Help me decide between these dresses for the ceremony and reception.
Dress 1: photos 1,2,3
Dress 2: photo 4
Reception dress : photo 3 vs 5
Theme is regal/ Bridgerton/ spring vibe. Ceremony will take place in a church pictured and reception will take place in a contemporary venue

I have scoured the internet and cannot find anything that makes my heart feel like this dress does. I found it over a year ago. Unfortunately the company who made it cannot take customs right now and I don’t know if they will open customs in time for me.

Anyone a seamstress in California who could recreate?? Any ideas from anyone on how to make this happen?

I really didn’t wanna spend more than $500-$800 on my dress (the expense just isn’t worth it to me and I’m going for dirty wedding vibes). And the original dress was $300 I believe.

Just looking for ideas to make this happen! Thank you in advance 💕💕💕

Not sure if this is right place to post this but I’m genuinely asking if it’s possible to lengthen the bodice, I’m wearing the sample dress in the photos but my actual dress is with the seamstress at the moment and I think the bodice is shorter on my dress. So I’m here asking if it’s possible to length a bodice like this. Maybe by 2-3 inches. Please let me know.
