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!!!

the second one is a win!

malak ( May 20, 2012 at 4:48 AM )

Of course classic and vintage.

Valeriya ( May 20, 2012 at 3:46 AM )

Classic and vintage, definitely.

Joan ( May 19, 2012 at 5:23 PM )

Classic and vintage. Love that dress on you.

Heyni Solera ( May 19, 2012 at 1:15 PM )

Definitely the vintage one! Goshh love that one soo muchh ! Looks a bit like the one that Kate Middleton wore btw.. But the long sleeves are anyway amazing! :D Good luch with choosing the right dress!

Mendy ( May 19, 2012 at 1:07 PM )

Lace – and – Laces
The best look for you is the second dress, it’s a full vintage and romantic lace dress. I love it, beside … it looked like it designed for you!

Cindie Do ( May 19, 2012 at 12:37 PM )

2. Classic and Vintage

Toni ( May 19, 2012 at 11:38 AM )

I love the Soft & Romantic AND the Classic & Vintage, but it’s all up to you! You are beautiful in everything you put together. My only concern would be if the lace sleeves become uncomfortable in the summer heat, but that type of problem usually depends on where your ceremony will be and everything. I wish you the best!

Serena ( May 19, 2012 at 9:17 AM )

2.Classic & Vintage ( 2nd & 3rd look)
It’s amazing! Looks perfect on you)

Ksu ( May 19, 2012 at 9:16 AM )

kathy ( May 19, 2012 at 6:09 AM )

Wups, i ment number 1 and 2 :-D

Oline ( May 19, 2012 at 5:57 AM )

Number 2 and 3, so classic :-)

Oline ( May 19, 2012 at 5:56 AM )

DEFINITELY THE SECOND ONE.
Wish you the best! Have a happy and wonderful marriage! (:

Afrodite ( May 19, 2012 at 5:21 AM )

Definitely classic and vintage! you suit it 100% :D

linda ( May 19, 2012 at 4:23 AM )

id go for the soft and romantic..
i went to a lot of weddings and brides do look great showing their sexy skin with gown flowing while they walk the isle..
good both in photos, videos and also in person..

shiela grace ( May 19, 2012 at 3:56 AM )

definitely the vintage. looks like everyone before me thinks the same too!

Shirley ( May 19, 2012 at 3:53 AM )

I’d go for classic and vintage! this dress looks like it was made for you.

Lisa ( May 19, 2012 at 2:22 AM )

Classic and vintage :D

Rachelle ( May 19, 2012 at 12:33 AM )

2.Classic & Vintage LOOK the best
You are very skinny the 1st one sow your bone it is scary to me

lindas ( May 18, 2012 at 8:14 PM )

The “I’m-already-pregnant-look” is best. If I am wrong about your tastes in clothes, please, I just mean that you appear to be gaining weight or are a little heavier in the eyes and hips – that’s all. Though you don’t look pregnant or anything.
I think that you should wear the wedding dress that makes you look the most desirable. I mean, what husband wouldn’t want his wife to be the least pregnant looking woman there ever was? Really, that’s all. The last picture is hottest. Give him that.

jedi ( May 18, 2012 at 8:02 PM )

classic and vintage, please, i’m not bashing but no.1 is lack of drapery in the chest area, it make your figure look too thin. i love glam drama tadashi shoji minus the drama (the feathers or what it calls)

lily ( May 18, 2012 at 7:03 PM )

Asdfghjkl! You look so pretty in all of them! Personally, I really like the classic and vintage on! (:

Vanessa Kwan ( May 18, 2012 at 6:58 PM )

You’re so glamorous! I think the 4th look – the headpiece, overcoat and shoes fits your style and personality the best!

Gina Zammit ( May 18, 2012 at 6:19 PM )

I love the first one it suites you best
god bless on your wedding

Caitlyn ( May 18, 2012 at 6:01 PM )

You have really amazing shoulders and collarbones so the soft and romantic look really shows that off!
But I think the vintage look is a bit more different, just because more bridal dresses seem to show more flesh, and this will stand out. The back cut-out is very nice too!
But based on the fact that you’ll probably take more photos from the front, I’d vote the soft and romantic look… If you think you can work the vintage look’s cut-out into a lot of your photos, then go for that ;)
Either way, I’m sure you’ll look wonderful! Enjoy

Karen ( May 18, 2012 at 5:23 PM )

I love how all the dresses looks on you! I think the best dress that looks nice on you would be #1. Soft & Romantic! It gives that elegant look which looks beautiful on you. But personally, it would be in between the Classic & Vintage one, and Soft & Romantic. I think the 4th looks a little too much. But either one, they all look beautiful on you! I wish you to have happy wedding <3

Angel ( May 18, 2012 at 5:13 PM )

Although I luv the way the glam looks that romantic sooooo right for you. XD

Jelissa White ( May 18, 2012 at 5:04 PM )

They all look absolutely beautiful on you, but I think the best choice is definitely the classic vintage dress! It’s absolutely perfect for your body shape and slender arms.

Kim ( May 18, 2012 at 4:46 PM )

I loved the classic vintage dress on you. The lace arms is a must! It’s so gorgeous on your skin tone and with your slender arms. And the little bit of bling at the hip just pulls it all together <3 love it!

Niki ( May 18, 2012 at 4:18 PM )

Criselle, you look pretty using all them! But I personally liked the Classic & Vintage one! I wish you make a good choice for your big day!

Narumi ( May 18, 2012 at 3:21 PM )

the 4th look looks great and combining between romantic,elegant and glam

ns ( May 18, 2012 at 2:26 PM )

classic and vintage! looks amazing on you!

Svetlana ( May 18, 2012 at 2:23 PM )

Chriselle I’m so happy for you. I chose #2

Tylor ( May 18, 2012 at 1:43 PM )

depends on the venue of where you’re getting married. but overall the second look fits you better… it’s sweet & innocent, plus it’ll look great from years to come. the first one is pretty but not for your body type, makes your shoulders/chest wider than they probably are in real life and… ummm… makes you look like you have no breats. sorry. <3

ana ( May 18, 2012 at 1:27 PM )

i would go with the vintage one, it’s just… breath taking !

Suad ( May 18, 2012 at 1:17 PM )

It’s really difficult to have a decision as all of the looks are very pretty, but i will choose 1.Soft & Romantic

Manyee.K ( May 18, 2012 at 12:41 PM )

Vintage. love love love lace :D

Shreya ( May 18, 2012 at 12:29 PM )

They’re all beautiful but I think you really glow in the FIRST ONE!

Sai ( May 18, 2012 at 12:20 PM )

dear chriselle, you are beautiful and i was apsolutly amazed with second dress, i wish you all best for your big day, i hope you will have best time of your life! awww, im living for that day

Angela ( May 18, 2012 at 11:56 AM )

I ADORE dress #2!!! Its just perfect!

sarah-jane ( May 18, 2012 at 11:52 AM )

NO WAY. DEFINITELY VOTING FOR THE 4TH LOOK. The first one shows a bit too much, and the stomach area is kind of bizarre/empty. The second one is elegant, but it’s too wrapped up! You have beautiful shoulders, so show them off at your wedding!! DEFINITELY THE LAST STUNNING PIECE!!

jennifer ( May 18, 2012 at 11:46 AM )

Hey! I like your style, and think you are so amazing beautiful! :-)
I like the first and the second! I think they are the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen! :-)

Love loove, I wish you the most amazing and romantic wedding!

Marta Schioldann ( May 18, 2012 at 11:28 AM )

YOUR MAID OF HONOR/BRIDESMAIDS SHOULD WEAR THE SOFT AND ROMANTIC LOOK AND YOUR MOM SHOULD WEAR THE FOURTH LOOK (GLAM AND BIT OF DRAMA) :D CONGRATULATIONS!

AMINA ( May 18, 2012 at 11:19 AM )

I prefer the Soft & Romantic, I love the details that is on your dress and it looks more sweet on you and classy ;D xxx

Katerina ( May 18, 2012 at 11:18 AM )

CLASSIC AND VINTAGE, ITS THE MOST CLASSY, ELEGANT AND REGAL LOOKING AND THATS HOW A WOMAN SHOULD LOOK ON HER WEDDING DAY.

AMINA ( May 18, 2012 at 11:15 AM )

100% Classic & Vintage, it’s amazing you look like a princes wearing this dress

Bodor ( May 18, 2012 at 10:45 AM )

CLASSIC AND VINTAGE for sure!! ;)

saagi ( May 18, 2012 at 10:43 AM )

Loving the Classic Vintage one sooooo much, and it looks perrfect on you, even though the rest really looked amazing too. But I’d go with the Classic Vintage.

Ada Lee ( May 18, 2012 at 10:43 AM )

Kamorandez ( May 18, 2012 at 10:32 AM )

The vintage one is amazing on you!!!!
You have to pick that dress!!!

Keity ( May 18, 2012 at 10:31 AM )

i love the first and the second one…but the choice is yours ;)

Katja ( May 18, 2012 at 10:31 AM )

I really like the classic and vintage style of dress. It was the most striking gown! Beautiful!

Christina ( May 18, 2012 at 10:24 AM )

Lovely Chriselle, I think that #1 look is the perfect fit for you. I see you as soft and romantic girl and it looks so beautiful on you. #2 seems like a dress for a nun ;) You got to show a lil something something :) ) Whichever dress you choose, I am sure you will look stunning! I wish you best of luck :* :* :*

Nina ( May 18, 2012 at 10:03 AM )

Classic & Vintage is the best and the most perfect ! *____*

youyoub ( May 18, 2012 at 9:59 AM )

classic vintage!!! you look so awesome :)

EeWen ( May 18, 2012 at 9:43 AM )

You look great in all of them, but I vote for vintage. It’s the most beautiful, lace is for me the must on the wedding dress. It’s not too strait, but still minimalist as it fits you the best. First one makes you look too flat, and the last one is not weddingly enough – I think it’s better to be as white as possible (maybe champagne would pass) although people get married today in various colours.

Morana ( May 18, 2012 at 9:41 AM )

omg it’s soooooooooo hard to pick between the first and second look, but like most people here, i’m going to have to agree that the second look is my favourite. it’s so youuuu, elegant and sophisticated.
congratulationssss :D

KD ( May 18, 2012 at 8:36 AM )

the second or the one that was featured in your first sneak peak of the Genlux bridal photoshoot? no matter what u decide, u’r gonna look gorgeous !!!

Andreea ( May 18, 2012 at 8:35 AM )

hi chriselle, i think the second gown suits you best

Maybelline ( May 18, 2012 at 8:29 AM )

The vintage look please. soft and romantic dress is nice too but it will look much better on someone who has bigger boobs. haha! Anyway, the vintage dress looks fab on you! Please choose the vintage one.

Akatsuki ( May 18, 2012 at 8:29 AM )

Definitely the Classic & Vintage! You look stunning! It reminds me of Kate Middleton’s dress a tiny bit with the lace as well :) Like a princess :) hehe <3

Katie Campbell ( May 18, 2012 at 8:26 AM )

I find that dress 2 fits you really beautifully! GO FOR DRESS 2! ^^

Vanessa Neo ( May 18, 2012 at 8:23 AM )

DEFINETLEY the classic and vintage one! The 1st one (soft and romantic) doesn’t really suit your body in my opinion. The 4th one I couldn’t really see in the picture lol! But the 1st one is AMAZING on you… Just like everyone else said. Good luck findin The One! (:

Hannah ( May 18, 2012 at 8:09 AM )

the classic & vintage for sure !!!
you are so beautiful in that lace dress <3

Jojo ( May 18, 2012 at 7:38 AM )

totadina ( May 18, 2012 at 5:54 AM )

I think the 2nd look.. Classic & vintage but i also like the last dress. Haha. I’m excited for your wedding!!! Please post it here. :D

Mitch ( May 18, 2012 at 5:43 AM )

Obviously the 2. one!:)

Adrienn ( May 18, 2012 at 5:43 AM )

I like the soft and romantic one !!

Sophia Charfi ( May 18, 2012 at 5:38 AM )

I have to say that the classic & Vintage fits you best:) The romantic one is also a pretty dress ,but I feel as if there is something missing. CLASSIC AND VINTAGE!!:)

Vy ( May 18, 2012 at 5:35 AM )

I really like the last look.

Lil ( May 18, 2012 at 5:09 AM )

i think the 2nd one-classic and vintage-it is beautiful!!!!!xxx

Abby ( May 18, 2012 at 5:03 AM )

I really like 2.Classic and Vintage look on you. :)

MJ ( May 18, 2012 at 4:52 AM )

I think the first one is stunning.The second one is too much vintage I think. The first one is very elegant and looks very well on you.

jojo ( May 18, 2012 at 4:47 AM )

I think the first and second dresses are both stunning on you, but the second one (Classic and vintage!) is just… absolutely perfect. It hugs you, it’s modest but oh so very sweet. Incredibly flattering cut!

Lydia ( May 18, 2012 at 4:17 AM )

all the dresses are very nice!but i think the second one Classic & Vintage matchses you more than the others!the choice is your btw.and i’m sure it will be the best!
Good Luck!
~V

Veronica ( May 18, 2012 at 4:06 AM )

The lace one suits you the best. From my experience, no matter which one you choose, you will find THE dress after the wedding :( True story….

Ina ( May 18, 2012 at 3:47 AM )

I totally like the 2nd classic and vintage!

Xiaoyi ( May 18, 2012 at 3:47 AM )

The Classic and Vintage for sure
you look very lovely and beautiful in it

Shara ( May 18, 2012 at 3:32 AM )

the 2nd one!! Classic and Vintage :)

Claudia ( May 18, 2012 at 3:24 AM )

2.Classic & Vintage

Cecilia Li ( May 18, 2012 at 3:10 AM )

I think you should find a gown that doesn’t not emphasize what you don’t have, i.e a full shapely bust. So No.2 is the one for you.

espenine ( May 18, 2012 at 3:08 AM )

I like #1 cause even if you named it soft and romantic, i think it has sophistication and a like drama with the low cut cleavage, but if your family is conservative #2 is best.

halina ( May 18, 2012 at 3:01 AM )

Love the classic vintage! Those type of dress are the one I would love to wear when I have my wedding :)

Vanessa Adeline ( May 18, 2012 at 2:52 AM )

Definitely the second look.
The dress is so beautiful, it’s gonna fit you perfectly!

Linh Dang ( May 18, 2012 at 2:48 AM )

I think that dress 2 is very, very beautiful! But number 1 is also beautiful.
If it was me I will pick number 2!
I think you and the dress is very beautiful, so it will be perfectly!

Alma Bach ( May 18, 2012 at 2:30 AM )

2.Classic & Vintage
IT IS PERFECT! You look amazing in it!

Lorena ( May 18, 2012 at 2:17 AM )

the classic and the vintage is soo perfect for you especially the V cut on the back it suits you perfectly i pick 2 for you but the only right choice is yours and i’m sure that you have a good taste :) )

sdouda ( May 18, 2012 at 2:08 AM )

The vintage one is just amazing *_*
