The super inexpensive and equally cute Nordstrom Rack dress went back yesterday. After reading your comments (you guys rock!) and seeing the results of the poll, I went for the Nicole Miller dress with the 70% majority vote.
Inspired by actual events:
I know that my faces were a little sour in the last post, but I promise that had no reflection on my feelings about this dress. It was more about the problems I was having running back to the corner before the timer on my camera went off.
What it all really came down to was that no one said anything about the price difference between the dresses. The $150 difference didn't mean much to you and I'm not going to let it mean much to me either. This dress feels like a wedding dress and I have no doubts that I'm wearing it down the aisle. Seeing that a very low percentage of people voted for me to keep looking (and I see that as more of a matter of taste) validated my decision even more.
With that, I vow to stop buying dresses.
Oh, and it looks like I'm going to drop the whole belting idea. I thought it would accentuate my waist more, but I hear you on the "cutting the body in two" thing. You better believe that I'm coming back to you all for more honest opinions when it comes to deciding on other flatter-factors (accessories, hair, make-up, etc.)!
So, while we're on "the look," what type of veil/ hair piece do you see going with this style of dress?

I normally don't like too much veil action, but I think the dress would look beautiful with a fingertip veil over even longer!
If you want to go modern, I would stick with a simple, no frills, fingertip length veil.
Then maybe bring in some sass with some shazam earrings-- No necklace!
I think a feather plume would be beautiful! I wore one with my wedding dress and I loved it! Your dress has such a gorgeous, vintage-y feel....it would totally compliment it!
maybe a sparkly vintage hair accessory (or tiny flowers) with a loose side-chignon?

I'd skip the veil altogether and go with a pretty hair clip or not-too-big flower.
I'm with Carol and RJ. Brunch wedding and veil don't sound like the perfect match. The dress has great shape with an interesting neckline and great back detail. All you need is a little shine, something that pops a little and a gorgeous, soft hairdo and you'll nail it.
