I love the front of this dress and have asked if they can change the back so I can wear a bra!

I voted for number 3, it is just stunning! :)

With regards to the back, I am sure they will be able to adjust it for you. I had a bridesmaid dress that laced up the back, and they made a removable panel that just clipped in beneath the lacing, so you could wear it open or closed. Sure they could do something similar for you!!!

Whichever dress you pick, you are bound to look gorgeous!! :babydust2:

Dress 1... Without a doubt! :thumbsup:

All the best for your wedding!

[nemosmum]

awww I cant choose I lurve them all:yelclap:

Will think about it some more and then vote lol

can you give us some info on your wedding (like venue etc) so we can get a feel for which dress would suit best???

:)

[Moops]

Awww thanks ladies! I love getting quick replies!! Okay some background about the wedding....

I will be 8 months pregnant and due to not wanting the stress we are just having 14 family members (10 adults 4 kids) and having a civil ceremony at a hotel in the lake district in England. After the ceremony at the hotel we will have some drinks and then have a 3 course meal in the hotel restaurant and have then paid for everyone to stay the night.

Because it is a small wedding and we are having a 'proper' one next year with family and friends I am conscious not to go too over the top with this one re dress but on the other hand I want to be happy with my dress and still look nice and bridal!

Thanks for your comments!!

I love # 3 it's just beautiful.

[A Party of Five]

I love number three it so elegant :yes:

[nemosmum]

ok then

I voted for number two based on two reasons

1. its very informal hotel/cocktail type do from what you've written and I think that dress says 'FUN, cocktail, wedding' lol

2.if your doing another wedding after bubs arrives then do the long glamourous dress then imo as you will feel sexier jmo

awww they are all gorgeous though!

i agree with what nemosmum said
if your having another wedding next year keep the long dress for that

Ditto. I was going to vote number one before I read about the wedding details.

[rainbowbeetle]

after hearing your plans, i voted number 2, but i loved number 1 too.

[rose1]

Hi,

I voted for dress number two.

I think dress number two is lovely, but also not too over the top for a small intimate wedding.

Also, I think it's a dress that you might be able to sell easily (if you're not planning on keeping it), as it can be both a wedding dress and a party dress.

I reckon if you're having a another wedding next year I'd go for a long frock of your dreams then.

But having said that, go with whichever one makes you feel the most comfortable! I had a red wedding dress myself.

Good luck in deciding! Would love to know which one you choose.

[k2ma]

Absoloutely love dress three, though would also change the back section. Very elegant.

Dress 2 is nice and practically speaking (after having own wedding dress hang for 3 years on the curtain rail!!) you would "get more use" out of dress 2...however, wedding dresses are really just that aren't they?!!!

You would however, look dazzling in any of them.:babydust2:

[Little_Toad]

I think number 2 is really funky and different..

but, you may want to consider you might have really swollen ankles and feet at 8 months. A short dress might make you feel uncofortable.

A long one will hide and swollen yuckiness plus you can wear slippers!

i chose #2, i think its beautiful - lovely and flowing. and i agree with other comments about having a more formal one for the 2nd time you do it.

i got married when i was nearly 7mo preg. i didnt wear a white/wedding type dress tho. it was in december, the dress was silk and so light and cool. here's a pic, if you're interested WEDDING DRESS (http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o37/library-laksa/WEDDING/08.jpg)

Oh thats gorgeous! You look fantastic!

Thanks for all your comments, the results are very interesting! Please keep in mind that both long dresses can be made shorter to make it less formal. I am very keen on Dress 3, the model looks fantastic I just wish she had a bump in the photo so I can imagine how I would look!

[jasesmum]

I really love dress number 3. I think although its not a big wedding...it is still your wedding and you still have the right to look and feel beautiful on this special day!

It's a lovely elegant dress and not to boofy and not too "cinderella" like but still has that wedding look about it.

Good luck...I'm sure you will look great in whatever you choose!:thumbsup:

oooohhh very very good point LT
If you choose dress #2 high heels are a must and gawd if your anything like me you will be dead on your feet by the end of the night
If however your used to heels then i stand by #2 LOL
Other wise go for the slipper option :thumbsup:

awwww Michaela you look so lovely hun and i lurve the gold slippers:kiss: beautfiul!

[pkbub]

I think #1 is the best! I really liked the neckline. Length is good to hide little problems like vericose/spider veins and cankles and also for the weather - won't it be autumn in England? For your second wedding you can just have it taken in perhaps and only ever need to buy 1 wedding dress. If so, you will be very lucky to get so much wear out of your wedding dress, much more than the rest of us - just 1 day then put away! I think it would be very special just to have the one dress for both occasions. Let us know what you decide! And best wishes:yelclap:

[poshBecks]

Oh wow number 3 is just gorgeous!!!!! Very beautiful :yes:

[sairpaul]

I personally liked all three I couldn't vote coz I can't decide

[Nan]

I voted for #3 for a few reasons:
- It will look stunning no matter how big your belly gets,
- It suits both smaller & larger body shapes (don't know what size you are, Moops!)
- It is so classy and can be dressed up with accessories of down a bit too, for both of your ceremonies.
- I'm a sucker for cap sleeves!!!! :D
