Weekend Wear - Garden Wedding

Remember this post where I shared some gowns that I was contemplating for a black tie wedding we have coming up this summer??? Well they both arrived and were just a bit too matronly and chez boring on me. So I was back on the hunt for the perfect dress for my beautiful friends big day. I then came across this dress and I knew it was perfect for the formal garden occasion. Ding... Ding... Ding, I think we have a winner folks! So excited for this beauty to arrive...here's hoping it's just as fabulous in person as it is online!

Black Tie

It's pretty rare for my husband and I to have an affair where the attire calls for black tie. Now that I think of it, I have never even seen my husband in a tuxedo! Well that is all about to change early this summer when we help celebrate a dear friends big day. I couldn't be more excited about getting glammed up for a formal evening celebrating a special couples happiest moment. Afraid to get stuck in a pinch last minute, I have been keeping my eye out there for an evening gown to wear and the two below have caught my attention. I adore the navy color on both but the first beaded detail and clover pattern on the back of the gown is so pretty but the second dress has gathering in all the right places which makes me feel like it would be more flattering {and this girl needs all the hip disguising I can get}. I need your help....

Which is your favorite???
