- You are cordially invited to the wedding dress episode of “Around the World.” Great Big Story senior producer Beryl Shereshewsky talks to seven dressmakers in seven countries to learn about the special dresses they make for brides in their communities. The craftsmanship, tradition and love that goes into these gorgeous creations is truly amazing. Among the dresses featured: an elaborately beaded Native American southern Cheyenne buckskin dress from Oklahoma; a kente dress handwoven in red, yellow and green, the national colors of Ghana; and in Sweden, a traditional black taffeta folk wedding dress known as a vanga dress.

This story is a part of our Human Condition series. Come along and let us connect you to some of the most peculiar, stirring, extraordinary, and distinctive people in the world.
The Indonesian woman wearing that headpiece AND walking in sky high heels? Iconic.
For 8 hours for sure...
Its Minangkabau tribe, Indonesia has so many tribe, balinese, sundanese, javanese, papua etc
In this video, the headpiece is the more simple type. But traditionally, it doesn't come in one piece. Each ornament is stuck one by one to hair bun and it's much heavier. Iconic indeed
@@queenalisha8907 yep, about 1340 tribes
It can weigh up to 3 kg - 5 kg depends on the material used 😀
The fact is that, whatever may be the culture, the wedding dresses are the most beautiful ones.
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die".
BUT, mercy said "I dont want to give them what they deserve. I don't want them to be cut off from Me. I love them despite all they have done/will do against Me. I want to give My children another chance. I want them to come home and live in My love again".
And love said "Jesus, God's Son, came down as a Man, our representative, suffering every temptation, pain and struggle we have ever faced, yet without sin. He took all our sins (past/present/ even future) to the cross and then crucified EVERY ONE on our behalf. Justice was paid on the cross so that we can be free from Hell's punishment, experience Gods mercy of forgiveness of sin and live in His love. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (turn away from our sin and pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to obey His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, or struggling or doubtful, simply be honest and tell Him that. He is not intimidated by ANY sin or struggle you are facing. ANY. He hears and will answer. If we pray for Him to come in, regardless of the condition, then He will.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER.

That’s so beautiful
Beautiful, thank you for sharing!
My favorite dress 😍
Unfortunately, this sample of white western dresses were ugly. 🤮
Let's be honest here, no matter what culture the wedding dress is from, it's always so beautiful 😭😭

Right!!!!😭✨they were all full of culture and just super gorgeous💖
Why is nobody talking about the Indonesian dress? She looks like a QUEEN

It's minang tradional wedding dress, and if the real traditional one the crown is really heavy, that around 4-8 kg or maybe more
exactly
My mother wear that on her wedding, only hers is yellow.

I’m Native American and I’m so happy that my culture was being represented
@its_yo_ dadnot every American but quite a few, and probably because American Natives are an wonderful culture, I mean who wouldn't want to be part of them?
@its_yo_ dad actually we natives should be very proud we come from a beautiful culture who wouldn't want to say they are native
Good for you
Same!
@its_yo_ dad dead give away is when they claim cherokee.. even better is when grandma is a "cherokee princess" lol.
I'm so glad they chose the indigenous community for the United States! Talk about true representation 👌👌
So glad they did not choose person in a half naked wedding dress to represent the US.
Okay, hold up. The dress was gorgeous. Why do you think it looks like the wearer is half-naked? It covers more than the traditional ‘Western’ wedding dress (English in this video), and is far more unique to boot.
@@avocet4874 no the person said glad they didn't choose the half naked look. Aka white people one in the us
Omg cringe 😂 it's so funny how little people know about who was here first. There's been evidence that the Chinese may have been the first to discover America not the natives.
@@SarahSoLovelyXo Its thought that people from Asia were in the Americas over 20,000+ years ago. Further more there is a drastic different between Chinese culture and the Indigenous native culture of people from the Northern American continents. It makes total sense that they chose Indigenous culture that has been recorded in the history of North America for many years over people from China. The Indigenous culture and ethnic groups are in their own culture and they shouldn't be considered to be a part of a countries culture that is hundreds of miles away
The Indian wedding dress shown here is wayyyyyyyyy to underrated like no one wears this kind of light lehenga we wear mosty traditional red heavy lehengas 😂😂

Yeah true I felt they hide the real beauty of Indian wedding dresses
I have Indian parents, and you're right!! The dresses are really heavy with lots of embroidery and stuff
There's gotta be someone out there who has a collection of every wedding dress from every country.
Yes your mom

Yep, it's your mom and have many husband and your mom didn't noticed how many husband your mom have
(It's a joke ok, so hopefully I don't get a woosh)

Idk but when Kenneth said the colors represent the different ppl in the world, I started crying. Native American culture deserves a 100× more respect and representation than it gets in America.
that’s never gonna happen as long as america (turtle island) belongs to white people. #LANDBACK
@@hammydammy123 amen sis
The first thing I thought was the dress isnt authentic. It is great that he is inclusive in his design....BUT, if you think about when the tribes lived on the plains they would have known nothing of the yellow or black races. Only brown or as they were.
@@robinhokenson4118 that's actually an inaccurate statement. If you look into the oral traditions of many different tribes, they talk about other people that aren't like them.
Also, all Native American tribes have their own cultures. I'm Navajo and my culture is different than Hopi or Pueblo culture even though we're from the same region.
I think all the native cultures are beautiful. And you and your ancestors deserve more than what you were and are being given.
Each dress really represented the cultures, and showed the people’s beauty. Love to the countries 🇮🇩 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇹🇳 🇮🇳 🇬🇭 🇸🇪
I agree 🇸🇪
I love what the Ghana dressmaker said about marriage representing dignity.
It’s the truth. You honor each other and show the world this is my partner we are one mind and body. It’s so beautiful to see a strong couple together in this world.

As someone who loves European folk costume styles, I wish they would be brought back into present wedding attire. They're all so diverse and beautiful... especially those from Russia.
I don't know. I would love something very modern. My culture has no traditional wedding dress (you just wore whatever you would wear to church and whatever was nicest). I just wouldn't want it to be white, since that is a bit boring. Give me pastels. Maybe even that hologram type of fabric. Something no one has ever worn, but make it look great.
I'm glad you chose England as the country to represent a white dress because the tradition of wearing a white dress on your wedding day started in England when Queen Victoria wore white to her wedding
Yeah it’s really nice to see! I believe it’s white to represent purity too
@@livw3090 That's the generally accepted reason, but for many people well into the 20th century, white was the most expensive fabric to make and a wedding day was a woman's last "hurrah" in many cultures, hence why they go all-out. Most average people got married in whatever their nicest clothes were until the last few decades. That's why lots of old wedding photos don't show a white dress - too expensive.
Yeah she ruined western wedding dresses for life, they use to be colourful 🤣
@@GillianKH White wedding dresses are just as beautiful. It's more about the tradition and symbolism rather than visuals for me.
@@livw3090 in the 18th, 19th, 20th centuries (when they had wedding dresses specifically for the wedding) it also represented joy and happiness, too.
If you cover Indonesia alone, we have probably a thousand traditional wedding dresses XD

Ummmm you mean Native Americans?
All these dresses are very different, but there are two things they ALL have in common 1) They are SO beautiful and 2) They are made with so much care and pride! These artists put so much hard work into every detail to make every dress perfect and something the bride will feel like an absolute queen in.
The Indonesian wedding dress is gorgeous especially the gold head piece.
The Sweden dress reminds me of the "Queen of Hearts" from Alice in Wonderland.

Damn I’m Northern Cheyenne with no intention of getting married but after seeing that buckskin dress I’m having second thoughts.
Buy the wedding dress and don't get married, used that as a display.
the dress was so prettyy
Isabella Lone Elk the right man with the right family. Also money.
I’m sure there are other times a traditional dress would be worn. Maybe you could order one for something else.

I am an american female and went to Japan to marry my Japanese boyfriend. I had never seen a Japanese wedding, and ours was VERY traditional. I wore the big wig, white face, and huge Kimono. It was spectacular and frightening at the same time. I was alone, no family or friends, and still didn't speak the language! What an experience, I think I was too young to really appreciate it. I was only 18 at the time.
Wow we would love to see that 😮
@@NeR012 Sadly I only have two pictures from that wedding left. My second husband had major jealousy issues and threw my entire photo book of the wedding out in the garbage, and all of my first child's photo albums, into the pouring rain!

Kudos to the men and women keeping the traditions of hand-made wedding dresses alive! It gives the dress so much more meaning because you know that a person out there put in their blood, sweat and tears into this piece of art.

Indian wedding dress shown here was so underrated..... No bride will wear such a sober dress. Indian bridal dress is full of embroidery, sequence, semi precious stones, gold and silver thread embroidery...... Heavily embroidered veil, skirt and blouse..... Every thing form head to toe is grand and over the top....... The one showed here was very plain and simple.... And most suited for bride's friends or family members.
Ya u are correct.I was hoping to see a red lehenga with its shine,shimmer and glimmer.
I mean south is pretty simple north is over the top goa is in the centre so a mix of both the cultures
And the word underrated should not be used here u can just say plain underrated has a complete different meaning
Well Im frm Kerala most of us wear the cream and gold saree or a red silk saree. Its mostly simple but it don't matter since no one will see the cloths amongst all the gold jewelry 😎

It is relatively simple, and likely did not cost much to buy or make, but what stunning cloth is woven on it!

As an Indonesian Minangnese woman, they nailed the wedding dress! Overall it's pretty accurate, though it's a little different. We don't usually wear modern high heels like the ones in the video (instead, black/crimson-gold shoes with wide short heels), the fingers are usually painted red with 'pacar' that colors the whole top knuckles (not just the nails), and the dress is generally crimson in most Minang lands.
But this version is also really beautiful :)

Indonesia consists of 34 provinces and each province has its own traditional wedding dresses. As featured in the video, you can see more than one wedding dress from the West Sumatra province alone.

Just like Indonesia, except for the miniatural countries ( like San Marino, Lichtenstein and so on) I guess every country of this planet has its many regions, with many different populations, each one with their own traditional outfits, and customes, so, with many different wedding dresses in the same country... And if someone would try to show them all...it'll take quite some time to succed...( would be a lifetime work, I guess)

I'm hoping you can have your two weddings too!! Good luck ♥️
Whaat
That's crazy!
Kyk orangtuaku haha. Kalo orangtuaku sepertinya emang lama diomongin, tapi akhir2nya ya pake 2 adat
Two weddings are not uncommon when you have different cultures, just like the narrator of the video had. I hope you're able to do it.
That’s so awesome! I wish you all the best!
Thank you for bringing these masters to the worlds attention. They were all amazing.
Thank you for introducing us to all these fabulous cultures and dressmakers. They are all true artist.
I am so proud as an Indigenous persons of Canada 🇨🇦 to see my brother representing our people with such pride and with almost Royal like presence. First Nations and proud!!
Lovely comment, i really enjoyed to see it too! I hope in Canada non-indigeneous people will educate themselves more and support Indigenous people
@@valf156115 they actually started to teach about it since 2018, at least at my school
@@cheerio4000 yeah now Canadian schools start teaching children about the First Nations and the aboriginals around 4th grade? Up until around 10th grade which is the last grade you have to take history/geography.
The dress from India is so delicately glittering and softly feminine, and looks comfortable too! The style reminds me of some old Spanish styles.
Its not comfy, Nepalese person here, and nepal is a similar country like India, and it takes hours to wear the dress. I have seen my mom's dress, itss sooo heavy...
My moms Dress is easily 24 pounds it is red and gold in colour and it is so elaborate
The dress is beautiful but far from comfortable. An Indian bride can barely walk wearing the dress.
@@TomRiddleSimp oh im also partially nepalese, but we don't wear that. we wore boku and honju for the weddings xD
It isn’t comfy
This is just beautiful. The brides all looked so proud and happy!
The bead work and embroidery always blows me away. They are all so beautiful and all the designers have mad skills!
I am a native Irish man and I am getting married to a native American (Cheyenne) girl. I love the culture exchange it's amazing and she's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and my best friend. I love her with all my ♥
Paul B congrats dude
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Congratulations
Happy marriage! 😊
I am Ghanaian, and the bridal wear Ghanaian women go with is the kente cloth sewn into “kaba and sleet” ( kaba - a top designed according to the bride’s preference ; sleet - a long skirt that fits around the hips and thighs) or the kente is sewn into a beautiful gown. Others choose to go very traditional by wrapping the kente cloth around them. There’s lots of gold and jewellery. Traditional beads are also worn on the bride.
What was shown here is an attire most Ghanaian women would rather wear to church.
100% correct. That's what I used to wear to Church
Lol that's what I thought. The dress the women had on would be worn to church not a wedding. Where was the jewelry and gold?
I had a feeling of that too and I'm not Ghanaian. But I have seen Nigerian, Malian and Senegali wedding dress and they were far more sumptuous. That looked like a daily outfit...
This video is a shame and bias 😔
I'm not Ghanaian, but I know forma fact that no wedding dress their looks so simple.
Seeing these all make me happy because wedding dresses are a symbol of love and happiness and seeing people representing who they are through this symbol of love just brings me such joy!
As a person who has learned to sew and create my own clothing out of necessity, I always love seeing photos of all kinds of different clothing, especially gowns, prom gowns, event gowns/dresses, and wedding gowns. These people are very talented, and have their head in the right space. Their bottom line of most importance aspects is the feelings of the bride. They care most that the bride feels beautiful, and comfortable in their creation they make for them. Keeping your head and heart in a good place will flow through you and be detectable in what you are creating. These folks make beautiful gowns. 💜
I love that our Native American people were in this
The Indonesia bride looks like a princess or a goddess! It's beautiful 😍
Dress wedding 34 provinces in Indonesia
th-cam.com/video/bRn2yh-kYAo/w-d-xo.html
All of the gowns had their own beauty - to see the intricate embroidery was fascinating - love and have high honor for the designers who keep the culture alive ♥️♥️♥️♥️
As a male Native American, it was so cool to get others to learn about our traditions on Native American beliefs and practices!
Kenneth Taylor was so modest and his bead work was fantastic!
the Indonesian bride is so pretty!!!! The silhouette of that dress is very graceful and elegant ♥️😍
be ready for overproud indonesian reply
Yes I love the details and accessories.
@@Lawbringer. jeez be nice not all indonesian are overproud
India literally has a different wedding dress for almost every state so Indian wedding dress can’t just be defined by the lehenga choli
Edit- For all the people debating under this comment, I didn’t mean that she should have included each and every wedding dress of all the 24+ states we have in our country but she could have just slightly mentioned that this is ONE OF THE MANY beautiful Indian wedding dresses. Therefore I commented so that the people who might not be aware of our country’s diversity can at least get some idea.
Thank you.
Yepp especially the difference between wedding wear in the north and the south is SOOO different, it's amazing how diverse the culture within one country is :0
She's married to a north Indian so she doesn't know better.
not only india,my country too
@@sh6br6nniamisaadi89 Same can be said about almost any country that has strong regional differences
Not only India, almost every country have subtribe and have different wedding culture
Every culture has so much beauty, makes me appreciate the people more.
What a great presentation, and thank you so much for sharing these. ALL brides are so beautiful.
I like Indian & Indonesian wedding dresses. Love from Philippines. 😍😍😍
Thank you neighbor from Indonesia
@@budisoemantri2303 I have noticed Indian and Indonesian names are so alike, my name is Aditya aswell xD
the Indonesian one shown very alike to old chinese 40 50's
@@adam-cs6qb yes coz Indonesia shares some indian cultures.
@@roms7626 language, it's from Sanskrit, i think cultures between to is pretty much different, even hinduism in bali and india is different
I love the fact that the American one is a real American
Well, white america doesnt realy have culture (??) sorry not sorry
@@microz0258 He's not white..?
@@microz0258 guess thats whats happen when you mix all traditions into 1. They dissapere
@@microz0258 same with afro-American they got no "culture " of theire own since they keep it fron african tradition. Just like the White americans have theire european counterpart :)
Sebastian Lamberth eerrm.. well a large portion of african american is immigrant/first generations so id say they still have their cultures intact some are even still talking eith accents, even those who had lived in america for so long have created their own culture like aave and such
The craftsmanship on those dresses are unbelievable! Truly a work of art on every dress made
All the bride's look amazing, the work that went into them is outstanding.

Thanks
The Swedish dress is giving me some real Queen of Hearts vibes, it's great.
I thought that too! I even looked up if that was how the dress was based.....couldn't find anything.
Wow the native dress is absolutely stunning especially the bead work
Beautiful. Thank you so much..
The Indonesia wedding dresses doesn't stop there..
There is still many wedding dresses from Indonesia from every territory of ours.
From Minangkabau, Papua, Jawa, Kalimatan, and many more.
I'm half Gorontalo n half Minangkabau, proud to be an Indonesian.
if she cover indonesia alone, she would need more than 3 videos lol
Actually it's same in india 😂😂😂
@@aanya5577 good for u 😎👍
@@aanya5577 ikr...its not only the langhas for Indians .There are 24+ states with different diffrent cultures in india
I'm actually disappointed with that Indian designer. He didn't even mention once that in western, south and eastern India people usually wear saaris and not lehengas. Lehengas (the outfit shown in the video) is worn only in north Indian weddings. A great video though!
They did say at the beginning of the segment that he was in Goa. Just like the Indonesian designer only represents one area of their country and the Native American designer only spoke for his tribe 😊
@@katymcdonald5481 But Goa is a part of western India actually where people wear Saaris in the weddings.
Ishita Shitut oh I see, my point was just to say the designers were not representative of an entire nation.
@@katymcdonald5481 I understand. I'm actually not against the fact that he showed lehengas only. I'm just saying that the fact he said that Indian bridal wear revolves around lehenga isn't actually true.
Ishita Shitut I totally came to the comments to say exactly this! If he hadn’t said it revolves around lengha choli’s I would have not have cared. My first thought was most regions have a traditional sari for their weddings. Sometimes the northern centricity bothers me. I’m Bengali, but I get frustrated that South Indian culture isn’t considered more when it come to what is “Indian”.
What a lovely celebratory post of diversity combined with the thread of emotional humanism, may all of the couples find joy and happiness for their families!
Wow this was a fascinating journey around the world. It is so cool to see so many incredible, detailed designs. The beadwork, the weaving.... wow. I am astonished and would be honored with any of these!
That girl wearing the dress from England didn’t look too happy
Probably cause it's so damn expensive 😂
She looked like a Clown
I wouldn't of been happy either lol
That's because it's not a typical British wedding dress, that lady only makes dresses for travellers, mostly Irish Travellers but also Romanies. Those dresses are tacky and overly blinged up for a non gypsy bride. She doesn't look happy as the dress weighs more than she does, the dress maker was the focus in the UK Documentary series 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' every traveller girl wants a bigger and blingier dress than her friends, sisters, cousins etc. The dresses are usually very uncomfortable to wear all day, but still they do it. The more traditional white wedding dress worn in UK and US is not such an old tradition either, Queen Victoria was the first to wear a white wedding gown and before that any colour was used and a wedding dress would not have been designed to wear for one day only, it would be more like 'sunday best' worn on Sundays and special occasions.
@@annamae859 Exactly. Total misrepresentation of the wedding dresses over here. It's a shame the uploader didn't do her research properly.
Y'know, wedding dress from Indonesia is much more various. Even in java island, you have more than one kind of kebaya depend of its culture. West Java, east Java, central java has different kebaya, betawi has different kebaya. Basically, you move to a different province you would meet different wedding dress
The more common wedding dress is kebaya, basically. But I must say, every newly weds couple look gorgeous, no matter what they wear
Edit : i never thought to hit 1k 🙏🏻 thx for the likes 😂 also thanks for anyone who commented on my comment 😂👍🏻
Same thing in India. Lehenga choli is the most common one, but you also have ghagra, and hundreds of styles of saree: Kerala saree does not look anything like maharashtra saree. And then, the many ethnic wedding dresses of the different parts of India
Yeah true, Malay ethnic from Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand and other provinces have a different and crazy designs of weddings dress😂😵
Yeah dude. That wedding dress from Minangkabau had a very heavy head part. My mother said, it weighed maybe 5-10kg
Sure, but they have to pick one and may be there they pick they deemed the most interesting one.
@@bernardsinaga4436 for the first time I saw my mother's friend married in Minangkabau traditional dress, I was surprised 😂 i wearing konde once at Kartini day, its already heavy, but now seeing Minangkabau headdress 😅 my neck feel sore
Each and every one a breathtaking treasure that I'm sure will be passed down with reverence for generations. This video definitely gets saved in my "happy" category when I need to see something to restore my faith in humanity. Thank you so much!
I think all of these wedding dresses were beautiful and unique in their own way! I loved them all! 💕
