She is stunning in black dress. What more beautiful is her mother not against and force her to wear white dress like other mothers

[@The_Moving_finger_writes]

IDK why but the top part of it kinda looked like high class lingerie to me.

[@marwatson7408]

I agree a lot of people may not agree with her choice of dress or color I may not like the color but it is her wedding day 🥰👰❤️💐 and if it makes her happy and her family supports her than that’s all that matters.

[@alisonfraser8231]

It looks custom made for her. It's not "too" black. The deep v-neck lifts the eye to her beautiful face. You would not put that dress on a plain woman but she can carry it off. I'm not a fan of the dark veils. It looks a little funerary to me. I would prefer a fascinator in the same black and white combo.

[@kellytorebenard653]

This was by far the easiest, most supportive family I’ve come across on this show. From style to color, they wanted nothing but for dress to scream HER & it did just that. I’m so happy for them all.

[@puntkickorton]

Wow that looked stunning what a beautiful looking woman. And an amazing dress 👗

[@rbvp45]

I also loved how they all were so positive about the first dress ("Beautiful!"), but all straight up said no because it was not what she was really looking for. That's Dutch honesty for you :)

[@ivannarubio3971]

In most episodes where a bride comes in wanting a colored (usually black) dress, the entourage or consultants end up pressuring her to give up her vision in favor of a white dress. Here, the bride came in wanting a white dress and ended up falling in love with a colored dress. It was so refreshing to see!

[@luna-p]

Agreed!

[@ladyjustice1474]

I love the dress she chose, it suites her. If I had her figure I'd try on that dress myself. The only tweak I would make, is to ditch the black veil, and choose a black and silver head piece.

[@hlondon2408]

Yes, that was my thought too. She looked beautiful in the dress alone. It really showed off her beautiful figure.

[@mslorry3420]

Absolutely gorgeous dress 💕 yet the vail didn't do the trick. Being black made it look like a old time funeral dress. Definitely needs a different veil!

[@aec9174]

Agreed! The veil made it look like a funeral shroud. A silver headpiece would be perfect.

[@kathe.o.]

Stacy, Or even a black & white veil with silver tierra.

[@elaineschreiman4043]

Right? I thought she looked like a ghost bride when they put the black veil on. Steven Spielberg came to mind.

[@lizlawley6680]

He's not wrong!

[@annamo9354]

I'm German, and in my grandmothers' day and before all women of our family wore black silk or satin dresses. Remember it was also an economical choice. Those dresses were made to be worn afterwards (having a dress made just for one day was something hardly anybody could afford), and it was made so that it could've been let out. Both my grandmothers were eventually buried in their black wedding dress.

[@alexandramachavariani31]

[@eatingcookies]

This family was so sweet. No negative comments about the dress that wasn't right for Joy Ann - just "that's beautiful but not for you," and no controlling from her family about how sexy it was. They wanted to celebrate everything that made her herself. This may have been my favorite bride and family yet.

[@thecurlyhairedg]

So refreshing to see her mama being so supportive. Mama definitely passed the vibe check 😂❤️

[@vb132609]

Randy did an amazing job at this.. At first, he seems so conscious with the extreme preferences, the new region and the culture. But he really figured it out like a true consultant. Would love to see more of Randy's pizzazz on UK version as well.

[@LadySynako]

I have nothing against black wedding dresses (in fact I think that they're such powerful dresses) but I think this is like the first episode where EVERYONE loves the black dress. More often than not, the moms would pitch a HUGE fit about it. But this mom was absolutely ecstatic about. She fell in love with it as well and it's awesome!

[@_kikizaman_]

The moms awesome. I love moms that are supportive of their daughters wedding dress, even if it’s not something they would wear themselves. And that black dress is by far one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen, I would 100% wear it on my wedding day. Perhaps just with a different not all back veil. And with her blonde hair the dress just popped even more.

[@kathe.o.]

[@rueberschaer]

Yes! I was searching the comments to see if anyone else noticed. They didn't try to hard with that one.

[@WiccanRai]

The dress is lovely on her. I'm not too keen on the veil, it makes it look too posh funeral. I think a hairpiece would look nicer, maybe a sparkly band, black flowers. I'm glad the family were so on board with the bride's choice.

[@kerrystone7375]

I absolutely agree. The dress suited her and looks stunning. But the view looked awkward in my opinion. Much better to do her hair up beautiful with maybe flower head piece or even a large black silk rose.

[@theretiredbartender88]

I agree, I feel the veil takes away from the beauty of the dress. It’s covering up what makes it so unique and special. It weighs down the look.

[@SafaiaFureia]

Id make the veil match the dress more. It's too starkly black and needs the white under layer the dress has

[@jennagarrison6476]

a silk black veil😍

[@Mirabel06]

I thought the same. The dress looks beautiful but the veil not so much. It has too much of a funeral vibe and it's not so delicate as the dress.

[@danielangom]

She looks so beautiful and unique 💜 The times are over where brides wear only white or champagne at their wedding and this is great. I wanted one time in my life to look like a princess. I have plus size 26 W and there you don't have so many dresses for... I found my dream dress in purple Satin with a very puffy skirt and much bling bling and decoration in different purple shades, silver and a little bit pink and rose red. I was directly in love with that dress and my poor husband was crying his eyes out and he was the happiest man I ever saw. We had our 15. wedding anniversary in December and every year we celebrate this day to renew our vows 💝💝💝

[@anuradhasri7370]

The mother has such a cool vibe and she really wants her daughter to shine to the fullest

[@ManubibiWalsh]

[@meganl3426]

In most episodes, women come in and say they aren't traditional brides, but leave in traditional dresses. I enjoyed this episode because it was a family looking for a more traditional look and then going wild. Love people like that. True originals. They're not trying to be different, they just go with the flow, and happen to like what they like.

[@pollyannaprinciple5860]

She looked absolutely stunning in that dress. One of the most beautiful dresses I've seen on this show. When they showed the picture of her standing in the stairs wearing her dress, I about fell out. She looked like a queen. I would probably find someone way to wear this dress to other important evens. Can't believe it was within budget.
