Need some guidance

Hi all! I am a Feb 2026 bride looking for some guidance. (not sure if I used the right flair, let me know if I need to change it!)

I’ve been engaged since June 2024 and since then I’m tried on at least 40 different dresses. I haven’t “falling in love with” or found “the one” yet and it’s starting to feel frustrating. I’m an indecisive person and I knew this process would be difficult for me (hence why I started looking super early.) It’s coming close to the time I need to make decisions and I feel defeated. I’ve tried on some beautiful dresses but none of them feel like the “one” or for me.

All I know is that I want an A line dress. I like the basque or drop waist look. Other than that I have no idea what I’m looking for. I have a simple style so anything too extravagant or super embellished isn’t for me. I don’t want it to be too simple either. Also, I’m small (under 5’) so I don’t want to get drowned in a dress. My budget is 2k USD but I’m trying to go lower than that if possible.

I’m attaching photos of dresses I’ve liked the most:

1 - my favorite by far, but is above my budget sadly. also i don’t know if it’s “bridal” enough?

2- i love the style / silhouette, too lacey though. If I can find something like it but with a more solid fabric that would be a good option

3 - i love the dress but not sure how i feel about the pearls, without the pearls it would be too simple though

4 - pretty dress but i don’t think it’s for me. Maybe it’s the large floral lace?

Any recommendations or advice on how to continue my search? I think I need some encouragement because this process is draining!
