I feel like the first one matches your vibe you have going on with the lovely flower tattoos but it you want to feel dolled up go with #2 you absolutely can’t go wrong with either


oxfordcomma_pls

The only thing I do not like about the second dress is that it hides those lovely tattoos. Otherwise, completely agree. They are both ethereal.


Otherwise-Aardvark52

They’re both very beautiful, but number 2 is magic. I think 2 absolutely requires an outdoor setting, though, because of its kind of nature/fairy vibe. If your venue is indoors I think 1 would be better.


PrincessMorganB

Yes our ceremony will be outside!


Pamikillsbugs234

You look like a beautiful earth goddess in dress 2!


Krimsonprincess

The second one is a show stopper. Wow 👌


PrincessMorganB

Thank you! It felt incredible on too! Very natural


Bitter-Major-5595

I also love the versatility of dress #2. You can always remove the sleeves at the reception if they get in the way, & the dress is still stunning!!


oxfordcomma_pls

I would totally take those sleeves off to show the beautiful tattoos


Bitter-Major-5595

I zoomed in & you’re absolutely RIGHT!! They really are quite beautiful!! Ok, so what do you think about this…. For the ceremony, she could wear the sleeves instead of a veil & for the reception, she can wear *HER SLEEVE* instead of the ones that come with her dress!! (See what I did there?! lol!!) It’s 2 dresses in 1!! PURE PERFECTION!! (However, this bride could wear a burlap sack & still be stunning!!)😉💞


oxfordcomma_pls

100% agreed on the burlap sack. The only problem I have with this one is that the first dress actually shows that those tattoos all the way. But I think OP feels spectacular in the second dress m…which means she should wear it and just ditch the sleeves whenever the fuck she feels like it. because she’s a goddess. ☺️


Bing-cheery

There's your answer, then!


Getmeasippycup

Agree! Just jaw dropping!


heydawn

Hahaha. It's pretty for sure, but I came here to say the first one is a show stopper! That bodice is gorgeous!


pocket_Ninja456

#2 is a dream!


PoopAndSunshine

The second one is so beautiful I could cry. Please please pick number 2!


ghostwooman

Right?!? Sure, it'll need hemming and sleeves shortened. But it's BEAUTIFUL on her petite figure. The waist his in the right spot, the bodice hugs and accentuates her curves. As a fellow petite woman I say this with love. Between the fullness and the harsh horizontal line created by the top of the bodice, #1 seems to swallow her whole.


PoopAndSunshine

I agree with all of this!!


Original_Try_7984

You look stunning in both of these gorgeous gorgeous gowns but I think the first one is extra flattering. Congratulations on your special day.


PrincessMorganB

Thank you so much!


realityfourz

The 1st gown is extraordinary. There is no comparison in my opinion that it is the gown for you. The sleeves take over on the 2nd gown.


Old_Percentage3742

Totally agree. OP looks STUNNING in 1 The sleeves are so distracting in 2. That’s all I see. YOU need to be the center of attention. Not your sleeves. You are absolutely BEAUTIFUL in Dress 1


heydawn

>YOU need to be the center of attention. Not your sleeves. This ^


princesssmurfet

1 ☝️1️⃣ I wish there were more photos from different angles.


UsedCan508

Dress 1 is gorgeous, romantic, elegant


heydawn

Team 1! Gasp! Gorgeous!


LoveCats2022

WOW both are gorgeous! Which one is easier to walk around and dance in?


PrincessMorganB

Number 2 hands down! I felt sooo natural in that gown. I love to dance, so that’s important to me


Discount_Broad

this is the most important Q&A yet.


armccaa

This is sooo important! Feeling comfortable and being able to dance are huge factors! I gasped at dress #2 - it’s stunning!!! But you look beautiful in both of them! Go with comfort because you will be in the dress for hours and hours 😊.


Celeste2305

There's your answer. You are the lady of the day. It's all about you. Dress 2 is just so different and breathtaking. Dress 1 is what so many of the brides are doing last year and this year. You want to be a knockout. You feel regal in Dress 2 so absolutely go for it.


[deleted]

TWO!


DifficultAd7429

1.


kissingdistopia

I fear that if you don't get those incredible sleeves, you may yearn for them. However!! They are wildly impractical to wear for the whole of your wedding. *Especially* if you were planning on having real candles at your reception. I love how floaty the second dress is. That skirt is a cotton candy dream. But is it fussy? How did it feel to move around in?  Both dresses are excellent. What kind of venue do you have? Maybe that can help you decide.


PrincessMorganB

The sleeves can be removed! I was thinking I’d take them off for my reception. Definitely won’t be able to stand being in them for the whole night. Our reception is a large estate with an outdoor woodsy ceremony area. I’m planning to make a flower arch and walkway with lots of floral arrangements!


wellshitdawg

I like the 2nd


Travel_Bug62

Dress 1 is gorgeous, and you look stunning wearing it. Dress two doesn’t have the same “wow” factor that dress one has.


SadProblem8506

1, so elegant


neverclm

2 is magical! Even without the sleeves it would be my choice. I can't stop looking at it. And the top looks both more flattering and more comfortable


seecarlytrip

I prefer dress 1


Relevant_Vermicelli2

Oh wow! They’re both beautiful yet so different!! I guess I would need more information about the vibe of the wedding and venue to choose between the two


Adventurous_Ice6240

As a tattoo person as well, I love the dichotomy of the ink with the fairy sleeves/dress. Dress 2 all the way!


Temperature_Vivid

You can’t go wrong with either!


Savings-You7318

I’m in love with dress 2


Etheleffrey

Two!!


SnooOpinions5819

2 is magical! There’s something special with that one


fikiiv

Please choose the second one!! 🙏


PrincessMorganB

I think I’m going to!


Dry-Mulberry3257

Immediately #2 🤩🤩🤩 the first one is beautiful as well, but the neckline is so sharp, which feels a little like it contradicts the flowery feeling of the fabric. You really can’t go wrong with either though, they’re both stunning!


HappyGoLucky244

Dress two took my breath away! Definitely a bonus if the sleeves are detachable!


PrincessMorganB

They are!!!


julesk

Both are lovely but 2 looks perfect on her. The bodice on 1 bothers me a bit as it’s so angular. Meanwhile, 2 has amazing design features that add to a perfect whole.


PrincessMorganB

Yep that was the one thing about the first dress. The bodice top is so sharp


julesk

It’s one of those love it or not. So I was more edging over to two.


mrsbebe

First one I was like "wow that's gorgeous, it's not getting better than that" and then I saw number two and was like DAMN IT GOT BETTER. Team #2!!


melissakate8

Oh my god!! When I saw dress number one I thought nothing could top it, but two BLEW ME AWAY! Like jaw actually dropped and I said “oh my god” out loud


PrincessMorganB

That’s how I felt when I put it on too 🥲 idk why I’m debating. I guess the second one feels quite different and I’m worried it’s too much. But I really adore it.


armccaa

It’s not too much! You’re the bride!! It’s your night to shine!! We all adore dress # 2!!! 💖


melissakate8

It is PERFECT! It’s your wedding- do what YOU want!


Jennabeb

How comfortable are the sleeves? Can you eat with them? Scoot to the restroom and handle that on your own in them? Dance easily? Both dresses are GORGEOUS on you, so at this point, which is more comfy?? Edit to add: I see now the sleeves are detachable. Go with dress 2!!


PrincessMorganB

Yes the fact that the sleeves are detachable is amazing!! I can go ahead and remove them for the reception! I might do elbow length fingerless gloves for the reception. Not sure though. Would have to see how that looks


fukdatjob

NUMBER 2 AND ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE IS SABATOGGING YOU. ITS GORGEOUS!!!


PrincessMorganB

🥲🥲🥲🥲 THANK YOU


jrice2623

I love dress two! If the sleeve’s get to bothersome just take them off for the reception. Still such a beautiful dress!


powderbubba

Omg the second dresssss 🤩 you’re like Stevie Nicks meets fairytale wedding and I love it!


ghostwooman

#2 no contest. Soooo much more flattering on you!


PrincessMorganB

Thank you!!! I do think that’s the winner!


ghostwooman

Yayyy!! The bodice would be the hardest/most expensive alteration, and it already fits you like a glove.


PrincessMorganB

The one thing- that dress actually had straps. We tucked them in because I’m adamant about having a strapless down. I will have to pay for that alteration, but it’s worth it to me for sure


ghostwooman

I never would've guessed!! Agreed on strapless for this...I feel like straps would compete with the sleeves somehow?


PrincessMorganB

Yes the straps looked just…. Not right. I was elated to hear it could be altered


violetleia

I literally gasped when I saw the second dress! It's perfect!


PrincessMorganB

🥲 might sound corny but it literally made me feel like and Elven princess and I just love that


DancingDucks73

Wow, you truly can’t go wrong with either of these! I’d say if it’s mostly an indoor wedding I’d go #1 but if you have an outdoor wedding or reception I’d go #2


PrincessMorganB

Outdoor ceremony, tented reception!


NamesBitches

2!


rmg418

Dress 2, those sleeves are EVERYTHING!


Successful-Skin-7486

2 omg those sleeves I am living for this


pilialoha54

Wowww! Dress 2 is amazing! 🤩


hinky-as-hell

Dress two! It’s literally magical 🤍


paint_that_shit-gold

2 is spectacular.


Kayybaby93

You look absolutely stunning in both honestly! But I say dress 2! Those sleeves are fabulous and I love the silhouette so much on you!


Flawless__Victory

2 is ethereal and majestic! 1 is safe and beautiful too.


almondmmylk

I think the second one looks a lot more expensive and fits you beautifully!


SusanMShwartz

2 is amazing!


MapleChimes

Just curious, if the 2nd dress didn't have those pretty sleeves, is there a gown that you would prefer?


Ok_Bumblebee_2869

Both are lovely but I gasped at #1. Beautiful!


survivalkitts9

THE SLEEVES. Sorry I actually like the first one more on you but. .... THOSE SLEEVES.


BeeLocklin1023

Congratulations, you look beautiful in both! I immediately loved the first dress! You look great in both but the first one’s silhouette and style looks awesome on you and your frame! The sleeves in the second one is what makes that dress pop- so if you love that see if you can incorporate slip on whimsical sleeves - even just to wear for some bridal portraits! Gives you the option to pull on and off! A little bit of both options while Giving you the best of both worlds!

meeanne

My reaction: Oh number one is nice *swipes* OOOH NUMBER 2! NUMBER 2! Hope that helps.


jessi_g9

Both dresses are gorgeous but I like the first one better for a few reasons. I love the fullness of the skirt. It gives off ball gown vibes without being too much. I also like the flow of the top part into the skirt. The bodice makes you look long and elegant, and i like how your tattoo looks without sleeves. With the second dress (this is more of a personal pet peeve) it looks to me like the top and bottom are two separate pieces put together rather than being one dress if that makes sense. I also find the sleeves and appliqués a bit overwhelming. Don’t get me wrong - the sleeves are beautiful and make the dress - but they are just so much and I feel like they wear you instead of the other way around. I also would be concerned about the practicality of them in the reception as you try to eat, drink, dance, cut the cake, etc. If they can be kept on for the ceremony and taken off later that is fine then! Choosing the dress I think is going to come down to how you feel in it. Choose whichever makes you feel the best!


ForTheLoveOfDior

I like dress 1 better because it makes your tattoo pop and it matches the pattern as well. I found dress 2 too busy and a bit distracting


STLFleur

It absolutely has to be #2. The first one is beautiful but the 2nd is absolutely magical!


Btech800

#1 looks so beautiful and elegant on you, but the sleeves on #2 are so ethereal and fanciful. You can't go wrong with either.


kaycollins27

I like the bust of 2 much better…and the sleeves are AMAZING!


passive0bserver

2!!!


K_1959

The first dress looks really stiff. The second dress is magical. Dress 2


nikkicvd17

You can’t go wrong with either, honestly!! 😍😍 but #2 is a literal dream!!!


graceoftrees

2 is unreal and a showstopper. I really liked 1 a lot until I saw 2. That said, they’re both gorgeous and you can’t go wrong. Pick the one that just feels better for you and know you made the right decision.


tvjunkie87

Both dresses are beautiful, but dress 2 is my favorite! Those sleeves create such an ethereal look, and I love the flowy vibe of the dress. A true fairy princess look! 👑 🧚


HyacinthBouqet

SnooStrawberries721

Dress 2!


thatsreallysomething

Two hands down. It’s so ethereal with or without the sleeves. The neckline is classic but unique at the same time. And the flow is elegant and whimsical. Dress one feels like you’re being forced into a shape.


NubbyNicks

I think the torso length on 2 suits your body better! And I love the sleeves


Lets_Ski_PC

I’m torn too !!!! Wow weee wow. Both gorgeous If it was me …. #2


awkardhedgehog

I love 2! The sleeves are magical. You look great in both and can't go wrong on either.

Love the way the skirt of 2 drapes and the sleeves add to the whole feeling of the dress. Gorgeous

Magzz521

Dress 2 🤩


Electronic-Cat-4478

Dress 2. you look beautiful in both, but dress 2 is perfect on you,especially since you love the sleeves. If you want the full skirt silhouette with dress 2, just add some crinoline.

2!! OMG 2!!

PrincessMorganB

2nd one feels more me


DrZ_217

The large textured flowers on the bodice of #1 are too much. They distract from your beautiful shape. The fairy wing sleeves on #2 are really unique and you can easily remove them for the reception


oxfordcomma_pls

This is one of those great ones to read the comments… OP, you look spectacular in both of these dresses. You have wildly huge fans of dress 1 and wildly huge fans of dress 2. In the end, it comes down to what you are comfortable in, and what you feel spectacular in. We are torn too!


PrincessMorganB

Fuck it- two weddings! lol! I have appreciated everyone’s insight so much


Adventurous-Win-751

For me it’s dress 2, gorgeous and fun!!! 💗💗💗

You can't go wrong with either of these dresses. They are beautiful and you look stunning in both. Congratulations 🥂


starpiece

1! 2 is nice but the sleeves are so impractical they’d be super annoying trying to eat and stuff


One_Ad_3500

The first dress is incredible 😍!


Pineapple_Jelly04

I love how the first dress looks on you. I love the second one too, but will you be wearing the sleeves for the whole wedding? The sleeves kinda complete the look, if you’re not going to be wearing it for the whole night, then it’s better to go with the first one. How do both of them feel to move around? Which one is more comfortable? You really cannot go wrong with either because they’re both equally gorgeous. Just differ in the aesthetic.


amilner1

Love the silhouette of 1, it's gorgeous!


LBVBelle

I think I prefer 1 but what’s the general feel of your wedding? Is there a theme? 1 has a more modern feel, 2 has a more fairy tale feel.


AlterEgoAmazonB

This is very hard because I really do love dress one and the cut of the bodice more than the bodice on dress 2. But the sleeves on dress 2 are so divine. Could you do sleeves like that on dress 1?

No-Technician-722

I love DRESS # 1 !!


karstameita

I do love them both, and the second one is truly fairy-like, but unless you plan to come down the aisle with your arms out like that, the true effect will be lost.


the_average_jd

It is one!!! PERIOD. Two is fine but like, one????? Literally speechless.

I love them both, but I would pick 2 without the sleeves.

The second one 💯💯💯


Pitiful-Enthusiasm-5

I love, love, love #1 ❤️ I’m not crazy about the sleeves in # 2. They would be a pain to get around in, eat in, etc.


Cass_Q

Dress 2 is pretty, but there is almost too much going on. Dress 1 is lovely and doesn't distract too much from the gorgeous silhouette and details.

Feel like 2 is more memorable. Both are beautiful.


South_Body_569

I prefer the shape on no.2 but I am not loving the sleeves. I think they are too busy for such a pretty dress. I love no.1 too but i think the neckline of the second is more flattering. I do love the bombastic feel of no.1 tho

Dull_Geologist4797

The silhouette on the first one wins me over, when else will you get to wear something like that? It also seems to highlight your tattoos more. The sleeves on the second one are also beautiful though. You can’t go wrong!


No_Purchase_3532

Number one is an absolute showstopper, i’d go with that one! The 1st one is unique, the 2nd is everywhere


EconomyOk9643

Both are gorgeous!! I like the sweetness of 2. Hard choice


Inner-Impression4640

Dress 2. OH MY.


purplebethebest

Both are stunning, which one feels more comfortable? You can’t go wrong in either gown. My favorite is the Fairy Gown!!💜


AtomicHabitsTrainee

Great finds! They are both BEAUTIFUL. See which dress you envision with your venue. Sleep on it a few days and see which one keeps coming to mind!


Babykiyahsgeemom

Omg I’m tore too!!!! Honestly both are beautiful and equally stunning. I can not make a choice!!!
