Jessica Willis is very fond of Sharon, her mother in law, but she refuses to compromise her vision of the wedding to fit in with Sharon's traditional taste. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
She looked gorgeous, with or without veil the decoration in the hair would have been fine with or without veil that dress was meant for her and the colour was beautifully subtle.:)
My friend makes historical costumes and I fell in love with a medieval inspired wedding gown she had made many years ago. I told her that if I ever get married that she's going to make my wedding dress, but I will pay her for more than the supplies and her time because her dresses are incredibly beautiful. The wedding dress she made was green, which I think was the traditional colour for brides in England or Scotland. I think light blue was for women in France but I am not sure. All I know is that if I want to have a wedding I want to have a beautiful medieval inspired wedding dress, and I don't want it to be white. White became a colour for Christian brides in the Victorian period.
@@TiffWaffles That’s awesome! I just got married and wore a red Italian Renaissance dress for my wedding. Highly recommend a historical style if you are into it! Some people might think it is strange that is it isn’t white, but I think it’s way more important to wear what you like and a colour that you know looks amazing on you, rather than try to meet everyone else’s expectations.
I don't normally care about veils but that pink veil really took it from a gorgeous prom dress to a stunning bridal gown. I hope she decided to wear it.
She was so sweet and even at the end she was happy to even hear her say she would think about it! When these are responses you get from in-laws it’s gonna be a beautiful marriage
So true, it was so refreshing to see the mother in law respect what the bride wanted and she wasn't like "NO, WHITE DRESS OR NOTHING!" as well as the bride being willing to compromise and try a veil to make her family happy
@@innag6888 Luckily, it wasn't your wedding now was it? What is it with the obsession with white wedding gowns? White on brides in the Western world is fairly new and came into the picture in the Victorian ages. I don't want a white wedding gown. I want a beautiful medieval inspired wedding gown that is not white, and I don't think it will have lace on it, either.
probably one of the nicest mother-in-laws on the show. She was so sweet and didnt disrespect the bride's likes and dislikes despite having completely different preferences
@@AkireMaru That's the issue with these mother's though. They see their daughters as a reflection of themselves, but they aren't. Their daughters are their own people with their own preferences, and they need to realise that.
I love her choice of the pink wedding dress and the veil brought it together without being overpowering. I know know that she wasn’t fond of the veil but it just fit her personality perfectly. I hope that she chose to wear it but it is ultimately her choice.
She can wear the veil for part of the wedding and ditch it for the reception. She is a gorgeous bride. MIL is truly going to be another mother for her. She hopes she will go traditional but is not rude or unclassy. She's rather sweet.
@@sully2374 My mother in law and I did not get along when we first met, but this past year has really helped us grow together. I have shown her that I will always be there for her when she needs me, and she has shown me that she will always help me with my kids. It happens eventually
I think I want a pink dress for my future wedding as well. However, I want mine to be a much lighter pink, like a pale pink with white lace, pearls, crystals, and sterling silver accents.
I'm getting married soon and my wedding gown is satin with a plush pink bodice and ivory skirt with lots of tulle in the underskirt. Very Sleeping beauty inspired minus the cathedral veil
EXO since 2013 I mean I hate how families feel like their opinion matters more. Like “okay mother-in-law what would make this work?” Ummm it’s not her day.
I agree, she wasn’t too rude and want too pushy. She was also treating the daughter in law as her own actual daughter. She was very sweet and kind overall
.....If this bride to be could only see what everyone sees. The veil makes the dress. And all of it makes her a bride. She is being very foolish on her 50/50 idea.
@@lotteg.1311 Depending on the school, there are proms where parents pay alot of money for their kids dresses. And we arent talking about the price, we are talking about the look. It looks like an elegant prom dress.
And why would this even be a problem?? The bride should wear whatever she feels comfortable in.. It doesn't matter if it's a prom dress, a summer dress or lingerie...
Idara Akpan yup I’ve dealt with plenty of them as a photographer. I hate seeing brides, and grooms as well, be dragged down by the negativity. It’s disgusting.
her wedding, her dress, her decision, if a pink layered chiffon ball gown says caribbean wedding to her, who is anyone else to say otherwise, she is the one who will wear the dress, if she doesn't want to wear a veil again she is the one who will be wearing it.....or not
@@tinydancer7426 Nobody said that... Stop getting so defensive lol the issue is she chose a dress that was completely different from what she wanted and described. But I guess she changed her mind once she saw that dress, which is beautiful.
"a pink dress does not say I'm a bride" if you need a white dress to tell who the bride is, is it possible you went to the wrong wedding if you don't know who the Bride is?
exactly. The pink dress doesn't look bridal enough, it just looks like any other dress but the veil makes it look more bridal. I hope she kept the veil.
Since the dress is so nontraditional. the veil helps give it that traditional element and makes it look like a wedding dress instead of an evening gown.
Am I getting Married? No Am I in a relationship? Not even close Am I watching episodes of say yes to the dress? YES Edit 1 year later: woah I’m famous 😂
Such a sweet mother in law. Shows people that you can have an opinion without being an ass about it. The bride is great too, being willing to compromise without entirely giving up on what she wants
Some people act as if pink and colors other than white wedding dresses are “weird”. Y’all have never seen Pakistani wedding dresses. Bright red, blue, purple. Whatever color your heart desires. Also, the designs are beautiful.
Rust Jones I see. I understand every culture is different. I understand now that white is the tradition of the west. We both have very different cultures and religions anyway, so I guess I shouldn’t have been comparing in the first place. Thanks for the reply.
Ah ya duh I see now. It’s a sign of impurity in the western traditions. Thanks for the info. In Pakistani weddings, you’ll probably never see a bride with a white dress. It might happen, but I’ve never seen it before.
@@caffelatte8955 actually the white wedding dress in the west is a relatively new idea. Queen Victoria in 1840 wore a simple white wedding dress which was out of the normal when traditionally royalty wore colorful, elaborate gowns. So while the 'impure' thing can be IMPLIED, that's not really the reason brides wear white on their wedding day. It's because Victoria popularized that style of wedding dress and everyone wanted to copy her and before then, Western women wore colorful gowns like most of the world
The veil LOOKS FANTASTIC it really accents her appearance It does make the dress stand out and makes her look like a beautiful bride Without it looks more like a bridesmaid's dress I HOPE SHE CHOSE TO KEEP IT I don't usually agree with the mother-in-law , this is one time I do
I work in a bridal shop and this is really how most normal people behave. It is not often that we get the really petty people that overreact about a color or a veil. But man when it does it is a trainwreck.
She looks SO beautiful in that dress. It’s perfect for her. And agreed that it’s refreshing to see a bride stand up for herself and a MIL who actually cares about the bride’s feelings.
*bride walks out with the dress that she wants* Bride’s mother in law: no *Say Yes to the Dress crew adds veil* Bride’s mother in law: OMG, ITS PERFECT
Well she did like the dress just not the colour. She did say that the veil made the difference. Also if the dress made the bride happy then she was happy
Some people just aren’t good at visualisation. My niece took me house hunting because she hated everything she saw but I could point out all the potential and practical things that ticked her boxes and she saw it differently.
Slick Spongebob hunny no. How bout you stfd bc sis no one wanna hear your annoying attitude, let me do what I want to do with peace. Doubt you will tho bc judging from what u said, I feel sorry for the people that live around you smh 😬😂
I like the mother, she was nice and respectful. And I do agree with her that her daughter in law should wear the veil since pulls everything together and plus it looked more as a wedding dress. With out it, it feels like I could've worn it at my prom
The veil honestly made the dress even better! It went from formal party dress, to romantic in a second. Plus for some reason her swept back and the crown really added to it.
I think it was a blush color too, so it matched the dress and just looked stunning, I really love the beads they added to her hair too, I think it all came together and it looked really nice.
Eileen Mcdonald First: he said it made her LOOK like a bride. Not that wearing a vail makes her a bride. Second: I agree that a vail just ties the whole bridal look all together. Completely. It makes it look and feel entirely real.
It was sad her own family could not her there. But its great she has a mother in law she likes, and agrees with on the dress. I wish more mothers in law could be like her. 👏👏
The major problem in this kinda of relationship is that most parents think that they are raising their children for themselves. But no. Children are raised for the WORLD. So when parents are so posessive they get jealous of the future husband/wife. The truth is Mother and Woman have different types of loves. Thank to the Gods my mother in law actually see me as her new daughter. We are best friends and she always jokes around "Why i will fight or compete with her? She is the one that makes him (her son) calm down in the room you know! He is a sweet now!" She is really funny and open minded.
I heavily dislike my in laws; she called me a whore and he called me a bitch, all because my fiancé moved in with me, and still brings it up every time she calls me. I have come to the conclusion that I will never have in laws that like me for me.
Gosh the amount of people who have dissagreed with me when I said that🙄. They make any normal dress in white, label it a white dress and charge you tripple for it.
Before queen Victoria brides wore a lot of types and colours of dresses, in some countries white is also a mourning colour. Also white is not flattering on a lot of people l think different colours are the way to go
She looks amazing in that dress, it's so feminine and sexy. l'm betting the groom loved it! lt's nice to see someone who doesn't look like every other bride, but the veil does make it more 'wedding' like.
The dress FIT her beautifully and to me, a perfect vibe for a Caribbean wedding. Can we all please adopt your mother in law to be? Listen to her; the veil truly does FRAME the dress. Goes from pretty to gorgeous.
Not always true. I did not wear a veil. I don't like short veils so they were out. My dress had red at the back as a big accent. A long veil would just mute the dress.
@@shellymedley6795 any dress can be made bridal, if the bride is in the dress- it's bridal. It doesn't have to be labeled bridal in order for it to be bridal.
I think in some cases it makes sense. Here for example. I think the dress just looks like a fancy prom dress and the veil kinda made it a wedding dress. Here it changed the vibe completly from prom dress to wedding dress. In other cases it makes less sense though.
I’m gonna be honest- I think the bride was making a huge deal out of the mother in law liking traditional weddings. The mother in law wasn’t pushy or anything and respected the bride’s opinions and likes. The fact that the mother in law was being honest and politely disagreeing with the pink dress at first, but the bride was freaking out. Yes I understand it could be anxiety but my thoughts are the producers told her to do stuff like that.
Yes you can see with this show it's mostly scripted. They probably get a reduction on the cost of the dress for taking part, so need to make up some shenanigans.
I agree with you, I get that it's her dress but sometimes you have to compromise and I don't think wearing a veil was too much of an ask from her in-law. Most likely scripted
"Look like a bride should like" is the MIL's preference and opinion. Glad that the MIL supported the decision to go pink. It is the bride's day and she must be comfortable in it and it should only be her say. Never feel obligated to please anyone but yourself. Love pink, so thought it was lovely, and the veil was sweet.
When I chose my wedding dress I was alone. It was my wedding, my dress. Nobody to criticise my choice and I loved it. It was a sort of dark cream colour. I didn't have very much to spend and the prices these brides spend on a frock the will wear for a few hours although they are beautiful gowns is eyewatering! I still have my wedding dress. It is completely out of fashion and I wouldn't get it on now but it is special.
She looked stunning in the pink wedding dress .. maybe a beautiful flower or crystal brooch with a touch of blush tulle to place in her hair would complete the look ..
