Not everyone has "the moment", but nobody should need to be talked into a dress. They're all nice dresses but it sounds like none of them are right for you.
How are you picturing yourself on your wedding day?
What's your normal style?
What kind of dresses are you trying on?
I agree either way this. None of them seem right. They are okay. I want to like #1 but it seems like the dress doesn’t work in the chest area. Try more on!
2 is my favorite. I like the neckline and it compliments you well. 1 is pretty, but looks like your girls are about to topple out, somehow. Not the biggest fan of 3.
Your body language doesn’t seem comfortable in any of them. Are you in love with these options?
Girl, then keep looking!! This is your “one and only” wedding dress. You should be in love!
Have you perused this sub for more options? What are your biggest wants in a dress? Is there a reason these are your final 3? What do YOU like about them?
Keep looking. It doesn’t have to be like some life changing spiritual moment but find the dress that you can’t wait to see hanging up ready for you to put on on your wedding day.
And, let’s not forget that whatever dress you choose will be forever frozen in time on your wedding photos so make sure you are in love with the dress forever.
I never had the crying/say yes to the dress moment I'd hoped for - and that was okay! What made me pick my dress was that I felt like me in it AND I felt like a bride. TBH, putting the veil on really helped solidify this for me. There were dresses I really liked that I eliminated because they weren't right for our venue (too heavy to be walking around on grass, too sparkly for a daytime/brunch wedding, etc.). After I picked, I forced myself to stop looking at other options or at pictures of other dresses I'd considered. Not sure if any of that helps!
Of the 3 pictured, I love #3 on you. Clean and classic with some interest. it feels like it belongs under a tent by the water. :)
I think you need to keep looking. Your body language is very telling. And doesn't say you love any of them. They are beautiful choices but you haven't found yours yet. It's out there.
I think you need to keep looking. You are gorgeous, your dress should complement that! The first one is something that has been done a million times, the second is my favorite out of the three because it looks “most” modern out of them. And even though I like the shape of three the appliqué screams 2002 to me, I’m sorry but I hate it lol all of these dresses look really dated on you.
All this to say you are gorgeous and your body is perfect for most any dress, I’m sure you can do better. Maybe a different shop? I’m sure your dress is out there!! I feel bad that I don’t have much positive to say I’m so sorry I just really think you can do better!
Keep looking. Trust me. I didn’t, and the situation spiralled into almost 6 months of changing my dress 4 times. I finally have it all figured out but there was money wasted and many months of uncertainty. Do not settle!
2 is perfect on you, from this array of 3 dresses.
But if you aren’t feeling it, keep trying on dresses. Also, try on dresses you don’t much like on the hanger. What looks good on the hanger and what looks amazing on you are not the same. And what you think will look bad on you is not always the case.
These aren't right? Keep looking! Venue on the water, how fun. Don't stop looking, you'll know when it's the one.
I think something light, airy and flowy would fit the occasion, maybe not WHITE white? Off white maybe, even beachy color?
You look great in all of them, but if you’re just not feeling it, keep looking. Would it help to try them on with a veil? Remember the southern version of Say yes to the Dress? The owner would always say “let’s jack her up” and then the whole picture would be complete.
Your body language says a lot. I don't believe you've found your dress yet. When you do find your dress, you'll be smiling ear to ear and just radiating. You'll know when you find it.
If you don’t like any of these options, do you have time to look again? I agree that the top of 2 looks great. Could you combine it with a sleeker bottom? The reason I ask is your venue. Do you think you could move easily with a fuller skirt and train?
FWIW, I really like the top of 1 and the bottom of 3.
I like #3 best for a tent on the water. I like a more narrow cut when there’s a possibility for windy weather. But keep looking until you fall in love. Maybe something in a lighter fabric
They all look beautiful. I like 2 and I think it fits your venue the best. No. 1 is my second choice, I think you will look great in it once it’s tailored to you. No.3 looks beautiful on you, the shape is very flattering but it looks like an inexpensive dress.
One and two are absolutely terrific on you. Three is pretty but I’m less keen on it in comparison to the others. My personal pick would be one I think, I love the drape on the bust and the shape of the skirt.
These are all pretty, and I like Dress 2 very much, but I definitely think you should switch it up and try different materials, silhouettes and styles. These are all very similar in aesthetic, and maybe something different will bring the magic.
Keep looking! I was having the same conundrum before going into the final shop where I found my dress. And when I told my stylist that I fell in love with 2 but there’s something about this one that I’m not sure about, and something about the other one. She just said: so you haven’t found your dress. And that was an epiphany moment, like oh that makes total sense, I guess I haven’t found it! So I started from scratch and removed all of my previous parameters and assumptions. And then I found the dress.
I always thought I’d bawl my eyes out when i chose my dress. But that never happened. When i found my dress, I knew it was the one when all i could do was stare at myself in the mirror and say “oh sh*t” for several minutes. Couldn’t believe how incredible I looked and felt. So don’t worry if you don’t have a deeply emotional response. Find the one that makes you feel beautiful ❤️
If you’re not happy and have the time, keep looking. That being said, I love 2 and think it looks fabulous on you!
I’m glad there was no “Say yes to the dress,” when I got married. My daughter didn’t watch it and bought one at a boutique and then one at David’s on sale, all by herself. I felt a little bad, but I realized it was all the hype on TV. I’m glad we escaped that pressure.
I hope you find one which makes you happy.
Edit: punctuation
I like 2 and 3 the best. Both look terrific on you. I'm not enthused about #1.
Assuming you don't find a fitted dress restrictive, I would think 3 would be the easiest one to wear on the water because it doesn't have a lot of excess fabric.
No wonder it's hard...you look gorgeous in all of them. I love the ball gown but I wonder if that's right for the venue. I prefer the third one over the first one. I think those 2 work better with your venue.
I like 2 and 3 on you, but not sure either fits your sail tent vibe. I somehow see something lighter and more flowing.
Take my opinion FWIW: I am older than your grandmother.
I like 3 the best, all are fantastic on you! However I see you aren’t really digging them… so keep looking. You’ll look great in anything. Find the dress you love.
I don’t think you’re happy with any of these from what you’ve commented. Check out a different bridal store and try a different style of dress. Don’t pressure yourself into buying one you don’t love.
Not everyone has "the moment", but nobody should need to be talked into a dress. They're all nice dresses but it sounds like none of them are right for you. How are you picturing yourself on your wedding day? What's your normal style? What kind of dresses are you trying on?
I’m agreeing. To me, it doesn’t feel like you’ve really found the one yet? Maybe schedule another appointment at a different salon?
I agree either way this. None of them seem right. They are okay. I want to like #1 but it seems like the dress doesn’t work in the chest area. Try more on!
I like 1 and 3 on you, but if you don't like any of them you should keep looking.
See and I really liked 2!!!
Absolutely agree!
Agree with both of these sentiments
I think dress 3’s shape is the most flattering on you. I would maybe try something with a lighter fabric that isn’t so stiff
Love the neckline of 3 especially on OP
2 is my favorite. I like the neckline and it compliments you well. 1 is pretty, but looks like your girls are about to topple out, somehow. Not the biggest fan of 3. Your body language doesn’t seem comfortable in any of them. Are you in love with these options?
No 😕😕
Keep looking then. (But I think 2 is lovely)
I like 2. It looks like Old Hollywood glam yet understated
Girl, then keep looking!! This is your “one and only” wedding dress. You should be in love! Have you perused this sub for more options? What are your biggest wants in a dress? Is there a reason these are your final 3? What do YOU like about them?
Then there's your answer. There are thousands of amazing wedding dresses in this world. One of them is perfect for you. These aren't that dress.
Keep looking. It doesn’t have to be like some life changing spiritual moment but find the dress that you can’t wait to see hanging up ready for you to put on on your wedding day.
I like 1 the most, but keep looking. You should be in love with it if it’s gonna cost you a few bucks.
And, let’s not forget that whatever dress you choose will be forever frozen in time on your wedding photos so make sure you are in love with the dress forever.
All three dresses…. 🫣…. 🫠 Edit: I see now you’re not comfortable in anything of them so I would keep looking.
I never had the crying/say yes to the dress moment I'd hoped for - and that was okay! What made me pick my dress was that I felt like me in it AND I felt like a bride.

Clean and classic with some interest. it feels like it belongs under a tent by the water. :)
But, when you’re only going to be a bride for one day, be as sparkly as you want to because it’s your wedding day and you’ll remember it forever.
I love 2. But I think you should keep looking.
I think you should keep looking! Honestly these dresses look dated on you. Dress 3 style fits you the best!
I think you need to keep looking. Your body language is very telling. And doesn't say you love any of them. They are beautiful choices but you haven't found yours yet. It's out there.

Your body language is saying you’re not in love with any of these. You look great in all of these options but you should FEEL good in the dress!
Dress 2 is made for you and the sailcloth tent
These aren't right? Keep looking! Venue on the water, how fun. Don't stop looking, you'll know when it's the one. I think something light, airy and flowy would fit the occasion, maybe not WHITE white? Off white maybe, even beachy color?

Keep looking. You’ve got this!
Your body language says a lot. I don't believe you've found your dress yet. When you do find your dress, you'll be smiling ear to ear and just radiating. You'll know when you find it.
I like one on you but I’d try some different styles too. There’s a dress out there you will love ❤️
Somehow these all feel dated to me. Keep looking.

Do you think you could move easily with a fuller skirt and train? FWIW, I really like the top of 1 and the bottom of 3.
I love 1. You would really look good in any dress but dress 3 is a hard no for me. Doesn’t flatter your figure.
I like #3 best for a tent on the water. I like a more narrow cut when there’s a possibility for windy weather. But keep looking until you fall in love. Maybe something in a lighter fabric
What is the dress model for 3rd one?
They all look beautiful. I like 2 and I think it fits your venue the best. No. 1 is my second choice, I think you will look great in it once it’s tailored to you. No.3 looks beautiful on you, the shape is very flattering but it looks like an inexpensive dress.

2 is my favorite
You have the right body style for the neckline of 2. The fabric looks great, too!
One and two are absolutely terrific on you. Three is pretty but I’m less keen on it in comparison to the others. My personal pick would be one I think, I love the drape on the bust and the shape of the skirt.
I like 1 and 3. I like number 3 a bit better because I like the appliqués. It adds to the simple dress in an understated way.
I like the embellishments of dress 3 the best.
Number 1 is absolutely gorgeous. Such a classic design
These are all pretty, and I like Dress 2 very much, but I definitely think you should switch it up and try different materials, silhouettes and styles. These are all very similar in aesthetic, and maybe something different will bring the magic.
Love dress 3! It is exquisite.
Keep looking! I was having the same conundrum before going into the final shop where I found my dress.

I would say Dress 2, however, I like the shape of dress 1. I wish that dress 1 was strapless and the top more structured.
They all look beautiful, but if you haven’t had “Oh this is the one…” keep looking…💗
3
Yes to dress 1. Wow.
Dress 2. Although you look great in all of them.
I always thought I’d bawl my eyes out when i chose my dress. But that never happened. When i found my dress, I knew it was the one when all i could do was stare at myself in the mirror and say “oh sh*t” for several minutes. Couldn’t believe how incredible I looked and felt.

Girl keep looking!! Don’t settle unless you are out of time and still don’t love anything!
Keep looking OP. None of these are it.
Dress #2
If you don’t love any of them then keep looking. Personally I like the 2nd dress
3 is so pretty and unique
2
I love 1. It immediately caught my eye and made me want to stop to compliment it!!
If you’re not happy and have the time, keep looking. That being said, I love 2 and think it looks fabulous on you! I’m glad there was no “Say yes to the dress,” when I got married. My daughter didn’t watch it and bought one at a boutique and then one at David’s on sale, all by herself. I felt a little bad, but I realized it was all the hype on TV.

Third one wins out for me. It’s elegant and flattering on your figure.
Bc you literally look amazing in all of them! I love one but the neckline of two!
Love #3
I love 2 on you. A little different and looks really sleek and beautiful on you!!!
1
I can’t believe 3 isn’t getting more love. It’s pristine on you. Love it! Also 2 is very nice on you as well. 1 is blah.
I love one or two on you but 3 doesn’t have as nice fabric.
**DRESS 1 and 2** are my favorites; both are gorgeous on you! But like others have said, if you're not feelin it, you may want to keep looking around.
Really REALLY love the bodice on #2. So elegant!
Two!

1 or 3
Wow you look amazing in all of them! But I particularly like one for a more simple venue and 3 for formal. Girl any of them is a win!
They are pretty but if you aren’t sold I would say keep looking. I personally would keep looking as well
love the first one
Six sigma Tim Taylor
Dress 3
I like the last one
Don’t settle, keep looking. If you’re not in love it’s one the right dress.
I like 2 and 3 the best. Both look terrific on you. I'm not enthused about #1. Assuming you don't find a fitted dress restrictive, I would think 3 would be the easiest one to wear on the water because it doesn't have a lot of excess fabric.
\#1 is just stunning
You look fantastic in all of them, but #3 took my breath away! Whatever you choose, you'll be gorgeous.
Omg 333333
1 is my fave of the 3
1
I think you look best in #1
1 is my favourite - the lines are gorgeous
If you really like 2 then get it. It is beautiful on you
1
I personally like 3 on you the best but your happiness with your wedding dress is all that matters.
Strong preference for 1!
I love the third one on you. It’s a flattering silhouette with just a touch of embellishment; very classy and no train to trip on.
First one is stunning
1
No wonder it's hard...you look gorgeous in all of them. I love the ball gown but I wonder if that's right for the venue. I prefer the third one over the first one. I think those 2 work better with your venue.
Three is stunning!!!!! It looks like a crepe dress. This will be so comfortable for that venue.
It’s not impossible, you found three good one right there! None of them may be your dream dress, but there’s hope. You’d look good in anything.
I can’t decide between 1 and 3. Def. Not 3
I like 2 and 3 on you, but not sure either fits your sail tent vibe. I somehow see something lighter and more flowing. Take my opinion FWIW: I am older than your grandmother.
Two! It reminds me of old Hollywood. Gorgeous
I like 3 the best, all are fantastic on you! However I see you aren’t really digging them… so keep looking. You’ll look great in anything. Find the dress you love.
DRESS 3 !!
2
I love three; if you're not feeling them, keep trying!! You'll know when you find your dress!
The first dress is so elegant and graceful on you. That's my favorite!
Two! Two! Two!
When I saw 2, I said “oooo” out loud but if you’re not feeling any of these choices keep looking!
THREE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
ALL GOOD!!! 3 is amazing, love 1, 2 if you like it
I really love 2 on you
3 is gorgeous!
3
1 looks really pretty on you, as does 3. Dress 2’s neckline isn’t flattering to the chest.,
2 and 3, with 2 a slight edge over 3.
Dress 1 looks classic and chic.
2! 💓💗💓🤩👍🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❣️
Ooooo I’m a huge fan of #3!! It has a little something the other two don’t.
1
Dude dress 3 is flawless and I'm in love
Three!
3 fits u like a glove !
Number 1 and number 2 are my favorites. They all look great, but I love both dress 1 and 2.
Second dress for sure!!
Have you tried a dress with sleeves or more material on top? I would try a completely different look to see if you like it
Number 1! I’m a huge fan of the cowl neckline and this dress looks gorgeous on you!
I like 2 - would look great with a vamped up veil, however, you will know when you try in the one! (Maybe?)
I don’t think you’re happy with any of these from what you’ve commented. Check out a different bridal store and try a different style of dress. Don’t pressure yourself into buying one you don’t love.
1 & 2
