which are you most comfortable in? both physically comfortable and comfortable with your appearance. your the bride; you’re going to remember whatever you wear. don’t be unique JUST to be unique. get a unique dress if it’s the one you truly love

I had a similar dilemma - what helped me was realizing that the more simple/classic dress, I could wear in any color for another black tie event and it would be stunning, but the unique/romantic one, I would only really have the opportunity to wear at my wedding

Flip a coin! You’ll likely have a stronger attachment to one when the decision is quite literally out of your hands.

I felt the most “me” in one of them. At first I was in between two pretty dresses, then I tried one on that wasn’t the stereotypical dress I’ve seen my friends in, and realized it was much more “me” than the others…
One of the shoppers I worked with mentioned a wedding gown should be an elevated version of what you usually like to wear. For me I never wear patterns and instead I prefer drama in shape, and that’s exactly what my wedding dress ended up being. I think it was also easier for me to find accessories for a clean dress because it was almost a clean slate. If I picked a patterned glitzy dress I would’ve had to think harder about balancing and not overdoing accessories.
Do you typically wear patterns, sparkles, etc or do you usually buy “clean” classic clothes?

Large decorative lace sounds very intriguing!
I would say as long as you feel like “you” and that you’re happy and smiling in it, go for it! Bask in the drama, unexpectedness, and intrigue. It’s totally the day to go all out!

Financially, I cannot lol 😂 both were the same price and both already were over budget on their own

Tske it as a sign that you need to kerp looking

Post pics of both! We can give more specific advice based on the actual dresses/fit

I think they’re both stunning and you can’t go wrong!

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!
