Need help, Need your opinions... PLEASE HELP =)

Hi Dearies,
 
Ok the dreaded time has come.... I have to start looking for wedding gowns and making wedding preparations, that is if I want to keep that Aug, 8th date. I have nothing done... I know this is going to stress me the heck out LOL.
Ok first things first, we are on a bugdet! A very tight budget. Our plans were to be married in our Church and then afterward hold a reception in a hall or something like that. That I think is not going to happen(since I wanted new furniture). The plan now is to still be married in our Church( all you give the Church is a small donation). Afterwards I figured that Ben and I can look for a restaurant that serves food buffet style and just rent it for an about 2 hrs. We will just invite our closest family and friends(so do think about you freeloaders LOL)
So today I decided to look at dresses from David's Bridal. This is where you ladies come in. I am torn. I have seen so many pretty dresses. My things is that I am not too fond of the traditional plain white dress. I want some color in it. I don't know if ya'll noticed but I love the color burgundy so I picked some dresses that have a lil burgundy(or at least a color close to burgundy) in it. My plan is not to go crazy buying an expensive dress because reality is I am only going to wear it once(and I doubt my daughter will ever fit my dress LOL)
Let me be real here, I am not a small girl! At least not in weight. I am petite in size very short about5". So I need
something that will flatter my shape and not make me look like the good yr blimp.
I am not good at knowing what will go good with my shape, so I'm hoping that you ladies would know
Also I have what they call " A lot of junk in my trunk" a Big BOOTY LOL, Which I hate! but it is what it is. So that is to be taken into consideration as well. I am not that well endowed in the chest area (it's decent though LOL) My legs are short and stubby LOL...and my arms look like I have been lifting weights only something went wrong because it is not as solid ...(you get me)
So without further ado here are my choices....
I am going to make a poll ... so you can vote for Dress 1, Dress 2 or Dress 3.
Also I would like your opinions about my idea of the buffet style restaurant. DO you think it's classy or ghetto LOL?
Should I spend money on flowers or instead focus more on hiring a photographer?
I am not sure if I should just have my sisters as bridesmaids or if I should include my 2 best friends? Do I have to pay for their dresses or spend money on them in any way?? If I do then it will just be my 2 sisters LOL.
What else??? Is there anything else that I need to do that I am not thinking about. As you can tell I have no clue what I am doing here. I am going to sit down today and make a list of people that I want to invite. How soon should I send the invites??
IYO, how many people should I invite??
HELPPPPPPPPP!
