    i ordered my dress about 5 months ago. during the past 5 months, i've had several panic attacks (such as this time) on whether i've made the right choice.

    my dress finally arrived yesterday. i went to pick it up as soon as i could, tried it on at the shop, it was great! i dont' even need alterations!!

    BUT it wasn't until after i put it on again alone at home, had the time to really look at all the details in the mirror, wearing the shoes i bought for my wedding day, that i realized.... the dress is NOT great... NOT AT ALL!!!! because it's PERFECT!!! i couldn't stop telling myself silently and repeatedly that "gasp, i am beautiful, i'm so beautiful....!!!!!!!!!!!" i have never thought of myself as a beautiful girl, but at that moment, i was so convinced Cool

    finally my happy ending! (dress NO regret!) :  wedding enzoani cambridge IMG 2756

    finally my happy ending! (dress NO regret!) :  wedding enzoani cambridge IMG 2780

    finally my happy ending! (dress NO regret!) :  wedding enzoani cambridge IMG 2748

    i know i would have regretted so much if i had gone with any other dresses that i was considering, because everything about this is just PERFECT!! the silhouette, the randomly scattered flowers on the lace, the length, the train, everything!

    btw, this is the shoes that i'll wear. it's in light rose gold (but somewhat silvery):

    i'm considering wearing either of these earrings (and no necklace):

    finally my happy ending! (dress NO regret!) :  wedding enzoani cambridge Earrings 1

    i am sooooooooo happy that i bought this dress. all my worries are GONE!!

    to add to the surprise, i not only described my dress to my fiancee as a super huge ball gown, but also told him it's got pink bow-ties all over the dress :P he's the type of person who won't tell you any negative comments, but i could see from his face that he was thinking: "WTH???" LOL

    sorry about all the babbling, i'm sure you can tell that i'm VERY happy right now!! :D

    STUN.NING. You look awesome! And your jewelry is fantastic.  I vote for the first set of earrings if no necklace. If you decide later to wear a necklace, then the second pair won't overpower it.

    BEAUTIFUL!

    Great!  It's an awesome feeling to see yourself in that dress and love what you see staring back at you from the mirror.  That confidence will RADIATE on your wedding day.  There is no other feeling like it.  :)  Congrats on finding YOUR perfect dress!!

    Absolutely Bee-u-tiful!! How lucky are you that you don't require alterations either! 

    By the way, I think it's great that you've "teased" your fiance'!  He will be pleasantly surprised!  Wink

    Enjoy your upcoming wedding day!

    @bruintx: i've been exercising too! i have this "blab" of fat right under my belly that i can't get rid off! i am gonna have to look for a shapewear to wear underneath :P

    @WindCityBride: the brand is Nardi. you can find it from Nordstrom :)

    @bride2bejc: i went through the exact same proccess!! and i'm sure we are not the only two here, lol. i'm sure your dress will turn out perfect for you too! :)

    I already have a dress but when I was first looking, I wanted all lace but went with something totally different. But your dress is something I would have went with!

    I LOVE IT!!!

    What was the price point if you don't mind me asking?
