    Most of you who look at the dress thread probably came across my ramblings at one time about my dress woes...I struggled for months with dress indecision and worry. I finally ended up with three dresses all of which I took to my wedding venue, and literally that morning decided which two to wear. I wore the trumpet Lazaro for the ceremony, and the Romona Keveza a-line for the reception. And can I finally say...I FREAKIN' LOVE THEM!!! Sooo happy with how they came together in the end.

    I never wore the Vera Wang ballgown because once I took a look at the decor, I thought the color didn't go as well as the others with color scheme. I will always love that dress though...I put it up for sale today if anyone's interested. The others will be up for sale too, once I am emotionally ready to part with them :)

    Don't have the pro pics yet, but I wanted share some guest pics' that I thought show off the dresses well. Thank you to all of you for your nice comments and dress related suggestions along the way. Meliss is now a very happy newlywed :)

    Gorgeous!  Glad that it all worked out at the end :)

    I think you're the one who also got the veil from the same etsy seller (Marisol) as I did, right?  It looks stunning!

    @CCSR - Yes, that's one of Marisol's veils. I'm going to sell the dresses but keep the veil, I love it SO much.
