you look BEAUTIFUL!

 

[sba771]

Stunning!!! I am coveting your shoes, I have been for a while, but these pictures sealed it for me. You look so happy!! I can''t wait to see the actual pics!

 

[mel047]

great pics. you look fantastic. can''t wait to see more...

 

[ilovethiswebsite]

very beautiful! but i am confused? is the point to get some professional shots in your dress before the wedding??? i have never heard of bridal shots before the wedding before!

 

[meresal]

Thank you ladies!! I can't wait to see the pro pics!! We got some great ones of the shoes too

sba- Are you going to get these?!? Just a little bit of advice, remove the price tag before taking pictures of the bottom of them. My photog looked at me and his jaw dropped. He laughed and said, "Do you want me to remove the, uhh, price tag?"

Ohh, that and the RED comes off REALLY easily. My photog said that they would touch-up the bottoms. I had only been standing on concrete for about an hour or so. You can see where it rubbed off around the edges.

ILTS- Thank you! Here in Texas, it is very common to have pictures of the bride in her dress at the reception. Think big and framed at the entrance on an easel or table of some sort. I've noticed around here that brides never talk about them, so I'm just realizing that they aren't common all over.

 

[Shoopy]

For starters, you look beautiful and the pictures look great!

And second...you''re getting married 7/25!!

I just looked at the BIW list and realized its so soon. I can''t believe it.

These are beautiful. I love the flower in your hair, are you doing that for your wedding day as well?

 

[Bia]

Mer, you really look beautiful. I can''t wait to see the real mccoys!

Shoes, well, you know how I feel about those

[sunnyd]

Pretty! Can''t wait for the pros!

 

[luvthemstrawberries]

Woohooo!! Can''t wait to see the pro pics too. You look so pretty!! Aahhhhhh I love your dress - sort of reminds me of a Disney princess dress, with more elegance... maybe one like Cinderella would wear.

And the dress is gorgeous!! So glad you''ve got it safe and sound in your hands now!!

 

[meresal]

Thanks Fiery! Can you believe it. It's almost been a while year!! Just a little over 2 month until the wedding, but it is flying by!
Jen, thank you. I'm going to wear the veil for the ceremony at the church, and then the gardenia in my hair for the reception. We just plucked one out of the bouquet at the end of the shoot to see how it would work out, and it held really well!
Thank you Bia and Sunnyd

ILTW- It's on July 25th... so a little under 10 weeks away! Yikes!

 

[mrscushion]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Awwww so pretty!!!

 

[ams0124]

Awww Mer you look beautiful!!!

I can''t wait to see what the pro pics look like...based on these I have no doubt they are going to be STUNNING!!!

 

[meresal]

mscushion, HH, and ams- Thank you so much!
ILTS- Thank you! I''m so glad the dress ended up alright. What an ordeal. Only issue now, is that when I was walking between two of the pews in the sanctuary, I got some dust/dirt on the back of the satin band, and it needs to be cleaned up. However, we will not be taking back to the same salon.

We might even be able to get it out ourselves.

 

[wishful]

OMG I LOVE your dress!!!!!!! AND your SHOES!!! Wow! You look just beautiful.
Congrats on your upcoming special day! It''s not far away now!

 

[OUpearlgirl]

Meresal!! Gorgeous pictures!!! I love your dress.


Also... THAT IS MY CHURCH!! No joke! I've gone there my whole life.

 

[kittybean]

Awww, you look so beautiful, Meresal! I love your dress and shoes, and your hair looks fabulous with the flower. You are going to look so lovely on your wedding day!

 

[Italiahaircolor]

So pretty! I bet you''re really really excited now!

 

[Mediterranean]

Oh, Meresal!!! You look absolutely breathtaking....you''re going to blow EVERYONE away when you walk down the aisle! I think I''m in love with the same shot that''s your Mom''s favorite, you look so elegant in this gown! Actually, I should revise that: this gown looks so elegant on YOU. You truly "make" this dress!!!!

Enjoy every last minute leading up to your wedding, it''s going to be fabulous!!!!

 

[alli_esq]

Ohhhh, you look so beeeeautiful, meresal!!!

Is it crazy that I get excited for your wedding when I see you in your dress and shoes? Be honest now...

Really though--you look stunning!

 

[meresal]

wishful and kittybean- Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Italia- Thank you! I'm very excited, but I think I get carried away and it turns into little spurts of nervousness. I'm not the one that likes being the center of attention. I already told FI that he needs to stay near me as much as possible. But I can't wait for the whole shabang!!
Mediterranean- You are so sweet! And thank you for the pictures to show my MAU. I get really tan in the summer, so I am happy that she was able to still find a way to keep the look very romantic. You're awesome!!
Alli- Absolutely not weird!! Thank you so much!!

OUpeargirl- Are you talking about downtown FW?! If so, then I knew I've seen you before!! We must have been in youth group together. I mean, a few years apart, but the same age group!! I've been there since I was in the nursery!!
