My youngest daughter wore a red wedding dress. She got married at Christmas time so it seemed appropriate. My oldest daughter got married in pink. Neither wanted white. It was their wedding so they get to choose. I thought they looked lovely.
@@RogueVideoRaven Try Indian wedding gowns if you want something really unique. They can be absolutely beautiful especially in red. A lot of designers do a mix of Indian and Western style these days.
@@RogueVideoRaven It was a bridemaid’s dress. She was pregnant when she got married & the bridal consultant kept bringing out dresses that made her look like a sailing ship. They were huge. I went over to the bridemaid’s dressing & picked out a softer, more draped one & asked her to try it on. It just happened to be red. My daughter liked it so much that she ordered that one. We are very middle income so nothing we bought was a designer dress.
It’s honestly very strange that Queen Victoria’s white wedding gown, which most of the world didn’t get to see until much later, has become such a staple in Western Culture that people feel this disgusted by the thought of a bride wearing a colorful gown. 1840 wasn’t even that long ago…
yeah and there are very many parts of the world where such white dresses were never any part of wedding ceremonies. personally I love seeing Indian weddings, all those rich colors are so beautiful!
I'm from Spain, and non-rich women didn't wear a special white dress until mid 20th Century. They usually wore their sunday best, or a new dress or suit that could later be used as sunday best (usually in black, because it was the color that was preferred for going to church, plus the color for mourning, so it would be more useful).
Before then blue was actually a common color. The reason for the rapid change is white showed off wealth as it was costly to keep clean. During the Victorian era the middle class really became a thing. The middle class actively tried to emulate the upper class in order to separate themselves from lower class people. None of that seems quite so absurd when we think about how royalty have been the trendsetters or society until recently it makes more sense. Often times when something becomes ingrained in culture, people attach morality to its existence. When often those garments creation was either the result of classical or practicality.
Im of the opinion that the bridal party should stfu about the brides' dress, especially if all they're gonna do is hate on the one thing she really wants/likes about it. They can have their hot takes and disagreements on the bridesmaids dresses, but unless they're actually gonna be helpful with the brides' dress selection (ie point how one fits or compliments better than another etc) then they need to shut up.
exactly! of course useful feedback like "the cut of dress A suited your figure better, I think" or even "this dress seems like impractical to sit down" is completely fine, but at the end it'll always be "personally I might have liked the other dress better, but it's your day and your decision so chose which ever dress makes you most happy!".
Technically true, but I can totally see what she means 😅 Her arms are free and her skirt might not be light, but it‘s „airy“ if that makes sense? It‘s not as tight as the other one and that gives it a sense of lightness in my opinion. And the appliqué did match her theme, I think…
When I started my florist business ages ago, the very first wedding was a pink wedding dress for the bride. The bride from the age of 3 claimed that she was going to wear a pink dress and it was not going to be for babies either. The bubble gum gown was special ordered and when the bride came down the aisle, for those who knew her, there wasn't a dry eye.
@@carlalussini Not necessarily. I've been involved with hundreds of weddings and you would be scratching your head over what can get someone's butt on their shoulder. There are weddings that while during the meetings, I couldn't tell exactly which one was going down the aisle.
I just can’t imagine being surrounded by such negative people in this situation. These are *allegedly* people who love and care about you. Why would you be so mean and unjustly opinionated with someone you love? Regardless, I’m glad these girls were able to stand by their convictions and make their visions a reality.
I know they ham it up for the tv but it’s so terribly sad when the wedding group is so unsupportive and hurtful. I got married in a red ball gown and my sister who is a rock chick got married in a beautiful black gown. Our mum wasn’t sure at first but luckily just wanted us to be happy and feel like a Queen for the day ❤ (and this is going back a significant number of years 😂)
I also love a little color! As someone who is deathly pale, I went with an off-white/pink wedding dress after trying on a lot of white. Super pure white made me look like a ghost.
I got married in a short blue jewel toned dress. It suited me and my small wedding. My mother and I went to a department store in a rich town. I got the dress on clearance for 65. I was even able to wear it again.
My daughter in law was so nervous to pick out her dress. She wanted black, specifically to match a veil she had made. I told her it was important for her to get the dress that she loved, and Ben if others didn’t care for it. She tried on many different dresses, some were black, some were white, because they could be ordered in black but they didn’t have them in stock. And then…. She saw a dress that someone was hanging up that she has to try on. It was double her budget, but she fell in love, I offered to pay the difference because it made her so happy. Ironically she then bought a different veil. Her whole plan changed, BUT it was her choice.
My late mother got married in a purple dress in front of a justice for the peace. To honor her, I will be wearing a dress I naturally dye purple for my wedding. Color can be beautiful!
I really don’t get having unsupportive people at your fitting. If it were me, I don’t care if your the MOH, mom of groom, my mom, you’re not invited or are kicked out when you make me feel bad for liking what I like.
Honestly I think that first group of women were just plain rude. Goodness it's not their wedding it's the brides, so seriously I'm glad she ignored them and did her own thing. Kudos to both ladies for standing their ground, it's their special day not anyone else's.
I’m reality, if you get a pure white dress it will look blue in digital photos, that’s why most are a shade of ivory now, it photographs as white. My dress was a light blush color and in most photos it looks white.
I got married in ‘93 and a local designer in Venice CA made a custom baby pink wedding dress for me. I was 35 years old. It was my first wedding and I was going to order and buy a dress I would love. I am so happy she’s getting a pink dress.
As someone who got married in a dusty mauve pink wedding dress, I'm all for breaking the norms and wearing whatever color makes you feel comfortable & happy! I tried on multiple white wedding gowns before ultimately decided it didn't feel quite "me." Don't be afraid to wear color on your wedding day 💗
I wore red for my wedding. Anything resembling white was never going to be an option. My oldest sister in law wore grey for hers and she looked absolutely stunning.
as someone who's had wedding fever lately (I blame watching too much say yes to the dress on youtube) and is also queer and in a relationship I consider queerplatonic, I've come to realize how much of pushing wedding traditions is just like...pushing traditions that don't really mean anything anymore (wearing white isn't even a tradition based on anything, it's just a fashion trend started by the biggest celeb in the victorian era aka queen victoria) so like, wear what you want, do what you want, and give your relatives something to gossip about since they're gonna do it anyway.
yep exactly, white doesn't have any 'tradition' beyond a famous person having worn it first - and it got so much attention because it was unusual at that time. Imagine Boyoncé or Taylor Swift marrying in a short, deep green gown and then in a couple of years green would become the standard wedding color, would be exactly the same.
It irritates me that anyone in the bridal party would do anything BUT support what the bride wants. Whatever the content, however, I always love a new video from you, darling boy!
I think any color can be bridal, but the veil is what really makes it. Accessories are so important and that’s the most acceptable time you can really wear one in western culture…
I think you're right. The second bride's pink dress looked more like a prom dress until they added the veil. It just rounds the look out as 'bridal' and she can take the veil off after the ceremony - that can be the 50/50 she's really meant 😄
I love these. Luke is so supportive of the brides, but then never holds it against the entourage either, he is happy they're on board by the end ❤ I recently went wedding dress shopping myself, and I want to thank you Luke for your frequent comments about unnecessary belts! The dress I chose has a satin belt and I asked the assistant not to put it on! She agreed it looks better without 😄
In a somewhat tangential way, the mermaid silhouette dress that she wears brought my mind to Marion Cotillard's iconic custom Jean Paul Gaultier gown from when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2008. I'd love to see you do a video ranking the looks of all of the Best Actress winners throughout history -- or something similar!
Here to second this!! For me it’s Michelle Williams yellow Vera Wang dress in 2006. The red lip, the hair, Michelle and Heath were so in love and just welcomed their daughter. The whole thing was perfection.
Better help is super shady they have shared their patients info to social media companies without consent. for someone being treated for any mental illness that is a huge invasion of privacy and feels extremely violating. Please choose more ethical sponsors
Therapists who have worked with them have also criticized the pay as well as lack of boundaries in the setup of communication between patient and counselor.
They also have had a big controversy in the past. I'm confused that no one seems to remember that. They just went quiet for a while, but now they're just... back.
After watching these videos I realize how lucky I was when I went dress shopping. I brought my mom and sister with me and they were nothing but supportive.
I’m totally doing this at mine. It’s the color of passion. The whole “virginal white bride” is tired and I want to wear a gown that makes my groom GASP…and more importantly, that reflects who I am. Bonus points if I piss off judgmental onlookers!
Completely and totally unrelated lol but my dog got one of those cones recently and on the bill it was tagged, “Edwardian collar.” I was like ooo what a fanciful fashionable man we are! 😂
I love colored dresses and even those who prefer different styles. If I ever get married that would be a fun thing to keep in mind cuz I’m not fond of the white to off-white dresses all the time and especially how the meaning changed so much over time.
disappointed by the betterhelp sponsorship though with the lack of patient privacy and underpaying their therapists. i get needing to make money off sponsorships but it's always a letdown when a good creator takes a bad sponsorship
Before Queen Victoria popularises the white wedding dress, people wore whatever colour. I always thought it was Princess Charlotte of Wales who wore pink to her wedding, but it was Alice, Duchess of Gloucester.
YES! I love yes to the dress!!! ❤ I really think all the white dresses that were pulled had the option of coming in that baby pink bc it's the bride's color choice. ❤
I'm super pale so I rarely look good in white. Even if I do, it would still ruin all the pictures because I would be a walking reflective panel.😂 I normally don't like pink but somehow I love pink (and lavender) wedding dresses. My taste is exactly the opposite from yours. I don't like the first one - especially the two colors on it. It would leave me with an impression that the bodice got discolored in the closet. The last one was very whimsical and the pattern will look good on the beach IMO, but it would probably look better if it wasn't cut off in the middle with this draped plain fabric instead of flowing naturally through the whole dress. To each their own.😉
Thank youuuu! I have been rewatching your old reacting say yes to the dress vids all week!! hahaha! I don't watch the show but i love your reaction to the program! So glad you continue to make these
I was very concerned that the second bride's mother in law might go full Uber-Karen, based on the strong opinions and the spiky haircut, and I am very glad she was supportive by the end. Loved seeing these two brides get their perfect dresses. 💖
my best friend who is korean wore a red wedding dress which i love, and in her culture it is a normal thing you wear red to celebrate thing and white is for deaths
Hi Luke from the stroppy little island, u.k !! That southern drawwwl ! I love any & all accents , love listening to your n.y. wise-guy heehee ! Loved you telling us what you hear on the mean streets.. And humour , always humour alongside a skilled eye. Choosing to not go full fashion roast on these ladies' choices is good. I wish they had shown us an image of the first beautiful lady's pink version of her chosen dress, just a still pic at the end. Very glad she stuck to her wish for pink. Her bridesmaids etc could wear another colour or tone of their liking & it would still work, do you think ? The funny dramatics among the staff is gr8 too. Thanx from ol' fangirl Ali x
Luke, I really enjoy your haute couture content, especially when you’re critiquing the runway collections. However, I’m really enjoying your SYTTD series that the algorithm found for me.
I love how you repeat words and phrases with the accents. I've noticed that in other videos. I do the same thing and my 12 year old daughter is so embarrassed. But I can't help myself. LOL. Interesting perspective about how folks who don't work in fashion describe/talk about fashion with an entirely different vocabulary than those who do. Another great video. :)
I wore a pink wedding dress and it was almost impossible to find. I had to find a local shop that sold the line but didn't stock the dress model or color. It took almost 6 months and multiple appointments for me to actually get my dress in their shop. Glad they put up with me in the meantime.
At 15:56 I think that specific shade of pink maybe distracts from how you could look at the design of the appliqués. I think they give off kind of a seaweed/tropical flower vine/ballerina mermaid/flower petals on the water feel. Notneven a complaint, that shade of pink makes the dress read like jellyfish, sort of, but like those videos of them where they are so beautiful and graceful and luminescent. She looked float-y in it, too.
The baby pink bride slayed the dress. I’m glad she held to the pink. Her entourage should respect her wants. They get to choose whatever color they want to get married in. So should she
Thanks Luke!! I surprised myself and fell completely in love with a blush dress which ended up being my wedding dress 💖 It was prefect for our fairy tale winter wedding
Unless one of them is paying, who cares what a bunch of family members and friends think about your wedding gown? Why does their taste in clothes and opinions matter at all, especially when they have no sense of style 🤦♀️😂
You know what? The idea of Luke critiquing SYTTD, in theory, would have scrambled my brain. In reality, I loved this thank you for doing this Luke - and always being on the side of the bride, obviously.
My big ruffled ballgown ceremony dress came in baby pink and it was TEMPTING. But the dress in ivory was already such a statement so I was like better not.
My wedding dress is blush. I have a lot of pink undertones in my skin so it actually looks white. The other colors (ivory, white, etc.) looked wrong against my skin tone.
