorgeous but I prefer 1.

More pics of the sleeveless dress from a French bride - I find her look simply gorgeous. Tho I will have long hair and no braid. But the simplicity of the dress is striking.

First one is the wedding dress, second can be for a different occasion- did you have that one made with less of a train too? You could dye it black and remove some of the underskirt and it’s a very lovely evening gown that you could style up / down and actually wear quite often

I'm afraid I'll regret choosing one. But feel utterly ridiculous wearing both to a small wedding. :(

Who's the designer OP? They're gorgeous

Take it down to its true significance:

The crux of it is, you want to wear both because they were gifts from your father, and you want him to see you wear them.

That’s not ridiculous.

You could always change for the evening or put the second one on as your “going away” outfit if you are spending the evening at a different location to your venue - lots of people do that and I think it’s lovely. Wear the 1st one for the day W our h hair up and the 2nd one for the evening with hair down! Why not? It’s YOUR day - do what makes you happy.

Are you 115 pounds or 9 stone?

The first one. Mainly because I really don't like the second one at all.

I'm 9 stone now.

So what! Be ridiculous. Be frivolous. You have 2 anyway.
Wear them both .

Op go with the first one, its beautiful and your wedding is your only chance to wear it. The other one you could wear to babies christening.

I totally get why you don't want to delay, and I'm sorry covid got in the way of your plans.

I would like to wear both due to them being from my father, tho I also feel ridiculous doing so

I am more worried I won't be able to hold myself together will my father being ill during the wedding and changing into another gown will probably upset me, as right now I don't think anything matters except his health and rushing to give him some time with a grandchild.

I'm clearly feeling a bit scatter brained at the moment. I'm hoping I will be better in a few weeks

Also feel a bit larger in the gowns - as I have been not eating well during the lockdown and working.

It seems rather silly during all of this to care about my weight gain, but it is just the worst thing to add on top of this.

Why not wear the first dress and take the second one and see how you feel on the day. That’s not a decision you need to make now. For today just choose one.
