Thoughts on this for a June wedding? The bride's color is purple and I am married to her dad so while I have no official duties, I still need to look nice. Do you think it would be too hot? Outdoor wedding and reception (my backyard so I can run inside to my own A/C if need be). I love Kiyonna dresses and even got married in one last year.  Or this one?  Not sure I like the shiny though. If it matters, I am 46 and a size 18. Thanks! |

I think either would work well - the colors are very pretty!

Love the color. I like the first one, but prefer the neckline on the second. It's just a little frilly on the side. I like that look though!

Voting for the first one, but really, either one will look nice! I don't know--they both are very pretty.
Wedding as usually such fun--and a summer wedding too.
You're fortunate to have two good choices for the day!

I like the second one a lot - more fun and I'm not a fan of the neckline one the first

Is the mother of the bride attending? If so, I'd first ask what color she is wearing. Is her dress long or short? Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom get first choice in their colors of dress IMO. I've been Stepmother of the Bride twice now and I always found out what my husband's ex was wearing before I made my choice.
Both dresses are very pretty. I also like the first one just a bit better.

They're both really pretty dresses, I don't think you can go wrong with either of them. I quite like the frill on the second one but like you I'm not sure about the shininess of the fabric.
The only thing I'd be worried about is the sleeves - both dresses look like they'd be awfully hot for an outdoor wedding in summer. You really don't want to be running inside to cool off all the time.

I own the second one! I love it. It's not shiny like it looks in that photo. I'm also mid 40s and a size 18. Hang on, I'll try to find a picture. I wore it for our anniversary dinner last fall. I think it would be perfect for a wedding. ETA: Here's the photo. Sorry, not the best of me, but you can see that the dress is not shiny. This was September in Houston, so still summer temperatures, and I didn't think it was too hot. Also: I changed into a pair of nude strappy sandals after we took this photo because I didn't like the way these looked.  |

How warm is it in June where you live? I think they look to warm for a June wedding. I love the style and colour of both, but would like to see a different sleeve.

To me the style and colors don't say summer. They are both pretty just not what I would think of for a summer dress.

Love the color. My vote is for dress 1. It is so flattering.

I like both dresses, but neither seem very summery to me. The color is so rich and deep on each of them, it makes me think more of fall or winter.

I like the second one better - it looks more fun and celebratory! I also like the neckline better!

I wore the first dress, in red, for my wedding.  I have it in black and teal as well. I really love that dress. I think either are good. They had a few more summery printed wrap dresses last time I checked the Kiyonna site as well. (eta. Just saw her color is purple, my reading comprehension is low today!) I guess the plum isn't super summery, as the above posters said, but if you paired it with some flashy yellow shoes and jewellry, I think it would look great. |
