hi Lauren, DIY can I please go to your onesie site

[@ladygrisham181]

Why do I kinda want her to send me the dresses and the inspiration pictures so I can alter them and bring them closer to the inspiration before she gives them away!!! That would be so fun !!!

[@ellie-465]

I'm actually so in love with the #4 dress and am a size 2 - but I don't have any other social media 😅😭 My fiancé and I just got engaged and are planning to get married early next year! We're just finishing up our uni degree so we are trying to keep it budget freindly. So excited for more content, it's like planning with a friend! ❤

[@karens4565]

Keep these wedding themed videos coming! I just got engaged and planning on April 2025 for my wedding (so I have enough time to save up ;-;). I'm in between sizes of 2 and 4. I actually love the Lee Petra Marianne dupe if I can be in the running for it! (cries in student loans)

[@Queen.Smitty.24]

Hii! Huge fan I share this account with my fiancé. We’re getting married this next summer and I would die for one of those dresses! I’m about 5’3 and a size 2 I’ve been having a hard time finding a wedding dress within my budget bc ya know weddings are so expensive 😅

[@michaelcaywood6070]

You looked beautiful in those Wedding dresses.

[@JanaeEscarez1]

have a wedding on may 24th and would love the aretta wedding dress 🥹!!!

[@SorryItsAlondra]

I’m so early omg I love uuu ❤🎉

[@Lastdayfind]

A wedding dress video with fiancé Jeremy is a must 🤞

[@baddie4daddie]

Laura would you actually try to glitter the dress yourself? That could be so pretty!

[@MiniBowdenface]

Lauren you absolutely need to try ASOS wedding dresses 👰‍♀️

[@LaurDIY]

omg YAYAYAAAAA going to look right now!!

[@alexamauritiusvlogs]

diy it !

[@kendallparsons4121]

I feel honored to be the same height and size as lauren 😭😂😂

[@secretaltruism4174]

I plan on wearing a suit at my wedding (as a woman-adjacent person). Part of it is just that I can wear the suit after the event, whereas you can't wear a wedding dress again

[@svarinak]

that second dress was CRONCHY on the mic LMAO

[@Championgirl246]

Remove the sleeves and I’m in love with that polka dot dress.

[@Championgirl246]

Lol just saw you remove it and I love it!

[@LaurDIY]

totally agree

[@sarahmoorhead8146]

Could you link these so people who aren’t your size can also save some money?

[@LaurDIY]

they're all in the description

[@nv4699]

Ever notice how in the dupes the waistlines are so darn high?

[@tinnasigurardottir4086]

Take a shot every time Lauren says “so” 😂

[@ChelseaAlexandraa]

I actually really like the first and second dress I’m getting married sept 2024

[@aeroaro121075]

and now you have to diy two of the dresses to make them better

[@armerls]

+

[@careboss13kendall19]

Can they legally make it exactly the same as the original?

[@nancyannawood]

Nice too meet you??! Who are you meeting on your wedding day? Usually people invite friends/family that they know ❤

[@kimmycass8006]

I am a widow in my mid 40's that was blessed enough to find love once again. I would feel so lucky to receive any dress you just showed. Plz let me know what I would need to become a candidate. Thank you so much for your consideration, Kim

[@dylansousa5571]

Lauren you are beautiful

[@anonanon8898]

Lol expensive and “exstrenuous”

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job learn .

[@kaylaguerrero1704]

[@justinakiefer8505]

Love the video and want some ideas for videos for my KZbin channel and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are thinking of move to Florida just us together someday and you and Jeremy are cute together and the dresses are pretty

[@et7777]

Heyyyyyyy

[@eyesofivy]

[@varshitha6723]

[@AlisonLinh]

Anyone else have a good experience with this website?

[@imkaramarie]

Whose here from the podcast episode!? 0:30

[@Sincerelywendyy]

😍😍🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🫶🏼

[@meeshstudio_]

200 is cheap?

[@haileighgomez5899]

compared to 2-3k dresses which is what most typical wedding dresses run, yes

[@blaireshoe8738]

@@haileighgomez5899 and compared to the 6-12k dresses some of them are duping, double yes 😂

[@KasheYan15]

I hate the way u say Napoli tho

[@drenee65]

I don't understand. You are much shorter than the models so why would the dresses fit you the same? That does change the fabric placement also..😮

[@AsmaSky]

Great video but can you please get your hair out of the way so that the dress shows better

[@Milajovanovic333]

Yo..... Nah-poll-ee? @jeremy pls discuss on pod

[@zgyenes14]

the difference between this year and last year 🥹 after you first announced you were engaged, i immediately went back and rewatched buying cheap wedding dresses and got even more excited for you 🫶
