Dress #2 then. It's very feminine. With a small frame I think it'll look absolutely beautiful on her

#1 would have been better on a different mode. She doesnt make it look appealing. Too pale
#2 is pretty esp the bottom

This is a GREAT point - do you have more information about the theme/venue/etc. that you can share? I agree that with a modern, simple wedding, dress #1 might be the better choice even though I like the look of dress #2 more.
The theme is elegance. It will be in December and her color is red wine. It will be a late afternoon ceremony and an evening reception

Both are under $1,500 and cost is not her concern because $1,500 is her budget.
She is just not sure of which one because they both have elements she likes.
I just want her to be happy with her decision, because there are no refunds on either.
Thank you so much ladies for your input. We never realized how time consuming and hard it is to chose a dress.

Number 2 all the way. #1 is edgy but the hall deserves #2. And you just gave me an idea of what my dress will look like. Thanks OP

If you are going to try on dress number 2, make sure you try on the Ivory. It is more romantic,stunning that the white.

Yes, dress #1 is gorgeous. I hate dress #2, it looks so old and played out. It almost reminds me of something a barbie doll would wear. I prefer the sleek lines and the simplicity of dress #1.
Hmm, I'm shocked at how many girls chose the second "classic" dress. This makes me think it may be an age issue because older women (>30) tend to like sleek lines and elegant designs compared to the traditional A-line type wedding dress. I'm not even 30 yet but my taste in gowns has definitely changed since college. I now want to wear a tight and sexy dress. Looking like a defunct cartoon princess in a sea of lace is not hot to me anymore.

Ok, I had to look at the dresses again to see why I hated #2 so much and it just hit me. #2 has way too much detail going on and it pulls your attention away from looking at the bride. Dress #1 is elegant and draws attention up to the bride's face and shows off her beautiful physique.
Just by looking at the pics, I couldn't help but look at the model's face in dress#1 while in dress#2, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by all of the lace appliques and other crap on the dress, the model's face just faded into the background.
I like clothes that show me off in the best possible light and make people look at me. In a sense, dress #2 will "wear the bride" as opposed to her wearing it. #2 is too busy with detail, but that's great if you'd rather people say "Oh, what a beautiful dress" as opposed to saying "Such a beautiful bride."
And when I saw the pic of the reception hall, I still think dress #1 would look best there. I think alot of people feel a big hall needs a bigger dress to take up the volume and offer a sense of grandness, and if that's the case, I still would pick a better looking dress than #2 if I couldn't have #1.
My option for lots of soft detail on A-line gown that I find attractive: http://www.davidsbridal.com/webapp/...|-49998999|-49978992&catentryId=6096810&sort=

I still think #2 is the better dress and even more so now that I've seen the venue. Congrats to your friend!

ooooh! Well, I already voted for #2, but given this setting, #1 might be a better choice. Either will be beautiful, though, I'm sure. But yeah, everything else here is modern, sleek, streamlined, so it makes sense for the dress to be, too.

#2 is too busy. Such a detailed dress combined with the detail of the venue is just too much distraction imo. #1 is simple and clean and will stand out amidst everything imo. However, I'm not too sure what type of fabric the first one is made of. If it's a stiffer fabric I'd be hesitant it would look a little 'promish' in regular lighting.

I voted #2, but now I'm torn....I like the design of #1, but without the vampire collar. It's too plain though IMO. Dress #2, I like the overall design...I don't think the detail is too much. Now that I've seen the venue, I think #2 is the better option.
