- I took a look at the venue for our wedding (our backyard) and decided I really need to take that into consideration with choosing a gown. I am going back to Laurel's House to try on a lot more dresses. I have it narrowed down to two...ok, maybe three and will be making my choice soon! Once I decide the gown, I can finalize my exact palette!
Thank you to Laurel's House for allowing me to shoot there! www.laurelshous...

I love the strapless gown with the flowers. That gown looks like it was made for a garden wedding. I hope you consider it. Your statement would be sophisticated classy royalty!
I hope she chooses it!
I'm feeling it!
It reminds me of some of the dresses that Lucille Ball used to wear in the 50’s , just love it
It’s been fun going wedding dress shopping with you. The last two are my favorites. The fitted white, green and pink dress is gorgeous and might be my first choice, but the other is gorgeous too. You’ll be stunning in whatever you decide to pick. Good luck!
Strapless floral wedding dress last one in this video it's very you as well the colors enhance the venue though not taking away from your special day.
Oh Monique, the strapless pink white green floral....... Omg, stunning!!!! 🩷
I gasped when you walked out in the strapless white/green/blush floral dress at 7:05. It is also a perfect compliment to the lush greenery of your backyard while still allowing you to shine. A touch of sparkle with a belt would be so gorgeous! You'll look beautiful in anything you decide! Congratulations! 🤍💚
Or A
Ittle lacey over top.
Me too!!!
The form fitting floral dress - just beautiul on you!
Totally agree
I saw a photo from the wedding and she is wearing that one. Not sure if it is from the ceremony or after.
That periwinkle blue and the tight one, white floral with overskirt... Trust me. I'M TELLING YOU!! THOSE TWO!
My top two!
I must say either of those two would be beautiful. I loved the pale pink one too! However the strapless one with the greenish flowers and over skirt looked the most stunning in the ceremony site pictures 🥰
I think the white & green floral gown is best suited for you and the garden venue. Gorgeous!
My jaw dropped when you wore the strapless, pink floral formfitting gown. Your shoulders...oh my lordy. You could also wear it again and again. I think it was made especially for you. You are such a nature girl so it really speaks of your connection to the flora and fauna around you. It's a tough choice because you look so good in all the dresses.
The strapless form fitting dress with the over-skirt looked amazing. Very Audrey Hepburn! Classic and classy...made for you! 🤗
The strapless pink with green foliage is such a modern Grace Kelly Dress. When you walked in it I could almost hear her voice whilst talking to Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window. You look like a beautiful Princess in all of the dresses, Monique. You will pick the one that moves you the most❤️
Love you bunches too.
Strapless soft pink floral dress is beautiful on you. Great sophisticated bridal option and seems to fit your venue the best. It’s casual elegance and old Hollywood.
7:05 white floral is gorgeous on you. As soon as you walked out, it was magical. ❤
The pale pink strapless with the flowers and leaves. Very bridal. VERY elegant!
Much more so than the ones with the full *princess* skirt portion. Which, on film at least, make you look matronly and wide. Sorry, I’m not trying to be rude. If it were my special day I would want someone to be honest with me as I definitely would want to look and feel stunning
The strapless pale pink looks the best on you! You look slim and regal and young!! Just beautiful! It looks the best in your wedding venue as well. It’s absolutely stunning! Good luck on your search! And best wishes!!!❤
The fitted dress with the flowers looks fantastic and pops against the backdrop! You also get some green!
I think a lilac/light purple gown would look stunning on you and enhance your gray hair. Also, the purple would be beautiful
In your garden.
Agree on the purple gown for after party selection too.
The first Pink. The straight skirt that was too tight with the skirt .. pink & green. No the solid green … you faded… all great… amazing prices. Fabric looked good on all! Suggestion… Have lawn and flowers watered at least 4/5 hours before wedding… they will perk up an look wonderful before wedding. Be sure it will dry before tables etc set up. Do a trial run a few weeks before weeding. ( temp/ sun) similar day. Then you can determine time to put sprinklers, drip hoses on. If u can get hoses to meadow it will be great. I always do this before I have outside party. If u have bugs … spray around to deter… be sure no strong spray. All the tricks against bugs. Coffee grounds in little contains.. light on fire… yes but further away so not near dressed ( yes), floating candles in clear bowl with simple sugar in it. Now you will need to have a map of where to put these. Time it takes to have someone put out. Is there a parking area for your guest cars? Borrow someone’s golf cart to drive folks up. Yes Ribbons on it. ?? Driveways of neighbors? Time of each trip to your house & back for a two seater. Maybe rent the Tour Style Golf Cart.? ?? Would it be Rude to ask down hill neighbors have dog in 10/15 minutes for service so you can hear the bells & service? Hope these ideas help. Late comment. The pink reminds me of Grace Kelly Look. 😀
DowG, ha! Lots of help here. ARE U GOING TO GO PARK CARS TOO?
Got carried away. Lol. Hope you were being funny and not sarcastic. I am a rather dramatic Southern Gal and we love Home Weddings outside. Even down to having a Mama Dog with new born puppies. ( in an open area away from food… it generates conversation & relaxation). 😀
The last one you tired on, I fell in love with it myself. But I'm not the bride to be. Whatever you choose will make your day and you shine like a bright star ✨.
Pink and green gets my vote!❤❤❤❤❤
The last one you tried on. They are all gorgeous and you are gorgeous in them all. The last one just looks like a wedding gown.
Agree♥️
The two dresses at 10:00 are both perfect! Good luck deciding! ❤
OMG Monique the strapless dress with the florals looks stunning on you. Just beautiful. And again the original one that you thought was pale on you that one looks beautiful also. Any of those two would look beautiful. So happy for you for this wedding. ❤️❤️
My votes from this batch are the pink floral with the overskirt and the silver/blue brocade. That purple in a shade of burgundy to coordinate with some of your landscape colors would be beautiful.
Hands down winner for me is the floral one around 7:07 ….you are Grace Kelly in that. Absolutely gorgeous. It gives your shape the best look and complements all the greenery int the background perfectly. (Good call on the photoshopping idea so we can see how it would look!). Others looked almost costume-y, if that makes sense? And I agree about the gold…with your silver hair and coloring, ….hmmm. A close second is the purple, as it will be a technically Fall wedding and the purple contrasted so amazing against the green background. Hope this helps! This is fun!
Thank you!!!!
@@MoniqueparentYT and your panic buy one for the dancing….
Gosh that column floral dress with over skirt is stunning
your shoulder line looks absolutely different and perfect in this pinkish with green white, this dress is made couture for you. Absolutely different level of that style and colors.
Yes!
@@meee4217That one we all liked most. And so
Did Mo!
The strapless, pink and green floral is beautiful!!! 😍😍😍
The strapless pale pink with green floral print looks so beautiful! That’s my choice.
The 2 (split screen) at the end are both perfect. The flower one is the one for an outside wedding against that backdrop, but you are a Disney Princess in the other. What a choice!
My favourite is the strapless overskirt dress……. OMG! You rock it! Spectacular! I know you don’t want a fitted dress but this gives you both a fitted and princess style…….In the end it will come down to personal choice and how you feel in the dress. Enjoy! And congratulations!
The Form fitting with the floral print and back skirt! Yes! So elegant looking on you, soft and wedding like as well. Chefs kiss!
All of them are beautiful, but as soon as you walked out wearing the strapless gown I said oooooooh how GORGEOUS!!!!! And it was loud at 1 am lol. Not a bad choice in the bunch, they all looked wonderful on you and each would add an interesting color scheme to the natural backdrop. I can’t wait to see which one you choose!!!!
White floral fitted with the skirt overlay!!! Stunning on you and in front of all the greenery!,
I just wanted to let you know that, I am new to your RUclips channel, and a gay man, who just embraced my gray hair (thanks to you), and that it doesn’t make you look old. Received so many compliments. I truly enjoy your videos, you are a true delight, and inspiring. I wish you nothing but happiness, love and joy in your life future marriage. Keep up your amazing work energy and outlook on life…❤
The strapless dress with floral print is a statement dress and it looked absolutely stunning on you! This dress also blends perfect with the venue…your wedding pictures would be out of this world with the backdrop of foliage at your home! You could definitely wear this dress again at future functions and relive your special day!
The pink against all that green really stands out and it looks great on you with your skin tone and hair. I liked the pink/green/white one but it could be more restricting when trying to move around, dance, etc.
As previously stated by many, the strapless floral is beautiful on you. It seems made for your torso. Really show off your shoulders. Stunning. I like the periwinkle color on you as well. Whatever you choose will be beautiful. Best wishes for your upcoming nuptials!
I think that the blue dress that was your favourite from your first visit should be a contender, but just to complicate things....so should the strapless green and pink. Both are lovely, you have some hard choices to make, but you will make the right one.
Love the pale pink and green dress. 2 nd choice ,other pink,next,green dress. Congratulations Monique!!!!
the strapless pink and green
STUNNING
The strapless form fitting floral dress is STUNNING for a garden wedding! I also LOVE the last dress that you had tried on in the previous video!
Absolutely loved the strapless pink with flowers and skirt overlay at the end before your fav one that you tried on. There was something totally different about that one that made you look not only bridal and part of the landscape but gave you a soft serene look too. Personally I would go with that and then something different for the reception and dance that is a bit more bold and upbeat. Good luck with your choices.
As much as I love the pastel one from the first video, that strapless one is amazing! Both on you, and for the venue. It has enough green in it to compliment the background but not blend into it, and enough color to compliment your hair and skin tone. It’s perfect!
The pink gown with some soft green and white is my fav for you. Perfect for an outdoor wedding in the garden.
Monique, thank you for taking us along on your wedding dress journey it is so much fun!! They are all beautiful dresses but my favorite is the periwinkle blue one!! It is beautiful with your coloring! You look so elegant and gorgeous in it and also it pops off of the beautiful landscape colors. I also loved the one you tried on again from the first time but the perwinkle is my absolute favorite!!! Good luck choosing your perfect gown Monique 😊❤
Oh Monique, the pink strapless with the flowers is ga-ga- gorgeous on you. Reminds me of old Hollywood.
I thought the gold washed you out. I loved the last one, the silver brocade. The material is stunning and very elaborate and sophisticated looking. Very rich in that color scheme
I love the soft pink one with the green floral. The one with the overskirt. The colors in that dress really compliment the greenery around you AND looks stunning on your figure!
I’m team strapless pink white green floral. Get it altered so it’s comfy. Looks regal, super flattering and perfect for the venue.
I liked the last dress you tried on the best, but whichever you choose...I'm sure you will be a beautiful bride.
You were so smart in constraining to ONE store and then having a set price point and from there a color palette. You made things so much easier for yourself. The dresses are breathtaking. What’s really interesting is that no matter what dress you decide to purchase, you’ll look stunning in it. If you’re worried about blending into the greenery, you have lots of colors in your landscaping, blues, Bordeaux, orange, purple, etc. you could POSSIBLY have a silk shawl or something with those colors in there to give the dress a little “pop”.. the dress you first looked at before and was near the end of this video is very regal and so French-like.. I could see why you loved it. But in any event, whatever dress you choose, will be a great one! Am so excited for you!
The periwinkle is absolutely stunning on you. The gold washes you out. The green isn't the best color for you either. The pink is nice, but compared to the periwinkle, it's plain. My vote: That gorgeous periwinkle dress!
This dress was beautiful on her. It is my second pick behind the floral strapless. I think the flower appliques on the periwinkle dress are so appropriate for a garden wedding
Periwinkle!
Just my thoughts exactly! She will be beautiful in any dress because she is gorgeous. But the periwinkle is the best.
@@lisaduncan6923 I like that too, however you want your wedding dress to be timeless. IMHO, you will be looking at these photos 10 years from now, and the dress will look classic.
The flowery one and the one next to it fits you perfect and they go well with your place of the wedding won't blend into the background 😊✨
The strapless white gown with green and blush flowers is really beautiful on you.
You my gosh the strapless gown on you Monique is stunning,I got goosebumps girl,but you look gorgeous in all of them.
Oh gosh the strapless floral gown shows off your great figure the best and like another said it looks like “garden wedding” yet so sophisticated. You looked as though you were enjoying wearing that gown. That’s my two cents. Whatever you decide on wearing you will come across as glamorous. God bless and be happy!
The flower one and the periwinkle one! Oh Monique, I am truly in awe because I’ve been with you since the very start of your journey and it gives me hope! I love you and Howard dearly!
The strapless and the regal looking dress are my favourites. 💜😘🥂
Brutal honesty here … gowns with a deep V both front and back are the best STYLE on you. The brocade dress does look wonderful & if that’s your favorite, you should buy it. As for contrast against the landscape visible behind your house - purple/lilac is the most visible because they are close to opposite each other on the color wheel. But the ceremony is only a short part of the event, so I wouldn’t choose based solely on that factor.
I love the light pink gown! It has ethereal enchanted princess vibes. 💕 It’s so nice with the green natural backdrop. You look gorgeous in them all!
The deeper blue one which looks great with your hair and stands out with background of your wedding or the green and white floral which fits the wedding backdrop perfectly. Also, that green and white one suits your figure, cause you can pull it off!
I love the light blue with the silver shinning flowers!🎉🎉🎉
The last dress is absolutely stunning on you. It suits you so well.
Agree❤
I LOVED the strapless grown with the narrow dress with the overlay. The colours are perfect on you and the colours looked so good against the greenery of your wedding home. And you said you felt Bridal wearing it!
The dress that is fitted with the flowers looks absolutely stunning on you. Elegant and glamorous with an ethereal twist. Perfect for a garden wedding ❤
Also, the blue/gold brocade could be cut in future into a tea dress length
The white pink and green floral! I like the periwinkle blue for the reception/after. Thanks for taking us shopping with you 😊
The strapless dress with flowers and over skirt is stunning!!
The strapless gown with the flowers at 7:05 wooooww so beautiful 🥰
When you came out in the floral dress with the overskirt I thought that's the one! It looks amazing on you and is so bridal but also not at the same time. I wish you had found one that was a little bit more of a rose color to try as I think that would be beautiful on you as well. Maybe you could wear the pink floral for the ceremony and the bluish one for the reception. It's hard to beat that floral one on you.
I love the form fitting with over skirt for the wedding. It's beautiful Ann's bridal. The others are beautiful but they seem for other occasions. The flowers in the garden and everything will match or compliment that dress. If you were in another climate since it would be fall I would go with the purple dress however since the flowers are still going to be in bloom and it's still going to be mild there I would go with that dress it's just stunning on you. If I had to pick a second one it would be the blue one flowers on it, however there's no really blue going on in the surrounding area or to compliment there's no blue flowers so that would be my only hesitation on that one although it is beautiful
The strapless floral or the last brocade are the best colours for you IMO. You looked beautiful and striking in both.
🌹The Regal last dress is The Dress! It was gorgeous in the last video and gorgeous in this video! Looks like it was made for you. Looks super expensive and timeless. Reminds me of a dress Grace Kelly wore in a film. Congratulations again! ♥️
The strapless one at the end is beautiful and looks good with the back drop and congratulations 🎉❤
Your landscaping has come so far, love it! I loved the strapless flora, but feel like the blue one you tried on again is the one which makes you most comfortable. I could see pairing it with a mostly pink bouquet and pink lipstick.
The strapless garden dress: exquisite!
Congratulations Monique. So very happy for you. I too love the strapless gown with flowers.
The strapless green and pink floral ....gorgeous.
Thank you for bringing us along! you look gorgeous in all of them. My favorite was the one you liked too, the one you said you needed to losen the skirt, the flowered one with a kind of cape over the skirt. You looked amazing in it! Also, in my opinion, it would look better with the soroundings a simpler dress, without shiny stones and shiny fabrics.
Maybe take the over skirt off for dancing? JMO. Love hair up.
The blue one 💙
The strapless white with green & pink flowers was gorgeous on you!!!
Love the green and pink one and the blue one... the last two you tried on.
OK, I’m back. I like the floral one right after the periwinkle and two. It fits you like a glove. And it’s so feminine. OK these are my two favorites so far. Back to the show.
The dresses are beautiful 😍 The green and gold blends in. The pink is OK. The purple is good the light purple is good. But the one that made you cry and the flowery one which is a very hard pick which one. Thanks for sharing. ❤
I fell in love with the strapless gown with flowers .So perfect for a garden wedding.
Strapless gown with flowers! 😘🫂
The second to last dress is very old Hollywood glam...my favorite options are that and the black and white dress from vid one, which you said was Howard's choice as well. (And we all know he has exquisite taste--look who he's chosen to marry.) With your hair up, in the second to last dress in this vid ,you resemble vintage Hollywood stars such Grace Kelly, etc. But you will look perfect in whichever dress makes you happiest.
Strapless gown with the overskirt is the most flattering and special. Love this one. And although we might have our preferences, it’s your day and you have to feel “it”. The gown has to be comfy to wear as well. Nothing should draw your attention away from this special day. ❤ So happy for you both🤍
I love the last one you tried on. The one that you really like. 8:29. You do look regal in it and that’s how a bride should look. Absolutely stunning! Congratulations!
The dress with the over skirt is THE ONE! You look elegant and regal and the colors are perfect for you and the venue.
The strapless with pink and green! Just have it altered so you have a little more wiggle room for dancing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, Monique! I have watched you off and on for years. I think back at the beginning on youtube. I check in every once in a while and I am so happy for you and the course your life took. So wonderful! Wishing you even better days in your future!!!
I love the last two your ultimate favorite and the strapless with green that made you feel like a bride.
Pink ❤ suits you, greetings from Germany 😊
You stand out the most in the periwinkle blue dress from the green background. I still like the panic dress you bought first. Both silvery dresses are gorgeous but the blue makes your eyes pop.
The periwinkle blue compliments your hair and skin colour
It is the last one, the beautiful, regal blue dress! So elegant, and it compliments your figure and hair color! ❤️
agree, it is so flattering on several levels ❤
😊 Thank you for sharing this special occasion. May you and Howard live happily ever after! The last dress was regal, you looked stunning in all, and you'll know which one it right for you!
I think the light pink brocade dress is so beautiful on you. That’s my vote.
Yes- the blue gold dress is more elegant and less fussy than the green/white strapless favorite. I think it makes you look like Cinderella at the ball. And you wont trip while dancing. A plus!
The snug fit dress is my favourite. It is different, it was bridal and regal. It had that touch of green and it was the most flattering from behind.Plus it will look great with your head piece.
💎 Beautiful Monique ~ The light blue & gold dress at 8:14 minutes is absolutely ***YOU*** (as if the fabric was spun by little tiny fairies, just for for you!) - simply stunning ... 💎
Light pink and green floral
The periwinkle is by far the most beautiful colour on you. It makes your hair and face pop! I would see what other gowns they have in that colour - periwinkle for the win! 💙
