Answer 1

Neither. While they are cute and sexy, they are too short. They both look more like a prom dress than wedding guest attire. An evening wedding is an formal affair, and usually you want to look more elegant, and less sexy. Remember that at a wedding the bride should be the center of attention, and not her guests. And you might end up looking trampy, instead of sexy, to some of the other guests, especially the older relatives who might not keep their opinions to themselves. You don't want to have to put up with rude comments from narrow minded people that might ruin your enjoyment of the event.

Try a longer dress. Any of these would work for a winter evening wedding.

Then something like this for a cute, youthful, shoe.

Pull your hair up and back around your face, and leave the back down. Add a cute clip in the back, and you're ready to go. It's an easy style to do, and it will hold up well as you dance and move around at the reception. It will also show off your face, neckline of a dress, and any jewelry you choose to wear. Curls will give you a flirty look, straight will give you a sleek, elegant look.

Then I would go with dramatic eye makeup, in whatever colors will complement you best. Keep your lip color a more neutral color so you have less worry about it fading and wearing off as you eat and drink.

Answer 2

Definetly the second one, the big flower on the first one will get in your way and look really weird under your coat. The print or knit of the lace on the first one is to big and may look cheap. The second one has a more formal look that would definetly be better for a late wedding and is a little longer which is more fancy and has a second layer lining under it which i think is cute, more simple and elegant but still pretty. The way the lace just stops on dress one looks unfinished and not very good!
I would just go with some simple black heels and some smoky eyes and medium glossy lips.
I dont really know what for your hair, i also just straigten mine and go! But i would definetly put it up!
Hope I helped!!!! :)

Hi.
Firstly, I need to tell you, I love your taste.

Now, both the dresses are beautiful, but it all boils down to your body type. If you've got wider hips, the glitter lace strapless dress is the way to go.

If you're skinnier, try the first one.

Black shoes with beige details will look fine, or to stick to the safe side, pick black.

If you like a dash of color, try carrying a handbag in a red. But look out for the right shade of crimson, else, it won't go.

Beige shoes and a beige bag are ok too..
Keep your mind open, look around a bit.

And
GoodLuck!!

Answer 4

I love the first dress. That is ADORABLE. I'd do a really classic like Audrey Hepburn hair with it up in either a french twist or in a bun. Then a smokey eye with black liner and black eye shadow. For a necklace I'd do either some pearls or a pretty delicate necklace.
IF you're still looking for dresses check out www.ardenb.com, www.bebe.com and even Victoriassecret.com has some great dresses.
HAVE FUN!

Answer 5

I love those dresses! I think that they are ok for a wedding then. Just like, bring a black sweater wit you so if you get cold or something (becasue the dresses are sleeveless) and wear high heeled black shoes. I think that you should wear the 2nd one. Wear your hair up (go to a salon or something) if you arent great a doing your own hair. Have fun at the wedding!!!!!

Answer 6

The first one I like the best. The shoes should be all black/strap/ heel. Nothing too loud, it will take away from the dress. Because it's strapless, I would wear your hair up in a twist or part your hair to the side and tie back in a sleek low pony tail.

Answer 7

I think the first dress is more stylish and elegant. IF you wear a strapless dress to the wedding cover the top with a black lace or satin short jacket and take the jacket off for the reception. Black satin shoes and small black purse. It is the brides occasion and not the guests. All eyes should be on her.

Answer 8

I like the second one better, but for such a late wedding, I think you should wear something longer and more formal. Usually, the later the wedding, the more formal the occasion is. As with any strapless dress, you should wear your hair up. As for shoes, you want to look for something comfy (in case you're dancing) and stylish.

Good luck!

Yvonne... Did I miss something? I thought this way WAY after Labor Day... You don't wear white after Labor Day, it just looks dumb!

Answer 9

I like the first one..
and a great way for your makeup is schedule an appointment at Dillards (if you have one) or maybe Macy's and they will give you a great makeover FOR FREE! ..and for your hair.. i dont know what to tell you!
