Anyone been to a wedding lately? I NEED SOME OPINIONS!!!

[greentea_winter]

I'm going to a friend/ex-co-worker's wedding next month. She and the groom are in their early twenties, have a ton of friends, although I'm not certain how many people were actually invited. I mean, we've hung out a bit, partied as each other's houses, etc, but we're not texting-at-1am close, so if I got an invite then I'm assuming the  million

I thought I drunkenly commented on this last night, but I guess I didn't. Anywho, that dress is beautiful and reasonably priced. I see no reason why you shouldn't get it.

Sweet! Thanks for the thumbs up for the pink dress, because even though I included an edit stating I was going with something in black, I still haven't made any permanent decisions. I mean...it's pink AND poofy! Thanks for your input :D

I can't see the black dress to compare the two, but I think the pink dress is really cute! If it expresses yourself in the way you want and is something would feel comfortable in, I think you should go for it! You seem like you really love the design, which is a definite plus (and might make room so that you'd wear it more than once). It'd help a lot if you could try it on in store and see how you feel about it on. I do agree with you that it could definitely be toned down a bit with a cardigan/coverup of some sort.

I think it'd work out best for the reception, though. At the last two weddings I went to, there was a huge range of styles from jeans and t-shirts (.....) to pieces just shy of prom dresses, lol. The majority wore things that I guess would classify as their "Sunday best".. The girls that stood out the most (but not in a bad way) were kinda retro/pinup-inspired but they looked amazing and fit right in.

I fixed the issue with the link and the dress should be viewable. :) Yeah, this is a really tough call, but I think my instinct is telling me to go with the second dress because the style is almost identical AND if I purchase it in black I can add something new to it and wear it again to the reception. Thank you so much for your input because, yeah, I think I was worried about meeting that happy medium between "Sunday best" and making a big statement.

I would base the attire more off the time of day the wedding is and location of the reception. They both look fine to me but possibly a little over dressed if it's an early afternoon wedding.

Hmmm...good point, I didn't even consider time of day. The wedding is at 3:00 at a hotel/casino here in Reno so that may work in my favor, lol. Thank you so much!

Wow, both of those dresses are SO nice!! Either one you chose will be great!
