The beige looks similar to white and that's a huge no-no. I'd go with the green.

I like the style of the second one more, if you are able to choose a different color I'd go with that one.

I like the second but I'd pick the green, like Stephanie said the beige is too close to white.

I really like the style of the beige dress but like the other girls said beige or any color even remotely resembling white shouldn't be worn to a wedding. If you can't get the beige dress in a different color (that's what I would do) then go for the green.

To be honest, neither is appropriate for a wedding. The green dress is too tight, and the beige dress is too close to white. Both dresses have bare shoulders, which is not appropriate attire for a church wedding unless you plan to add a bolero or jacket or have a tailor add sleeves.
If the wedding is not taking place in a church, or the church is a progressive/nontraditional church, strapless might be allowed but err on the conservative side with the neckline.
Hems drastically above the knee are inappropriate in all scenarios. "Bodycon" style dresses are also inappropriate at all times.
Knee-length cocktail dresses are standard attire; any longer risks looking too casual (maxi dresses) or conflicting with the bridal party (long or tea-length gowns).
No black, white, blush, cream, ivory, beige, etc. Generally avoiding all shades of black, white, pastels, and the wedding colors (the colors on the invitations) is safest. (That way you won't conflict with bride no matter what color her dress is, or the bridal party.)
For an example: for my friends' wedding, I wore a purple wrap-style knee-length cocktail dress with elbow-length sleeves (to cover my tattoo since the ceremony was at a Catholic mission), with pantyhose, sparkly low heels, and a simple bracelet.
