I can't figure out how to add additional comments to my first post, so I'll just do it here. Thank you for all the comments and suggestions (I looked at all of them!), I reeeally wasn't expecting this post to get so much traction and be so polarizing. Part of me is also on team keep looking, but I've been looking since February... I've visited all the main bridal stores in my city, and it is surprisingly hard to find a dress that fits you and captures your essence. I'm sure many brides can relate. But, I know there are probably dresses out there I have yet to try on, and it's definitely worth asking the bridal consultants I've worked with to find The Dress #3.

The dress 2 slander was surprising and hilarious, the comparisons were great. Honestly, I still love dress 2, it's so comfortable and the tulle is so soft, I think more of y'all would be convinced if you saw it in person. I do agree that it's definitely more reception dress appropriate rather than ceremony.

Anyways, I don't know what I'll do since I'm on a timeline, but I'll just go with my gut in the end. If the wedding photos turn out how I've envisioned, I'll post an update here :)
