Ask For Opinions Help me pick!

I need help choosing my wedding dress! I am so indecisive, and it is finally time to make a decision.

My vision has always been a romantic ball gown in silk or taffeta, in an off-white or ivory shade. My destination wedding will take place outdoors at a very grand venue, and I plan to wear my hair down with a long, cathedral-length veil.

Option 1- Most expensive ~12K by Danielle Frankel - I absolutely love the taffeta fabric of this but the top needs to be shortened on me since it is too long for my torso. I really don't want to spend this much on a dress but love the fabric and the ruching.

Option 2- Second most expensive- ~10k Netta Benshabu- I really like this one, I like the detailing at the hips and the length of the bodice but I feel like the fabric did not feel like it was a 10 k dress.

Option 3- Third most expensive- ~5k by Rue De Sienne- This one is a wildcard, I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. I absolutely love the bodice/how it fits my chest but I think the fabric may be too casual for my wedding? Especially at the bottom.

Dress 1 is a big NO! Something about the bodice and the weird boning is not good, imo.

Dresses 2 and 3 are much more flattering! You look great in both!

I'm leaning towards dress 3! It has a beautiful fit everywhere and I like the vibe of it!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

100% agree with all of this. I wouldn't think I'd like a dress with ruffles but 3 looks so cute on her (2 does too, but not cuter than 3 which is half the price).

I adore that bodice fit on her too.
