Gentle and serene, Melise walks in quiet confidence. It’s a quality I so admire. She doesn’t strive or chase or clamor. She just is. And therein lies her beauty. A deep set beauty. It doesn’t move. It’s not diluted with age. It’s rooted and springs eternal.

Her dream dress was a classic blush pink and ivory creation with a sweetheart bodice fashioned from a beautiful beaded lace. Layers of soft tulle made up the high-waist skirt. The end-result was timeless, feminine and romantic. A mirror image and yet, a mere echo of the woman who wore it.
