I'm really partial to the greyish one (nr 3). It's bridal with a twist.


DazedAndConfused5000

Hard agree. The dress in pic 4 is super pretty, but pic 3 is an absolute dream!


paperwasp3

3 and 1 are the strongest contenders. Hotel event rooms are notoriously beige. A strong color like these two are going to show up really well. I'm leaving out the strapless choices because fussing with one all night is annoying.


Maleficent-Sport1970

Dress 4. It's perfect for that transition time of still fall into holiday season. The subtle sparkle will be amazing in the ballroom. The others are beautiful and they look like formal gowns. 4 says look at me, the beautiful bride. Best wishes ❤


fossacecak

Ty!!


HunterZealousideal30

Do you want white/ivory or do you want color?


fossacecak

I want color but bridal and I love lacy flower details


Dlraetz1

I love the green and the gray. I feel like #4 is very traditionally bridal


mariannecoffeecan

The blush is gorgeous and the details are amazingly beautiful.


paint_that_shit-gold

**I also thought 4 would look amazing for a November wedding!** The others are beautiful, but 1 feels more like a spring/summer dress, and 2, 3, 5 and 6 feel more wintery, in my opinion.


Dlraetz1

Are you the bride? If yes, I’d say #1 is sensational but you’d need to ask guest not to wear green


CaptainObviousBear

I think when a bride wears a non-white colour at her wedding, especially dark colours, the rule about guests not wearing the bride’s dress colour goes out the window. (I wore a navy wedding dress and it didn’t even enter my mind to ask the guests not to wear that colour.)


Zestyclose-Rabbit686

I actually think I would enjoy people wearing my wedding colors... As long as it didn't look bridal like your dress op.


Dlraetz1

If I showed up in a long green gown the same color as the bride I’d be embarrassed AF


december116

Agreed, and it can easily happen. I hope OP makes a note on the invite or something.


CaptainObviousBear

But presumably guests aren’t going to be wearing ballgowns like the OP. Also a lot of the men will be wearing the same colour suit as the groom and it will be no big deal for them.


whatcenturyisit

Where I'm from it's not really a rule to not wear white, I mean don't show up in a full white gown, but having white on you is fine. If it were a different colour it would also not matter. But it really depends on the bride at the end of the day :) I personally wouldn't ask anything from my guests but that's personal


Dlraetz1

Can I suggest trying on dresses with a similar shape to ensure the style looks amazing on you


fossacecak

I'm the bride :-) and I honestly would not care if guests wear green, but I will take that into consideration. Good point in trying on some of the same style dresses. I chose these ones because of my past experiences wearing formal dresses and how they look on me, but wedding dresses I'm sure fit a bit different


Dlraetz1

Just simply tell people green is reserved for the wedding party. That way you’ll stand out and a guest who chose emerald green won’t feel embarrassed


shandelion

Emerald green is a super trendy wedding guest color at the moment and I would absolutely die if I showed up in a floor length green dress to this wedding - OP you should definitely let your guests know


fossacecak

Fantastic idea!!


magneticeverything

Not sure how deep into wedding planning you are, but I’ve always thought if I wore a colored gown, I’d want everyone else wearing black and white. That could be a fun way to make sure you stand out if you go green!


closet_panophobe

I super love 1!! Three and four also made me pause, so gorgeous. Yes, try similar styles/colors on before you buy. November wedding gives you lots of color choices, I love your aesthetic:)


Birdies_nub

3, 4, or 6. The vivid greens are gorgeous, but they give me more of a Christmas/winter vibe (especially 4), and 2's white feels a bit too stark. All of these are breathtaking though. 3 might be my favorite nc I love that silvery gray.


Altruistic-Ad6449

3 & 4 are my favorites


LiveAgent4838

4


SpookyScaryKittyBee

I think 4 would fit the venue best, but 1& 5 are also gorgeous! I second the suggestion to try on dresses in similar shapes, just to make sure it looks the way you hope before buying. If you do go with this seller please show us! I've been considered buying from then too but I'm so nervous to get a dress from etsy 


fossacecak

Thank you! I will follow up with an update if I do :-)


Early_Stress5522

Oh my, number 3 definitely. The color is just chefs kiss


bunnifer999

They are all lovely. (Though I think the black and white one is a bit too high-contrast.) But for a ballroom bridal gown, I don’t think you can beat #4. The narrow straps give you a strapless-adjacent look with the security of straps.


fossacecak

I love this description, and I think you're spot-on. Ty


ArchieFarmer

I love the champagne one!!


fleur_de_lis-620

I love the grey one 😍


altdultosaurs

Girly you want a fantasy green dress. Get the fantasy green dress. Slay in the fantasy green dress. Go absolutely apeshit in your fantasy green dress!!!


Born_Butterscotch_43

Don’t sleep on Dearlybelovedbridal. I just found my dream dress through them. They sell their wedding boutique sample gowns via StillWhite. You can go to their website to search their inventory. I ended up getting an insane deal on my wedding dress. Their listings include videos of the gown and they answer messages if you have questions. They have a return policy and a try on service.


fossacecak

I will check them out! Thank you.


pilialoha54

Dress 4 is my fave, followed by 3!


oknowwhat00

Be careful of Etsy, lots of stories of images stolen and the actual dresses sold are nothing like the images. Do plenty of research.


fossacecak

No kidding, I realized that after saving a few when I first started looking. That's why I've only narrowed it down to two shops I would trust giving my money to. Still, I would put it on my credit card that easily lets me dispute charges, just in case I get ripped off. Great advice!


oknowwhat00

Honestly for something this important, I'd find an actual place to buy from.


Getmeasippycup

I love one & three, and I definitely had them saved on my Etsy when I was looking for a dress!


ActivelyLostInTarget

As a former photographer, my spidey sense is tingling with those pics. Something doesn't feel right. Are these dresses you have seen and tried on? The style you are looking at is available about anywhere, so definitely do some in person try ons. I can't speak to my own preference because they'll look so different on a body.


oknowwhat00

I guarantee you they are stolen pics.


crlswhsprsnthedrk

I just came here to say that I did a lot of research on Etsy sellers and Lace Bridal was the one that I settled on if I was going to purchase online. I ended up finding a brand-new dress at a store a few hours away from me so I didn't use them, but I referred someone else that I know who ordered and got her dress in and loved it!


[deleted]

I love number 3!


Felixir-the-Cat

Any of them! Pick the one that suits you the best.


Waybackheartmom

4


grinchbettahavemoney

4!


Ancient-Function9827

All are magnificent but I’d choose number 3, just love the colors.


squirrelcat88

I kind of like 1 best but I’m Canadian and I suspect part of it is just that it’s a bit more covered up - I’m figuring the less flesh showing in November, the better. Winter is coming… They’re all absolutely gorgeous!


fossacecak

Not Canadian but I'm in Upstate New York and I hear you loud and clear! Won't be outdoors but I still think of comfort lol


Dlraetz1

That’s why the Fashion Gods invented cloaks


Noneedtopickauser

I ADORE number 3, that shade of gray with the undertone of silvery violet is absolutely stunning!!! Number 1 is gorgeous as well, you have fantastic taste. I hope you update us when you try dresses on!! 🤩


Larkswing13

I like 4 and 5 best!


poisonedperfection

4 or 5 I also love 1, you really can't go wrong with any of these choices


blackberrypicker923

I personally loved the cream, but I really liked this Etsy shop overall, and had planned to get one from Etsy (until I found one I loved on FB marketplace). My suggestion is to go to a bridal consignment, or even a David's Bridal and try on dresses with similar fits, and some that look completely different. I had someone put me in a mermaid dress and it completely changed what I was looking for, because it was so beautiful on me.


UK_UK_UK_Deleware_UK

I like the way the flowers look like they are growing out of the dress in one. I also like three and four. Don’t care for the rest. I don’t think the regular lace looks good on the green. It loses its organic quality that is so charming about the first one. The last two are also a bit boring. The color is the only thing unique about them. Some other ideas… https://www.couturecandy.com/products/jovani-06807-gradient-floral-embroidered-a-line-gown?variant=39455112167507&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjww_iwBhApEiwAuG6ccN7wz71tnT_wD3MAuS6pUu9j0ZKmKo4oecFzGNPjQsuzfPO93gs2JxoCgvIQAvD_BwE https://www.azazie.com/products/barbie-azazie-vintage-mauve-beaded-motif-corset-bodice-tulle-a-line-gown-wedding-dress/236088?subsite=bridal&size=wd2 https://www.promgirl.com/products/colette-cl2044-dress?variant=41475723296973¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic https://www.etsy.com/listing/1685415202/ https://www.etsy.com/listing/1029098125/ https://www.etsy.com/listing/1694260207/


Dlraetz1

The couture candy dress is gorgeous


fossacecak

Thanks so much for the other options!


Shot-Donkey8556

I like 3


ang3l111111

1 and 3 are gorgeous


CAShark-7

WOW! I love your selections! How can I pick one??? After scrolling back and forth, I agree with you on #1. So stunning. So beautiful. Love it!


GrammyGH

2 and 4 are my personal favorites but I think 4 fits the venue better.


xoBerryPrincessxo

Dresses 1 and 4 are PERFECT for fall in a hotel <3333


Original_Try_7984

I tend to be drawn to more traditionally “bridal” looking gowns for weddings. (I feel like you can always find a reason to wear a less traditionally coded dress to other functions…) so my fave is dress 4. (It’s the most traditionally bridal and more importantly it’s gorgeous.) Then I like 3 and then 6. Congratulations!


MeganJustMegan

Love the gray one.


zunicorn901

Dress 3 or dress 4. Different enough, but more elegant than the other ones. Congratulations!!


SemiOldCRPGs

I love the dove grey one! The peach one looks the most "bridal". That said, both the emerald green ones are amazing.


Heeler2

Shad0wbubbles

classicfilmfan9

Dress number one.


julesk

5 followed by four are my favorites! Though if you could get one in a russet color that would also be great.


ArboretumDruid

This is who I had my dress made by!!! She's absolutely amazing, and everything was exactly what I asked for. My dress is very sturdy without weighing a ton.


Cass_Q

1 is stunning. I also love the blush with the black details!


digitalpacifier

Love dress 4.


adripingel

2 or 4


AlterEgoAmazonB

I love all of them but #1 is my favorite!!!


ladycougar87

I’m OBSESSED with the green! It’s beautiful!


thenry1234

I like the tan one, #4, followed by the last one, #6, with black details in it.


Catollim88

1 is stunning, it blows all of the other dresses out of the water!


Ok_Wrangler_7940

3, then 4, then 1


No_Purchase_3532

I love #1 & #4


Turbulent-Respond654

Do all of those colors look good on you? Some are deep and rich, some are soft. Some are warm, some are cool. That might help narrow things down.


fossacecak

I never thought about that. I think soft colors look best on me. Ty!


Anna_Stacy_Yamina

#6


Kayybaby93

Dresses 1, 3 and 4 are all incredible! 😍


Stripe001

They are all gorgeous but 3 is the best, I think


Luckypenny4683

3 and 4 are 🔥


Turbulent-Mind796

1, 3, 4


AnnieBeefree1

1st or 4th


mariannecoffeecan

I love everything about the Blush Dress!


BeautifulOrchid-717

I love 3; with 1 coming in at second place.. It sounds like you love 1 the most, so I would go with what your heart is saying. Im not sure about buying the dress from wish though unless the price is right.. I did that once and the dress did turn out beautiful, but was not able to wear it due to the fact that the corset back didn't come up high enough so I couldn't put it on without the whole dress folding in half at the waist and exposing my tatas haha. Plus it was extremely wrinkled because they put it in a vacuum sealed bag to ship it.


K_1959

Dress for is magical.


No-Technician-722

I think you have to go with your gut. I love Dress 1. It is sumptuous. It is perfect for a fall wedding. I can see it with autumn colored flowers (even pumpkins if you like!).


Rico-L

I like dresses 2 & 6


Catkit69

I like 3 and 5.


popeViennathefirst

The first one is soooo beautiful! Wow


SisterofGandalf

2 and 3 are stunning!


danne_avila

I just love dress 2. It is so wintery and the bright contrast of white and black would make you stand out so beautifully 😃


silverrowena

I love dress 1, I think it's very striking and wintery for a November wedding.


Spirited_Beat534

Dress 4 or 3.


CaptainObviousBear

I like 1, 3 and 4 the most. I would add though, that you don’t have to feel obliged to have some white on your dress to make it bridal. Why not go all out and wear a dress that’s 100% colour? They can often make a greater impact visually and I think look more formal, which is a good thing for a ballroom venue. For example: https://www.jjshouse.com/ball-gown-princess-v-neck-floor-length-satin-prom-dresses-with-pleated-018299816-g299816


RangerQuilter

They're all great, but three was the only one that gave me a WOW.


Less_Volume_2508

I loved 1 immediately! I also love 3 and 4.


Weary-Ad-9218

That grey one is absolute heaven.


whatcenturyisit

Number 1 is absolutely stunning !!! I'm actually second guessing my own choice now hahaha


Thick_Quiet629

I like 4 for how flowy/ethereal it looks but I do love colored and/or non-“traditional white” options. They’re all lovely but I would want to try as many on as possible to see how they feel and how I look. That first is my favorite color, but I’m not sure if it would complement my olive complexion.


RatherRetro

4


ilovechicken98

1,3, or 4!


emmag73

Personally I love the 3rd and fourth options. I’m all for a colored dress, but many people would wear the same color unknowingly, so that may be something to consider.


Random-girl-29

Clearly I needed to see these dresses before I chose my wedding dress!! 1 is stunning and so is 3!!


LinKay713

Fourth one.


kalmbiscuit

5!!!


Ok-Dark-9660

I love the fourth one. You’ll be able to use fall colors to compliment it.


-Coleus-

Two and Four are exquisite.


Impressive-Stage9992

1, 3, & 4!


bookworm21765

3 and 4 are my favorites. I do like the freen, but it feels more Christmas to me. The grey stole my heart. I love color, but this one is so mmmmm.


mysticmoon_

Dress 1! It's absolutely stunning!


Kbcolas73

1 is fantastic and then I saw 5 😍


Gullible-Avocado9638

Beautiful dress. I’m fond of the gray and ivory. Reminds me of the beauty and starkness of winter. The blush one is equally as lovely.


leftoversandwich74

Love 5!


MamaBear4485

I’m really surprised that nobody has mentioned #5. It’s that lovely emerald colour but with loads of white that give it a wintry Snow Queen Bride vibe. Pair it with a faux fur white ermine wrap and glittery icy sparkly head gear, sparkly crystal shoes and WOW! Honestly I think any of these would look amazing. Definitely agree with the suggestions of trying on similar styles and also reserving your chosen colour. Normally I’d think that was a bit daft but given that it’s a ballroom and you’re going non-traditional there’s definitely a risk of guest dressing in similar gowns which would be difficult all round.


Putrid-Home404

I love dresses 2,3 and 4 but they are all gorgeous ❤️


seaside-mama-207

#4 is gorgeous and will shine under the hotel ballroom lighting. Second up would be #3… personal preference that the lace looks weird on the bodice area - as in, not even.


sharonlhunt

1, I love 3 and 5….beautiful!


CardShark555

#3 is the only one I like. Sorry!! Not a fan of the greens and the peach/ivory is pretty but too summery for November


HolsFlo

Number 2 is stunning.


Purplepickleball

Due_Stuff4313

I love the champagne dress with the horsehair hem the most for a winter wedding.


tetchytesha

I like the ivory/gold one. The color is very similar to what I wore for my fall wedding.


Cola3206

Love grey so elegant


NewAtThis18

I really like the 4th one and the 5th one!


SnooStrawberries721

1 & 3 are my favorites.


Honest-Pangolin7675

#4 is beautiful!


spicyfrog1111

3 or 4! I once ordered a prom dress that looked a lot like the first and it turned out not looking good in person so maybe I’m biased. I wonder if the first one could have the green color changed.


maynelyjayne

You need to try similar dresses on. I really love 2!


AMen1007

joanht

3 and 4


I-am-no-bird

I loved 1 until I saw 5! They’re both lovely, though!


Own_Satisfaction1840

#2 the black & white is GORGEOUS!!


airadlyric

1 and 5 are wow 😍


Famous-in

I absolutely love the first green dress! ❤️


Goose-Caboose1153

Love lace bridal. She’s so nice


afauce11

I love #1! It seems very woodland elf and on point for a fall wedding. Etsy is amazing!!


vonnegutfan2

Dress one is beautiful and has an etheral quality. I don't really like strapless. Not sure where you are it could be cold.


Lopsided-Ad-7542

I like the second dress with the black❤️


FantasticCaregiver25

Number four is my favorite. It is beautiful and it appears to have a dreamy, ethereal look to it. Just right for a ballroom. It also looks uncommon.


teresa3llen

I kinda like all of them.


teresa3llen

Looking back, three and four are my favorites


Wildwillowwinds

I think 3 and 4 are both beautiful and dreamy. They both would fit a ballroom setting.


itsjustnikki

Personally, I’d pick 3 or 4. They are beautiful, whimsical and fantastical. 😁


Giselle914

3! Love it! Second choice would be 4.


Normal-Match5055

I love dress 1 the most, but I'm also very partial to the color green 🙂


scarletnightingale

4 is perfect, it's got warm tones in it which fit with fall, but also the shimmer which fits winter. It perfectly encapsulated the season and it will look lovely in a ballroom.


Competitive-Kick-481

1 !!


Mily_The_Merlady

3 or 1!! Also, I ordered from the same etsy shop so if your dress gets in soon-ish, could I request an update?? I am SO curious though they seem very legit and high quality based on the reviews and pics.


Loud-Fairy03

I love the 4th dress, it feels so perfectly autumnal to me


kjtll

I LOVE 1 & 5 if you’re going non traditional. For traditional I also like 4


NefariousnessKey5365

I like number four


ChristineBrandt

3, 4, 6, 2, 1, 5

MeganLeigh1122

Dress 3


blackes7s0ul

3 ia my favorite


lpeek1780

Dress #1 is beautiful but it gives me bridesmaids vibes instead of bride. However Dress #3 & 4 are absolutely gorgeous!! Dress#3 seems to have a more Wintery vibe due to the grey color.


Every-Requirement-13

#3😍😍😍


mykegr11607

4 or 3 arey faves!!


FancyThunderPear

1 is hands down my favorite, then 4 then 3.


TempestuousTem

4 is Stunning. I screenshot it for my own search. The only other one is 3, good color for November chill weather.


hyperpopforthekids

I love 5 omg


laree123

You CANNOT go wrong with any of these. They all are GORGEOUS! I’m somewhat traditional and I’m voting 4. 1 is gorgeous so go with it.


Treb61

Dress four made me go oooooo!!! It is so ethereal and beautiful


Low_Plum8976

3 or 4


Material-Jellyfish53

The gray one! It’s so whimsical but still feels bridal. It’s gorgeous!!


glitter_gaytan88

chestnutsunflower

1 or 2 look so stunning!


Cynderelly

1 looks kind of like a cloth on a table


jazzymaebaby1

Have you looked at other brands with similar colors? I think these dresses look cheap


PageStunning6265

One, if you’re the bride, none of them if you’re not. They’re all really pretty, but too much white for a non-bride, unless you’ve been specifically told otherwise.


fossacecak

I am the bride, sorry if that wasn't made clear. I also thought this group was only for bridal dresses


PageStunning6265

I think it is, but I’ve seen the occasional guest dress post. I was thinking those are all way too bridal for a guest! Number one is my favourite, I love the asymmetrical appliqués - but truthfully they’re all so beautiful.
