I love that you kept the pink hair both because you love it and precisely because it’s part of what defines this time in your life. I actually love when wedding photos have a distinct vibe of the time they happened in and the style the couple liked at the time-I think it emphasizes the couple’s journey together into different stages in their lives, which carry them through different periods of fashion (both societal and personal).
Not going to lie - the dress having pockets amazes and impresses me. Sure, it was beautiful too, but the fact that it was also utilitarian is just fantastic.
Will Jamie do a Video about his suits? It would be interesting as well because almost no one goes into detail for the “male wedding clothes”. It’s often reduced to a side note but the groom (or the “not the bride” person in the relationship) sure has had his journey too.
His Asian suit (suit for the Asian wedding?? Idk I'm not familiar with the fashion) looked so fitting too! Like I don't mean only size wise like it looked amazing on him great colors etc.
Thank you so much for including us in your wedding in all the ways that you have! I'm so glad you prioritized ENJOYING your own wedding, and I love that you chose to keep the pink! If you decide you want pictures without pink hair someday, that just means you have a reason to dress up again and take new pictures 😊
Okay, you asked what I did with my wedding dress. I had it turned into a quilt and canopy when we had our child. My grandmother had her dress shortened and dyed to be an evening dress. There are all kinds of things that you can do, including donating it to an organization that helps people who can’t afford a dress.
My wedding was very colorful: my two flower girls were the only ones in white. I skipped the dress entirely and created an outfit from four different items I bought on Etsy: a sapphire-blue bolero, a goldenrod knitted swimsuit top, and a forest-green skirt layered over a deep-red one. Each bridesmaid dress had a unique cut and style to suit the wearer, and matched one of the colors in my outfit. The groom and groomsmen wore the same colors, but in pastels. I really wanted everyone in the bridal party to be comfortable and to be able to re-wear the clothes they bought for the wedding. Today was our five year wedding anniversary 😁.
I love that you wore trainers under your wedding dresses! And it's great that you put your own comfort over looks, it's something I've always said I will do when I get married. :) You looked (and still do look) gorgeous, by the way.
Finally somebody saying don't be "timeless" lol I hate the idea of people thinking it's so horrible recognizing a decade in photographs from a wedding. People are so into nostalgia and copying looks from previous decades and yet they think it's horrible looking like it's the 2020's, when it comes to weddings. Also what people consider "timeless" now are the actual trends of now, just specifically for weddings, and they sure as hell are gonna change through time. What might be considered timeless now, will just be outdated in a few years or decades, so yeah
Shaaba, I have never imagined myself getting hitched, and have never really understood the aesthetics or the vibe of the event, I always imagined MAYBE a court wedding for myself. Over time watching your wedding videos and seeing how you speak of the wedding and of people coming together has made the idea of having more of a ceremony more tangible and something I'm more open to the idea of doing when I find the right person. Not saying that I'm easily influenced about getting wed lol, I'm saying that the amount of love and joy about the event that you share with us as an audience has positively impacted my views of it all. You have given a lens that made me look at something differently and thank you for these cute and more intimate videos, you shine brightly
Hey, friend. I'm aromantic myself, and have come to a similar realization. But if my brother's wedding(s) taught me anything, it's that you can have the best of both worlds! He and his lovely wife had a COVID-era church wedding that was just immediate family. Once things were safe again, they held their reception. In the small chance I get married, that's what I want. I want to marry my partner at the courthouse with our families and closest friends present, then go out for sushi and champagne. Afterwards, maybe a few days or even weeks later, we throw a massive garden party and invite everyone else. At most, we share a speech or have our loved ones share their own thoughts and their own voice.
What I loved the most about your dress was exactly the structure and fabric, it looked so sleek and elegant, like it was cut to fit around your body like a glove and make you glow. Amazing choice overall, and the veil added an extra touch of elegance
Your dress is absolutely stunning! Love it! I wore a red velvet dress that my grandmother had made for herself in the 1970’s. She passed during Covid, and I’m so glad I have that amazing piece that she worked so hard on. ❤️ You looked sublime in your pictures, so happy for you both!
I was in a wedding recently where the bride had wooden flowers! Us bridesmaids had silk bouquets that she made herself, and I actually have mine hanging on my wall now. She also had a crinoline to poof out her skirt (she wore a tulle a-line dress) and I sewed bright pink tulle to the bottom layer of it so when she lifted her skirt or spun around you could see the flash of color.
You made me cry! I saw the wedding video you put out recently and got a look at it. And I remember the prepandemic shopping. Thank you for sharing this with us! You look gorgeous in this dress. My dress was quite lacy with a wide satin sash belt, and my veil was a hip length mantilla. After lugging them around for decades, I donated them to a charity shop so someone else could have a beautiful affordable wedding. I do not regret keeping them so long, but when I did donate them I was ready to do so. You do you.
Hear, hear! I gave away my first wedding dress. It was lovely to have something good come out of what had become something awful. I kept my second wedding dress in case one day my daughter would like to get married in it. If she doesn't, then I'll reconsider, but it's there, in its bag, waiting for that happy day
I absolutely love how you prioritised for your wedding, so many little details that showed so much love for you, Jamie, and the people in your wedding party ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Congratulations Shaaba!! I’m so happy you were beautiful and most importantly comfortable and happy on your wedding day, I’m thrilled for you and Jamie both ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Even 11 years after my wedding I still love hearing others stories! Reminds me of a wonderful day in my life. Thanks for sharing!! I had my dress made from scratch. It was exactly what I wanted and nothing like I ever expected to wear! I don't wear dresses, I don't go for frills, flowery, lacy or bejeweled. My dress was all of that! I still love it! It's in my hope chest, which my parents bought me for my sweet 16. Yes I'm that old lol. My flowers were all artificial because of my mom's allergies and she is the one who gave me away! So special then and more so now that she's gone. I love my husband more today than I did on that day, and amazingly I still like him too! Congratulations to you both!!! Love is amazing and should be celebrated! I wish you so much happiness but remember on the difficult days that's why you are with your partner, to be there for each other in everything! 🥰🥰🥰
Me too, I really like that it's not too much, just simple elegance with a little bit of spark, so it wasn't overwhelming but complimented Shaaba's unusual beauty. I really liked that she kept the pink hair. And if she ever stops loving pink, she can have photos in black and white or sepia. And I am kind of curious how many guests actually noticed she's wearing converse without her telling them xD
Yeah! I thought it was fine, till I say the silver beading. Perfect!! I’m sure it was stunning in person. Just perfect juxtaposition and at the same time nod to the Mehdi gown!
Yaaaasss when my mom married more than 30 years ago she wore a huge, very Cinderella like dress and even though she now isn't into such extravagant things she tells me that she still likes it because she knows how happy she was with it that day
So simple but so elegant! Shaaba you look like a princess in that dress, which is fitting since you are such a QUEEN! I also love the little impression of your nan! *Grandma voice) "It's too short." 🤣🤣
You looked absolutely fabulous! I love the dress and veil and honestly everything about your outfit. It was not underwhelming, it was the opposite and I almost cried at how happy you looked! I honestly might keep your dress in mind for inspiration for whenever I get married, it's stunning, simple and sexy at the same time 😊 Congrats to both of you, can't wait to see next week's video
Yeah, I think it's better to be underdressed than overdressed, but more importantly to be comfortable in what you wear. This dress really compliments her silhouette and looks great with pink hair (actually I think it would look awesome with any hair colour, even rainbow). If I were her I think I would keep the dress, dye it and wear on different occasions.
I had a very basic but nice white summer dress. Recently dyed it blue, and now use it as my 'smart' dress to wear at other weddings, I like that it is seeing more than just one happy day..
Your bridal dress suits you so well. You look amazing. Can’t believe it had pockets! I’m doing a fancy white top and a yellow tulle skirt for my wedding next month, and I had a pocket built in!
I think that the pink hair was a fantastic compliment to the whole look because you had flowers on the veil and it was like the opposite of colorful flowers in plain colored hair, so white flowers on colorful hair! (I don’t know if that made sense but to me, you looked perfect)
You looked stunning in that beautiful dress. I think its rare to find a bride in a dress that doesnt suit them because usually they just know what makes them feel special and the dress becomes theirs even if it isnt something they would normally go for.
Shaaba you relaeasted this right as I am having a wee academic panic. Thank you for this ray of sunshine. Also congrats !!! (And if you are not sure what to do with your dress but want to keep it I have seen people wear them to rennissanse fairs/ snow queen outfits/ ect, and its always a treat)
You chose a beautiful white dress! Simple and elegant, with just enough sparkle to make it pop. I've been sewing my dress myself, because I don't want to wear white and I couldn't find a dress quite as ✨extra✨ as I want it to be. It's dark green with a white crinoline peeking out in the front, short puffy sleeves and a big gold heart applique in the front. I'm also wearing a lace cape instead of a veil and green lace-up boots. I feel fabulous in it. 💃
I teard (teared?) up two years ago and I teared up now. You look amazing in all the dresses (it's just something about people in wedding dresses) but seeing your happiness and comfort in the one you chose made it especially special and beautiful and that's exactly what you'd want from your wedding dress. I don't think I, personally, would go for a traditional wedding dress for my own wedding but omg you looked amazing in it and also I LOVED the pink hair it ooked amazing. Weddings are snapshots of the person you were then and the life you wee leading at the point at you keeping your pink hair is the most authetic you could have been. So happy you felt so confident and comfortable with the whole occasion.
I got married four years ago and I bought two dresses in charity shops and then altered them. My ceremony one was very Downton Abbey season 1, multiple layers of chiffon and silk with split sleeves, appliqué lace and pearl beading. I plan to alter it again for our 20th anniversary vow renewal (20 is our special number). I still think it's the most beautiful dress in the world 😍. My reception dress was an asymmetrical 1920s style tea length dress with flutter sleeves. It also had appliqué lace which I painted blue and violet, our wedding colours, and I wear it on our anniversaries, if you can do this I really recommended it 👰. Love your dress Shaaba 💕
I love that dress! Yes it is simple, but that is also what I love about it. I have never fallen for those puffy-Cindarella type dresses. Just simple, sleek, with simple (but beautiful) decor details. Absolutly gorgeous!
Dang it, I made it almost to the end and then I teared up. I love weddings. I also love the idea of doing what you choose. My dress was very simple like yours, I borrowed it from a friend. I planned my wedding in 3 weeks.
I LOOOOVE THIS! I love the converse! That’s fantastic. Will you do a video about your Asian dress? I would love so much to hear all about that too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Congrats again to you and Jamie! ❤
Well this was an absolute joy to watch. I got married 8 years ago and my dress was the full princess lacy sparkly corset ballgown. I'd expected to go for a minimally structured Regency cut gown! But that wasn't what felt right when it was on. I still have it in its bag. Should do something proper with it but never know what! Considered for a while getting it made into a memory teddy bear but actually I quite sincerely believe teddies should be held and loved and played with and I couldn't let my children (I now have 2!) get a bear made from such expensive and sentimental materials grubby. So, in my wardrobe it is.
I'm with you on the artificial bouquet. As you said it I looked over to mine in its vase nearly 13 years later. Still brings me joy and it was lovingly created by my mother in law (who still uses our artificial centerpieces and bits of them all over their house). My dress is still sitting in a closet at my parents' house. Still haven't decided what to do with it.
Beautiful dress! I definitely think you should keep it (or at least the veil) so that you can pass it along to future kids/nieces/nephews. Thanks for sharing your wedding with us and congratulations!
You in that dress cause it is simply stunning! Not many instances where you get to wear that again sadly. I saw a comment once of someone dyeing their dress so they were able to keep on wearing it, but that would depend on the style on the dress and fabric/material. I would keep note on the characteristics I like and maybe find something similar, so the new clothes act as an homage to that
Both the weddings I’ve been a bridesmaid in had brides in sneakers. For the first one she wore blue heels that matched our dresses for the ceremony then switched to play for sneakers with pearls on the sides for dancing (her husband is very tall so she needed the platform). The 2nd one wore custom high top converse painted to look like Starry Night, which was their wedding theme. She is already a little taller than her husband so didn’t feel the need to wear heels and she could be comfortable all night.
Congratulations!! So happy for you! 💜💜 Edit: It has pockets?? 🎉 I wore converse for my wedding too! White high tops, and my friend painted beautiful art on the sides 🥰
I also had an artificial wedding bouquet for the exact same reason! But we did our wedding sort of spur of the moment (in 2020) with very little budget, so I made my own bouquet with Ikea flowers! It turned out really nice! For my wedding dress I got a vintage dress from 1950 which I tailored to myself. For hair I had the same style idea as you with a sparkly white branch and a part of my moms veil as dekoration. Even though it was last minute and very small, it was perfect and I look forward to having a larger party my all my friends and family ~
Loved your dress. Mine was similar except I had a lace top part overlayed. I love that it felt very classy 😊 wasn't something I expected to choose either
It is so cool that you wore converse! For my wedding 11years ago I wore my beloved hiking boots. Because of the same reason as you. I never wear highheels in everday life and I wanted to feel good and grounded the whole day of my wedding 😄
You looked beautiful. I still have my bouquet after 40 yrs. Still ha e my wedding dress, got it out a few months back and realised how slim I was back then.
My internet cut out right in the middle! Argh! Anyway - back to say, I so adore this dress on you and it looked SO right based on the other dresses you liked during that video of trying them on. I love the bit of bling on the cap sleeves and waste that allows the dress to then just show off the beautiful bride inside! Absolute stunner, Shaaba, absolute stunner! 💜💜💜 Jamie must have been breathless and gobsmacked and so entranced to see you, finally! Also edit: Holup on the sneak peak totally rad we need more now goth photo shoot of you in red! May I say wow!
You looked so happy and beautiful in your dress! And it was very cute how happy you were with the pockets! An artificial bouquet that you can keep forever is such a good idea tho, if i ever get married i want one like that
i love the dress so much on you. it suits you so well, and your face says it all,when you came out in it also: i don't know if it's a thing in th UK as well, but two of my friends kept their dresses and wear them once a year, because we have an event here for it. Brides and grooms can wear their wedding outfits again to attend a ball, which i think is very cute. also, it gives you a little more time to decide without "just" leaving the dress in the dresser (eventhough there is nothing wrong with that either, who am i to judge people) thank you for all these amazing videos- they truly give me life and while i am waiting for my fiance to get over his cold feet, i will use them to live vicariously through you :D
I love the dress especially the detail around the waist it's a gorgeous dress. U looked stunning in it 😍 thanks for showing us finally this secret footage!!!
I'm planning what to wear to my wedding, and I do experience some dysphoria, particularly around my chest, and that's making it a challenge, but it's so important to be comfortable! Just like you with the pink hair, there are some things I plan to do that aren't very traditional and may or may not age well according to others, but if it doesn't, that's okay. I've seen people keep their wedding attire and have an anniversary photoshoot later, which can be a fun way to keep the dress and try different hair and makeup with it, but there are lots of ideas out there depending on if you think you'd wear it again as is, or altered.
Aweee I've been waiting for this video for two years! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Needless to say, you looked stunning and the dress was so perfect. xxx
This was so fun to watch, thank you! I was wondering when you would make this! I completely agree with you on the comfortable footwear and the flowers for your bouquet. My best friend got married and they decided the same thing. That and now my boutonniere will last forever instead of wilt 🥰 Is Jamie's wedding attire video in the queue? 😁 He was pretty handsome as well 😎
My wedding dress has a lace back with flowers and I still love it so much. I kept it and I wear it every anniversary no matter what I'm doing except the year when I was very pregnant haha.
I bought white Birkenstocks for my wedding! My dress was very full and I also hat ballet slippers that shimmered. No one saw my feet from the full skirt!
i have never seen someone present their wedding dress and thought "this is the one i want" so baaaaaaadly as i do now. it's gorgeous! and YOU look gorgeous in it! gahhh
I didn't really expect exactly the dress you got but as soon as I saw it I wondered why I hadn't! You looked absolutely incredible - I love how your pink hair puts some artificial colour in your outfit! Also the converse idea? Amazing. I like dresses but I hate femme shoes so I will be stealing that idea if I ever get married ☺
Yay for wedding Converses! 😆 I hate high heels, there's literally only one pair of formal shoes I'd ever been *relatively* comfortable in and I was lucky enough to find a version of them in white, which I wore for the ceremony and sit-down meal, but when the time for dancing came, they had to come off and be replaced by my burgundy Converses which I l o v e (I've had them for over 10 years, I had ordered them with the word "journey" embroidered on them and I've travelled the world in them, worn them in every holiday, hike, visit to meaningful places, they could not be missing from my wedding!).
Yes for the converse. My best friend did the same (with silver trim) and looked incredible while also being able to dance the night away. Edit for typos
Perfect bridal wiggle! Before we even got engaged I tried on a dress… then tried dresses for 2 years (& in 2 states) just to special order the very first style I’d tried on (which had actually been discontinued by the time I decided!) Celebrating 26 years in March!
Sooo beautiful!!! I'm so happy for you to finally getting married. You and Jamie are just couple goals and I wish I will have such a wonderful connection like the both of you share♥
My dress was a medieval style royal blue top with white underskirt in silk. I used it for world book day as a princess and in a school play where I was the fairy godmother. My husband wore a kilt in a Welsh tartan. We got married on the London Eye. It was fabulous!

Never shut up about it, Shaaba. We love seeing you so happy.
exactly!
It's always a good sign if they still talk about it.
In 20 years when you remember your wedding day, you will remember how good you FELT, regardless if you won't be into pink hair by then!
I love that you kept the pink hair both because you love it and precisely because it’s part of what defines this time in your life. I actually love when wedding photos have a distinct vibe of the time they happened in and the style the couple liked at the time-I think it emphasizes the couple’s journey together into different stages in their lives, which carry them through different periods of fashion (both societal and personal).

Yes!!! This!!! And he looked so handsome and stylish!
The shoes too!!
His Asian suit (suit for the Asian wedding?? Idk I'm not familiar with the fashion) looked so fitting too! Like I don't mean only size wise like it looked amazing on him great colors etc.
@@Ruby-yn5fp Weren't those slim-tailored gold britches wonderful? Jamie really rocked the heck outta that gorgeous suit.
Thank you so much for including us in your wedding in all the ways that you have! I'm so glad you prioritized ENJOYING your own wedding, and I love that you chose to keep the pink! If you decide you want pictures without pink hair someday, that just means you have a reason to dress up again and take new pictures 😊

"I felt sexy and I felt confident" Yes girl you do what makes you feel good! You look beautiful in that

I love hearing about nontypical weddings! I'm glad you did what you wanted, i'm sure those are great memories. Happy Anniversary!
I bet that was such a fun wedding! It sounds beautiful
your outfit sounds very tsarpunky
Oh wow those combos sound amazing!
I love that you wore trainers under your wedding dresses! And it's great that you put your own comfort over looks, it's something I've always said I will do when I get married. :) You looked (and still do look) gorgeous, by the way.
You looked stunning in both outfits- I'd love to see an in-depth video about your Asian dress, too. It's so gorgeous!
Yes, Shaaba said she will be doing an indepth video. She's going to explain all the symbolism because not everyone is familiar with it all. 🌺👟💗
And, knowing very little about her culture, I'd love to learn more about the ceremonial/traditional meaning behind her whole outfit!
4:02 You’re an icon for LITERALLY INVENTING Bridal Outfit Flossing 🔥
Finally somebody saying don't be "timeless" lol I hate the idea of people thinking it's so horrible recognizing a decade in photographs from a wedding.

He and his lovely wife had a COVID-era church wedding that was just immediate family. Once things were safe again, they held their reception.

Aww, that's so cool, sentimental and eco friendly at the same time
And I'm sorry for your loss []
I was in a wedding recently where the bride had wooden flowers! Us bridesmaids had silk bouquets that she made herself, and I actually have mine hanging on my wall now. She also had a crinoline to poof out her skirt (she wore a tulle a-line dress) and I sewed bright pink tulle to the bottom layer of it so when she lifted her skirt or spun around you could see the flash of color.
The wedding was beautiful. You looked absolutely fabulous 👏🏽
You made me cry! I saw the wedding video you put out recently and got a look at it. And I remember the prepandemic shopping. Thank you for sharing this with us! You look gorgeous in this dress.

First, I think! Looking forward to this, the smile on your face every time you talk about this is marvellous!
aww enjoy the video! x
I absolutely love how you prioritised for your wedding, so many little details that showed so much love for you, Jamie, and the people in your wedding party ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Congratulations Shaaba!! I’m so happy you were beautiful and most importantly comfortable and happy on your wedding day, I’m thrilled for you and Jamie both ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are just so radiant. I’m not marrying anybody unless we look as happy as you and Jamie 💗
omg we finally get the conclusion to the dress shopping video!! I remember watching that video when it came out this is so cuteee
Even 11 years after my wedding I still love hearing others stories! Reminds me of a wonderful day in my life. Thanks for sharing!! I had my dress made from scratch. It was exactly what I wanted and nothing like I ever expected to wear! I don't wear dresses, I don't go for frills, flowery, lacy or bejeweled. My dress was all of that! I still love it!

Love is amazing and should be celebrated! I wish you so much happiness but remember on the difficult days that's why you are with your partner, to be there for each other in everything! 🥰🥰🥰
MY JAW DROPPED AT 10:32 OH MY GOD BEAUTIFUL
I love the wedding dress you chose!! It makes me super happy to see you so thrilled. Congrats to both you and Jamie! 😘❤
Me too, I really like that it's not too much, just simple elegance with a little bit of spark, so it wasn't overwhelming but complimented Shaaba's unusual beauty.

Yeah! I thought it was fine, till I say the silver beading. Perfect!! I’m sure it was stunning in person. Just perfect juxtaposition and at the same time nod to the Mehdi gown!
I love the simplicity of the dress because it puts the attention on you, you know compliments you! You look great
That's the words I was looking for xD
The dress fit you perfectly! I love a-line dresses anyway but everything about that dress on you...*chef's kiss*. And yay, pockets!
Yaaaasss when my mom married more than 30 years ago she wore a huge, very Cinderella like dress and even though she now isn't into such extravagant things she tells me that she still likes it because she knows how happy she was with it that day
So elegant and lovely, and it showed you off! It didn't look like it could walk down the aisle without you.
So simple but so elegant! Shaaba you look like a princess in that dress, which is fitting since you are such a QUEEN!
I also love the little impression of your nan! *Grandma voice) "It's too short." 🤣🤣
So beautiful in its entirety but, most importantly, you felt comfortable and beautiful in the ensemble.
You looked absolutely fabulous! I love the dress and veil and honestly everything about your outfit. It was not underwhelming, it was the opposite and I almost cried at how happy you looked! I honestly might keep your dress in mind for inspiration for whenever I get married, it's stunning, simple and sexy at the same time 😊 Congrats to both of you, can't wait to see next week's video

This dress really compliments her silhouette and looks great with pink hair (actually I think it would look awesome with any hair colour, even rainbow).

Actually it looks kinda cool on a thumbnail xD
I had a very basic but nice white summer dress. Recently dyed it blue, and now use it as my 'smart' dress to wear at other weddings, I like that it is seeing more than just one happy day..
Your bridal dress suits you so well. You look amazing. Can’t believe it had pockets! I’m doing a fancy white top and a yellow tulle skirt for my wedding next month, and I had a pocket built in!
I think that the pink hair was a fantastic compliment to the whole look because you had flowers on the veil and it was like the opposite of colorful flowers in plain colored hair, so white flowers on colorful hair! (I don’t know if that made sense but to me, you looked perfect)
It's absolutely perfect for you. You project the happiness I'm this dress
You looked stunning in that beautiful dress. I think its rare to find a bride in a dress that doesnt suit them because usually they just know what makes them feel special and the dress becomes theirs even if it isnt something they would normally go for.
Shaaba you relaeasted this right as I am having a wee academic panic. Thank you for this ray of sunshine. Also congrats !!! (And if you are not sure what to do with your dress but want to keep it I have seen people wear them to rennissanse fairs/ snow queen outfits/ ect, and its always a treat)
The pink hair with the wedding dress was fantastic -- great pop of color against the white wedding dress!
Omg absolutely gorgeous slay queen 👑
omg thank you rainbow toaster pog name x
You chose a beautiful white dress! Simple and elegant, with just enough sparkle to make it pop.
I've been sewing my dress myself, because I don't want to wear white and I couldn't find a dress quite as ✨extra✨ as I want it to be. It's dark green with a white crinoline peeking out in the front, short puffy sleeves and a big gold heart applique in the front. I'm also wearing a lace cape instead of a veil and green lace-up boots. I feel fabulous in it. 💃
The dress is *gorgeous* and fits you so well and your face is just priceless
I teard (teared?) up two years ago and I teared up now. You look amazing in all the dresses (it's just something about people in wedding dresses) but seeing your happiness and comfort in the one you chose made it especially special and beautiful and that's exactly what you'd want from your wedding dress.
I don't think I, personally, would go for a traditional wedding dress for my own wedding but omg you looked amazing in it and also I LOVED the pink hair it ooked amazing. Weddings are snapshots of the person you were then and the life you wee leading at the point at you keeping your pink hair is the most authetic you could have been. So happy you felt so confident and comfortable with the whole occasion.
I got married four years ago and I bought two dresses in charity shops and then altered them. My ceremony one was very Downton Abbey season 1, multiple layers of chiffon and silk with split sleeves, appliqué lace and pearl beading. I plan to alter it again for our 20th anniversary vow renewal (20 is our special number). I still think it's the most beautiful dress in the world 😍. My reception dress was an asymmetrical 1920s style tea length dress with flutter sleeves. It also had appliqué lace which I painted blue and violet, our wedding colours, and I wear it on our anniversaries, if you can do this I really recommended it 👰.
Love your dress Shaaba 💕
I love the girl that brought the tissues lol
Beautiful! 🌸
I know you are 🥺
You look stunning in both dresses! OMG!! And your White dress is everything I want in a dress!! 😍
I love that dress! Yes it is simple, but that is also what I love about it. I have never fallen for those puffy-Cindarella type dresses. Just simple, sleek, with simple (but beautiful) decor details. Absolutly gorgeous!
You looked so so pretty. I got a silk bouquet too. My daughter used it when she got married. Keep the dress.
Dang it, I made it almost to the end and then I teared up. I love weddings. I also love the idea of doing what you choose. My dress was very simple like yours, I borrowed it from a friend. I planned my wedding in 3 weeks.
I LOOOOVE THIS! I love the converse! That’s fantastic.
Will you do a video about your Asian dress? I would love so much to hear all about that too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congrats again to you and Jamie! ❤
The pink hair went so so well with the bouquet 💐 you look amazing
Well this was an absolute joy to watch.
I got married 8 years ago and my dress was the full princess lacy sparkly corset ballgown. I'd expected to go for a minimally structured Regency cut gown! But that wasn't what felt right when it was on. I still have it in its bag. Should do something proper with it but never know what! Considered for a while getting it made into a memory teddy bear but actually I quite sincerely believe teddies should be held and loved and played with and I couldn't let my children (I now have 2!) get a bear made from such expensive and sentimental materials grubby. So, in my wardrobe it is.
Mmmmh I love the fabric and the cut. it's smooth it's crisp it's elegant it sits on you excellently everything a good wedding gown should do
love your analysis of the reasons the dress worked well for you - very helpful!
The dress is absolutely gorgeous and Abigail is right, you look absolutely stunning in it. And I love its shape and the structure! 💕
Love hearing about how happy you guys are
I'm with you on the artificial bouquet. As you said it I looked over to mine in its vase nearly 13 years later. Still brings me joy and it was lovingly created by my mother in law (who still uses our artificial centerpieces and bits of them all over their house). My dress is still sitting in a closet at my parents' house. Still haven't decided what to do with it.
You're so pretty. I love the converse. You look so pleased with everything and it's so good to see you happy.
you looked positively radiant!
thank you for sharing 😊
I’m so happy you loved your wedding outfit even more than me! It looks wonderful, even more on you.
Beautiful dress! I definitely think you should keep it (or at least the veil) so that you can pass it along to future kids/nieces/nephews. Thanks for sharing your wedding with us and congratulations!
You in that dress cause it is simply stunning! Not many instances where you get to wear that again sadly. I saw a comment once of someone dyeing their dress so they were able to keep on wearing it, but that would depend on the style on the dress and fabric/material. I would keep note on the characteristics I like and maybe find something similar, so the new clothes act as an homage to that
The way I got so excited when you said it had pockets haha
Both the weddings I’ve been a bridesmaid in had brides in sneakers. For the first one she wore blue heels that matched our dresses for the ceremony then switched to play for sneakers with pearls on the sides for dancing (her husband is very tall so she needed the platform). The 2nd one wore custom high top converse painted to look like Starry Night, which was their wedding theme. She is already a little taller than her husband so didn’t feel the need to wear heels and she could be comfortable all night.
I also wore converse for my wedding a couple of weeks ago, I hate wearing heels and wanted to be comfortable
Yay! I watched the "yes to the dress" video a long time ago. Every time you've talked about the wedding, I've wanted to see the reveal
Congratulations!! So happy for you! 💜💜
Edit: It has pockets?? 🎉
I wore converse for my wedding too! White high tops, and my friend painted beautiful art on the sides 🥰
you looked absolutely beautiful!!! this was such an amazing video!
Oh that feeling of finding THE dress is so great. That confidence 🥰
Gorgeous! It looks so classy!
Real flowers for Lucy...how thoughtful!! Can't wait to learn more about your other gorgeous look
I also had an artificial wedding bouquet for the exact same reason!
But we did our wedding sort of spur of the moment (in 2020) with very little budget, so I made my own bouquet with Ikea flowers! It turned out really nice!
For my wedding dress I got a vintage dress from 1950 which I tailored to myself.
For hair I had the same style idea as you with a sparkly white branch and a part of my moms veil as dekoration.
Even though it was last minute and very small, it was perfect and I look forward to having a larger party my all my friends and family ~
Loved your dress. Mine was similar except I had a lace top part overlayed. I love that it felt very classy 😊 wasn't something I expected to choose either
It is so cool that you wore converse! For my wedding 11years ago I wore my beloved hiking boots. Because of the same reason as you. I never wear highheels in everday life and I wanted to feel good and grounded the whole day of my wedding 😄
You looked beautiful. I still have my bouquet after 40 yrs. Still ha e my wedding dress, got it out a few months back and realised how slim I was back then.
My internet cut out right in the middle! Argh! Anyway - back to say, I so adore this dress on you and it looked SO right based on the other dresses you liked during that video of trying them on. I love the bit of bling on the cap sleeves and waste that allows the dress to then just show off the beautiful bride inside! Absolute stunner, Shaaba, absolute stunner! 💜💜💜
Jamie must have been breathless and gobsmacked and so entranced to see you, finally!
Also edit: Holup on the sneak peak totally rad we need more now goth photo shoot of you in red! May I say wow!
You looked so happy and beautiful in your dress! And it was very cute how happy you were with the pockets! An artificial bouquet that you can keep forever is such a good idea tho, if i ever get married i want one like that
i love the dress so much on you. it suits you so well, and your face says it all,when you came out in it
also: i don't know if it's a thing in th UK as well, but two of my friends kept their dresses and wear them once a year, because we have an event here for it. Brides and grooms can wear their wedding outfits again to attend a ball, which i think is very cute. also, it gives you a little more time to decide without "just" leaving the dress in the dresser (eventhough there is nothing wrong with that either, who am i to judge people)
thank you for all these amazing videos- they truly give me life and while i am waiting for my fiance to get over his cold feet, i will use them to live vicariously through you :D
I love the dress especially the detail around the waist it's a gorgeous dress. U looked stunning in it 😍 thanks for showing us finally this secret footage!!!
I'm planning what to wear to my wedding, and I do experience some dysphoria, particularly around my chest, and that's making it a challenge, but it's so important to be comfortable! Just like you with the pink hair, there are some things I plan to do that aren't very traditional and may or may not age well according to others, but if it doesn't, that's okay.
I've seen people keep their wedding attire and have an anniversary photoshoot later, which can be a fun way to keep the dress and try different hair and makeup with it, but there are lots of ideas out there depending on if you think you'd wear it again as is, or altered.
You sooo picked the perfect dress! God you looked so beautiful!❤
Aweee I've been waiting for this video for two years! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Needless to say, you looked stunning and the dress was so perfect. xxx
This was so fun to watch, thank you! I was wondering when you would make this!
I completely agree with you on the comfortable footwear and the flowers for your bouquet. My best friend got married and they decided the same thing. That and now my boutonniere will last forever instead of wilt 🥰
Is Jamie's wedding attire video in the queue? 😁 He was pretty handsome as well 😎
My wedding dress has a lace back with flowers and I still love it so much. I kept it and I wear it every anniversary no matter what I'm doing except the year when I was very pregnant haha.
I bought white Birkenstocks for my wedding! My dress was very full and I also hat ballet slippers that shimmered. No one saw my feet from the full skirt!
i have never seen someone present their wedding dress and thought "this is the one i want" so baaaaaaadly as i do now. it's gorgeous! and YOU look gorgeous in it! gahhh
I didn't really expect exactly the dress you got but as soon as I saw it I wondered why I hadn't! You looked absolutely incredible - I love how your pink hair puts some artificial colour in your outfit! Also the converse idea? Amazing. I like dresses but I hate femme shoes so I will be stealing that idea if I ever get married ☺
That dress is not basic. It's elegant. ❤
Yay for wedding Converses! 😆 I hate high heels, there's literally only one pair of formal shoes I'd ever been *relatively* comfortable in and I was lucky enough to find a version of them in white, which I wore for the ceremony and sit-down meal, but when the time for dancing came, they had to come off and be replaced by my burgundy Converses which I l o v e (I've had them for over 10 years, I had ordered them with the word "journey" embroidered on them and I've travelled the world in them, worn them in every holiday, hike, visit to meaningful places, they could not be missing from my wedding!).
Yes for the converse. My best friend did the same (with silver trim) and looked incredible while also being able to dance the night away. Edit for typos
Perfect bridal wiggle! Before we even got engaged I tried on a dress… then tried dresses for 2 years (& in 2 states) just to special order the very first style I’d tried on (which had actually been discontinued by the time I decided!) Celebrating 26 years in March!
I'm.surpised how emotional I got.that was so beautiful
Sooo beautiful!!!
I'm so happy for you to finally getting married. You and Jamie are just couple goals and I wish I will have such a wonderful connection like the both of you share♥
Ahhhh, that dress!! It was so worth the wait to see, it's such a good one. 💖
So excited!
I loooved both of your looks, and Jamie's as well! You looked stunning all around
You looked gorgeous
My dress was a medieval style royal blue top with white underskirt in silk. I used it for world book day as a princess and in a school play where I was the fairy godmother. My husband wore a kilt in a Welsh tartan. We got married on the London Eye. It was fabulous!
