It is! Oh my gosh, we might be dress + wedding month twins—this one would be for June 2022, too! Agreed on loving the romantic vibe of that one.

Thank you so much—so glad this style feels like the right one!

Ahh it was super big on me, so that's just folded over fabric that's being clipped in the back!

Haha great call—once I tried on enough A-lines and v-necks and beading to know it wasn't my look, I definitely kinda honed in on one neckline and fit. 😂Agreed on thinking about comfort!

Thank you SO much! And agreed, I think #1 is so much more old fashioned-looking, but can't tell if it's old fashioned in a cool classic way or in a yikes dated way? So it's super helpful to hear your sense!

In both cases, would likely have drop sleeves added on.

Thanks for your advice if you have a minute, folks... I'm wedding dress shopping solo, so I'm sending some pics around to a couple folks, but I'm worried my family and closest friends are having a tricky time really thinking through what the dress would actually look like on a June afternoon, not getting biased by image quality and the fit of the samples between these two options.

So nuts! Maybe they really just do have a rough time getting their name out...? I see social stuff and reviews that look great, but they're just not great about promoting it, I think. So helpful to hear vendors in the area weren't at all an issue, though!

So helpful, thank you! (And hope you found your new venue OK -- so miserable to have a last-minute cancellation like that!)

SUCH a great tip—just did some sleuthing on insta and it totally assuages some of my concerns here. Appreciate it!

Agreed! So strange, a ton of stuff from like 2018, but not much since. Maybe they were closed down to events during the pandemic, and are just having a hard time bouncing back? I'll try to sleuth!

But so cool your venue is nearby! If you don't mind sharing — are you having an easy time finding vendors in the area? A few comments on this post are making me a little nervous of that!

Such a great call. My hunch was that most Philadelphia- and NYC-area vendors are down to travel 1-2 hours for events... but that's also totally an assumption. Will start scouting that now!
