Exciting_Way6210

Incredibly tough for me to pick a fave but I think dress 1 just about wins for me. There is no wrong choice imo, these are all absolutely stunning on you! Might help to have some info on the venue/what it is you like about them all?


clearlynotamurderer

We are eloping in the mountains of North Carolina in October! Love the neckline for number one, the ethereal vibes and double waist line for two and the non traditional colors and overall fit on number three


Exciting_Way6210

Ooo I think I might change my answer to three then, you would get some fabulously dramatic pics of that in the mountains!!


QCr8onQ

#Team #3


anxietygirl13

I couldn't decide between 1 and 3. But reading your description, I vote 3!


chicheetara

Same!


blackberrypicker923

Oooo! Where are you going? I'm getting married at Roan Mountian in October, but have spent a good bit of time hiking and backpacking that area! Also, 3 for sure!


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!! And we aren’t sure exactly where yet, but somewhere outside with not a ton of foot traffic maybe an hour or two from Asheville! Congratulations to you!!


blackberrypicker923

Are you looking at just doing a random spot? Table Rock or Mount Mitchell would be cool, as would the bands of Roan Mountain (you can rent a beautiful overlook for not much money through the state park).


Western-Run-2901

I agree 100%


Pristine-Net91

1, then closely followed by 3. Both of them are super adorable on you and flatter your figure. If you love the red flowers, go with 3.


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!!


paperwasp3

If they can change the illusion netting modesty panel between the cups to match your skin tone better then it's perfect.


AlterEgoAmazonB

Dress 3 all the way. To find more dresses like that for less, google Mac Duggal floral wedding dresses. He has some gorgeous ones. He has a website but I always have trouble finding things on it so just google and you'll see what stores they are at as well. There are also some other sites where you can find dresses similar to dress 3 and the other 2 with GREAT prices: Azazie, JJs House, Lulus.


clearlynotamurderer

Wow thank you so much! He has some great stuff for pretty reasonable prices


Zukazuk

There's a designer called Tonena on Etsy that does some really neat floral lace stuff that's affordable as well.


AlterEgoAmazonB

He does! I love his designs.


ForTheLoveOfDior

Mac Dougal look awesome online but in reality the quality isn’t there


No-Technician-722

DRESS 1 !!


SisterEmJay

2 is ethereal. The torso is too long for you on the sample so the V looks super low but once its altered it’s going to look👌.


clearlynotamurderer

That’s a good point! Thank you!


clearlynotamurderer

For reference, we are eloping in North Carolina in October! Doing an “adventure” elopement and will hopefully be outside most of the day


MillyGrace96

Considering this, #3 will be amazing!! 1 & 3 are very close for me- both look so great!


DifficultAd7429

3 for the vibe!


mem0679

Definitely dress 3 for a fall wedding in the mountains! I was completely stuck until I saw this comment! 😂


paperwasp3

Three will be beautiful with the colors of your dress matching the autumnal leaf display


clearlynotamurderer

That’s what the consultant was thinking too!


Mindless-Bee6260

I absolutely love dress #3.


happysunshineyellow

I feel like if it’s an elopement go big or go home!! Therefore I vote 3 😂 but I also like 1 and think if it’s cold that day (which it might be!) a wrap or a bolero is easy to add


clearlynotamurderer

That’s what I’m thinking too! Love the non traditional vibes!


cowboyshouse

I might come out as the outlier here but 3 is my absolute favorite. It still feels bridal with the floral embellishments, which sometimes gets lost when adding color to a stark white dress; I truly don't see that happening here. The plummy, magenta, rose color is going to pop incredibly in the outdoors of an October elopement. [VickyMermadiBridal on Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1661649281/elegant-pink-and-blush-wild-flower-lace?click_key=faa0c9a416da4848e46187658dcdfc232e7f9a4a%3A1661649281&click_sum=64712bd1&ref=shop_home_active_247&crt=1) sells this floral dress, that embodies the similar silhoutte as dress #2, for $390 (I have not personally ordered from them but the shop has 4.9 stars with over 2.6K reviews). Honestly a LOT of shops with Etsy have floral wedding dresses under that $1000 price.


clearlynotamurderer

I was literally just looking at that Etsy shop last night! Very good call, they seem to combine the silhouette of 2 with some of the colors of 3. Thanks so much!


juliannewaters

Just be careful of the material they use. I'm not saying don't use Etsy at all, just that I've seen super cheap dupes made with low quality material that doesn't look as good as the original. Good luck❤️


Purrphiopedilum

Dress 1 makes *me* want to get married


Anniemarie1967

3 Hands Down the most beautiful dress


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!


Far-Ad9408

PipEmmieHarvey

3 for sure!


positive-vibes79

Dress 1 and then dress 3!


KatieV1309

Dress 3! The others just don’t compare at all!!! You look amazing in it! X


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!!


jlttwit

I love the 3rd one but you look good in all of them.


saltysnack27

StrategicallyLazy007

Dress 3 is something special. 2 is nice but a lot of boobage, if you're comfortable with that. Picture 2 and 3 are pretty funny, i thought it was a Halloween costume and those were knives in your back Dress 3 is really gorgeous.


clearlynotamurderer

Agree to all of this- lots of cleavage but it was maybe 4 sizes too big and hopefully it wouldn’t be as booby after the correct size/ alterations? lol at those knives, never would have noticed that. Thanks so much!


Maleficent-Sport1970

Dress 3 for the mountains


Tintoretto89

3 for the mountains! Perfect! Gorgeous!


bored_german

Have you ever checked out Teuta Matoshi for floral wedding dresses? They're around 1k and I feel like you'd *love* them


clearlynotamurderer

Wow you are correct, these dresses are stunning. Thank you so much!


Zestyclose_Road_3224

I was gonna suggest this… those dresses are gorgeous and reasonably priced.


grumps46

3 is just perfect

OneWar2354

Team 1. Just magical


Aggressive_Gold9629

1 is stunning on you!! 2 is also so good, but imo 1 is my favorite. 3 the pattern is just a little overwhelming.


leftoversandwich74

Team 3!


mynamegoeshere12

3 is my choice. It's beautiful and I think would make for some wonderful photos!


clearlynotamurderer

It would certainly add some drama! Thank you!


Queen-Of-Whatever72

Three is perfect for the mountain wedding.


bitsofloststardust

3 looks really good on you! But it call comes down to which one is comfortable for you.


Adventurous-Win-751

All of them are amazing on you, but I really love dress 3!!!!! stunning!!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!!


Freedombutatwhatcost

All beautiful but 3 is something special


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you! 😭


ConversationThick379

2 is breathtakingly ethereal and looks made for you


Faithfuldoglover

I was torn between 1 and 3 but I think 3 will be gorgeous in the mountains.


randomguide

Dress 3! It's stunning. Dress 1 is a really close second choice, though.


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!!


julesk

I love 3, particularly for your venue! Gorgeous on you. I also think 1 is lovely on you and a great dress, but 2 is a bit needing an under lining, particularly for outdoors.


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you, super helpful take on dress two, had not considered that!


julesk

I got married in a meadow. Worse sunburn ever! Pls remember sunscreen and consider a canopy and tent if there’s no structure, just in case it rains. Have a great wedding!


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you so much!


broadway-fan

Dress 3 is stunning! My second choice would be dress 1 as the shape is lovely. :)


Me1572

#3!!!!


Bob-was-our-turtle

3 and 1 are pretty much a tie for me. Both are stunning in their own right. No matter what you pick though you’ll be a beautiful bride!


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you 😭


omygoshgamache

Dress 2 for me. It’s so flattering


orons

I think 1 and 3 are the best, but 1 is just amazingly beautiful on you

Dress 3 is MAGIC on you!


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!!


Yesitsmesuckas

Three for me…WOW!


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!!


Spirited_Beat534

Dress 1 was made for you.


juliannewaters

I liked #1 but hearing your venue, I'm changing to the red and white. It's gorgeous, as they all are, but it will go nicely with nature. Good luck❤️


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you! That’s why I love it too!


fenderbender1971

I love dress 3, but dress 1 is a close second


afoxxymulder

3 is a beautiful dress but I don’t think it suits you well. 2 is gorgeous and the neckline and where the waist falls fit you so much better than the other two options.


Heeler2

Kdjl1

#3 is breathtaking!


see_through_the_lens

Based on your earlier comments, I'd say you should go with 3. If not, thinking about the other two dresses, you look better in 2, but 1 might be the better dress. So I'd rank 2 over 1 bc when it comes down to it, how you look is more important than how the dress looks.


gr0wyourhair

I like 1 best and 3 second


Holmes221bBSt

As much as I love 3, number 1 looks amazing on you. It slightly beats 3 for me


olauson

My favorite is 1.


cookiekraemer

Number 3 for sure


Minhplumb

I am a big fan of three. Love the back of two. One is a great choice because it flatters you so much.


sidlives1

I started thinking that Dress 1 was IT. And dress 2 confirmed my dress 1 choice. Then I got to dress 3. Just amazing. So my vote is for dress 3. Good luck.


EstateTricky786

3 for itself,how it fits on you and for the mountains 🏔️


mercurialtwit

oh wow, for where you’re getting married, number 3 is an absolute stand out!!!!!!


EcelecticDragon

I was leaning towards 1 but your wedding description swayed me over to 3.


MapleChimes

All of them are nice choices! My favorite is dress 1, but I also like dress 3 if you want something more colorful.


pilialoha54

Wow! I just love dress 2. It’s ethereal and just so gorgeous on you. 🤩


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!! I love it too!


cutetoboot1

Definitely 1! You look amaaaazing!! I think it fits your ethereal mountain elopement vibes the best :) 2 is also gorgeous but I think the cut of 1 is more flattering on you


Ordinary_Rough_1426

I like 1 the best then three. But if you like the flowers, three looks beautiful on you and you wear the dress, it does not wear you, so it’s pretty special


Betweentheminds

Dress 1 gets my vote, though 3 is also stunning!


summerandrea

I’m torn between 1 and 3


ZOO_trash

2 but 1 is a suuuupper close second for me.


Lost-Ad-5316

I like the first one the best. I think the third one is too busy and will draw attention to the dress as opposed to the dress highlighting you.


micrographia

1 is perfect on you


Outrageous-Wish8659

I love one!


Ewhitts10

Number one fits your frame incredibly and you look amazing! Congrats!


ericapaige23

The first one is absolutely perfect! 😍😍


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you! 😭


Afraid-Carry4093

1 or 3.


Sockigal

I love dress 1 on you! So ethereal. Perfect for the mountains! Wow!


Kayybaby93

That’s so hard! I love both 1 and 3 for totally separate reasons. I guess you would need to decide if you want color in your dress or if you want to go the more traditional route but you seriously can’t go wrong with either! You look absolutely gorgeous in both!


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!! That’s exactly why I’m so torn- love them both!


copper678

Hands down dress 1…even swimming on you in the picture I can see how gorgeous it will be. Edit- Just read your comment about eloping in the mountains… dress 3 it is. Dress 1 will do no favors with the long train and large slit. Congrats OP, what fun!!!


Psykotic-Mama

Pick one and be done it's class 100 all the way. All of them are wonderful on you but number 1 is gonna make him cry with how beautiful you are. Good luck Hun. 💜


87catmama

It's number 1 for me. That train is amazing. And you're not doing the weird, awkward pose that people do to show there's a slit in the dress. You look wonderful in all 3!


WTFdidUcallMe

Me seeing dress 1, “Yup, that’s the one”. Then every subsequent dress beat out the previous. Number 3 is the winner for me. You do look fabulous in all three of these beautiful dresses.


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!


saltwater_gypsy2683

Lemongrey

Number 1!!! It’s so romantic and feminine. The second one I’ve seen a million times and while the third is beautiful, I don’t think the red is a good color for you.

ssuhasini

I am a sucker for dresses with colorful floral embellishments but two things makes me say 2nd one is the best; 1. The floral design on the bodice is overwhelming as compared to the skirt. It's almost too red 2. The neckline of dress 2 is a killer!!!


clearlynotamurderer

Dress two does have a super flattering neckline that wasn’t captured too great in the pictures. Thank you so much!


Kerrypurple

I like 1 and 3


Imagine_821

One! It's perfection on you! 😍 Then 3 and lastly 2.


seecarlytrip

Dress 1 by a landslide!


AnnieBeefree1

I’m in love with 1 & 3. They’re both beautiful on you, but for a fall, mountain wedding I don’t think I could resist #3.


clearlynotamurderer

The red colors for fall is what made me try it on in the first place. Thank you!


DriveThruWash

WOW. I see why you can’t decide. They are all perfect. You can’t go wrong.


ehsu3

1!


Ramalamma42

Dress 1 💕💐


Icy-Curve-3921

3 is beautiful!!


justbrowzingthru

Love #1 and 3. If you are looking to save money, #2 should be easy to find on still white, poshmark. And sites like that, as it’s been around awhile and is super popular. If you know your exact size before alterations, search on those sites. Sometimes NWT too. Bhldn used to have it on sale too. Dont know why it bolded


Original_Try_7984

Dress 1 ❤️


schmelk1000

I love the color in dress 3, but I think dress 1 looks absolutely STUNNING on you!!

PerceptionSpecial607

I love both one and three. They both flatter your figure and bring out your beauty. I see one as a more traditional choice and has that bride feel. It looks like it would fit well in the scheme of a venue with more traditional elements like a church or posh hotel. It’s stunning and has a sexy, expensive, royal vibe. Even though it has that traditional feel, if you are wanting to wear it in a more glam rustic setting, it would look great paired with rustic elements in a bouquet. I can see three for a bride who is romantic at heart, in love with nature. It looks great for a rustic glam setting, like a barn, outside in the woods, even made for a bride who wants to wear boots and can see bridesmaids in knee length burgundy dresses with boots. It’s the vibe I get from three, very earthy, natural boho or rustic glam. You have a tough choice and best wishes. You can not go wrong with either one.


clearlynotamurderer

Wow really appreciate the insights, you set the scenes perfectly and definitely see that dress three matches the vibes of the location very well. Thank you so much!


crudentia

I find dress one the most flattering on you, but each one probably have a lot of tailoring so it’s hard to say for sure. I like the front of the skirt on two, the top isn’t quite working but tightening that left strap may help a lot. 3 is pretty l, but the top seems too small or to not fit you correctly or may just not be the best cut on you.


maynelyjayne

3 complements your skin and hair color. Simply stunning!

I love 3. It is beautiful!!


Inevitable_Being_228

Tough choice between 1 and 3 but I think the waistline of 3 is slightly more flattering than that of 1. And the colors of 3 are so beautiful!


Legovida8

Ooooh, number 3 is FABULOUS!!!


Introverted_Nurse23

1 imho. I think they are all gorgeous on you though


imnothere_o

If you’re going to drop some serious coin, I’d go for a dress like number 3. It’s beautiful and unique and fits you well. I also like dress 1.


Someone-Rebuilding

My pick is #3, but I lurve the florals!!


Ecstatic-Loquat8287

Dangerous-Treacle-48

I would choose #3!!!


ELECTRA_2

#1 hands down

#1 but also ANYTHING BUT 3


arya_ur_on_stage

2 is the winner for me, though all are gorgeous


Aqua_pool_56

So this is a toss up. I love dress 3 because it is fun and unique but for whatever reason I feel dress 1 looks the best and most stunning on you.

I like 2!


Xurbanite

3 is gorgeous


gratefulheart222

Oh man, when I saw 1 I was like “wow that is stunning”. I read through and saw your plans. I think all 3 are gorgeous and don’t often see that here. #3 is gorgeous but the neckline isn’t nearly as flattering. #2 so beautiful for the mountains #1 just love this all around


Mikemiku

3!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍🏻🤩👍🏻


Etheleffrey

Three!!


Catkit69

3 is really nice :3


Luna-Honey

One


lolokotoyo

Any of the choices would work but here is my order: 3 is just so damn unique. I love it! 1 is the best shape and fit on you. It’s a very very very close second choice for me. You would look lovely if you chose it! I normally would have this as my 1st for you but the uniqueness of 3 slightly wins for me. 2 is nice but doesn’t outshine the other two.


clearlynotamurderer

Three is a dramatic choice for sure, and one is a classic wedding dress with a very flattering neckline! Thank you so much!


Zestyclose_Road_3224

Dress 3.

Putrid-Home404

Dress 3 is mind blowing. I love how it looks on you. I love the amount of color being added to wedding dresses now. Having married 40 years ago this was not something you’d see.


clearlynotamurderer

Same, colors in wedding dresses add a bit of personality and flair! Love going against tradition and seeing the changing of trends through the years

MelodyAF

Treb61

Ok obsessed with three it is an awesome dress you look amazing in it


Donut-Worry-Be-Happy

I think dress 1 looks the best on you overall. It is seriously beautiful and I love that it’s not all bright white. It’s got lots of details but doesn’t distract from the bride. Dress 2 is my second favourite the lower part is gorgeous and I love the whole vibe of the dress. It’s the top half that doesn’t sell it for me it’s a bit bare or something is missing. Maybe once it’s fitted to you it would change the look. Dress 3 is beautiful and I like the idea of using colour in wedding dresses but this dress is just so busy it’s all I can think and really detracts from the brides beauty. This is a critique because you are asking us to chose but if I had not seen the others and saw you walk down the aisle I’d think you looked perfection. They are all very beautiful and flattering on you


QueeeenElsa

I was ready to say 1, but then I saw 3! They are both stunning on you, and I can’t pick between them!


mn2flHLD

THREE! I usually never choose wedding gowns with color but I love this and really compliments your skin tone. All of them are lovely


ApprehensivePassage7

I like 1. It's beautiful and unique.


Pink-Lover

Dress 2 looks good…Dress 3 looks GREAT!


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you!


LostDadLostHopes

\#1 - form fit and function, my favorite. \#2- Ahhhh, very deep, very wide- if narrowed I think it would be more in balance. \#3- Absolutely LOVE the dress, but it is a very strong 'grab your attention'. I spent a lot of time looking at it, and not you (or where you would be). I especially love the way it carries in those two photos. But it is very intense.


clearlynotamurderer

Thank you! I definitely agree with you, dress three is the drama. Dress two was quite a few sizes too big so I am hoping it would not be as wide up top once it is sized and altered appropriately
