which one should I pick?

I like the second one! It's very pretty  and would chose that one without looking at price!

I would have choose number 1 first without knowing the price. Have you checked ebay and amazon?  You might be able to find the same thing for a better price.  I bought a brand new package...originally sold for $250.00.  I got it for 49.99 all in original packaging and everything!!  

I like the first one, but I also bought mine brand new on ebay. It was a 13-piece set for $50 w/ free shipping. They have some nice ones of there, too! But the two you picked are both cute :)

The second one reminds me of my little girls room at first, i also put butterflies all around her wall :) I would also check CSNbaby.com they have GREAT prices! I got a four piece crib set, a lamp, wallpaper border, and a wall hanging for $130!!!  (all Hello Kitty!) Goodluck!

shopping for the bedding gave me a headache time again and again...

i like the first one:)

and if you feel like your settling..dont get either..ebay has tons!:)

I really like them both, but could not justify spending that much on bedding.  Go with the second one.  Even if you get gift cards/cash, save them! Babies go through stuff SO fast!

I am an infant daycare provider, and while ALL of those types of bedding sets make me oooohh and aaaah and want nothing more thant to drop the big bucks on them.........I haven't for my son (Due in Feb)

At work (and this isn't just mine, it's all over like this) anything other than a tightly fitted crib sheet and a thin (not quilted) securely tucked in blanket is all you're allowed to put down in the cribs. Everything else is considered a SIDS risk.

Bumpers scare me now, especially after watching sooo many of my babies roll right into the side of the cribs, where a bumper would normally be - face first, without even flinching.

I want his room to be cute, don't get me wrong, but I guess I've been ruined in the paranioa department on this one. lol I bought matching sheet sets and fleece blankets, and very thin stitched warm quilts. Everything else I get (if someone decides I need it) will go out on the wall or in the room as decorations.

Then, I invested gift caards in some nice warm sleepers like this one:

The rest of them have sleeves and little hand covers too <3

That's just my two cents though!!! (I have a ton of money left over to buy things like diapers and wipes now too, btw.....)

Price aside, I prefer the first.  Still, for me, neither would be worth it.  I'm going handmade on all those things.  The sentimental value will be much greater, and everything will be one of a kind.  It's all a matter of tastes - go with whatever you love the most. 

i am probably not much help.... since i think they are both very pretty. if you do like the more expensive one better I would try to look it up on amazon.com....... my sil purchased a 10 pc crib bedding set there for a lot less..... and it was new.... check it out.
