Bride's Colourful Dress Must Bring Out Her Skin Tone | Say Yes To The Dress: India 

This consultant guy is so sweet! Im glad he’s there to stand behind and support the bride. Im glad the family came around too after she stuck up for herself!

I’m so glad she’s stuck with her instincts. That third dress literally washed her out. You couldn’t really see her in that red dress all you saw was the dress and not her. That pink dress looked amazing on her and really brought out her undertones, she shined very brightly in it.

It’s heartbreaking that people still have such views on skin tone, she is absolutely gorgeous. I am also glad she stuck to what She Loves, it is unique and beautiful and she looked stunning in it.

6:20 What Divyak said was so true about mama's boys. When she wore the pink, it just brought out the joy in her. She had a big smile on her face.

You can tell that she feels absolutely beautiful in that Pink.

Honestly, I don’t know why she is worried about her skin tone because it’s wonderfully beautiful and every single color looks perfect on her!!! So glad she decided by herself the dress she liked!

She really did brighten up in the pink! It's not about light skin or dark. Its just the right color for your tone. My face looks slightly chartreuse in fuchsia like that, but a dark red makes me look healthy. For her, the fuchsia brought out her natural glow. Gorgeous

I'm in Indian-ethnicity woman born and raised in America, and I can tell you, I always valued having darker skin; my friends were always jealous of my "natural tan" and living in Arizona, I never shied away from the sun and embraced the seasonal changes where my skin would get much darker in the summer and lighter in the winter. I never got hateful comments from other Americans (or Mexicans, or Jamaicans, or any other ethnicity I grew up with in the States) until I went to India and would hear all of these open comments from middle aged to older women about how it was a "shame" I wasn't as light skinned as my mom. The origin for lighter skin being desirable is because back in the day, those who were worked in fields as laborers were darker skinned due to hours spent in the sun, whilst the upper class worked "higher" jobs in offices out of sunlight. Therefore, if you're darker skinned the impression is that you're lower class, which is obviously bullshit. My cousin was extremely fair skinned, and I remember everyone talking about her since she was 8 years old like she was a prized pig being raised for slaughter - "she's so fair, she will get a good husband and dowry". What a disgusting thing to say about anyone, let alone a child. She was so controlled by her aunt who was determined to basically auction her off to the highest bidder, that she eventually ran away and eloped with the love of her life, a simple but honest working man who loves her and has much darker skin. For years, she only talked to me and my dad, the two who supported her. I always will be proud of her for choosing her own destiny and heart, and breaking free of her controlled life. Unfortunately, this racism still is prevalent today in India and I am so grateful I grew up in America. We have our problems obviously, but India doesn't get called out on this overt racism as much as it should because people are afraid of criticizing "culture". I suppose it's human nature to always think "the grass is greener on the other side" with Western cultures wanting to be tan and Eastern cultures wanting to be fairer. However, racism under the guise of "culture" is still racism, and needs to be called out by fellow Indians and non-Indians alike.

I love how the stylist is determined about understanding the bride’s feelings. He’s the best.

I hate the fiancé for saying that the colour should be little dark because his mom prefers it. It was heartbreaking to hear specially after looking at how happy the bride was... 🥺 PS : 1) the review of her family members was mostly about colour shade and skintone. Its weird for me to see the bride listening to such comments coming straight from the people who should be encouraging and welcoming to her decisions. 2) at last only the bride was happy and the family just accepted her decision i guess support and enthus was lacking a lot.

I'm so sorry that people said terrible things to Ekta about her skin tone. She's BEAUTIFUL! She could wear a potato sack and still be gorgeous.

The third dress completely washed her out. The pink one literally made her GLOW. I'm so glad she chose that one and that the husband was supportive of her decision.

She looked amazing in all, I liked the first one more, glad she didn't go for red. She said she didn't want red. Her fiance must have known that, his mum is irrelevant here 🙄

It's not about her skin tone but the undertone. She's cool toned and so pink looks way better than warm red on her. ❤️

I'm really impressed with how the consultant keeps the bride's preferences and feelings topmost in his mind. He gave her the encouragement to make the choice that was best for her, regardless of what her fiance's opinion was. I am really glad that he supported her choice. I also agree with the consultant, that a man should put his wife's preferences/opinions/feelings above anyone else's, and refrain from referring to his mother's preferences.

She would look amazing in any colour , makes me sad she feels insecure in some colours because of insensitive comments from family or friends.She is stunningly beautiful and her choice was perfect because it was HER choice .

Divyak is a top notch stylist. The way he stands up for the bride and creates space for her to express her own self love in her skin got me emotional (as another daker skinned bride).

So glad the show shined a light on what brown-skinned Indian women have to endure. It’s rooted in classism, colonialism, & racism. The more it’s called out, the less prevalent it will be. Beauty comes in every shade! Ekta is beautiful already and that fuchsia dress enhanced it👏🏾

this consultant guy is just the DREAM he’s absolutely killing it for his bride keeping her happy and supporting her

Look at her face when she was in the second choice…..she simply glowed! She was stunning in all of them but the fuchsia was the best for her.

I’m italian, but i’m falling love with Indian culture and wedding dress. They’re my favourite🥰🥰🥰

She honestly did look better and happier in the fuchsia. She was glowing and it made her cheeks rosy. Glad she choose the one she really loved, true happiness!

I couldn't understand what the fiancé said but I get bad vibes. She is so stunning and that pink looks amazing on her! Also, her lipstick is the exact same colour, so how does she think it doesn't suit her skin tone? Colourism has given her a complex.

She’s radiating in the pink lengha. I love her smile and sweet spirit.

3:31 "My mom always wanted/had the thought that there should be some element of red colour in the bride's dress,so if we could make it a little darker then i think we could get closer to my mom's thought(of having red colour in the dress). 5:34 "This one option of lehenga(dress) had a very different shade of red. So I thought yeah why not?". 6:22 Don't tell your fiance,'My mom like this or that.' 7:07 If you feel like,'when I close my eyes I can imagine myself at the mandap(place of marriage).' 7:55 "At the end of the day,I don't want to push her to wear something that not comfortable for her." 8:35 "The transition of a friend becoming girlfriend and then becoming wife hits me and makes me emotional."

Lol when the fiancé starts talking about his mommy. I just can’t!!

My word, the craftsmanship that goes into these Indian bridal garments never fails to drop my jaw. They are so stunning. She looked gorgeous in both colors, to my eye, but I am glad she chose the fuschia for herself.

She looks absolutely radiant in that pink lengha.

It is heartbreaking that because of comments others have made to her in the past, that she is self-conscious of her skintone! She beautiful inside and out. I am glad that she ended up choosing the dress that flattered her the most and that loved the most instead of listening to others opinions. 💗

Her skin tone is just gorgeous! The pink is very flattering.

She is so beautiful. It’s heartbreaking to see that colorism still has such a stronghold. She and her fiancé truly believe that her skin tone is inferior.😢

The details in her dress is beautiful. So happy she chose what made her happy.

Glad she chose what she really liked. She looks beautiful in both red and pink but she was glowing with happiness when she wore pink .

Honestly, Red wasn't different. Pink is different. I liked what consultant said, don't tell your fiance , my mom is saying this. Good she didn't fell for the pressure and chose what she liked.

She was stunning in the PINK and the consultant brings out the best in every bride.

The fit and detailing on that light fuchsia pink dress was absolutely stunning. It brought out a glow on the bride that the darker one dulled. So glad she stood her ground and choose the one she loved.

I love the consultant guy...and the way he rolled his eyes when Paras mentioned his mom's concerns. Man, its 2022!!!!

So glad she picked the fuschia/pink, as it looked so much more delicate and light on her (the effect of the look not necessarily physical weight). Her personality as well as her looks suited the lighter shade as opposed to the heavy red.

You could just tell that the pink one was her choice it was written all over her! I am glad she got what made her feel that special feeling people are suppose to have picking their wedding outfits out.

Indian wedding dresses/ styles are so amazing. Yall know how to dress and don't shy away from color

And yes she looks so much better and happier in the pink and confident in it idk why he messed with her head

The cost, skill, & time to create such works of art is mind-boggling. Big shout out to these talented, hard workers.

That pink was stunning!!!!

Her skin tone is gorgeous.

I'm so glad she went with her heart and got the pink one, she looked absolutely stunning and that color does suit her so well

I am so glad she stuck with her instincts and did not go for the third dress just for the sake of her fiance. She is actually looking gorgeous in the pink lehnga.

I love this host!!😊 He really is a remarkable man who is helping these brides with better mindsets for the decisions they take🌟

Shes gorgeous!! I am so thrilled she stuck to her guns and took the pink =D brought me to tears when I saw her again I wish them both much health, happiness, love, luck, joy and may they always have enough!

I think she would look beautiful in an emerald green dress.

That is so sad that she was told her skin is too dark. Her skin is beautiful and skin colors of every shade are beautiful

Oh she looked so beautiful in the fuchsia lengha! So, so beautiful. I'm glad she chose the one that made her happy! 😊❤❤

Ekta is such a co-operative, well spoken and beautiful girl 🥺😭 The entourage tho except her friend made my heart a bit nervous for her 😵

It doesn't matter what you want or what your mummy want,what matter is what your bride like and what makes her happy .I am happy that she chose what made her happy and make her feel like a real happy bride . She is absolutely stunning and gorgeous 💖 and lastly ,everyone agreed with her choice ,that was a bonus .

I so wish that any culture could wear these dresses. I'm from the US and we are pretty much stuck with some version of white. We are barely dipping our toe into color with pastels, like blush pink. These are so BEAUTIFUL! All the colors and embellishments are gorgeous!😍

She's gorgeous and I loved her in both the dresses. I'm so happy she chose the dress that made her happiest 💗.

The groom said that his mother always said an element of red is important as women traditionally in most parts of India wear red dress. He said he imagined her in red and was surprised when he say her in lightest shade of pink, so maybe a darker shade of pink may look better. He didn't comment on her skin tone but the bride to be said that she had a complex related to her skin while trying the outfit and the fact he said that is brining that insecurity up.

I'm a brown girl and I love my skin color. I don't tolerate any kind of discrimination towards my skin color. It's one of the things I cherish the most about myself. Be comfortable in your own skin! 💜

The pink one is so stunning on her. I hope she reads these comments and realizes how beautiful she really is, just exactly as she is!! 💜

She looks beautiful in that pink dress.The embroidery is magnificent. Her smile said it all

She’s so gorgeous! Dark skin? Her skin is gorgeous! The pink and gold is so pretty! The salmon color is okay but not as pretty as the fuchsia.

She's got what you call olive skin and it's beautiful my daughter has olive skin and the dark colors like reds like blues will bring out your skin color

The fuchsia pink looked absolutely beautiful on her. She is beautiful and her skin tone (like all skin tones) looked beautiful.

I love the words of Mr. D'SOUZA saying don't bring your mummies between a relationship

She is breath taking in that pink! Im so happy she went with her gut and listened to what she wants.

She is so very beautiful she could wear a hession sack and be gorgeous but this pink Lenga was so very flattering and you could tell she felt beautiful 😻

Honestly it’s about time we have captions especially with the language barriers that other versions have

When the groom said his mother would prefer a red dress...ugh...ugh....this is not a dress for your mom to wear. Why does a man think of his mother's choices when it comes to something his wife wants to do. The consultant was so rightly annoyed by the man's statement. At least he came around in the end. The bride loved the pink one and glad she went with it. However, if she was concerned about her dusky color, which is beautiful, I would let her try a silver dress- the same color as the necklace she is wearing with the pink dress- you can see how the colour of that necklace is bringing out her skin tone.

Her smile in the pink lehenga just spoke volumes! 💗

She is right, pink was best and the work was awesome on it too

To people who didn't get the husband to be thoughts was that, he wanted if there would be touch of red because her mother likes red on the bride but he never forced the bride instead when she said that she likes the pink one better , he gladly accepted and said at the end of the day she's gonna wear the wedding dress and she should be comfortable with it... ☺️

I have brown skin and I knew she looks the best in the pink. Rose like colors and earth tones look god in brown skin… I’m glad she went with what she felt beautiful in! 💕💁🏾‍♀️

absolutely love the consultant! he's so encouraging and just has a great attitude

Designer is such a great human being who understands bride feeling so well.

Her skintone is literally gold! So stunning!!

OMG!! I love the beautiful fushia/pink dress!! The bride's skin tone is absolutely gorgeous!! Beautiful lady! 😍

I am an Indian born and raised in India and i have exactly the same skin tone as her and i feel so sorry that she has so much insecurities surrounding her skin colour that it is a major factor for her while deciding her wedding dress because of how her lighter skinned grandma treated her. Colourism is more prominent amongst the older generations. I had some insecurities too growing up even though my grandma, mom and dad always said my skin is beautiful but I would still hear these subtle, irate comments from some random aunties. But then as i stepped into adulthood, I learnt to stop caring about what old fashioned aunties without a fashion sense said. I actually started loving my skin and i wouldn't have it any other way. All that matters is that you have healthy skin, tan and sun kissed skin is actually coveted around the world and even in India amongst the younger generation. I personally hate pink and wouldn't touch it but the pink one looked absolutely gorgeous on her. And her fiancé was so irritating, he didn't care about easing away her insecurities and telling her the truth that the pink looks absolutely gorgeous on her but rather he only cared about what his mother wanted. But I am glad he didn't push her.

avid fan from the Philippines here. I got teary eyed, this was the most beautiful pink wedding dress I have ever seen in my life! I think i would like to see my daughter getting married in a beautiful pink wedding gown like this and everyone else will wear white. What color does the groom wear to complement this brides pink dress?

that pink dress looks so stunning. It really makes her skin (which is lovely already) glow!

I really wish that there were subtitles for what he said at 6:20.

I am loving these videos from this country. The bride looked wonderful, and I just love the whole show.

She is beautiful! I'm glad she chose pink! She looked young and radiant in it!

I actually think she looked gorgeous in the first and the second! that skin tone gosh it's perfect I hope one day she can see that too

I am so happy we're getting to see Indian lenghas cause they are some of the most beautiful dresses!!

Suggestion- Why not speak in Hindi and add English subtitles?

What a gorgeous lady! The pink suited her best 1000%. Glad she went with her gut.

Então estão me dizendo que tinha todo um programa sobre vestidos de noivais indianos E EU NÃO SABIA?! Melhor descoberta de 2023 até agora!!! Amo muito os estilos de casamento indianos são tão vibrantes e belos!!!

my favorites were the pink and white, she was right though the white was not suited to the wedding but she should really consider wearing white more cause it makes her skin pop. She is so beautiful literally why I watched the video

Fabulous consultant....beautiful bride.

Love you ❤️ Designer Divyank D Souza. You really got the common sense point - when men starts referencing their mother "ITS A SLIPPERY SLOPE". Well said and supported the bride in choosing the dress which suits her skin tone and makes her feel happy from inside.

She looks so beautiful in the pink. The more silver embroidery is just lovely.

Your skin is beautiful, warm, and glowing and you looked beautiful in every color you wore! Stunning bride!

I love the Indian clothes, the designs, all the embroidery and beading and the colours are just magical. So very special.

The bride is stunning, I hope she doesn’t let her skin tone affects how she feel. Absolutely gorgeous.

Damn her skin glow is everything , who cares about the color .

What is wrong with her father! She is stunning! Skin colour is beautiful!! A lesson to all horrible parents. You can affect your child to the point they loose complete confidence. Her father should be grateful to not just have a healthy child but a beautiful one too !

She looked pretty in red lehenga. She looks happier in pink. So glad that she chose her "happy lehenga".

I would LOVE to have her skin tone. It’s absolutely stunning. She is a proper ‘femme fatale’, and would be even more beautiful if she believed and owned it 💗

Skin colour and obsession is still a topic in Africa with sales of skin lightening products through the roof. Sad. I have been told I would be prettier if I was lighter skinned. Sigh. Love this desi version of SYTTD...

Those dresses. They are sooo beautiful. The bride looks lovely in pink ❤

I used to work with someone from India. I would tell him he better invite me to his wedding if he got married. The beautiful clothes they wear!!
