The Search For THE ONE continues….

posted by on 2012.05.17, under Wedding

I think it just hit me now that my wedding is in 2.5 months and that I DONT have a dress yet! It’s a bit unsettling that I have pretty much EVERYTHING done except for finding THE dress. Here a couple of shots that the amazing Jana Williams shot of me at my GENLUX  magazine bridal cover shoot. (HERE’S a peak at the cover shot)  I’ve tried on possibly every type of dress that you can imagine…but why oh why is it so hard for me to pick out THE ONE?

So maybe YOU can be my stylist this time around. What style should my Wedding Dress be?

1.Soft & Romantic (1st  & last look)

dress by Monique Lhuillier//Sash- Temperley London//Shoes- Christian Louboutin

2.Classic & Vintage ( 2nd & 3rd look)

dress by Monique Lhuillier //Sash- Temperley London

3. Glam & a bit of Drama (4th look)

dress by Tadashi Shoji/ headpiece by Twigs & Honey//Shoes- Christian Louboutin

Let me know your thoughts!!!

Soft & Romantic !!!
But I think you should keep searching, all dresses are really cute, but I think you can still find one that fits perfectly for the day (and your personality) and when you find it…U WILL KNOW! ….The one that makes you feel like you can stand up against every disney princess…that´s the dress, lol
Good luck my fashion guru =)

I really like the Classic and Vintage white one! It is so beautiful and i feel that not alot of people can pull it off,well, not anyone i know. It really does fit you like a glove! =] God Bless you and your family! <3

Carmen ( May 18, 2012 at 1:42 AM )

The 2nd look is great and really sassy on you!

Giulia ( May 18, 2012 at 1:41 AM )

I both like the Soft & Romantic and the Classic & Vintage looks. But if I really need to choose one, I’ll have the Classic & Vintage dress! It’s very classy and is really really cute! But if I were on your shoes, I really can’t decide what dress to wear as well! All three of them are fantastic dresses! ♥

GMae ( May 18, 2012 at 1:30 AM )

Classic and vintage, second and third pics, love it, elegant and just fits your personality

Karen Ong ( May 18, 2012 at 1:28 AM )

I love the 3rd and the 4th look!!!!!!

Shey ( May 18, 2012 at 1:25 AM )

lace! its amazing :)

Patrycja ( May 18, 2012 at 1:13 AM )

Totally 2nd dress because it is timeless :)

Chloe ( May 18, 2012 at 1:08 AM )

Definitely the Classic vintage it is very feminine and looks way better on you. It shows your amazing figure. The others make you body look more masculine than you really are. The lace makes your boobies look AMAZING!

Olivia ( May 18, 2012 at 1:01 AM )

Classic and Vintage :)

Teresa ( May 18, 2012 at 12:41 AM )

The second dress is amazing!! :)

Ludo ( May 18, 2012 at 12:34 AM )

The lace one is perfect for you!

Hannah ( May 18, 2012 at 12:13 AM )

The second one! The one with the lace :D It works really well for you<3

Abigail ( May 18, 2012 at 12:13 AM )

All look very nice dresses but I want you to wear 2nd&3rd:) Look very very nice!

oyu ( May 18, 2012 at 12:00 AM )

the first one is so chic! :) it fits perfectly to you.

Chrissi ( May 17, 2012 at 11:58 PM )

*I ment The vintage one is The winner ( also Think it’s more romantic) :)

Maria Louise bendixe ( May 17, 2012 at 11:57 PM )

I love The bag on and The sleves on The vintage on. It’s soo pretty and feminin and special.
I Think that The First one look really good ob you, But for you I Think it’s too ‘clean’ for being your wedding dress.
The drama looks cool, But I defenately Think that a wedding dress sould be romantic and Kind of innocent. It also sould Make people cry because it’s a biiig new step in life and they Want The Best for you (I know it might sound a little wierd). The theird one won’t let tears Fall. The romontic is The wedding winner.
I hope you find The right one and have a amazing Day! :)

Maria Louise bendixe ( May 17, 2012 at 11:55 PM )

Definitely the 2nd and 3rd one (Vintage). It’s traditional and it suits you BEST. However the 4th (Glam) dress is definitely something different, which you are capable of pulling off. Though I think that sort of dress is much more suited for the evening ;)

Michelle Leo ( May 17, 2012 at 11:28 PM )

2.Classic & Vintage ( 2nd & 3rd look)

pv ( May 17, 2012 at 11:25 PM )

Please make me and you a big gift and take the second one. The lace are just so nice!!

Stephanie ( May 17, 2012 at 11:23 PM )

I love the lace one (classic & vintage).

Fariha T. ( May 17, 2012 at 11:17 PM )

The lace is simply stunning.

I am trying to find my wedding dress too but my wedding isn’t for 17 months.

Best wishes for your upcoming wedding, so exciting!

Hayley ( May 17, 2012 at 11:15 PM )

The long sleeved lace! . The first one was gorgeous too, but not flattering at the chest.

MihanaD ( May 17, 2012 at 11:08 PM )

Think lacy & vintage looks the best on ya as it complemented your body shape n curls well. But I think it will be better if going along that line but less covered up. You could dress dramatic for evening gown. I think that will be fun! Haha.

Gigi Oh ( May 17, 2012 at 10:51 PM )

The second one (long-sleeved lace) ;)

thania ( May 17, 2012 at 10:47 PM )

i like the 1st it look so nice on you

amy ( May 17, 2012 at 10:41 PM )

You look absolutely stunning in the class/vintage dress. The entire dress is amazing and I love the sleeves. Plus the embellishment on the waist is too cute! I hope you pick this one! Best wishes and congrats on your engagement!

Jennifer ( May 17, 2012 at 10:38 PM )

I personally think vintage one is like it is meant to be :D seriously, it really suits you and your style. Definitely VINTAGE!!!

Liz ( May 17, 2012 at 10:38 PM )

I’ve got to vote for 2.Classic & Vintage but Chriselle you would look beautiful in anything.

Amanda ( May 17, 2012 at 10:35 PM )

the 2nd and 3rd one :)

candy ( May 17, 2012 at 10:35 PM )

the first or second one!

Beatrice ( May 17, 2012 at 10:29 PM )

Most definitely the CLASSIC VINTAGE one. looks the best on you!!

Scarlet ( May 17, 2012 at 10:24 PM )

LACE! Lace is always so beautiful and it looks fantastic on you. (:

Sandy ( May 17, 2012 at 10:10 PM )

Oh…definitely the 2nd..lace dress.I think it is the one, it suits your faces perfectly. But of course it or number 3(2 is my pick for you). Good Luck

Slimbee ( May 17, 2012 at 9:59 PM )

The lace dress is absolutely stunning on you! Completely gorgeous, timeless, and unique.

Nkauj ( May 17, 2012 at 9:50 PM )

I definitely agree w/ what the majority is telling. I for one would go for the second look which the classic and vintage. It looks so elegant, classic, and eternal, conservative yet sexy. But then, any dress would look good in you anyway. More Power! xx

Narumi ( May 17, 2012 at 9:40 PM )

CLASSIC & VINTAGE, all the way.
you look so pretty!

Stella Chung ( May 17, 2012 at 9:39 PM )

I’m in love with the classic & vintage look ♥
i love the glam look too but you may look back and wish for a ‘white wedding’. it’s a dress that you should probably dress up for another event.

best wishes chriselle

deyna ( May 17, 2012 at 9:38 PM )

The second one!!!!!

Chantelle ( May 17, 2012 at 9:36 PM )

Second one allllllll the way! It’s so feminine and beautiful, and it compliments your frame amazingly. Its absolutely stunning!

Tayler ( May 17, 2012 at 9:29 PM )

Absolutely the 2nd one, Classic and Vintage look, it looks beautiful on you, the dress makes your whole outlook elegant and stunning!

claudia ( May 17, 2012 at 9:19 PM )

Although the first one is gorgeous, and I LOVE IT, it doesn’t look for me like a wedding gaun. I’ll have to go with the 2nd one, still really pretty.

Laura ( May 17, 2012 at 9:15 PM )

Totally the Classic & Vintage one.

SuChan ( May 17, 2012 at 9:12 PM )

I absolutely love the long sleeved lace dress! Its so feminine and classic, yet different. I think it fits your personality perfectly! + You look gorgeous in it. Congratulations, and I hope you have an amazing wedding day!

Naomi ( May 17, 2012 at 9:12 PM )

The second, the Second & Third one <3 <3 <3

Lila Rosado ( May 17, 2012 at 9:10 PM )

classic and vintage! so chic!

Sue ( May 17, 2012 at 9:07 PM )

The soft and romantic piece just makes me feel like getting married! Absolute stunner!

Claudia ( May 17, 2012 at 9:05 PM )

The second one! You’re absolutely BEAUTIFUL in it! I would love to wear that kind of classic and vintage dress one day when I get married too! :P Congrats Chriselle! Good luck with all the preparations and stuff!

Lilian ( May 17, 2012 at 9:04 PM )

the SECOND one! You look so beautiful and elegant in that lace dress, though it is a long sleeve dress, the V cut and the bow at the back can show your good body shape. Anyways, hope you can soon find your perfect THE ONE! <3

Janice ( May 17, 2012 at 9:03 PM )

They’re all gorgeous, however the classic vintage has much more of a structure to it and will accentuate your shape in all the right places. It’s just beautiful and elegant.

Julie ( May 17, 2012 at 9:02 PM )

LOVE LOVE the lacey dress!!!!!!! :)

Amy ( May 17, 2012 at 9:01 PM )

The Lace one Rocks… :)

Shruti ( May 17, 2012 at 9:00 PM )

The “classic and vintage” one!!! it looks really good on you and the lace is soo pretty and elegant ;)

R ( May 17, 2012 at 8:58 PM )

#2. Classic and vintage. All look beautiful on you but #2 seems to suit you the best!

Teagan ( May 17, 2012 at 8:41 PM )

the long sleeved lace! it’s timeless and you looks classic, you’ll look pretty and up to date even when you’re grandchildren look at the pictures of your wedding :)
plus, modesty is sexy ;)

Ami Schaheera ( May 17, 2012 at 8:38 PM )

Soft & Romantic or Classic & Vintage ( 2nd & 3rd look). I don’t like the drama one that much…

Mei ( May 17, 2012 at 8:38 PM )

The second dress I LOVE IT!!

zenaida ( May 17, 2012 at 8:35 PM )

Love the lacey dress!!!!!

Jestina ( May 17, 2012 at 8:31 PM )

Congratulations I am so happy for you! You look absolutely beautiful in all of the dresses, my personal favorite is the soft and romantic look. It is a beautiful and graceful style that frames your body nicely, but anything you choose will look beautiful on you. I wish you the best of luck!

Christina ( May 17, 2012 at 8:30 PM )

The first and third one are beautiful but the second one has a timeless elegance to it.

Hannah ( May 17, 2012 at 8:28 PM )

I think you should go with the Classic and Vintage because the whole look just suits you so well and I just get a different vibe from that one compared to the other two. You don’t have to go over the top with the glam and drama because I think that just kinda overshadows your beauty and everybody needs to see how pretty you are! :)

Karla ( May 17, 2012 at 8:27 PM )

Soft and romantic! You’re so pretty :)

Lauren Fish ( May 17, 2012 at 8:21 PM )

Soft and romantic!

Lauren Fish ( May 17, 2012 at 8:21 PM )

The first one, while beautiful, seems has too low of a neckline, make it over-revealing. I think the 2nd one is very elegant and Grace Kelly-like!

beni ( May 17, 2012 at 8:20 PM )

You should pick the long sleeve 2nd and 3rd look. The detailing on that dress is to die for. Also the dropped back is just so beautiful. It gives the dress a very romantic elegant feel. Not to mention its flowiness and the neckline falls just right. You look amazing in it!

Hly ( May 17, 2012 at 8:17 PM )

Definitely 2.Classic & Vintage ( 2nd & 3rd look)

dress by Monique Lhuillier //Sash- Temperley London

1st one make you look too skinny and make your chest look not pretty..

But I also liked the dress that you wore from magazine cover

Alice ( May 17, 2012 at 8:14 PM )

definitely the classic and vintage either 2 or 3 :) so pretty!

Sarah ( May 17, 2012 at 8:13 PM )

3. Glam with a bit of drama! You know your guest are expecting a statement from someone with such a great sense of fashion!!

Totally Tammy ( May 17, 2012 at 8:13 PM )

The Classic and Vintage one! The long lacy style just looks so beautiful and elegant on you, and it’s so flattering. More than any of the other dresses in my opinion. :) You’re beautiful, and so is that dress!

Coffee ( May 17, 2012 at 8:12 PM )

classic and vintage. reminds me of purity. :D

Angela ( May 17, 2012 at 8:11 PM )

The classic and vintage one!!! You look amazing in that dress, Chriselle <33

Sherly ( May 17, 2012 at 8:11 PM )

Classic & Vintage – the perfect dress for you!!! Love ya :)

Pamela ( May 17, 2012 at 8:01 PM )

The 2nd look….Classic & Vintage It looks great on you!

Crystal ( May 17, 2012 at 7:56 PM )

i think the one only our magazine cover is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

m ( May 17, 2012 at 7:56 PM )

I pick the 2nd look “Classic and Vintage”. I love the use of lace and the look of the dress overall. It’s very classy and you look absolutely amazing! Congratulations on your marriage, and I hope you can pick THE ONE soon! Haha.

Amy ( May 17, 2012 at 7:54 PM )

I think the second one looks really good. It conforms and compliments your body shape very well as it shows your thin waist and long arms off. The whiteness of the dress helps bring about the sophisticated and pure look. The dress is also vintage style which goes well with you also. This also kind of reminds me of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, which is absolutely lovely and amazing. Congratulations on your soon-to-come marriage! Best of wishes! <3

Theresa ( May 17, 2012 at 7:42 PM )

the 2nd dress!! its beautiful,.

carla cruz ( May 17, 2012 at 7:39 PM )

2nd dress all the way, the classic vintage look kooks absolutely stunning on you

Olivia Jardin ( May 17, 2012 at 7:28 PM )

Definitely the first one in my opinion. There’s two much going on with the third dress and I really am not one that enjoys long sleeved dresses. The first just looks so much more feminine to me.

Rachel ( May 17, 2012 at 7:27 PM )

I vote the lace.

Keke Agar ( May 17, 2012 at 7:25 PM )

I’m loving looks 1 and 2! But I think the vintage lace dress looks super pretty on you!

Renee ( May 17, 2012 at 7:17 PM )

Definitely the second one. The Classic & Vintage look will be timeless and when you look back at your photos in the future, it won’t look dated. =D Think Grace Kelly! <3

Florence ( May 17, 2012 at 7:16 PM )

Oh I mean the gown ;;) not the wedding :P

Holly ( May 17, 2012 at 7:08 PM )

omgoodness! i just love the second one with the lace. it look so beautiful, and the low back is really pretty. The last one is my second choice :) . hope you pick one soon.

Racquel ( May 17, 2012 at 7:07 PM )

i think the classic&vintage style is the best for you…
hm…may i ask?where will be your honeymoon place?is Bali on your list?
*im indonesian.. :D

fhee ( May 17, 2012 at 7:07 PM )

The vintage long-sleeved lace one Chriselle. You own it.

Glady ( May 17, 2012 at 7:07 PM )

The wedding in the first and the last pic. U look absolutely breath-taking.

Holly ( May 17, 2012 at 7:07 PM )

The classic and vintage !

Laura ( May 17, 2012 at 7:04 PM )

2nd look best :D

Momo ( May 17, 2012 at 7:01 PM )

Hi Chriselle, I’m a fashion student from Victoria, Australia and have been following you since you’ve started. I love your styling and am constantly looking for inspiration from you everyday :) I’m also getting married in march next year and love your wedding tips too. I really like all the looks from you but there is on Australian designer that I believe would suit your style perfectly. It’s soft, feminine but the embellish details are out of this world and I believe you’ll look amazing in the style of her gowns. The designer is Gwendolynne. I hope this helps in someway with choosing your dream dress :) good luck and congratulations!

Julie ( May 17, 2012 at 6:52 PM )

FIRST AND LAST ONE

Alice Lee ( May 17, 2012 at 6:49 PM )

Classic & Vintage ( 2nd & 3rd look)look, looks very good on you

Tina ( May 17, 2012 at 6:48 PM )

Definitely the Vintage. <3

Keianna Fernandez ( May 17, 2012 at 6:44 PM )

I think the first look is the best!

Autumn ( May 17, 2012 at 6:42 PM )

Definitely the Classic and Vintage look. 100%

SuChan ( May 17, 2012 at 6:35 PM )

The second one (long-sleeved lace) suits you bestessst! Congratulations on your wedding soon!

Ria ( May 17, 2012 at 6:33 PM )

2nd and 3rd will look amazing on u!! <3

t3wwi3 ( May 17, 2012 at 6:31 PM )

The 1st doesn’t flatter your chest at all. The second one all the way!

melisa g ( May 17, 2012 at 6:31 PM )

definitely the second lace dress. it compliments your thin body and the full lace arms accentuate how feminine and long they are. also, its not too revealing in the front, but has that nice peek of skin with the backless V-cut. please please please wear that one! its perfect for you <3

Isabella ( May 17, 2012 at 6:30 PM )

THE LONG SLEEVE LACE ONE!!!! It’s absolutely stunning and that style is definitely making a come back. You look amazing in it and would look even more beautiful wearing it on your wedding day :) However, you would still look just as great in any of them. Congrats! xx
