I ended up spending less than 5k for my wedding. used a family members land, diy'd as much as possible. a family friend officiated (we still gave him $100), catering was a family friend ($700), and family friend as a photographer ($300). My MIL restored her mothers dress & I wore that. it was beautiful! I'm here though because I am looking for a black dress on JJshouse for our 1 year anniversary photos (October). not looking to spend A TON. thank you for the review!!
The last dress was the best. I think it being a bit more made it better. JJ's House is the one. You save money without it being too cheap to be quality. My favorite bridal gown videos it the ones where people buy thrift store gowns around Halloween when they have them really cheap and update for 2023 looks. One woman actually bought 3. One for high quality the satin. The other 2 for the appliques. anyone that sews well could end up with a high-quality gown that way and even though they were thrifted she would have her own unique look by redoing it,
Great video! My wedding is June 4, 2022. I have a few dresses saved on hebeos and wondered if it was any other legitimate companies. Thank you for this honest review. New subscriber. Beautiful dresses❣️
When I was getting married (1997) I was concerned that the dress I loved was $900. My sister who married before me regretted not getting her dream dress and told me to go for it so I wouldn’t have any regrets like her. I did buy it and still love it all these years later! Im getting remarried and have found a dress at JJ’s in the special occasions section that I love and it’s under $500 Canadian. You could donate them to a place that gives prom dresses to girls who can’t afford them.
I'm just half way through your video and I love it, can't wait to see the dresses and wanted to thank you for your help since I was looking for dresses from those websites as well thank you sooo much. By the way your voice and whole being is so lovely, I was really struggling with some anxiety today and you just calmed me down for some reason, I really like listening to your voice and I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you ❤
All the women in my family (Grandmother, Mother, 3 Aunts, 2 cousins and myself) designed and sewed my dress and my head dress. I lost it due to Hurricane Harvey in 2017. I was married in 1992 so my Grandmother and an Aunt were no longer living. I think it is the biggest loss of ALL the items we lost….
Thank you! I have thought about doing a skin care routine video, the main things I do are 1. eat clean food 2. exercise and hydrate 3. skin care for the past 20 years has pretty much been Mary Kay moisturizers 4. get plenty of sleep.
My choice is the blush but now, you have JJ house it's gorgeous. My first dress was a mark down in Penny's for $25. My second wedding I spent $3000 and never wore it because of the weather. Now I have all the money in the world to spend and still can't decide.
All the dresses looked really good on you! I've been looking at some of these sites and have been really curious... especially since I've noticed the pictures aren't some of their own and don't want to get a knock off, hot mess that's cheap looking! I really like the JJs house dress, but feel like if the halter was a snap, or hook instead of a string it would of made the back look more sleek.
@@bleuavenue I wonder if trying to order the dress or another one similar and putting I'd like a snap or hook on the top in the comments if they'd actually do it? There's a dress on hebeos and prom Lily it's a v neck glitter top that almost looks like a greyish/heavy silvered top with a blush pink ball gown and prom Lily has it for $157.00 and it's called "pink long tulle ball gown v-neck 2022" that I've been looking at and think it would make a beautiful wedding dress in the blush pink or a sherbet bottom but I haven't seen anyone post an actual picture of it and don't know who actually makes the dress to see what the price of the real dress is. But I'm scared to order it incase it's not what it looks like cause it's SO PRETTY!
Though I love the last dress for the wedding, I would need a second dress for moving around the the reception and dancing. But with those prices, that’s a possibility.
My sister got her mermaid style dress on Azazi and it was beautiful. Definitely didnt look cheap and her MIL was able to do the adjustments. I have to try on clothes before buying so Ima look around at different stores. Dont trust myself to buy the correct style for my small body lol
The second dress looks stunning, refreshing different & couture ! A good Taylor can sew cups inside the dress , so that it’s comfortable to wear & shows no bra, just a beautiful bare back.
I ordered an off shoulder mermaid dress from everpretty for only 40 dollars and it was gorgeous I don't care for the styles you ordered because I hate tulle but it was a great review
Absolutely! The top and skirt are from BellePoque and here are the links: www.bellepoque.com/collections/new-bottoms/products/fans-look-of-solid-color-buttons-decorated-flared-a-line-skirt-with-belt-pockets www.bellepoque.com/collections/tops/products/vintage-short-sleeve-roll-style-collar-button-placket-blouse The top is out of stock in black right now, but it has restocked a couple of times, so hopefully it will come back soon.
Wow, those were some very beautiful wedding dresses. I have spent alot of time pouring through wedding dresses at JJ's House & Hebeos. They really have some beautiful dresses! I loved them all! You look gorgeous modeling them. Maybe you can keep your favorite to have a special renewing your vows ceremony with your husband and surprise him wearing your favorite pic! I had looked at the white wedding dress from Hebeos myself and considered it. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. I thought the blush dress was lovely on you too.
@@bleuavenue That's awesome! I would be very happy for you and your husband! I saw your pics on the Hebeos website! Very nice to see you there! I think I will eventually be ordering from there....I have a couple of gowns I ❤ love...it's just narrowing down to just one!
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck in your search, I hope you find your dream dress. I don't know how much time you have to shop around, but I will be doing another wedding dress try-on in just a few weeks.
This seem like a good and honest review. The dresses was nice, and I have been wondering about all of these shops. Especially Hebeos because that's who really caught my eye. They have a lot of different styles and dresses on their website, and they ALL look pretty nice. Again thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day/week in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. God love and cares for you and so do I. And don't you forget it, or let anything or anyone tell you any different. 💜💜💜💜💜🙂🙂🙂💛💛💛💛💛💛
How did you spend $1500 for your whole wedding? :o I pulled my hair out trying to plan my wedding for under $8k. Ended up picking a venue that has a bunch of stuff included for $15k. Probably spending $18k total
I know, it all adds up so quickly! Having the venue be free and getting all my floral stuff for 80% off, and having someone make all my dresses for free probably accounted for most of the money I saved. It wasn't a grand wedding though. If I can find my photos somewhere in my storage, I'll try to post them in another video.
I regret not getting married in red. I should have followed my heart I m sad jou didn t review soms mermaid dresses too. The last dresses is my favorite
I wish I had in this review but mermaid dresses scare me a little, I had to work up my courage a little and got pretty close to a mermaid style in this video ruclips.net/video/dryWuA-okJ0/видео.htmlsi=Q_bhqq6Sa1YoNGky.
I totally understand, ordering online is such a risk because it's hard to tell what you'll get and the sizing and everything. I do wish that there were more product photos instead of just model photos, but I was pretty happy with the dresses I got.
I'm so glad you found it helpful. I do my best to really showcase what these dresses are like. They don't always look exactly like the photos, but some of them are still really nice.
Awesome review! What color did you select for the Princess Tulle dress from Hebeos. I see that the default color says 'Show as Picture'...was that what you selected? I ask because i'm not sure what it would look like in white vs Ivory.
I checked my order and yes, for the color I selected "show as picture." To me it looks white. Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any more questions :D
Hi! Ever-Pretty arrived within a week because their dresses are already made and ready to ship. Hebeos I custom sized and they arrived in about three weeks. JJs House also custom sized and it arrived in about four weeks.
Honestly shocked you had a good customer service experience with JJS house. I had the worst experience with them that actually left me believing they were a scam company. Sent a rubbish quality bridesmaid dress in the wrong colour, charged £20 delivery to send it less than two hours from their warehouse in a rubbish plastic wrapping and then when we requested a refund only gave back less than half of what we paid. Scammed us out of £60 and failed to respond to any complaints
Married in 1965 and spent $500. My sister and I went shopping and trying on wedding dresses to see if what I thought I wanter looked good. I was married in Sept. and bought a summer dress on sale. I got wht I wanted on sale. My dress cost less than my veil. I wore a lace manilla. The dress cost $50 on sale and the lace veil cost $100. The wedding cake cost more because mom wanted a cake topper with a sailor in bellbottems. We couldn't get that. But she special ordered one which of course cost more. Plus gad to be special delivery due to the wedding being a month away. LOL try c o ordination a date between an Army office fathers leave a ND leave time for a navy enlisted sailors leave time ended up getting married on a date that gave everyone a dated that left them with just enough time the next d a t for everyone to leave early the next morning to get to their duty station in time for work.
2nd dress: hebeos: could steam it yourself. could get a bra that is very low in back...they make them. Personally, i would like to see the dresses that you like. you said you chose ones that you thot others would like the best. lets see your taste too. Yes?
Since making this video I got a steamer and learned how to use it on more delicate fabrics and it has made all the difference! I think when I choose dresses I get stuck in one or two certain styles, usually a fitted bodice and a full skirt, so I try to reach outside that a little to keep things interesting. Although I will say that the JJS House dress was my dream dress if only I'd ordered the right color 😢
@@bleuavenue oh, nice to hear, dear....you do a great job w the dresses. thank for explaining....very sweet. glad the streamer is working for you. nice. I know what you mean about like certain styles. i will have to look back and see the jjs dress again....
Not sure, I haven't had to return, but may be reach out to them and see what their process is. For JJs House I would have to pay return shipping and it didn't seem worth it to me.
I ended up spending less than 5k for my wedding. used a family members land, diy'd as much as possible. a family friend officiated (we still gave him $100), catering was a family friend ($700), and family friend as a photographer ($300).
My MIL restored her mothers dress & I wore that. it was beautiful!
I'm here though because I am looking for a black dress on JJshouse for our 1 year anniversary photos (October). not looking to spend A TON.
thank you for the review!!
I'm glad I could help and best of luck finding a dress for your photos!
Me too! $5k on the dot for 50 people. My dress was from JJ's and was fiyah!
The last dress was the best. I think it being a bit more made it better. JJ's House is the one. You save money without it being too cheap to be quality.

Oh my goodness , you look like Audrey Hepburn in the Jj house dress . Beautiful 😍
i thought the same thing :)
The last dress was my favourite! Btw has anyone ever told you that you look a bit like audrey hepburn?
Thank you, she's always been my favorite actress and style icon, so it's super flattering to hear that I resemble her!
I agree 100% about her resembling Audrey Hepburn ❤️
I agree, the shape of her eyes especially!
You're just so beautiful! Loved this video. You're an Audrey Hepburn type of classic.
Great video! My wedding is June 4, 2022. I have a few dresses saved on hebeos and wondered if it was any other legitimate companies. Thank you for this honest review. New subscriber. Beautiful dresses❣️

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you liked it and I hope it was helpful!
All weren't bad, agree last was best!
Definitely, the JJs house was my favorite.
Beautiful dresses. Especially the blush dress. Gorgeous!!!
The silhouette on the halter is spectacular. Your height, figure and the way you carry yourself presents a beautiful CONFIDENT bride
Aw, thank you so much!
All the women in my family (Grandmother, Mother, 3 Aunts, 2 cousins and myself) designed and sewed my dress and my head dress. I lost it due to Hurricane Harvey in 2017. I was married in 1992 so my Grandmother and an Aunt were no longer living. I think it is the biggest loss of ALL the items we lost….
Also, you have daughters that are nearly grown??! You have such youthful skin! Please share if you have any tips on how to stay looking so young.
Thank you! I have thought about doing a skin care routine video, the main things I do are
1. eat clean food
2. exercise and hydrate
3. skin care for the past 20 years has pretty much been Mary Kay moisturizers
4. get plenty of sleep.
Thank you for your lovely review.😘
My pleasure 😊
My choice is the blush but now, you have JJ house it's gorgeous. My first dress was a mark down in Penny's for $25. My second wedding I spent $3000 and never wore it because of the weather. Now I have all the money in the world to spend and still can't decide.
JJs was my absolute favorite too! But it's always a tough decision.
You are Wonderful at this!! I hope to see you do more!
I really liked the 1st and 2nd dresses.
The photo of the Hebeos blush dress is lovely. I wish I had a reason to want one. It is lovely on you alsp. It would be perfect for a 2nd wedding.
Thank you so much! I totally agree!
Massive anticipation.
Edit: Advice well served.
JJ’s was my fav then the first one was a very close second
I think the JJs was my fave too! Wish I'd ordered it in the right color :(
Great video. Good to know for brides on a budget.
Glad it was helpful!

I really like the JJs house dress, but feel like if the halter was a snap, or hook instead of a string it would of made the back look more sleek.
I agree! I wonder if they would create a custom back with a clasp for you instead of the tie.

Congrats and I hope you find your dream dress(es) 🥰
Third dress👍that dress comes in all colors if you like a more vintage look ivory and champane
You are gorgeous! Honest and useful review. Thank you 🙏. And I like your back ground😍😍 could you please tell me where can I find it??? Thank you
I got it as a photography background on Amazon. It wasn't super expensive and it's fabric, so it doesn't show the creases like vinyl backgrounds do.
Thank you so much for taking time to answer for me. You are so helpful and professional. Stay humble! May God bless you. 🤗🤗

Thank you so much!
I got a bridesmaid dress from everpretty and it was absolutely gorgeous!
Right?! They make really pretty dresses!
This was amazing! You need way more likes on this video. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you liked it! More videos like this are on the way :D

Please can u put the stock picture on the screen when u have the dress on so we can see a side by side comparison xx
I'll do my best!
I regret not getting married in red. I should have followed my heart
I m sad jou didn t review soms mermaid dresses too.

There are so many dresses on hebeos that are beautiful, but I'm so scared to get burned 😫😫
I totally understand, ordering online is such a risk because it's hard to tell what you'll get and the sizing and everything. I do wish that there were more product photos instead of just model photos, but I was pretty happy with the dresses I got.
TBH, I feel like ballgowns are the true test for every company.
too true!
Thank you for this. I’ve been looking at dresses from these places and wondering if you get what you actually buy.
I'm so glad you found it helpful. I do my best to really showcase what these dresses are like. They don't always look exactly like the photos, but some of them are still really nice.
Loved this!!! If you want to do another video in wedding dresses, check out CocoMelody, Azazie, and LuLus. :)
Thank you! Will do!
By the way I would have NEVER guessed that you have daughter's that are almost grown. You look younger then that.
Your dress from Hebeos is more like a 2 or 4 on size, by the way love your video
Thanks so much!
6k for my entire wedding for sure
Show us your wedding dress!
I really wanted to, but no one seems to know where it went. I've searched in my mom's attic and in my storage shed and can't find it anywhere. 😅
Any wedding photos of it?
Did you receive the veil and if so what was the quality?
I did get the veil and it was as expected. I can't really tell much difference from one veil to the next, but it was nice.
Awesome review! What color did you select for the Princess Tulle dress from Hebeos. I see that the default color says 'Show as Picture'...was that what you selected? I ask because i'm not sure what it would look like in white vs Ivory.

This was insanely helpful thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Just wondering if the JJ's house dress sews on appliques and sequins or are they glued on like the less expensive gowns?
On this gown, they are sewn on. It was a very nice quality dress. Let me know if you have any other questions :D
Love the second dress you tried on from hebos having a hard time saving money for it but love that dress
Great video, super helpful
Thanks, I'm so glad you liked it!
Hi! I was just wondering around how long did it take for the dresses to reach you? Thank you! :)
Hi! Ever-Pretty arrived within a week because their dresses are already made and ready to ship. Hebeos I custom sized and they arrived in about three weeks. JJs House also custom sized and it arrived in about four weeks.

Oh, that it so awful! It makes me even more thankful that everything went so smoothly with my order.
What company is the blush one?
I believe it was Hebeos.
Great video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching 💕
Married in 1965 and spent $500. My sister and I went shopping and trying on wedding dresses to see if what I thought I wanter looked good. I was married in Sept. and bought a summer dress on sale. I got wht I wanted on sale. My dress cost less than my veil. I wore a lace manilla. The dress cost $50 on sale and the lace veil cost $100. The wedding cake cost more because mom wanted a cake topper with a sailor in bellbottems. We couldn't get that. But she special ordered one which of course cost more. Plus gad to be special delivery due to the wedding being a month away. LOL try c o ordination a date between an Army office fathers leave a ND leave time for a navy enlisted sailors leave time ended up getting married on a date that gave everyone a dated that left them with just enough time the next d a t for everyone to leave early the next morning to get to their duty station in time for work.
Thanks for sharing your wedding story! It's such a special moment in a person's life!

I know what you mean about like certain styles. i will have to look back and see the jjs dress again....
How tall are u? Is it tall girl friendly?
I'm 5'6" and all of these dresses were quite long and/or had customizable length.
How is Hebos on returns
Not sure, I haven't had to return, but may be reach out to them and see what their process is. For JJs House I would have to pay return shipping and it didn't seem worth it to me.
From which country is hebeos
I believe it is China.
You are beautiful😊😊
Did anyone ever tell you that you like Audrey Hepburn?
Thank you, I love her so much!
