I bought THIS dress for a wedding but I'm not 100% sold on it. The "theme" of the evening wedding is "garden formal" & don't think the black really fits that. I noticed that it's not accessorized much in the ad. Would you wear jewelry? Also would nude shoes work or do I need black? TIA! ETA: I also bought THIS dress (in both colors) LOL. I'm so indecisive. Anyone want to vote on which dress is best? They all fit well. |

I'd do some dangly earrings and layered bracelets, no necklace as the pattern is too busy and I think it would get lost. Shoes something like these would look good. The second dress in pink is gorgeous. |

I think the second dress is better for a wedding that's "garden formal" (ugh, I hate made up dress codes, but they do say "formal" and this dress is definitely dressier than the other). I'd go with the grey. Some great earrings and/or bracelet and you're good to go. I'd wear metallic shoes. The pink feels too much like a young girls' Easter dress to me.

I love them both. I really like the second dress in pink, but I'm not sure I'd go with a glitter lace for daytime. I'd have to see it to see how glittery it really is.
I'd get a great pair of shoes for either and a hat. I just see the first dress with a big hat. Chic, and keeps the sun off your head.

Dress 2, in pink with nude shoes, and simple gold earrings/bracelets. So pretty!

I love the second dress in both colors but for a wedding I would go with the light pink one. I think it is so pretty!
I would wear nude shoes and some beautiful dangly pearl earrings.

Love love the second dress. I thought pearls as soon as I saw it, glad that I still have some type of fashion sense.  Reading to see what others say about the shoes.  Lisa |

I also vote for dress #2 in pink. It's so pretty, and I feel like it fits "garden formal" more than the black ones. I think you could rock black shoes with it though, I love pink and black together!

These shoes are from Kohls. Probably not the best quality but the price is good! Just giving ideas here.
SHOE #1
Shoe #2
Shoe #3
I am not sure if they all linked correctly but they are all available in nude. (ETA..none of them linked in nude!  ) |

But, I do have one question, is this an outdoor event? You mentioned "garden formal", so if it's outdoors wouldn't the heels get stuck in the grass? Stupid question, but I don't know. I'm one that has never worn heels.  |

I LOVE these shoes because they have a satin sash that would sort of pick up on the sash on the dress:  champagne version:  I would wear simple stud earrings because the dress itself looks like it has some sparkly stuff. |

All the dresses are lovely. Based on garden formal I would go with 2nd dress in the blush. I look awful in blush but if you look great in it than go for it and if not than the darker color. I can't remember if it was black or navy. The first dress is lovely but more formal. If you did wear it I would skip a necklace and do earrings and a bracelet.

What kind of venue will you be in for the wedding? Is it outdoors on grass? That makes it harder to wear a skinny heel, I think.
For either dress style, I'd go with bracelet(s) and earrings if you wear them (I don't, but you may).

I vote for the 2nd dress in pink. I agree with other posters who said it seems to fit the garden formal theme. I also like the simple dangly earrings and the faux pearls.

I actually like the 1st dress best. Add some hot pink, turquoise or yellow statement jewelry and similar colored shoes!

Thanks everyone!! The wedding is at 5 p.m. outside but we won't be walking on grass at all so I will be able to wear heels. The dinner & reception is inside at the same location. I found another pic of the pink dress HERE & it's not as cute in this pic, IMO, ugh. But I think you've mostly talked me out of dress #1. I liked it because it had sleeves but the other one is really pretty. I have a few days to make my final decision. I need to do a fashion show for dh & get his opinion, lol. Thanks again for accessorizing me & sharing your thoughts on the dresses! |
