Which dress do you like the best for my wedding?

Question

So, I'm really loving the Maggie Grace Kelly wedding dress but I found this one from DaVinci Bridal and I was wondering what people think of it.

It's at http://www.davincibridal.com/pop_up.php?style=http://www.davincibridal.com/thumb.php?img=images/large%20thumb/8219FM.jpg&MAX_WIDTH=301&MAX_HEIGHT=418 I'm calling it the red pick-up skirt.

OR do you like this dress better. http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=Grace+Kelly&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=64&style=J135 This is the Grace Kelly dress.

I really want someting with short sleeves, long or tea length is fine. No stapless and no spaghetti straps. I'd be okay with tank sleves but prefer short sleeves. It's in July, so long sleeves won't work and no jackets or wraps because they add bulk and it would be too hot.

Answer 1

Both gowns are gorgeous, but I am drawn to he Da Vinci Bridal gown. It is elegant, beautiful, and reminds me of Audrey Hepburn (definitely a good thing!) If you stay with your original theme, that gown would be perfect.

Answer 2

Which fits your budget better?

I really like the Grace Kelly gown . . . but I believe you said it was a bit more than you had budgeted?

Why not consider something like this?

And it is on sale for $275.

Or maybe this one for $430?

If it is the red sash you like, how about this?

If you want the pick-up skirt, how about this?

You said the Grace Kelly gown looks wonderful on you.  So  why not look for that same silhouette, only in a gown that fits your budget?

Or . . . one can always consider having a talented seamstress make the gown.

Answer 3

well, you KNOW what I'm going to say, LOL :)  but I like the DaVinci dress too... is it a lot cheaper?  I'm not a big fan of "pick-up" skirts, but I do like the sweetheart neck-line, a lot!  

I saw a cute tea-length at Julius Bridal the other day - http://www.juliusbridal.com/product.asp?...

but it still is not as great as the "Grace Kelly" either... I just LOVE that dress!

Answer 4

The Grace Kelly is nice, but the DaVinci Bridal dress seems to have a better flow to it. I'm just not fond of A-line skirts that appear stiff.

Answer 5

The second one definitely, it's BEAUTIFUL!!!

Don't like the first pickup skirt thingee...

Answer 6

Definitely the Grace Kelly dress. It's absolutely beautiful.

Answer 7

The Grace Kelly is very pretty and classy

Answer 8

I prefer the first one

Answer 9

OMG, the "Grace Kelly" gown is exquisite!  I wish I had seen it when I was getting married.

Congrats, and God bless

Answer 10

The the Grace Kelly grown i love it i think you would be happy with it less bulky

Answer 11

I like the one with the red on it. It is so pretty and your pictures would look so elegant with the groom wearing a tux with the same color red accents. It would be a great dress to spin off your colors if you haven't already done so. It definitely stands out but is graceful and beautiful

The second is nice but ordinary in comparison

But the real question is which one makes you go wow- and even if you like it in a picture you may not like it on. Best advice try it on and you'll know. I had several picked out but when it came down to it I only loved one once I tried them on
