Please help me decide which (budget) wedding dress, photos attached.

Totally different but liking elements of them both but which one?

@minipie yes, I’ve looked at every one of them, again and again My dress was being sold on eBay for a ridiculous amount, that’s what made me bid for it and I won! It’s new, with tags and I still can’t quite believe I have it for such a steel. So the dress you linked to yes, I looked at it but it was out of my budget range.

I really need a spread sheet to better analyse your votes but alas, beautiful boho vintage looking, or net curtain nightie (depending on which way you viewed it) it is. I shall make it look beautiful (fingers crossed).

Thsts absolutely the right choice, it's beautiful and truly suits you

@74NewStreet sorry, my post was possibly misleading. I’m going for number 2. It really does look better in the flesh, honest.

Oh, I misread it, so sorry . I’m sure it’ll be lovely...

A bracelet? I have some rather lovely crystal ones.

@74NewStreet I felt for you but honestly, it’s fine. I’ll make sure I wear it well.

Number 2 even more so after seeing the Monsoon video of it.
Natural hair and flowers - you’ll look fab. Have a wonderful day.

Definitely the first one. The second one looks like a night dress and bed jacket from the 80s

Oh sorry crossed the post

I see you've chosen the 2nd one.

Love the second one OP. I agree no necklace but a bracelet would be fine - and you'll have a fab new ring to show off too! Have a fabulous time

I think you can easily wear a necklace with dress 2.

Something like this

Different lighting. Nails will be done, hair will be curled. Definitely no necklace? @Disfordarkchocolate I love the jewellery but price tag is too steep for me.

Looks beautiful.

Actually I think a simple necklace would work just fine.

The second one is lovely on you, and I’m so glad it’s what you’ve gone for.
You’re going to look lovely. Congratulations.

And dress will be altered

What time of year? I personally would be freezing in the first one, up until April. I had a similar dress to the second one and it snowed!! In April!! It was ok, just about. But I would have been very uncomfortable in the first dress.

The second one without a doubt.

@Catrescue1971 without giving too much away, Springtime.

So not too long

I think she does the necklace on its own. I have something similar in green and it's gorgeous. There may be similar but cheaper options too.

I love wedding threads.

You've definitely made the right decision it's beautiful. Not old fashioned in the slightest I love the vintage feel of it.
You look stunning in it

The second one is definitely the best choice then.

@Disfordarkchocolate I’ll have to take a look. Thanks for your suggestions though. Love that you love a wedding thread Can’t quite believe we’re finally doing this, we’ve been together for quite some time.

I mentioned on your last thread how pretty dress 2 is , great choice
And I’ve just noticed that dress is ‘trending’ on the monsoon website !
The power of mumsnet and your excellent choice
Have a fabulous wedding
