This consultant guy is so sweet! Im glad he’s there to stand behind and support the bride. Im glad the family came around too after she stuck up for herself!
And he was so right about the fiancé talking about what his mother wanted!
Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He is my favorite SYTTD stylist from any country.
@nubbyrose87 Me too! He has, in my mind, the perfect blend of sass and respect. He's funny and still good at his job.
Couldn’t you just eat him up!? So stinking cute!
It’s heartbreaking that people still have such views on skin tone, she is absolutely gorgeous. I am also glad she stuck to what She Loves, it is unique and beautiful and she looked stunning in it.
It's more so the older generation. Her grandma instilled that insecurity in her and i am pretty sure some toxic aunties too but there are definitely a lot of people who do not think that way, specially amongst today's generation. I have exactly her skin colour and i feel blessed to have an amazing family and friend circle, they have always hyped me up and made me feel beautiful.
@@harshitabhuyan8892 Then you are very lucky, having such a wonderful family and friends! And if you look as beautiful as this bride to be you are lucky because she is really beautiful! I admire her colors, her skin, her hair, her figure and looks altogether; she is a lovely bride. But most important is love and happiness...💗
To be very honest, I think you Gillis have spoken the same views.
I honestly dont know if she is insecure becuase different colors on different skin give different feeling and in may look bad and onnemay look really good. I think she just want a dress that brings out her skintone and makes her look good.
I don't think she was "insecure" about her skin tone. She simply wanted a lehenga whose colour would bring out her skin tone. And I'm glad with her choice as the outfit becomes her, not the other way around.
I’m so glad she’s stuck with her instincts. That third dress literally washed her out. You couldn’t really see her in that red dress all you saw was the dress and not her. That pink dress looked amazing on her and really brought out her undertones, she shined very brightly in it.
Yes, she looked STUNNINGLY beautiful in that pink dress. I initially was disappointed, as I thought she'd chosen #3. Glad she stuck to her guns, with encouragement from the host. Best Wishes for the couple, and Cheers to All!
I was so glad when she chose the pink one!
Yes I agree......both beautiful however in my opinion the darker was old bride and the pink was vivacious young gorgeous bride.....🥰
A co worker wore a pink saree and it was gorgeous on her ❤️
the pink dress made her glow
Honestly, I don’t know why she is worried about her skin tone because it’s wonderfully beautiful and every single color looks perfect on her!!! So glad she decided by herself the dress she liked!
Because in India to be a darker skin tone is to be treated poorly and looked down upon. Skin bleaching is still a very real and popular thing.
@@katrabbit skin bleaching was done back in the day even in USA amongst Native Americans, Latinos, and African Americans. Creams to bleach the skin are still sold in many South American and Latin American stores as well. 😢💔
@@isabellancali5388 Exactly. Some of my older family members (great grandparents and grandparents) in Mexico still make remarks about the darker and lighter skin tones. I made the reference to India because... well, obviously they're Indian... and from what I know there's still a very large marketing campaign for bleach creams throughout India and many parts of Asia as a whole. It's incredibly sad how much skin tone has played a role in so many horrendous wars and genocides in each country. Just pitted against each other from a classist system made to dismantle unity with one another.
This obsession towards lighter skin happened because of British influence on India for over 200 years.
she said she LOVES her skin color
You can tell that she feels absolutely beautiful in that Pink.
But she is beautiful, she looked well in all dresses.
The pink was prettier in terms of the detail work. The red was a bit plain in comparison . Good thing the sales guy was there to encourage her to pick what she wanted and not what the groom's mother wants.
The third dress completely washed her out. The pink one literally made her GLOW. I'm so glad she chose that one and that the husband was supportive of her decision.
I'm in Indian-ethnicity woman born and raised in America, and I can tell you, I always valued having darker skin; my friends were always jealous of my "natural tan" and living in Arizona, I never shied away from the sun and embraced the seasonal changes where my skin would get much darker in the summer and lighter in the winter. I never got hateful comments from other Americans (or Mexicans, or Jamaicans, or any other ethnicity I grew up with in the States) until I went to India and would hear all of these open comments from middle aged to older women about how it was a "shame" I wasn't as light skinned as my mom. The origin for lighter skin being desirable is because back in the day, those who were worked in fields as laborers were darker skinned due to hours spent in the sun, whilst the upper class worked "higher" jobs in offices out of sunlight. Therefore, if you're darker skinned the impression is that you're lower class, which is obviously bullshit. My cousin was extremely fair skinned, and I remember everyone talking about her since she was 8 years old like she was a prized pig being raised for slaughter - "she's so fair, she will get a good husband and dowry". What a disgusting thing to say about anyone, let alone a child. She was so controlled by her aunt who was determined to basically auction her off to the highest bidder, that she eventually ran away and eloped with the love of her life, a simple but honest working man who loves her and has much darker skin. For years, she only talked to me and my dad, the two who supported her. I always will be proud of her for choosing her own destiny and heart, and breaking free of her controlled life. Unfortunately, this racism still is prevalent today in India and I am so grateful I grew up in America. We have our problems obviously, but India doesn't get called out on this overt racism as much as it should because people are afraid of criticizing "culture". I suppose it's human nature to always think "the grass is greener on the other side" with Western cultures wanting to be tan and Eastern cultures wanting to be fairer. However, racism under the guise of "culture" is still racism, and needs to be called out by fellow Indians and non-Indians alike.
Anti-blackness and colorism that is rampant in Asian cultures is not same as racism. It is plain and simple colorism.
Thank you so much for sharing. I hope more people speak up about the persistent racism. We have to shine a light on it.
thank you for sharing.
It's definitely an East vs West cultural thing, to do with the perception of beauty. Western cultures seem to like the tanned skin (as AM M pointed out, people in America are "jealous" of her skin tone). But it's the opposite in Asia. Darker skin is not considered desirable. Not just for Indians, but for Chinese all over Asia too. Some of my friends won't go swimming when the sun is up because they don't want to get tanned. Parents will tell their kids not to play too long out in the sun or to put on long-sleeves to do sports, and there are so many creams, cosmetics and beauty treatments out there to give "fairer", "whiter" skin. This applies for women and men, by the way.
@@mezzogal Yes this is true. Same for some of my Indian friends who won't go outside on a beautiful, sunny day for fear of "getting dark." When I used to visit my grandparents in India my aunt used to take me to the salon for bleaching facials, which is/was a common thing. I was 10! I believe only recently the company Fair and Lovely stopped selling skin lightening products, or at least reduced production, after acknowledging the racist history of them. It's also a "grass is always greener" syndrome where we want what we don't have (fair skin if we have dark skin, tanned skin if we have fair skin).
It's not about her skin tone but the undertone. She's cool toned and so pink looks way better than warm red on her. ❤️
I'm really impressed with how the consultant keeps the bride's preferences and feelings topmost in his mind. He gave her the encouragement to make the choice that was best for her, regardless of what her fiance's opinion was. I am really glad that he supported her choice. I also agree with the consultant, that a man should put his wife's preferences/opinions/feelings above anyone else's, and refrain from referring to his mother's preferences.
Same!!!
That is why you don't bring the future groom to the appointment at all! Maybe to coordinate their outfits together, otherwise, No! I wish I could have heard what his response was, that was really frustrating! I tried to wait in hopes they would translate, I even clicked on the subtitles, but no such luck! From reading the comments, I'm thinking maybe it was a good thing that I don't know what was said because if he was referring to her complexion and HIS MOTHERS preferences, that's extremely concerning. What a family she is marrying into😳🫣🙄, he is such a mama's boy🗣️, who needs to stand up for his bride and tell his mother, I support my future wife's decision! If she loves it, I love it! Mother, you had your wedding, this is our wedding now, you are invited, but the bride and groom decide what "we love, Her and I"!
Side note: This Bride is absolutely gorgeous, and stunningly beautiful. What a lucky Groom he is!
So glad the show shined a light on what brown-skinned Indian women have to endure. It’s rooted in classism, colonialism, & racism. The more it’s called out, the less prevalent it will be. Beauty comes in every shade! Ekta is beautiful already and that fuchsia dress enhanced it👏🏾
Divyak is a top notch stylist. The way he stands up for the bride and creates space for her to express her own self love in her skin got me emotional (as another daker skinned bride).
She’s radiating in the pink lengha. I love her smile and sweet spirit.
My word, the craftsmanship that goes into these Indian bridal garments never fails to drop my jaw. They are so stunning. She looked gorgeous in both colors, to my eye, but I am glad she chose the fuschia for herself.
I’m italian, but i’m falling love with Indian culture and wedding dress. They’re my favourite🥰🥰🥰
Right?!
Totally! I'm argentinian and those are AMAZING wedding dresses ❤️
siamo in due!
I mean to White people Indian culture and Italian culture might as well be same.
I couldn't understand what the fiancé said but I get bad vibes. She is so stunning and that pink looks amazing on her! Also, her lipstick is the exact same colour, so how does she think it doesn't suit her skin tone? Colourism has given her a complex.
He said his mother has always said there needs to be an element of red in a bridal wear. So he was a bit surprised when he saw her in pink as this is the lightest shade of pink. Maybe a darker pink would look better and the designer said stop confusing the bride. The bride said she liked the dress but was bit insecured about her skin tone and now the insecurity has come up
@@Almanama12 Thank you for the translation!
@@angrydonutface7420 you're welcome
Traditional indian bridal colours in North India are deep red and golden. His mother wanted to keep a traditional look for the bridal lehenga. Similar to christian mothers insisting on a pure white wedding dress.
He could have said you look amazing in it and then tell her why he wanted to see her in different colour not because she looked bad. And i do not get a good vibe from this boy. He will never support her if one day he has to choose between you and his family.
6:20 What Divyak said was so true about mama's boys.
When she wore the pink, it just brought out the joy in her. She had a big smile on her face.
He has the right to make opinions too.
@@ifykyk679 No, he doesn't. Its her dress and only her dress
Can you guys tell me what's the guy saying at 6:20 because I'm not Indian 🙏🏼
@@nomaniworu ``meri mummy ko yeh pasand hai`` meant my mom will like this one
@@rahul123715 thank you 🙏🏼
She looks absolutely radiant in that pink lengha.
Glad she chose what she really liked. She looks beautiful in both red and pink but she was glowing with happiness when she wore pink .
You could just tell that the pink one was her choice it was written all over her! I am glad she got what made her feel that special feeling people are suppose to have picking their wedding outfits out.
Indian wedding dresses/ styles are so amazing. Yall know how to dress and don't shy away from color
She was stunning in the PINK and the consultant brings out the best in every bride.
Shes gorgeous!! I am so thrilled she stuck to her guns and took the pink =D brought me to tears when I saw her again I wish them both much health, happiness, love, luck, joy and may they always have enough!
I am so glad she stuck with her instincts and did not go for the third dress just for the sake of her fiance. She is actually looking gorgeous in the pink lehnga.
Honestly, Red wasn't different. Pink is different. I liked what consultant said, don't tell your fiance , my mom is saying this. Good she didn't fell for the pressure and chose what she liked.
Absolutely... It isn't his mother's marriage.... Parents should understand this... I am not saying their input is unwanted.. But they should keep in mind it is not their day... It is someone else's... So their choice should be the priority.
It doesn't matter what you want or what your mummy want,what matter is what your bride like and what makes her happy .I am happy that she chose what made her happy and make her feel like a real happy bride . She is absolutely stunning and gorgeous 💖 and lastly ,everyone agreed with her choice ,that was a bonus .
So glad she picked the fuschia/pink, as it looked so much more delicate and light on her (the effect of the look not necessarily physical weight). Her personality as well as her looks suited the lighter shade as opposed to the heavy red.
I love the consultant guy...and the way he rolled his eyes when Paras mentioned his mom's concerns. Man, its 2022!!!!
That is so sad that she was told her skin is too dark. Her skin is beautiful and skin colors of every shade are beautiful
Ekta is such a co-operative, well spoken and beautiful girl 🥺😭 The entourage tho except her friend made my heart a bit nervous for her 😵
Thank you ❤
I so wish that any culture could wear these dresses. I'm from the US and we are pretty much stuck with some version of white. We are barely dipping our toe into color with pastels, like blush pink. These are so BEAUTIFUL! All the colors and embellishments are gorgeous!😍
Honestly if you wanted to wear a color, do it. The west is just so used to growing up with the traditional white but lately that's been changing.
Not going to lie to you, growing up I was always obsessed with white wedding dresses and a lot of other girls my age shared that sentiment, we were obsessed with everything we saw in movies from the west from weddings, prom, homecoming to name a few😳
@@erionlewis8006 We are starting to see color, but unfortunately we are a long way from seeing dresses like these. I also think these dresses are flattering for almost all sizes.
@@androidgames1927 I do think white is very nice for the wedding, but I would have loved to wear one of these dresses for the reception. I absolutely love all these beautiful colors and embellishments. Plus I think they look good on almost any shape bride. What the men wear is stunning too.
Ya we love our traditional dresses, white is just not something we prefer on brides.
The pink one is so stunning on her. I hope she reads these comments and realizes how beautiful she really is, just exactly as she is!! 💜
That pink was stunning!!!!
The groom said that his mother always said an element of red is important as women traditionally in most parts of India wear red dress. He said he imagined her in red and was surprised when he say her in lightest shade of pink, so maybe a darker shade of pink may look better. He didn't comment on her skin tone but the bride to be said that she had a complex related to her skin while trying the outfit and the fact he said that is brining that insecurity up.
The fuchsia pink looked absolutely beautiful on her. She is beautiful and her skin tone (like all skin tones) looked beautiful.
I'm a brown girl and I love my skin color. I don't tolerate any kind of discrimination towards my skin color. It's one of the things I cherish the most about myself. Be comfortable in your own skin! 💜
K Pop stan saying this is so so so funny.
@@dannytallmage2971 Yeah right. I'm not even a kpop stan. I only like BTS. And being a kpop stan doesn't mean that you become a koreaboo.
I am an Indian born and raised in India and i have exactly the same skin tone as her and i feel so sorry that she has so much insecurities surrounding her skin colour that it is a major factor for her while deciding her wedding dress because of how her lighter skinned grandma treated her. Colourism is more prominent amongst the older generations. I had some insecurities too growing up even though my grandma, mom and dad always said my skin is beautiful but I would still hear these subtle, irate comments from some random aunties. But then as i stepped into adulthood, I learnt to stop caring about what old fashioned aunties without a fashion sense said. I actually started loving my skin and i wouldn't have it any other way. All that matters is that you have healthy skin, tan and sun kissed skin is actually coveted around the world and even in India amongst the younger generation. I personally hate pink and wouldn't touch it but the pink one looked absolutely gorgeous on her.
And her fiancé was so irritating, he didn't care about easing away her insecurities and telling her the truth that the pink looks absolutely gorgeous on her but rather he only cared about what his mother wanted. But I am glad he didn't push her.
Truth hurtss....the old lady is gorgeous unlikee the bride😁
Her smile in the pink lehenga just spoke volumes! 💗
my favorites were the pink and white, she was right though the white was not suited to the wedding but she should really consider wearing white more cause it makes her skin pop. She is so beautiful literally why I watched the video
I really wish that there were subtitles for what he said at 6:20.
He said "My mom likes this"
He basically said never tell your fiancé that “MY mom likes this”
To people who didn't get the husband to be thoughts was that, he wanted if there would be touch of red because her mother likes red on the bride but he never forced the bride instead when she said that she likes the pink one better , he gladly accepted and said at the end of the day she's gonna wear the wedding dress and she should be comfortable with it... ☺️
She is right, pink was best and the work was awesome on it too
She is beautiful! I'm glad she chose pink! She looked young and radiant in it!
I am so happy we're getting to see Indian lenghas cause they are some of the most beautiful dresses!!
When the groom said his mother would prefer a red dress...ugh...ugh....this is not a dress for your mom to wear. Why does a man think of his mother's choices when it comes to something his wife wants to do. The consultant was so rightly annoyed by the man's statement. At least he came around in the end.
The bride loved the pink one and glad she went with it. However, if she was concerned about her dusky color, which is beautiful, I would let her try a silver dress- the same color as the necklace she is wearing with the pink dress- you can see how the colour of that necklace is bringing out her skin tone.
She looked pretty in red lehenga. She looks happier in pink. So glad that she chose her "happy lehenga".
Love to have a desi version of this show 🙊 Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰💚❤️
The studio lighting could have been better, making every dress look so dull on this beautiful bride.
Too bright, almost blinding
I actually think she looked gorgeous in the first and the second! that skin tone gosh it's perfect I hope one day she can see that too
What is wrong with her father! She is stunning! Skin colour is beautiful!! A lesson to all horrible parents. You can affect your child to the point they loose complete confidence. Her father should be grateful to not just have a healthy child but a beautiful one too !
@@JulieDeuxFois she talked about her father if u had watched it !🙄
@@DerekDogsforSentience She meant "dadi", not "daddy". "Dadi" means grandmother in hindi, she was talking about her grandmother😅
@@anitaanil6333 ohhhhh ty.
Well if it’s her grandmother that’s just as bad! What an evil grandmother! She’s a beautiful girl and her grandmother is the ugly one for saying such a thing. To be honest I think it’s possibly worse in some ways than if it was her father! As a woman herself she should know the importance of the confidence to another female she can and should give.
@@DerekDogsforSentience truth hurtss...and she is unfortunately veryy uglyyyyy🤮
4:55 This dess is stunning!
Lol when the fiancé starts talking about his mommy. I just can’t!!
Most of the Indian men are like this only because here they live with their parents life long (except if he is posted in some other city for job) so they want their wife to act according to the whims and fancies of their mothers because they all will be living under the same roof
Trust me when I say this, my husband is opposite of mumma’s boy. They portrayed him like one in the show. We were equally surprised to see the video. 😂
Fabulous consultant....beautiful bride.
She’s glowing on that Fuchsia Pink dress. 😍
I think the red colour is more beautiful then the pink one for her.
Bride's decision was the best decision. The dress looked amazing on her. Loved the bride
She looked fabulous in ALL 3 outfits 🤷🏾♀️🙏🏾👋🏾🇬🇧
I love the Indian clothes, the designs, all the embroidery and beading and the colours are just magical. So very special.
This finance is a strict no no. He's referring to mamma constantly. At the end he's saying yeah you look pretty. He's even suppressing his thoughts thinking what mamma would say.!
Lol if the fiancé (interesting misspelling there kind of giving it away) were a cocky White boy like me instead of a dorky swarth you’d be singing an entirely different tune.
that pink dress looks so stunning. It really makes her skin (which is lovely already) glow!
I'm so happy she tried the deeper, but still traditional red. I'm also glad she stuck with her instincts.
Absoluteeely love how she's glowing in the pink lehenga! My heart!
She picked the right one for sure!
She would be gorgeous in anything, but that fuchsia dress was amazing! So glad she chose it.
Please forget the skin colour. You are extremely beutiful & so too is her skintone. I would love her skintone. I loved the pink personlly but she is beautiful in anything
The red dress is so gorgeous.She looked amazing in it but the dress was wearing her..
Pink one was the one. Its like she was wearing that dress she was shinning.
My mumma got married in this exact shade of pink but it was saree. Year was 1993. We still use her wedding pictures as reference ❤️❤️
His fiancé needs to understand he's gonna marry her not his mother. It's her wedding.
I think the pink one looked best. She looks absolutely gorgeous in it!! She really shines!
This girl is STUNNING! Her unusual coloring - skin, tawny amber eyes and chocolate brown hair is so beautiful
The bride knows what she wants and no doubt she is glowing and looking beautiful in the pink lengha . @sayyestothedress 🇮🇳 @Kleinfeld ❤️
I think her skin tone is beautiful very golden and gorgeous
I love this stylist!
What was worse was her supposed best friend siding with her friend's fiance instead of being honest to her ....If she wanted to be so politically correct and agreeable, she could have atleast reassured her friend that " Both look nice, choose the one which speaks to you"
If the guy hadn't come around at last, the poor bride might have reluctantly chosen the last one
Aunty saying "yeh different hai yeh alag hai" to the most generic 'red' lehnga 😂 people have seen a million times a million brides have worn red is laughable honestly 😂 the pink one was alag that was beautiful especially on her.
She is a very beautiful young lady! That pink/fuchsia is stunning on her!
The fiancé is giving bad vibes… somethings a bit off
He was like my mom want this n that i mean your mom is not getting married it should be your wifes choice
That ekta girl is damn beautiful
She looks stunning in the fuchsia pink. Glad she chose what makes her happy.
Absolutely stunning in fusia pink 💗
6:13 very true
She made the perfect choice for her. The red somehow swallowed her up and looked more like the dress was wearing her, whereas the pink actually made her look radiant and she stood out more.
Brides skin color is beautiful! What is the bump on grooms forehead?
this was cutee. color theory is crazy man. she was literally radiating in the pink dress
OMG IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SHOW! Growing up in America, I always loved watching Yes to the Dress and the white dresses. But to see the same show relevant to me and people like me is amazing!
I am the same skin tone as her and also from Jamshedpur. I can relate so much to those skin tone comments people keep making. I always give time to my decisions when buying clothes as to if the colour would suit me or not
Ok but don't gatekeep.. Come on we want to know the prices!
I'm Irish-American and I have loved so many of the beautiful things I have seen Indian women wear. I wish I could wear these types of outfits, but I'm afraid someone might think I'm appropriating Indian culture. I wouldn't want to offend anyone, so I will just have to admire their beauty and craftsmanship from afar...
Honestly Indian people don't mind it at all! If you have an Indian friend they'd be more than happy to even get some clothes or earrings for you. As long as it's done with love and respect, feel free to dress up in a Kurti and some earrings. :)
So sweet! Coming from an Indian - you are always welcome into our culture and to enjoy Indian fashion xoxo
Actually we Indians love when any foreigners wear our clothes or try to follow our culture. So you can try i don't think anyone would be that offended. We would really love it
Ask an indian friend and they will doll you up. Personally I don't like how NRIs dress all tacky. Get a first generation Indian and you will look drop dead gorgeous
Oh my God, not at all. We love it when people of other cultures assimilate our culture and dresses. If I was your friend I'd help you pick out prettiest outfits and jewellery. I'm sure more than 80% Indians don't know what cultural appropriation even means.
her skin color is radiant and beautiful
She choose the right dress and guy ❤️
absolutely stunning ❤️😻 she look so happy in the pink dress, and I really love the consultant 🤩 like, he's advices for the bride choose the one that makes her happy and not the one that the entourage likes, it feels amazing 😍 because almost always the entourage disrespect the bride's wishes, and having someone that keep your eyes open for that, it's incredible ❤️ for more say yes to the dress India 😍
She is gorgeous, I mean blimey love you have perfect skin. I wish I looked like you.
Pink looks better in her;,the first one is beautiful, but with white and golden veil ✨
Ekta is gorgeous and paras is such a nice and supportive guy he respected her choice
i think the pink looked absolutely gorgeous on her but i think the red would have looked beautiful because indian bridal makeup uses lots of warm golden tones and bronzer that shine under camera lights and in front of the ceremonial fire, so with makeup and the gold jewellery, the red lehenga would have made her glow like a Queen instead of dull!
Were there two different pink dresses? The dress at 2:50 looks like a completely different shade of pink than the dress at 8:23.
Nope it was only one pink outfit. Maybe beca if the lights it seems different
So made for tv as the host say “can’t believe skin colour is a topic” but the whole cast has light skin and chosen for their light skin. The bride is not even dark!
I mean she’s definitely dark but it is hilarious that the guy is caked in skin whitening cream.
Hermosa en el color rosa!!!! Afectos desde Uruguay 💕🇺🇾
She looks gorgeous in that pink. That red overpowered her. In dusty pink, we can see her natural beauty.
The first outfit was stunning and actually matched her complexion perfectly.
Better you mention the price of lehenga as well, is this meer to bride budget Or not which is very very important
