I love getting to watch brides find the perfect outfit for their special day, or days depending on who you are and where you come from! And that's why I'm so excited to get to react to Wedding dresses from India! With India becoming one of the fashion countries to watch, I thought reacting to some great wedding dress styles and the brides way of choosing their dream day outfit would be super cool and informative! And it was better than I could have ever imagined!

That red dress with the silver was jaw dropping. I’ve very rarely been stunned by a dress on this show and that one took my breath away.
lehenga only not lenga she just said lenga cause cause she had an accent you said it right the first time lesgoo
So, just for context, you want to keep the "sangeet dress" very colorful because sangeet is loud (in every way) and there are going to be colorful lights and a lot of dancing.
re: The white wedding dress; there are Anglo-Indians who follow the Christian/Catholic faith because of the country's colonial history with the British and Portuguese. They built churches, religious conversions occured, married the locals, etc so white weddings with an Indian touch are quite common. Sometimes there will be 2 weddings if the bride/groom are not of the other's faith.
This version is exponentially better than the US/Uk versions. I hate all of the fighting and arguments that happens and this feels much more supportive and caring.
This and the Lancashire versions are my favorite. I wish they had more episodes
While I do like looking at pretty dresses, the family drama is definitely part of the appeal of the show 😭
I love the supportive family, but I also can appreciate some beefing
Agreed. I have no interest in manufactured drama - I just like seeing women enjoy choosing their wedding dress.
Yes to the India and Lancashire being better! (Not so much on Indonesia, more grouchy family on those)
I feel like a good comparison with this too is UK drag race to US. US feels like it's not always about the drag and all about drama. UK seems supportive, the queens want to help and just in general do well.
You actually saw 3 different religions -- Parsi, Hindu, and Christian. Which is why the vibes/traditions were different!
❤ love that
I'm from Kerala, India. Lehenga isn't our dress. My father says that its just a bra and skirt
@@anumol3324Its a blouse not a bra. Please educate your father and teach him to respect others and their traditions.
@@anumol3324your father needs to check his history big time
@@anumol3324 And my father said black people look like monkeys. Our parents aren't always right, they too can have shitty mindset that needs to be changed. If you are an adult, you need to use your own brain, not your father's.
As an Indian, I have never felt more overjoyed and emotional seeing a Say Yes to the Dress video. Seeing these beautiful ladies surrounded by their loved ones, wearing beautiful cultural garments really struck me and I don't know if I have ever seen that type of Indian joy showcased within western media. I can't wait to experience that for myself when I eventually get married :')
Honestly, so many of here in the US, love how beautiful Indian weddings can be. The joy of culture, colors, and over excitement for the couple is just so amazing to witness. If in the past anyone made you feel anything less then for being Indian. I apologize on their behalf, the Indian culture is so beautiful, and everyone who is from there should feel honored
@@jacquelinelugo5518 this comment is so sweet, tysm 😭💖
I'm inordinately proud that our Indian version is relatively fuss-free. I like how we trust our families to do the best for us. For most of us, family is important, whether we get along all the time or not. And it's really nice to see young women not being a brat with their parents for once.
Something really cool to note is the awesome diversity of religious and cultural groups shown in the Indian version.
The first bride is Parsi, an ethnoreligion predominantly based in Maharashtra. They wear white in their wedding ceremonies in accordance to Zoroastrian tradition.
The second bride seems to be Hindu or Punjabi, and these groups have red wedding dresses traditionally (many brides are incorporating more colors now with a shift toward pastels and lighter shades, especially in celebrity weddings). These religions tend to avoid white clothes at weddings because white is worn at funerals in these groups, sort of like black in the West (edit: this also varies by different regions where green, white, or other colors are popular for weddings- learn more in the replies below!).
The last bride is possibly Christian, the third most predominant religion in India. Indian Christian brides tend to wear white to weddings traditionally, similar to western Christian brides.
When most people think about wedding dresses in India, they tend to think of red lehengas, but I am so glad to see the Indian Say Yes to the Dress franchise highlight Indian brides from various groups and traditions across India.
One thing you should also mention is the variation of color in Hindu weddings. Yes, red is a dominant color in many Hindu cultures of the north. But in places like Gujarat, you have white in the dress and sometimes even a bit of green. Same with south indian hindu brides. It is not just red. So to say that red is a traditional wedding color is a bit of north Indian perception.
Thank you so much for prividing this info! It's so interesting the see different gowns for different religions in one city!
@@zanishani2217 thank you for adding this. In many communities in South India, a white/off-white silk saree with red or green border is the traditional dress for muhurtam. (the main wedding ceremony) In kanjeevaram, one can see walls full of white muhurtam sarees.
This comment needs more upvotes
thats fascinating, genuine question: does it not clash with the white worn for funerals? here you avoid wearing white for weddings because of its association with funerals or is white not worn for funerals in south india?@@vm6366
As an Indian, I think I can explain a bit on why you get mixed messages for the ‘modesty’ aspect. Saris and lehengas have a built in midriff section so that isn’t considered that sexual. It is just part of the dress. Typically they also can have a very deep back for the blouse and that isn’t all that scandalous either. But a deep cleavage can be too much. Ironic bc in the past there were groups where they didn’t even wear a blouse and it was only after British colonisation that Victorian era idea ‘sensibilities’ dictated that people wear blouses.
Also the family mentioned that they are parsi which is a religious minority which followed zorostrianism and fled from iran a couple hundred years ago. Just thought it was a fun fact people usually don’t know.
Yeah to me showing stomach or back isn't provocative or sexual but cleavage is because you know boobss are heavily tied to sexuality but stomach and back aren't sexual and hence not immodest.
Once again I believe this perspective can vary among communities/states in India. Some consider exposing skin as obscenity.
@@arundathirose7563and legs or shoulders in half pants shorts and off shoulder dresses??? The aunties consider that things like it will be enough to give all the boys in a 3 mile radius their orgosm
Correction! Not a couple of hundred... 1500 years back!
I’m just here to “Oooh” and “Ahh” at pretty dresses
same girl same
same
😂, you are welcome.
The first mother of the bride is gorgeous! Also the bride looks beautiful in the third dress.
Yessss! I was like - she looks like her sister! Absolutely gorgeous mom! And other ladies too, especially third lady ❤️
It’s honestly really common in all of Asian for us to look younger than our age. My mother is 51 and she looks barely 40. I think that goes for many dark skinned women as well.
@@avannya7848 yes, i’m always in awe of the Asian women - it’s the genes! 😍
Luke, you were correct the first time. It is supposed to be LE-HE-NGA. The woman just seems to have an American accent.
i feel like she's just punjabi actually
The mother said they're Parsi, live in Mumbai so unless she grew up with Punjabi in the house or in Punjab, she definitely has an American accent in her Hindi hahah
@@hwasassidechick not talking about the parsi woman
@@venne8936 ahh yeah I probably remembered the wrong person lol, but yeah you're right, punjabi people do say lehenga like that. (also is that taehyun? omg taste ✨)
@@hwasassidechick she is talking about the second bride.. and yes, Luke pronounced it correctly
There is a Christian community in India, so for the 3rd bride 'traditional' actually did mean something along the lines of the classic white wedding dress as it exists in 'Christian' countries, aka Western Europe, the US etc. In this episode 'traditional' is not based on styles evolved from the classic garb of either the Hindu community (the vast majority of the Indian population) nor that of the Muslim community (whose traditional silhouettes, incidentally, are those most often referenced in movies and bridal wear when imagining the most regal or romantic inspirations. Think Scarlett in Gone With the Wind as one of the most iconic images of over the top 'romance' in the West).
This version from India is wayyyyyy better than any US/UK version. Like MILES apart. I need 👏🏼more 👏🏼 episodes! 👏🏼
The first bride is a Parsi bride.
They are descended from Persians who migrated to Medieval India during and after the Arab conquest of the Persian Empire (part of the early Muslim conquests) in order to preserve their Zoroastrian identity. The word Parsi is derived from the Persian language, and literally translates to Persian (پارسی, Pārsi)
Marriage is very important to the members of the Parsi community, believing that in order to continue the expansion of God's kingdom they must procreate. Up until the mid-19th century child marriages were common even though the idea of child marriage was not part of the religious doctrine.
Consequently, when social reform started happening in India, the Parsi community discontinued the practice. There are, however, rising problems over the availability of brides. More and more women in the Parsi community are becoming well educated and are therefore either delaying marriage or not partaking at all. Women within the Parsi community in India are ninety-seven percent literate; forty-two percent have completed high school or college and twenty-nine percent have an occupation in which they earn a substantial amount of money. The wedding ceremony begins much like the initiation with a cleansing bath.
The bride and groom then travel to the wedding in florally decorated cars. The priests from both families facilitate the wedding. The couple begin by facing one another with a sheet to block their view of each another.
Wool is passed over the two seven times to bind them together. The two are then supposed to throw rice to their partner symbolizing dominance.
The religious element comes in next when the two sit side by side to face the priest. Something that is also typical of Iranian weddings (Sofreh Aghd) still today!
Thank you for sharing this!
Thankyou so much for providing more context for the cultural aspects of the first bride ❤
U missed the part where Parsis r discouraged from marrying outside the community and as a result consanguineous marriage is very common: marriage between cross cousins or parallel cousins
@@spilltea4241 I can't write a thesis. As an Iranian I am aware that there is so much more to be said about Parsis! The issue with marrying inside of a community is both common is all ethnic communities and now a passe issue for the Parsis.
who cares ?
I'm a Brit who grew up in the US who married into an Indian family and chose to wear a red Lehenga Choli and get married where I grew up (first time anyone there had ever seen a wedding like it). I loved my dress and so happy to be able to get one made in India for me versus getting a 'traditional' white dress. Indian wedding dresses are stunning!
Aww that's so cute!!! I am the exact opposite of you. I got married in India to my Catholic Indian husband and my mom brought my dream traditional white wedding dress we bought in the US to India. I had the option to wear a sari but never imagined myself like that so I went with the traditional US dress which are also common sometimes for Catholic Tamil brides and my husband and in-laws loved it lol It was my dream dress. I love the red lehengas but they are not part of either my husband or I's culture since we are Catholics and he is South Indian. But I like to see the North Indian women wear them. I am sure you looked stunning!
@@princessraj5921its totally fine
but do try sari ....it's a cultural thing in south too... Christian muslim ? Doesnt matter.
Sari is not a hindu dress...it is an Indian dress 😄
Luke, tbh the Indian families who are on the show are affluent families who wouldn't mind a bodycon, sillhoute showing lehenga or saree. I'm not sure about the US and UK shows - if we're talking same levels of social affluence and upper middle class status or not. Regardless of that, I'm happy to see you reacting to the Indian version.
The US version features a lot of wealthy/ upper class brides and families. They do occasionally have middle class brides that have saved up.
This right here. All of these families featured were very solidly upper class, the 0.1% at the very least, especially judging by the way their mothers were dressed. Average households would never have ladies in their 50s or 60s dressed up in Western wear. Hence why they’re a lot more liberal and accepting of the bride’s choices. Cool to see an Indian version and not surprised that these are all out of Mumbai. I wonder if they’d do a version with other metros… it’d be a vastly different experience.
Consultant visiting their homes for the first consultation is indicative of their position on the social ladder.
@@feralkat9370I think that's an Indian thing in general & not just a "wealthy family" thing. House consultations are pretty normal over here.
Naah it is quite common for indian wedding. All women in my familu always have similar dresses and blouses which would be considered revealing 50yrs ago and my family is middle class. And almost every wedding i am have been too have “bodycon” sort of dresses and it is not just affluent families. India is way more accepting then people perceived.
Recipe for SYTTD franchise:
- diverse, beautiful brides
- way too overly-opinionated family members
- talented but cheeky and snarky gay bridal consultant
Boom. Done! 👌🏼
if it works it works!
i feel indian weddings have been outdoing american weddings/dresses since before america even existed 😭
As an Indian I am totally agree with you.... Indian weddings are whole on different level.
Add middle Eastern weddings too. Sheesh. Extravaganzas
As Indian I confirm Indian weddings r way to extravagant, glittering as lavish...
The way student loans are in america is exactly like the wedding loans in India.
Wow! That makes sense though as I've heard weddings are large and span many days and events.
You're not wrong but that's such a hilarious comparison to me lol
Yep that's why I'm having a small wedding with close family members and friends. Basically a court wedding then party night with the few people that we invited. Saves so much money and my extended family is also supportive of the idea.
Most parents start a Wedding Savings Plan/Investment as soon as the baby is born, so not too much of a problem, as they know for sure their child will have to get married one day.
No comparison as Indian wedding expenses are spread over several hundred guests and can be adjusted while student loans are incurred for just ONE person Lol
That red & silver lehenga outfit is Oscar red carpet level - very classy and sexy.
An explanation on the White wedding dress vs the other coloured ones. It all depends on the religion actually. The christians go for the typical western wedding gown, the Hindu's go for a Lehenga or a Saree and the Muslims go for Lehenga styles too but there's often a subtle difference in the way they are crafted. The wedding rites are all different too, and they differ by region as well. A South Indian wedding requires the outfit to a silk saree in most cases.
I'm from Kerala. Here Hindu brides use gown instead of lehenga. Here lehenga is just like a bra and skirt
@@anumol3324 I am from Kerala too and a Hindu. Hindu brides in Kerala wear saree and lehanga at reception. I have seen gown in some Muslim and Christian wedding only.
My grandpa was a Telugu descent, but his family(my family) settled in Central India a long ago and married local women. I align myself more with North India. I was amazed to know in South Indian weddings they do not have the 7 Pheras. I was really in shock. No fire is used in their wedding. Especially Telugu weddings.
Its okay maybe Its you family 's perception but that wrong lehenga is not a bra in that way to sarees also a bra and long peice of cloth so you can't categorise whole india or even a state @@anumol3324
That is not true the phera are there in South India depends on region.And fire is not must if in a temple.@@mercedesbenz3751
As an Indian can we appreciate how he was so sweet in the way he reacted to the Indian version? This is so nice ❤
Parsi here! Traditional Indian Parsi weddings have the brides wearing a white Chantilly lace sari. These days brides choose different colours for their saris-ranging from cream to lavender to pink. I loved the modern twist with the lehenga and the veil. Parsi brides also wear a sudreh and kusti (sacred undershirt and girdle) as part of the outfit (a wedding sudreh is usually made of lace!).
I'm so so excited, the thousands of years of textile traditions native to India, AND the ones they've adapted and changed from every invading army they've inevitably absorbed (coolest way to deal with them tbh) is just so so worth waiting through the sponsorship section 💜
Indian fashion always has been utterly spectacular imo. Stunning details and body proportions with their clothing. They're just *chefs kiss*
The third family is most likely christian and having a christian wedding, that's why going with the white wedding dress.
Now I understand the white dress…😊
That fits with her mother's Portugese name.
@@fikanera838 yea they're most likely from Goa which was colonised by the Portugese for a while !
Yeah there's no way any hindus will wear a white dress in marriage.
Dsouza (and her cousin's Fernandes) is an Indian last name with Portuguese origin (in pt: de Sousa), so I assume that they have Goan and catholic or christian roots, which would explain why they're interested in a traditionally western wedding gown.
As an American, white wedding dresses are often very boring to me. Love the beautiful colors in Indian fashion. So excited to see this!
We honestly got robbed due to colonization. Imagine how beautiful our weddings would be, if our ancestry wasn't erased for us. I'm from the Caribbean and would have loved to see what our weddings would have looked like 😢
Indian Christians wear white wedding dress tbh
@thisnthat7760 But even then the designs are so amazing and love to the culture
@@jacquelinelugo5518 The Caribbean are mixed groups of people, so no ancestry was robbed from us, the colonization and the intermarriage is what made us who we are, and since we are all mixed, we have the right to claim the cultures of those we are mixed with.
Indians do wear white on their wedding. Christians and even people from South I guess wear white and that's beautiful as well.
Seeing Luke so happy is infectious. Ohhh, yes!!! These brides are beautiful!!!
Seeing Luke obsessing over indian embroidery, cultural and cloths is giving me life!!
I think I speak for all of us when I say we NEED more reactions to India’s Say Yes to the Dress cause oh my goodness I’ve never smiled this much looking at brides choosing their wedding gowns like AHHHH!!!🥹🥹 I’m so happy they felt as beautiful as they seem💕
KEEP THINKING, BUT SPEAK JUST FOR YOURSELF.
Oh awesome!! I'm an Aussie with Indian heritage and wore my mum's wedding sari when I got married. I was an old (er) 😂 bride and the sari was about 60 years old. After so many decades, the material was still in stunning condition. Oh, and white is often worn by widows, at least my Indian aunties always wore white saris. ❤
Honestly I’d pick my Indian lehengas over any Dior ballgown. I never feel more beautiful than I do in a sari or a lehenga :)
The thing that I loved about this video is he actually paused and googled every term or person's name that was said in the wedding video unlike some people who don't and guess around while continuing to watch the video with their assumptions. It's so simple, you have all the time to record and edit so why not just make the video informative instead.
Anyway, end of my rant. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to know about indian culture luke! ❤ Want more of these definitely
I always say this!!! Like you're already on the internet, you might as well look it up!
You're right, this blows the US/UK versions out of the water. The dresses are beyond stunning, and the atmosphere just feels so warm! The host too is so charming! I want to inject this into my veins.
omg even just the VIBES ALONE in this SYTTD are soooo much better than the UK/US!! they should be heartwarming like these, not stressful and full of drama!
I love Indian Say Yes To The Dress! The clothes are amazing, the families are happy, and it's all so classy. More please! 💖
The Red one...I gasped LOUD....OMG PERFECTION, and honestly? There's not an ugly one in the entire episode
Luke, seeing you so giddy and honestly exuberant and obviously respectful of the craft in these garments as well as the show gave me the biggest smile…still can’t stop smiling. Thanks for sharing your energy, growing knowledge and enthusiasm ~ made my day!
I love seeing hype for traditional Indian clothes, they are next level. India has historically always been know for our textiles and have created so much that has been adopted worldwide!
My friend just got married and her Indian bridal gown was gorgeous♥️
You should watch Nazranah Diaries - amazing Indian wedding garb - not just the brides but also the groom attire is featured.
As someone who's been following you for over a year and an Indian, your reactions were so heartwarming to watch, Luke 😭 Please continue this series 🫶
I cannot tell you how happy this makes my little Indian heart!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
Indian wedding fashion is craazyyy! They are the events where we actually celebrate fashion- plan so many different outfits for different functions. It feels like a red carpet event with every colour on it! 🎉❤
If this is a hint of Say Yes to the Dress India, I’m saying YES! It was lovely, it was all lovely. Loved it and seeing Luke SO HAPPY made me happy!
The "scarf" is called a dupatta. It's rarely if ever attached so that it can be draped in whatever way the wearer wants. They used to be pulled up over the head for modesty, but now they are just there as a classic piece of the typical Indian ensemble. "Lehenga" means skirt, but it's also used to refer to the entire outfit that includes the skirt and top, typically also with a dupatta.
The dresses are pretty but Say Yes to th Dress India is very much a rich Indian people show. They never talk budgets (because it is not something we talk about in India). As an Indian viewer, I enjoy the budgetary constraints and drama in the western iterations of the show and the more diverse range of brides.
You can easily find these dresses and way more current dresses in chandi chowk delhi at cheaper rates .
Because this one is so scripted
I agree, I LOVE Indian wedding dresses! India has the best textiles ❤❤
American weddings are basically Indian family get together level Lunches.
If One Attends Indian wedding he will remember for rest of his Life.
I love this so so much! I’m South Indian (from the iyer tradition) so if I were to have a traditional wedding, I wouldn’t be wearing these kinds of outfits (likely Mysore or kanchipuram silk 9 yards)… although being Indian American, I grew up amongst so many Indian traditions. It’s amazing to see the diversity in dresses in Indian weddings and I would love it if you could react to South Indian wedding styles- we have VERY different styles and drapes (and the blouse style is often what gives it away!)- South Indian sarees are really about the weaving details (including gold threads and many designs in silk and cotton) and I always love looking at them in contrast to what I would call the va va voom fabulousness of lehengas, gaghra cholis, and more!
I love how respectful you are of Indian customs and you never once let the "culture" colour your views.
Lenga & lehenga are both correct :)
Dupatta is the veil/stole
Sari for weddings is more common in southern India than north, and we typically have so many parties and ceremonies pre-wedding that we have no lack of beautiful dresses to wear 😊
Those of us who marry into another religion or culture have both families' customs in the wedding and sometimes 2 wedding ceremonies 😅
Most of our wedding dresses are custom made and can range from a few thousands to many tens of thousands of rupees 😊
We Indians are usually very close with our mums and won't wear something they hate. If mummy/grandma hates it, it (usually) doesn't happen. That's why you don't have tears and recriminations. But I'm so amazed that this version is sooo drama free.
I really like the man who runs the show, he is all about the bride, happy, encouraging brilliant x
I have NEVER seen you so happy about ANYTHING, EVER!!! It's such a good look on you - PLEASE do more where you love, love, LOVE things!!!❤❤❤
Om,THE CULTURAL APPRECIATION I HAVE FOR THE 🇮🇳 CULTURE AND FASHIONS IS BEYOND WORDS!!!! THEIR WEDDING ATTIRES IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF CLASS, RESPECT, AND BEAUTY!!!
Saris are absolutely pinned lol...all the safety pins to keep it from unwrapping XD
@hautelamode
Hey Luke, some fun facts for ya -
- Shilpa Shetty is also famous in the West cuz she blew up on an early season of Big Brother UK, where some of the contestants were racist towards her and most of UK stood up to defend Shilpa. Even Richard Gere stood up for her (but gave her an infamous kiss at the end of his speech). It's all on YT.
- the first family is Parsi (that's why they keep saying "Parsi wedding"), a community that ancestrally hails from Persia/Iran and mostly practices Zohorastrianism as their religion. Freddie Mercury of rock band Queen was also Parsi from Mumbai.
- the third family's last name is D'Souza which is a Portugese- derived name, so they are ancestrally from one of India's Portuguese colonies (like Goa or along the southwest "Konkan" coast). Not all of India was part of the British empire. This community is 50% Roman Catholic hence the white wedding. There are other communities throughout India that are Protestant, or even Syrian Catholic, and their wedding traditions may be a mix of Indian and Christian traditions. One of Jesus' 12 disciples spent his final years in South India and is buried there. India also has several Jewish communities, many flavors of Islam, several branches of Buddhism, and some cities even have Chinatowns like you see in the US.
- In general, think of India as more like Europe than America. Like Europe, India is a mix of languages, religions, cultures, and traditions, representing both the indigenous and the various conquerors, that vary by region and over time.
- all of these families are wealthy by Indian standards, whereas SYTDD US tends to be lower middle class(?).
- Until maybe 5 years ago, Bridal Couture IS India's Haute Couture. What you wear at your wedding or to a family/close-friends wedding are probably the nicest clothes/accessories/jewelry you own and the most expensive clothes you will buy.
- SYTTD India could do episodes in the US , Canada, or the UK, which have large Indian diaspora. And SYTTD US/UK could do Indian wedding outfits too for the diaspora.
- Finally, I suggest check out "Made in Heaven" on Amazon Prime Video. It's a fictional series about wealthy Indian wedding planners, and each episode they focus on a different wedding. The format is similar to Fantasy Island or Love Boat. It would fun to have you analyze the wedding outfits as well as the wedding planners' own couture. You can watch it in English, you don't need subtitles.
So sorry that was sooo long!
This is definitely my favourite version of the show. The textiles are so gorgeous!
I have always loved the Indian aesthetic & the fabrics & the jewellery & the food!! I loved the pink & purple dress, but the one she settled on was stunning!! And the Red dress & the blush! Watching Luke watching this video made me so happy 😀
BABE LOVE THIS❤❤ but fyi india has like a lot of religions hindu, sikh, muslim, parsi, christians, tamil, and many more. all of them have different clothes they wear when getting married in terms of colour, style and fit. Also every occasion has a different vibe to it like sangeet, haldi, shaadi(hindu ceremonies, it’s different for other religions). the last bride probably is christian and gonna have christian wedding in the church that’s why she is wearing white which is not a common colour for a hindu wedding. I am so happy for this version of yes to dress. India has such amazing designers and we go all out on weddings this is like a recipe for success!!!! ❤🎉
Tamil isn't a religion tf are you on
@@Whois_serene LoL
@@hey_you. ?
I love how they give such interesting answers and they really have meaning. The dresses are incredible too! Yes to this series!!!
Luke, you are the best! Love your checking on cultural pronounciations, traditions, phrases in real time!
I love how Luke is SO excited about this show. I’m here for it! Thank you for sharing this fun new show with us!!
YESS! the wedding jewelry is always gorgeous as well as the outfits
I’m sorry, but some of the image references that Luke put up for the Lehenga and Sarees is giving me Padma and Parvati vibes from Harry Porter 😭😭
I feel like when Westerners think of Indianwear that’s the first image that pops up.
I know whenever we watch our representation in movies or tv series they either go muted colours or too loud. Never depicting the ground reality. We have such an extensive & amazing history with textiles, embroidery, design.
Oh my God this was so much fun! I cannot wait to see you react to more of Indian outfits in general, but definitely more to the Indian say yes to the dress 🫶🏼🫶🏼💖💖
I love when you love the fashion! And yes please, we need more of this, the color, style, and culture is so beautiful and vibrant!
Given the last names of the third party (D'Souza and Fernandes), their ancestors might come from Goa, which was a state settled by the Portuguese and was the last state to become part of India. I don't know if they are Catholic, but Goa has extant churches remaining from its colonial history, hence the inability of that first dress to fit down the aisle. And, yeah, Mr. Boiler suit Guy - Hotty.
You are right!
Omg this was so good! Your joy was also very contagious. Would love to see a part 2 of this
I love this because you're totally right- there's just so much color and diversity when it comes to looks, and as someone who loves color this is definitely enjoyable!
There’s a big difference in things we’re allowed to show hahaha. Cleavage showing on your wedding and legs is a bit much. On the other hand your back, shoulders and torso is ok to show! It seems different countries have different standards. My Korean friends family lose some years of their life when she wears crop tops but don’t bat an eye when she’s wearing the minniest mini skirt ever!😂 but it’s so interesting to see a non desi react to this haha like the purple lehnga with a deeper cleavage did look like a guest lehnga vs bridal!
Loved, loved, loved this!! These dresses are STUNNING!
I've never seen Luke so excited for a wedding dress. Incredible show, the bridal wear was all so unique and gorgeous and wonderful. More reactions to this please.
I absolutely adore the culture and fashion we are seeing here on India say yes to the dress. All the garments were stunning and had beautiful craftsmanship. What I found refreshing about this compared to the US and UK one they didn’t need any drama in the episodes to make it entertaining and fun and that is so refreshing to see from a reality tv
We need more videos like this. As an Indian who watches your videos from years. I really really enjoyed this one. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for appreciating our culture.
The red fit on the second bride is EVERYTHING!!! ❤❤
I agree about the gold and black dress it looked more like a costume for a dinner show
that first piece that gets tried on, like the beaded white lace one, is so beautiful oh my goddd
This is so great! Love the Indian version.
Well, this reminds me of my wedding look. Being a bengali bride, i needed to find the perfect benarasi saree which would go with my bright wheaty skin tone. After visiting some century-old stores, I finally found the one that belonged to me... a bright firey red pure silk benarasi with gold zari ( threadeork) with minakari. It had rajasthani work all over the aanchal and paar. With it was a crystal embellished net dupatta. It matched well with my gold tiara and the other gold jewellery I wore for the days. I spent a fortune on that saree. It needs polishing every year and is saved for some auspicious occasions.
I had a peacock blue and magenta gold katan benarasi for the reception with traditional gold kundan sets. But that's another story.
Is the dress used in the wedding usually wear after it?
@@poliesther777Nope. I've never seen anyone wear their wedding dress besides the day of their wedding.
@@AB-ip2ct aaah, thank you for answering. I misunderstood because she said she saves the saree for some important occasion so I thought maybe it's used after the wedding too.
Thank you ❤️
@@poliesther777some do wear in family wedding functions or some other important occasions

Never thought a bridal show would make me emotional!! Wao!! And together with you heartfelt reactions, made it all the better. Loved it!!😍😍😍😍😍
Yay!!! I love this episode! I adore your commentary! I’m saying YES to this theme!
Awww , I love how respective and sweet you were , also I love that you’ve done your research regarding Indian wear
as an Indian this has me SO excited!!! I've been watching u for so long Luke! You're the best
Loving the colorful dresses ❤
Luke we need more of this franchise
OMG the red dress
And the last bride looks like an angel. Yes the mon is very sassy, love her
Im so excited youre doing this series! A college friend of mine was a bride on the show!! I can't wait to see what you think!!
I LOVE this!!! I have been to India and the fabrics are some of the most beautiful in the world ( also some of the most beautiful PEOPLE I’ve ever seen) especially in person. I attended a wedding there once too and W 😍W Please Luke - we need analysis on each episode!
I appreciate all the definitions! I respect the desire to learn and teach at the same time.
I am sooo happy to see this. I’ve always been very into weddings and especially wedding fashion, but mostly focused on the western side of it. It wasn’t until I starting dating my boyfriend who is from Kolkata that he started to share more Indian wedding fashion and tradition with me. I am so obsessed with the amount of variety the fashion has. Our western dresses feel so restricted and monotonous is comparison sometimes.
I love this, love this show I didn't know exists until this... and I love you! The JOY... and a tiny little lovely snark... chef's kiss, perfect, no notes, love you, can't wait to see more!
The red one was crazy gorgeous omg
As an SLP, I have worked with a lot of immigrant families from the Indian geological area and I always vibe so well with them lol (coming from a half Japanese, half Swedish background). I love how the first bride's mom knew what she was talking about with suggesting the veil lol my mom did the same with my dress. Moms know (as much as we don't want to admit hahaha). Brb gonna binge this.
omg im so excited this is gonna be amazing
this was such a fun video, i hope you keep reacting to more of them !! ❤
I'm invited to a Gujarati wedding next year and can't wait! I'm already researching what I can wear as a guest.
You can wear lehenga choli, saree if you want to go traditional route or if you aren’t comfortable wear western modest clothing that works too. Generally everyone is very accommodating. And the food is delicious and overall Indian marriages are very fun
Oh my god!!! Yes I have been a subscriber for a looong time!! And always wanted you to get to Indian fashion..I am so overwhelmed!! Finally you’ll see the fabrics!the embroidery! The style! Luxury like never before in Indian fashion! Thank you so much Luke!!
