I love those shoes! Gorgeous!


The other views confirmed my choice, I think. The white suit seems a bit old to me, and like it isn't cut very flatteringly, but maybe it is just the model, who I agree is kinda creepy!

Definately want options.  The more I think about it, the more I want to keep looking. 


I didn't think it would be so difficult to pick a dress, since I thought I wanted something so simple, but I realize the dress is important to me and I want just the right one.

Here's some ideas ... I didn't see your original post, so I don't know what you're looking for, but maybe something here will spark an idea.

i love this, but it's probably fantasy, since it's a fortune, and maybe not even your style... why am i posting? because i looooove it.

These may have been posted before, but I think any of these would be gorgeous on you--since you are still looking around

I fell for the first suit you posted, Lisa, but it isn't available in my size (at least not both pieces) and I can't find it else where. 


I thought about that sheer blue one from ejc, but I think it's too low cut. I almost want that Anthro one. 


I'm still stumped.

I think this is what I'd wear if I was getting married at city hall, so sweet:

But I still think you should order the white suit and see what it looks like on.

i vote for white. it's classic and more wedding, but since you're not going the traditional route, maybe rose bud is perfect. both are gorgeous....can you get both? either way the shoes have to be yours!

I love the last suit that Lisa posted!

My concern about the rosebud suit is that in both pictures of the front, the models are in a funny scoop-chested pose. I'm worried that it might have some funky cut or fit problems, like what if the lapels stick forwards when you stand up straight, or something.

Is it just me or does the white dress kind of ruck up funnily on the dark-haired model? The rosebud is my favorite and looks very you, IMO.

This is more like it....I really like both suits, but for a wedding the white is so perfect. I really really like it a lot..........

I love the rosebud suit. And the shoes you ordered that FashionPrincess posted are GORGEOUS!
I also adore the 2 light-blue dresses that ejc posted, esp. the first one. It's soooo pretty. And the white strapless dress FashionPrincess posted is so sweet and lovely too. argh, too many choices!!
when are you getting married, drew? Congratulations!

I like the white one without the shrug.  It's classy and beautiful, the patterned one is nice too but I like the plain white better.

I voted rosebud because I was more drawn to it but I think both are beautiful.  Maybe you could order both and decide based on which one you feel the best in and then return the other?  Love the shoes.
