The weird blur-vignette thing is awful, to my eye, but it's a wedding thing, I think, isn't it?
On the up side you've done a lovely job of getting detail into her dress without making it grey, and the second photograph is really quite excellent. I would have handled it slightly differently, but it's your photograph.

Are you converting these to B&W in post or are you relying on your camera's monochrome preset?
amolitor said:If you do an extremely radical dark vignette, to push everything else down to dark dark greys and blacks, and leave her as if spotlit in a quite dark room, does sort of work. I don't REALLY think it's salvageable, but if you think someone might really love it, it might be worth a try.
A spot of selective color (ugh) might help here, to conceptually separate her from the room, and make it look more like a little girl's dream. Make it subtle, for god's sake, if you must!
