Strapless Embellished Eugenia Couture Wedding Dress

"I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I bought three wedding dresses before I decided on the one I actually wore," says Kristi. "I bought the first dress because I thought Michael would love it, I bought the second dress because my mom loved it and I fell in love with the third dress because I just knew it was the one!"
