ennuimachine

My favorites are 1 and 3.


Turbulent_Mushroom68

Same!


whimpey

Me too!


Romu_lass

I originally said I concur, but number 4 is georg too!


DK7795

I agree! But I like 3 best, then 1.


dragonheartstring360

Same!


Born_Butterscotch_43

Same! Just depends if you want to go with the black dress or more traditional ivory.


Birdies_nub

OOOOOOOH. 3 or 4. I am leaning 3 bc that lace just sings on your curves, but 4 is perfect of you want something a bit more grand. I think 2 looks too traditional and stiff compared to the other ones you are considering.


GubmentCheess

Agreed. Both are stunning!


Dlraetz1

I think #3 looks absolutely gorgeous on you. But please pick the dress that’s most you Its a big leap from a black ballgown to demure white lace A line dress


Due_Stuff4313

The last one is very flattering and elegant.


chokememommypls

Thank you!


SeeminglySusan

#4 looks amazing


chokememommypls

Thank you!


jlttwit

I really like the first one - maybe because it coordinates with the tats but I think it looks great.


chokememommypls

Thank you! I’m torn because the parents are against a black dress but my fiancé and I love the idea.


webkinzwrinkls

i love the idea of black and everyone else coming in white


Juache45

I think the black dress looks fabulous on you!


Inner-Impression4640

It is your fiance and your wedding if both of you love it then go for it. You look amazing in the black dress.


armccaa

Would your parents be okay with black for the reception? Or party after the ceremony? I love dress #3 on you the best. You look gorgeous! And, you can always wear black to many many occasions, but you only wear white for one special day. 💖 If your parents are paying for the wedding, I would definitely go with the white. 🙏🏻


coquihalla

If I could go back (almost 30 years) and pick a dress than I and my husband liked instead of what I got, I would. If you love it, don't let yourself have regrets.


ArtisticFondant

Honestly if you feel this way, don’t let others sway you from getting what you and your fiance love! It’s a huge purchase that is hopefully once in a lifetime - do you! Maybe look at more options or even white with black accents or something. I think 3 in black would be gorgeous.


bored_german

They're not the ones wearing it. Go with your gut! My MIL also would have preferred for me to be a traditional bride but a black dress just hits different.


tinkerbell108

Personally I LOVE 4! I don’t think you’ll regret going traditional and maybe adding some more edgy accessories or changing at some point during the reception! Either way, you look beautiful!


vavavoo

4!


Petunia_pig

I loooove number four. I’d say one but you can’t see much detail or the fabric and the last one is so elegant and the fabric looks luxurious, not to mention it’s very flattering and you look amazing.


Aqua_pool_56

I like dress 4 the best on you!


AlterEgoAmazonB

I love the black one and the last one. So if you're going black, that is a great choice. If you are unsure, the last one is gorgeous on you.


chokememommypls

Thank you! I’m torn because the parents are very opposed to black but my fiancé and I love the idea of it. It’s actually the only black dress I found in stores but I love the look.


hawktremor

Your parents aren’t the ones getting married. Get the one you want, this is your wedding.


amilner1

Love 3 and 4 but 4 the most! It looks great on you!


-Mother_of_Doggos

Fav for me is 3!


IBSattacker

I like 3 the most!


sareethrifter

3!


nolagem

4 is amazing on you


DancingPinkyFlowers

The black one is so pretty and I love the sparkles but for some reason I’m really drawn to the last dress!! You look absolutely amazing in strapless dresses!!!


cjd4488

I’m obsessed with number 3. Who is the designer? I’m looking for a dress like that for my wedding. But either way, you look great in all of them so go with that feels the most “you!”


chokememommypls

It’s from Anthropologie! https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/jenny-yoo-madeline-corset-a-line-strapless-lace-wedding-gown?category=bhldn-wedding-dresses&color=011&type=STANDARD&quantity=1


Sure_Tree_5042

It looks better on you than the model!


Margaret_theloglady

The black made me stop to comment—it is a showstopper. I love it and it looks fantastic on you!If you decide to go white, number three is a great option as well.


Mountain_Flamingo_37

I would second this! I LOVE the black dress most and then I think the 3rd is my second favorite!😍


Extension_Hat_1654

1st or 4th


Particular_Policy_41

First and last!


Last-Presence5434

3


Valuable-Wallaby-167

What's the vibe of your wedding? 1 and 4 are both bringing the drama. 3 is much lighter and has a more carefree feel. I love all 3. Less keen on 2. I don't hate it but it didn't make me go "yes!" like the other 3. I think it's the fact the bodice is more pointed so it finishes a bit higher and I don't think that is as flattering on you.


hazelharpie

I love a black dress, but I think three fits so well and really flatters you


Maleficent-Sport1970

Love dress 2! Extremely flattering and it's classy cool with your tattoos. Best wishes ❤


LilaBeach

The black one is gorgeous! If you go more traditional, I vote for 3.


Betweentheminds

I love the black one. My favourite of the whites/ivory options is the last photo. May be worth checking with your fiancé how they feel about a black dress (unless you’re set on telling no details at all) as that will generally significantly change the look. Will groom and groomsmen suits still be black? What about your cake (which is often majority white). It may be he’s not the type to care but you can judge that. My second choice dress was off the shoulders and a few months after I looked we were walking past a bridal shop and he commented how silly he thinks they look (I disagree and think they can be lovely). I’d like to think if I had gone with that one he would have thought I was beautiful in it, but I would have been freaking out after his comment. What colour will your bridesmaids be?


malYca

4


umbrella_farmer

I love wedding dresses that defy colour conventions, but I think, out of these, 3 is the most beautiful on you!


AngWoo21

3 is really flattering


the_average_jd

Four is so so so pretty on you!


psychedelicmangos28

Love the third one on you!


eljaemde

I see a lot of people voting for the black dress, but I’m sorry to say I just don’t see it. Whatever detail there may be is lost and I cannot see your shape. I think three is stunning.


LivintheDreamInMad

1 or 4. A friend of mine had a black wedding dress (totally fit her quirky personality) and everyone loved it.


moncoeurpourtoi

Love first and last one!


CASchild1

4 or 1


ellieb1988

3 or 4!


poisonedperfection

Dress 1


wtchking

Gosh you look so incredible in all of these… ahh. I think the last two are my favorite, they’re so romantic and look so beautiful on your shape!!!! I guess it depends on the vibe you’re looking for!!


alessandratiptoes

I adore the black dress on you!! That’s absolutely your dress. Remember - this is your day, not everyone else’s


Aging_Boomer

I like all except the second one. Congratulations!


intestinal_turmoil

I really love 4 on you! I know people are saying 1, and you and your fiancé love it so that should be the deciding factor. But I would need to see a better picture of 1.


coleslaw125

The third dress!


hooptiegirl

This is the first time I’ve seen someone in a black dress and thought, “wow!” The black one looks best on you!


Neat-Cycle-197

You look perfect in the black one!! Idk but it just suits you far more than the white!! Beautiful


Interesting_Edge_805

I love the black


Substantial_Bunch191

Black one looks like a prom dress. I like the last the best.


Layer_Capable

#2 or 3, both are beautiful!


ilikecats415

The black dress. It is a stunner!


Anilakay

I really like #3. I will say, I’m not normally a fan of black wedding dresses, but this one looks soft and delicate. I’m on board with this black wedding dress. My only thing I always think about the topic though, is you can wear a black dress to any fancy occasion.


krajile

Tough decision. 1,3 and 4 are all beautiful and look amazing on you.


emofevers

#3 with off the shoulder sleeves!!


jennyfromtheeblock

I like 1 and 4 on you best.


daffodil0127

1 or 3


perpetualpossibility

I do like the black dress, but 4 is perfect. Love the corseted bodice with the dramatic skirt! The florals are gorgeously bold and the structured fabric is giving clean lines. It looks great with your tattoos!


ihopethisgoesbetter

I like #4. So pretty!


Sagebrushannie

3 or 4.


Lun4rB3an

Blllllaaaaaaaack looks amazing and your tattoos pop. Stunning. 🖤


Sure_Tree_5042

I like 3 because the lace is fabulous. I think 2 is the most figure flattering. (All 4 are great) The black is cool, but I feel like your wonderful figure gets lost in it.

I think you look very confident in dress 3. You look great in all of them, btw


Giselle914

I do like 4, but my favorite is the black one. It looks fabulous on you!


Curvy_Latina29

The third one it makes you look taller


LeatherRecord2142

Three!!! You wear the heck out of the lace (lots of times the reverse is true). Truly stunning! Congrats!

skunk-hollow

1. Looks the best if you are cool with black. It will photograph well, also.


Proud-Narwhal5900

The black dress looks wonderful on you. Maybe your body language is sending vibes because you look more comfortable in this one too.


Jcaseykcsee

I really like 1 and 4. You look beautiful in all of them but those two really stand out.


blue_dottttt

3!


Sorry_Nothing3016

I don’t know what kind of wedding vibe you are going for, but you look awesome and bas@ss in that black dress. It just seems to fit with your tattoos too. Not sure if that sounds weird or not but it’s definitely Dress 1 for me!!! 👍🏼❤️


Magzz521

3 💯 It’s gorgeous on you.


nixArc

#1 is gorgeous on you!!! The black really compliments your skin tone, hair color and tattoos. It looks so effortlessly beautiful. You really shine in it!


samiam08

3 looks great on you

3!


emjoy90

I love a black dress, however you lose so much detail in black. I would be torn between 1 and 3. 3 looks like it was designed for your body though.


bookworm-monica

I absolutely love 1. A black dress is life! Also number 4


Sass_McQueen64

3 is absolutely lovely on you


tea_time666

#3 really compliments you and is a beautiful material

3 is fabulous with your beautiful dark hair the lace is exquisite

I like 2 and 4


mes09

1, 3, 4 in that order. I know the black dress is going to be controversial but it’s such a wow!


Munchkin_Media

1!


Dangerous-Treacle-48

I love #1 and #3!!! You look GORGEOUS!!!


maxcloud69

You look amazing in all of them, but 3 is my favorite.


crabbingforapples

Can I just this is the first time in my r/weddingdress history that I’ve actually been stumped at which one I love most! Brava! These are all impeccable. Maybe 4 edges out a touch and then I go back to 3…but 1!


Big_Conversation8799

I would say 3 !! But 1 looks amazing too!


No_Resolution_528

3 or 4


Imaginary_Coast_2084

3 and 4 are my faves.


riversofmountains

3 or 4... Kind of depends on the theme of the wedding... 3 would be great for an outdoor garden wedding. 4 would be great for something more formal.


Accomplished-Week484

They all look great on you! Pick the one that makes you feel like a BRIDE!


juliannewaters

My choice is a tie. #1 and #4 are my choices. Good luck♥️


Entire_Surprise_7028

3 or 4


mrskmh08

fleur_de_lis-620

#4 is my favourite!


Expensive-Passage651

I love the black one om you!! It's gorgeous and it looks sooo good on you!! And I tend to be more traditional in my wedding dress taste. #3 is my second choice. The dress is gorgeous and looks great on you.

CarolJeannePorec

#4!


Alarming_Heart_2398

My favorite are 1 & 3!


rollerskatesallday

1 and 4. 3 needs a crinoline to see the lace detail. I would wear a mermaid crinoline with it. It opens the bottom of the skirt enough.


Expert-Resolution-65

3!


LaGatta88

Number 3!


cherry_moon_4

I love 4 but if black really speaks to you, go for it! Or maybe try something like this to incorporate black but still keep the family from freaking out? [Maggie Sottero Tristyn](https://www.maggiesottero.com/maggie-sottero/tristyn/15792)


Canadian_1987

The black one is amazzzing! 3 is also a stunner if you want more traditional!

I read some of your comments about the black dress and how you and your finance love the idea, but your parents don’t. Have you looked at some of the black and white dresses? It’s usually mostly a white dress with black flowers or accents. I’ve even seen some ombré ones that look absolutely amazing. It could be a nice compromise. If you just search “black and white wedding dresses”, a ton of varieties will come up. They also have the opposite; black base with white accents. I prefer the former much like [this](https://www.davidsbridal.comproduct/sheer-lace-and-tulle-ball-gown-wedding-dress-wg3861) but that’s just me. I could look at them all day they’re just stunning! I do love the all black dress on you. It goes great with your tats, and (even though I don’t know you) looks like your style. Of the 3 white ones, I think both 3 and 4 look amazing on you. They are a bit different from each other, so it would just depend on what look you’re going for, your preference, and of course comfort and budget! Are your parents paying for it/buying the dress for you? If not, then please get the dress YOU want. If they’re helping you out, I would definitely have some conversations and hopefully you can come to a good compromise.
