    @Meagan Lindsay: You look GORGEOUS!

    I think hair up but loose would be good with some drop sparkly earrings and a sparkly bracelet.

    Thanks ladies :) Also loved the veil I am wearing but when I saw the $450 price tag I nearly fell to the floor! Anyone know where to get a nice cathedral veil that doesn't cost a lot?

    You look gorgeous.  I would only lose any additional weight if the dress feels 2 tight. 

    For jewelry, I would wear a nice necklace and earrings.  Maybe a bracelet. 

    A nice loose updo would look great.  Taylor Swift loose updo is an example.

    Don't worry, you look great.

    WHAT GIRL YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!!

    Hair I think a low updo would be pretty, it would show off your shoulder and the neckline nicely. And some drop sparkling earings would be nice and either a sparkly bracelet or a simple necklace.

    For the veil - try the classifieds here or on sites like oncewed. 

    Good luck!

    Fat??? Where, when??? You look gorgeous and healthy!! another 15lbs - not sure where you want to loose that.

    i'm normally a big fun of hair down. but i think you should wear it up and keep a nice clean neckline. i would say no necklace with some drop earrings. simple and elegant :-)

    @Meagan Lindsay: about your veil....Did you happen to write down the name or "style number" of the veil. I loved the one they put on me in the store but almost died with the $325 price tag. i happened to right down the style number of the veil and the googled away. I found it online about $130!!! Again, still a lot of money I haven't made up my mind completly but still a lot better of a deal.

    You look great!  There's a lot going on with your dress, so I would probably just wear some drop earrings and a bracelet.

    I agree about the you not needing to lose weight. You have a great body! However, I know how you feel because I am in the same situation, except, of course, that I actually do need to lose weight to look good in my dress.

    A light, sparkly necklace would be lovely. I think hair up but with some framing your face like in this pic!

    @Keltaena- I am sure you are stunning :) Yeah it was hard but I was about 15 pounds heavier when I ordered by dress back in January and I think I still see myself that way when I look in the mirror, especially since I am not very tall and this dress does have alot going on :) I would love to see your dress if you have a picture!

    I think you should wear your hair down for sure! Your hair looks to be wavy and gorgeous.So that's my vote!

    Also, you do NOT look fat.

    You look beautiful! I would wear your hair up with some long bling earrings. That dress is amazing, who is the designer?

    @Meagan Lindsay: 

    Wow! I love your wedding dress. You look beautiful! Who is the designer of your wedding gown? 

    Try eBay or etsy for the veil. You may get a great deal from your local craigslist.

    @Meagan Lindsay: Post 33, http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/post-your-wedding-dress

    ETA: It's tough if you've been overweight and you lose a lot. It's like you're perpetually confused as to whether you're okay or if you need to keep trying to lose weight. . . And you always think you do!

    @Keltaena- You are a teeny little thing! Your dress looks lovely on you!

    Mine is Monique Lhuillier "Shelby" I got a pretty good deal on it too since I refused to pay what they were asking and called 8 different stores to find the lowest price, then they finally gave in :)

    You look INCREDIBLE girl!  Congratulations on the weight loss.  The final 10-15 pounds is the worst of it, but honestly? you don't need it!  Beautiful dress, beautiful girl! :)

    @Meagan Lindsay: I should have gone with something with ruching, my dress looks all stupid and bunched up and shows every flaw. . . I feel like everyone else on here looks so amazing compared with me--including you! You will be such a lovely bride :)

     

    Also, way to go getting a good price! You should be very proud of yourself.

    You look great! And I think you don't really need to lose more weight.
