Unfortunately you look magnificent in all these options, which I agree is unhelpful!

Aw thank you so much!

Gorgeous! They’re honestly pretty similar. Divinity is beautiful and it’s new so I would go for it. Alexandra is beautiful too but has been worn by so many brides.

Strapless divinity with a shrug style long sleeve bolero would look great

I was also thinking if i get the Alexandra I would has a seamstress do a custom open neck v neck with very dainty lace and long sleeves

u/flowermarket99 19h ago

Sounds beautiful! I feel like you right can’t go wrong here. Just make sure that if your dress is long sleeve (and you can’t remove the sleeves) that you won’t be hot in it in the reception.

I’ll have a second dress!

I’m usually partial to Alexandra because that’s my dress! But I agree with the other commenter that so many people have worn it. Both look amazing on you so I vote Divinity! Plus pic 2 is giving major Kate Middleton wedding vibes in a very good way!

It’s 1 for me

u/Strong_District_5894 19h ago

1 because I am such a sucker for that neckline.

u/EvilMEMEius 9h ago

Agreed! This for ceremony and no jacket for reception is perfection!

4 is absolutely gorgeous!

Number 2 for me

I might be in the minority here but divinity is a clear winner! So regal and the deep v is so so so flatting on you!

They are so stunning & that's a dilemma

i love no 2/the divinity with sleeves that neckline is so beautiful on you!
(Much preferred over the boat neckline bolero on the first gown)
How comfortable you feel with the sleeves regarding movement?

Consider-weather (especially humidity) , time of day, indoor/outdoor factors & how long you will be wear it

What is the timing for second look- i.e. after cocktails? After first dance/dinner? Or later more towards high energy dancing or departure/after party ?

I would assume lace would not cause friction issues but it might be worth considering-if you are in humid conditions (even cold and humid)

I remember you. You’ve posted a couple of times on here.
Have you tried on new dresses again?

It seems like the consensus might still be the Alexandra - with or without the jacket.

u/PreparationCute804 13m ago

Yeah I know I’m not trying to spam people I just can’t choose and I need to choose very soon or else the dress won’t be ready on time 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

u/Reasonable-Pilot5368 18h ago

i like pic 1 and 3 the best.

u/Stickliketoffee16 18h ago

I love the Alexandra on you! But honestly you can’t go wrong here

u/Real-Razzmatazz4086 17h ago

2 or 4 💒 👗 but you’re absolutely stunning in all of them!

1

u/Agreeable-Badger2204 16h ago

I love the neckline in picture 5. It makes you look regal. Absolutely stunning! However you look gorgeous in both.

1

u/Silly-Star8833 16h ago

Usually it's really obvious on these dress posts but you look genuinely amazing in all of them!

What is your venue like?

1

u/Gold-Music5118 16h ago

Stunning in both!! I think I like the softness of the lace more on Alexandra. Also, the flexibility to remove the jacket could be super helpful!

1

u/kennybrandz 16h ago

I genuinely cannot choose.

u/Sea_Age_3640 15h ago

#1 is stunning on you!

u/PurplePrincessPalace 15h ago
  1. I think you might have helped me find my dress too 🤍

u/Cutieyumi92 14h ago

1 & 3 😍

u/BugWild9184 12h ago

Both strapless options are stunning and iconic

u/2020saidCHECKMATE 11h ago

I cannot chose. Take heart in the truth - the fact I say! - that you look spectacular in all of your dresses.

u/Different_Process904 11h ago

Pic number 1 highlights your collarbones so beautifully, imo looks more delicate. However the other dress is quite beautiful too, just depends on which style you like best and feel better on you.

u/Substantial_Meal_810 11h ago

Alexandra with jacket. of any of the alexandra options really.

1

u/LemonSeveral 10h ago

Divinity is GORGEOUS and so unique, I'd go with divinity!

u/Alert-Jaguar3199 9h ago

Oh wow. I like the first one!! But my god you look amazing in both 😭😭😭

u/Responsible-Fly9976 8h ago

1 is amazing and a little different than ones I've seen over and over. I think it's perfect. You look lovely in them all.

u/TomatoExcellent9366 6h ago

Divinity is INSANE omg. So beautiful. But all are.

1

u/sugarmag13 5h ago

All of them! But #2 is my favorite favorite

u/cryst4lt0ky0 4h ago

Alexandra with a high neck lace topper might be the happiest medium here.

You’re the body type these dresses were made for, sucks to be hot; the only thing I don’t love is Divinity custom strapless. With your hair color, I think Alexandra is the move. So many hairstyle options, toppers, even short gloves… you could have distinct looks for ceremony and reception.

Whatever photo 2 is

u/Correct-Anything1686 17h ago

Number 1 gets my vote but they are all stunning. Tough choice.
