The Awful Royal Bride Looks

[@FlexibleFlyer50]

People's style, taste and finances vary. The most beautiful bride I encountered went to a charity thrift store and found a wedding gown, veil and shoes on one of the store's mannequins. The bride was 22 years old, and she decided to try on the outfit because money was tight and her big day was rapidly approaching. The people in the thrift store all waited for her to try on the outfit, and believe me---she emerged from that one dressing room as a vision of loveliness. The dress fit her to a T, the shoes fit, and the veil accentuated her hairstyle and framed her face. No one in the store expected that outfit to fit, but it did. The bride began to cry, and we knew she had found her wedding dress. The dress, veil and shoes were from 1948, and someone had obviously treasured the pieces for years to ensure their survival to 2022. All of us were so moved by the experience that we chipped in to buy her the dress, shoes and veil----$25 for all three pieces. More tears. The bride was alone shopping for a wedding dress, and she told us that her mother died three months before in a car accident. Our hearts went out to her. She walked out of the store with a dress, shoes and veil she was proudly going to wear on her wedding day. You don't need a designer gown, exclusive maker, or pricey bridal boutique to help you find the dress of your dreams. I think her mom was watching over her that day, and I am so glad that I got to witness finding her gown.

[@SharynPrevost]

That is a wonderful story and what a thrill for you and the other shoppers & staff to be there for the bride. Someone else was surely there as well.

[@FlexibleFlyer50]

@@SharynPrevost About 5-6 other women, two store volunteer workers, and one older man. I will never forget the experience, the look on the bride's face when everything fit, and the thrill she experienced when we told her everything was paid for.

[@merlinstwin7373]

What a lovely thing to do for that bride-to-be. Her mother would have been pleased that kind people stepped in and supported her daughter. It's as though the dress, shoes and veil were meant to be there for her. ❤

[@MayYourGodGoWithYou]

I've seen the toile o the dress - it is, or was, on display in a local museum - and it wasn't the fabric, it really did look awful even in the muslin form. And it wasn't really the style of the day either (I grew up then, the same age as her and that style only became popular AFTER she got married) as could be seen by the dresses chosen by Sarah Ferguson and Princess Anne - all married around about the same time - which I thought were lovely and appropriate. Diana's certainly ensured she was the centre of attention as she wanted but not sure it was for the right reasons.

[@ruffraff1059]

Yeah. At risk of abuse. Diana's dress was bloody awful. Suppose it fitted with the Chelsea set at the time. Horrendous hair. Strangest thing is that Diana's family and the royals grew up together. Reckon Diana and EVERYONE probably knew better.

[@barb-jm7990]

I worked as a bridal consultant in a bridal salon for a year and discovered that brides had different reasons for picking their gowns and that some brides did not have good taste at all. Even royal brides don't necessarily have good taste. But, utimately, it is the marriage that is the important part of the day and if the bride feels good in that dress then that is great. We did try to steer them away from dresses that would really have been a disaster on them such as small spaghetti-straps on a large busted bride or a mermaid style on someone who just didn't have the body for it. But, if the bride was determined that was what she wanted, then more power to her. They know the dress when they see it.

[@trishagoodwin4069]

It depends on what currency they are referring to. I don’t think they said pounds or dollars. For example, if the channel is based in Korea, then a wedding worth $1M USD would cost over 1B Korean won. Just an idea…

[@ladydamiana6841]

I think the creator got confused; the Grosvenor family is WORTH billions; if they'd spent that much on the wedding, they'd be broke now (except it's not possible; most of the wealth is in commercial real estate and other non-liquid assets, and held in a trust, not lying around in a bank account waiting to be spent). Also, I imagine it cost millions for security due to Prince William being there, but I don't know if he paid for his own security, if the groom paid, or if they split the cost.

Plus it didn't fit her properly. It was very loose around the waist, like it was the wrong size.

[@absolutetruthgirl]

For all the youngsters watching this video, Princess Diana's dress ROCKED the fashion industry. Every dress after the royal wedding featured some element from her dress. The 80's were a fashion dream... romantic frills, pastel colours, bows and great imagination went into the fashion of that time. Today's fashion consists of yoga pants, athletic wear and little else.

[@NewEra-]

Indeed, Diana made the big-bang in the British Royal styling.

[@kathryncaudwell8790]

Rustic? I don’t think that’s the right word at all. Seaside style? Very odd choice of words. Are you a robot?!?!
