OMG queen Cassie is having her Carrie Bradshaw trying on Vivienne Westwood wedding gowns and showing us when she becomes a gorgeous bride 👰♂ 😍 💖 💕 💗 ❤️ 👰♀!!!
I had the exact same experience. After many tries at a white dress, I ended up getting married in a black and gold Marchesa gown. It was me. And it was perfect. Do what makes you happy, babe. ❤
I FELT THIS SO HARD! I actually ended up crying the first time I went to look for my dress and the sales associate thought I was crying because I loved the dress but I didn’t want to look crazy so I went along with it lol I hope you find your perfect dress!
I bawled my eyes out trying on wedding dresses because I felt “weird” so I went in a more me direction Embroidered pink and gold dress with long sleeves and lace 😊
As a bridal MUA, I tell people all the time GO WITH YOUR HEART! Your wedding is for you, don’t do what you’re supposed to do, do what feels right! I suggest going to a well known bridal store that Carrie’s various brands and working with a stylist. Also, weddings are so emotional. Thanks for sharing with us and good luck on your search!
I got married 15 years ago and had a similar experience. Nothing I tried on felt like me, and I didn’t feel the happiness that others felt when trying on wedding dresses. I had tears streaming down my face, weeping in private in the fitting room. I realized it was because I was trying to force myself in a stereotypical mold that others created… once I shed that albatross, the skies opened up, and I was able to create something for myself that I loved. I will say, though, with all of the stress, emotions, ridiculous money spent, and the event only lasting 4 hours… I wish I would’ve skipped the wedding extravaganza and spent the money on an experience of a lifetime traveling with my husband as we began our new chapter together. Whatever you choose to do, I wish you happiness!!! 🌈
Cassie! I had the same experience when I was trying on wedding dresses! I was getting so frustrated and overwhelmed, because all the dresses were pretty, but not my STYLE. I started getting worried I would never find one that I loved, and would just end up in a dress that I didn’t even like. I started crying at one shop, and the sales lady and my mom thought I was crying out of happiness… But it was the complete opposite! I ended up picking a dress that I really liked, and as I got it altered to fit my body and added special touches to it, I fell in love with it more and more. I think the key is picking a dress that you love, and adding details to it that make it you. Good luck!!! Can’t wait to see what dress you pick!!
I can't wait to watch this wedding dress journey with you - stick to your gut reactions to the dress styles, Cassie. Your fashion instincts rarely serve you wrong, and in the end, you will be in a dress that allows your personality to shine through!
I love this! You have to be true to your core. Maybe your perfect dress isn't a "wedding dress" at all. You push the boundaries and create your own style, why would your wedding dress be any different? Follow your gut, listen to your feelings, and do whatever the F you want. We are all here for it! Thanks for bringing us on the journey with you!
Not shocked at all that you are eying Vivienne Westwood Bridal. Been following long enough to know you love VW & the pieces you have return that love. 😎☕💋
Hello Cassie. My goodness. Cassie, when it comes to bridal dresses. When u know u know. The right Bridal dress will pop out at u, & the price will be right. Not to worry. God bless u dear. U have got this. ♥♥♥.
Food for thought. You can LOVE Vivienne Westwood or another designer and not end up in one of their dresses. You need that "this is it moment"! Don't put restrictions on yourself. You are a beautiful young woman, Cassie. The right dress, and you will look and feel fabulous! My son is getting married at the beginning of November. We found his fiancee's dress - a designer sample - and we were all in tears. Just knew it was the one. This was after a long day of trying on beautiful wedding gowns that looked great but just weren't the one. You take a breath and carry on, young lady. You will find "the one"! How fun that we get to tag along on this journey with you! Enjoy it!
I love your channel, Cassie. It would be interesting to see (in a vlog) what "mummy" would chose as your wedding dress vs. you. We all know that you will make the final decision!❤ I think it would be fun content! ❤❤
Would honestly love to see you go for a non-traditional non-white wedding dress - as other people have said, you should just do what makes you happy/feels right for you.
Here is the prediction, your wedding dress would bedazzled and skin hugging elegance. Loving to witness your wedding dress journey, thanks for sharing this special moment with us ❤
Omgggg your dad is just as adorable and fun as you are, somehow I'm not surprised 😊Congrats on kicking off this chapter, excited for more wedding content!
Have you ever watched "Say Yes to the Dress?" Randy Fanoli is right in NYC (Kleinfeld). They have a whole selection of various designers, and you might have some fun there ... I guess there's the feeling (crying) when you find your dress ... DEFINITELY get the one you want. I purchased a lesser one, and still, to this day, many years later, think of the first one I loved. You're going to be a lovely bride!
I echo everyone's sentiments here! It makes so much sense that you can't imagine yourself in something that is "expected" of you, like a classic bridal dress or a suit, if that is not your style. I got married two years ago and couldn't possibly imagine myself in a tux (we didn't want a formal wedding anyway), so I went for a cream hand embroidered Bode jacket and black pants, and added baby blue Converse high tops. I felt like myself 100% and I've worn all the pieces separately on a few occasions since then.
This brought back memories. I went through a lot of different styles. Some of the dresses I tried looked hilarious once I put them on. I couldn't stop laughing (it was better than crying, believe me). I ended up finding The Dress and it ended up being a style hadn't considered, but once it was on, it was perfect. Once you find The Dress, you know.
I know that when you don’t feel your best there’s nothing anyone can say to can change your mind but i still have to say it: you looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL in ALL of those dresses! And if you look this good in ones you hate I cannot wait to see how you look the dress you end up choosing 🤍
Try, try, try on until you get the feeling within you and know the dress is the ONE for you. When I got married (second wedding, first time I did not have a church wedding/ traditional gown) I knew I wanted sexy (I was in my 30's) but also longed for the ballgown/ long train effect. After trying on many, many dresses, I finally found one that satisfied both of my wishes and in my price range. I bought a stunning mermaid dress, fully beaded antique white/ cream dress with a gorgeous detachable train. Enjoy the dress shopping experience, can't wait to see what you choose.
Congratulations on your engagement! When I got engaged, I went to a few popular wedding dress shops in NYC (Kleinfeld, RK Bridal, Designer Loft, L'Fay, etc.). I purchased a wedding dress at RK Bridal and ended up cancelling it because although it was classic, it wasn't the right one. I found my beautiful dress at L'Fay. It was a Berta dress with a cape (I bought the cape first because it was so me, lol). Absolutely stunning, no regrets. Even to this day, I got married 5 years ago, I think my dress was the most perfect dress for me and I love it just the same as I did when I first saw it. Wedding dress shopping can be tiresome but remember to always listen to your gut!💍
Thank you for sharing some of your bridal preparations! I agree none of the dresses you showed were you. I can’t wait to see the ONE! I’m wishing this entire process is a smooth, peaceful one Cassie!❤
I used to work in bridal. You love crystals.. I see you with a sort of crystal overlay on the skirt to add your classic pizazz , or crystal on the bodice. And a one inch wide strap, with a squared neckline.
My first appointment I came home crying from disappointment. I got lucky and found my dress at a smaller boutique in an absolutely gorgeous Sophia Tolli. It was champagne color, small train, crystal waist, with tiny crystals all over, and lace, and then a matching lace veil….I felt like a princess! You will find your dress, and when you do, you will cry and you will look at a picture of that dress every single day with excitement for your big day. Stay true to what YOU feel beautiful in, not what others expect of you, that’s my advice. Have a great time searching! Make note of what you think looks good and what doesn’t and give those notes to each person that helps you. You WILL find your dress ✨💖
My BFF sent me a pic of her dress (we lived in different countries) and I hated it, so said something like “if you love it honey, I love it” she knew me well enough to know that I hated it, I certainly didn’t want to hurt her but I wasn’t going to lie to her either. I arrived in Texas for her wedding and she said we are going somewhere but she wouldn’t tell me where. We arrived at a wedding dress shop, I was somewhat confused. Anyway she went into the changing room and came out in a dress that promptly made me cry, it was gorgeous… she said “now that’s the reaction I want” we both laughed and she looked incredible on the day ❤ you’ll find the dress lovely, soak it all in and go with your gut. xx
Galia Lahav Cassie, Galia Lahav! Stunning designer. They do custom anything and their corsets are also top level. Thin corsets, but so strong and structured. Bridal Reflections NYC carry them.
Omg 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏when I saw the thumbnail I gasped 😃 it’s just so exciting & I love being along for the ride ❤️🩵🩷💚🧡💜 Just remembered there IS a dress out there for you. DO NOT compromise!! You 1000% deserve to look & feel your best on your special day 🕊️💒💍🍰🍷👰🏻♀️
I know how you feel! I dont want my dress to feel like a wedding dress at all! I’ve ended up going for something that’s not white, lacy or satin and I’m NOT doing a mesh veil.
Obsessed with this wedding content!! ❤️ Been watching your videos for years and I am just so happy for you! Thank your for your raw honesty and showing your vulnerability. Completely relatable! Can’t wait for more!!! Cassie 2 $$ getting married…Let’s Go!!!
Hi there thanks for sharing this experience. I don't know why but I somehow feel you will look amazing in a Christian Siraino custom made. Hope he's on your list to try out wedding dresses. Have a wonderful wedding dress making journey ❤❤
Ooowee.. an updated wedding video! The process of picking a dress will be a roller coaster that you’ll look back at in bliss. Vivienne Westwood would be a treat to see you pick, however I’m confident it will be a delight seeing you in whatever dress you pick. It’s interesting looking at a dress and when you try it, your feelings and thought process change. You’ll feel it in your soul when you find the dress you love. You might even cry. Six digits for Versace.. they’re not letting us go to rehab. Loved the video Cassie ~ Xx
This is so true on the stark white! My bridal dress I found was a champagne/gold satin and it was soo soft, comfortable, romantic and old Hollywood glam I saw it across the room and knew I had to try it on and I felt so beautiful in it! It was my dream wedding dress designer since I was 14 I got it from a woman who sold dresses out of her home and she said I've been waiting for someone to buy this dress I'll give it to you for $200. It was the biggest blessing and all my experiences elsewhere I felt like you did "will I ever find what I like?" And it's emotional. Can't wait for your video of the magical story of when you finally find it and you will love the story that comes with it!
There will be so many feelings during this process. It's a major life event. But also, our society has put, frankly, an absurd amount of importance around the wedding day - the dress, the cake, the decorations, and on and on. It's a bit of a racket. Because at the end of the day, it is just one day - one party, and what is really important and life changing, life defining are all of the days that come after it. Sending all of the positive and calm energy your way.
How interesting! I assumed you would automatically go for an embellished dress since that is so much a part of your style and vision. Looking forward to seeing more of this series! Very excited for you! ✨✨
I knew you wont disappointed us by just buying a random expensive dress just to look trendy, you'll find the most YOU dress very soon, cant wait to see that. VVW is a good start but obv not your core, keep finding we are all here rooting for you. ❤❤❤❤
I absolutely felt the same way!! it made it harder because my friends and mom loved every single dress. I, controversially, ended up making now husband come with me because he genuinely didn't care at all about the dress 🤣
Thank you, put those bridal companies like Gucci in their place! That price was a college degree at an Ivy League. It’s about the event and not the dress (well- yes it is about the dress - too an extent!) good for you for letting yourself have the experience. The no pictures is stupid! You are right on with that! I don’t like strapless either. Mine had off the shoulder cap sleeves. You have a great ability to rationalize through the process- stay true to yourself and don’t cave because you feel like it needs to “look like a typical wedding dress”.
How fun! Not getting married anytime soon but have just attended a wedding last week. It’s nice to know what the you by rate is like for Viv but none of those dresses are very you at all! I would have been shocked if you really fell for them
Let’s goo!! Wedding prep can be so overwhelming when you get into the details, but just keep your eyes on the big picture 😊 you’ll definitely create something beautiful 🙌
Understand !!!! I had the same feeling and wondered if I wasn’t bridal. I wanted the beauty without the costume or gimmicky, feeling. Don’t worry……. You will find it and you won’t have to compromise one thing at all.
Omg! I just realized that you look like Rita Ora and vice versatility!!!! Has anyone ever told you that? You guys are doppelgängers!!!! I wish I could find mine 😊
I had many weird wedding dress try on situations. It is a visceral experience for sure!! You will find something beautiful that feels like you- I’m sure of it!! ❤🎉
The first dress I tried ended up being THE ONE. Shocked the hell out of me. The boutique was around the corner from my job and I stopped in without an appointment. It was a weekday and they weren't busy so they let me browse. I didn't see anything on the floor that called to me. I wandered towards the fitting area and saw a dress hanging back there where someone had pulled it to try. As soon as I saw it, I KNEW. That was the only dress I tried there. I did my due diligence and looked at several other boutiques but came back to dress #1.
Have you tried ivory color for your dress? Most of the wedding shops that I went to had exclusively ivory. Hardly anyone had stark white white. It looks really nice and still wedding but not so in your face. Really tho u look good in them all❤❤
I’m going wedding dress shopping on Saturday for the first time and this video couldn’t be better times! I’m obsessed with Vivienne’s off the shoulder ruched look so so much. You look amazing 🤍
You look great in almost everything so don't stress about the Vivienne Westwood bridal dress you said was 'too bridal'. With the extra skirt added it was channelling a pavlova so don't worry it's not you it's the dress! Good luck for the hunt 🥰
Good morning Cass Cass!!! Can’t wait to come on this journey with you, it’s going to be the most fabulous day of your life, I know you’re going to look beautiful and fashionable 😊.
Onwards n upwards Cas ❤ you WILL find your dress and “those” emotions will come thru - u gonna have hair up and enveloped in tiny crystals? Soo excited to see ur preps 🥰 x x x
I feel the same about strapless wedding gowns. They always remind me of someone wearing a towel after a shower. I agree with you with all those you tried on. Something about them was like trying too hard. Have you looked at Victoria Beckham dresses? They are very classic yet a certain edge imo. Hope you find the one that you connect with. Don’t settle on your big day. ❤
When I went dress shopping everyone kept asking what I wanted but I was really struggling with not knowing since I have never tried one on! I liked certain styles that wound up looking terrible on me. Try everything! A wedding dress is really a process of elimination. You now know a plain white satin is not you! Keep the videos coming!! Best of luck!! ❤
My dress was Alfred Angelo cost £750, 30 years ago. That was a LOT of money for us then. We had a payment plan set up. Still fits me now and looks beautiful. If i had the room id display it ❤
The vlog weve all waited for ❤, whatever you choose just make sure it makes you cry in a good way, dong settle for anything other than you're dream. Now please can we see your mum shopping for her outfit.
Oh this was good. Although you are a VW girl maybe that traditional style of dress and fabric is not you. Go for what you like- we all have been wondering about the fabulous dress you would wear. Personally I thought your dress would be lace mesh body con with Crystal sewn on for glitz maybe a removable over skirt that is very structured/ editorial looking and veil? Stunning headpiece (tiara). You are so cool Ca$$ie and your sense of fabulousness (the apple didn’t fall far from the fabulous tree) is spot on, we know you will be stunning from head to toe and then some. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey 😊
Oh Cassie! You are going out of your confort zone in this process. I got married 5 years ago, and I took only my mom to the dress appointment because I wanted to chose fast and leave. But once I saw what I wanted (like the 8th dress haha), I felt safe and happy! And you will too in your day!
I mean, just looking at you trying those wedding dress just made me teared up you’re so beautiful you look just like angel. I just cannot wait for you to have your wedding dress. I think you’re gonna look the most beautiful bride in the world .
Cass have you ever thought of reaching out or looking at the brand Mirror Palais, they're a New York based brand. I don't know but feel maybe a custom made one could work for you at a reasonable price. If you reach out in owner, could be an option.
The prices of wedding gowns can really cost a fortune these days. Just don't get totally swept away in it all when selecting a gown or else you will lose your sanity! LOL! And remember that you will wear the gown only once and not for a very long time. When my best friend got married, around 37 years ago at around age 32, she went out to look for a gown and was driving out Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, saw a white Greek goddess-looking gown in the window at either Neimans or Saks, parked her car, went inside, found the gown, tried it on, and bought it off the rack. It was around $1,200 total. It was a sleeveless silk chiffon flowing gown, draped beautifully and elegantly, no frou-frou, no puffiness, no stiffness, etc. It was easy to dance in at the reception. My friend was able to wear the gown to some events years later as the gown had been classified as one that could be worn as a wedding gown or not as a wedding gown. And at her wedding, she didn't wear a veil, but instead went for a very dainty Greek goddess style gold headband wreath. To this day, she's still 100% glad that she chose that gown and still has it. As for the wedding, she had it at her cousin's house (no bridesmaids), then a buffet reception was at the Top-Of-The-Hilton restaurant inside of the Hilton hotel. The big money went on the overseas honeymoon as I think they flew off to an island in Greece. Fast forward to friend and husband's daughter who got married a little over a decade ago, and for 50 guests at a wedding and reception held outside at a vineyard, it was $50,000. As for the gown, another absolutley gorgeous gown, but found at one of the many vintage boutiques here in L.A. The daughter was going for an old Hollywood glamour look and totally pulled it off in an elegant, vintage lace gown. She and her dad looked as if they were floating down the vineyard path to the area where the minister and harpist were waiting. Remember that you don't only have to look for a gown at wedding planner places. Friends of mine who had really gorgeous wedding gowns, found them outside of the usual wedding places. Are you going to be wearing the same gown at the second wedding in Ghana? I remember you commenting about also doing a wedding there. Or will you go for something more West African? Weddings in either West Africa or here by West Africans are beautiful. Good luck in your search for a wedding gown and remember that it has to be you, like second skin. Greetings from Los Angeles
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sure that other women probably have the same feelings. It isn't always easy to find the right dress that feels right on you. I am sure that this is just part of the journey and that your dream dress will be found/created.

I felt like I was about to do just that and have to play along with it 😂 glad it’s not just me who’s felt this way though! 💖
I bawled my eyes out trying on wedding dresses because I felt “weird” so I went in a more me direction Embroidered pink and gold dress with long sleeves and lace 😊

I lacey white or cream turtleneck long sleeve sounds very elegant and not too mainstream

I fell in love with my gown in a bridal magazine. I just knew. You will too.
Omg 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏when I saw the thumbnail I gasped 😃 it’s just so exciting & I love being along for the ride ❤️🩵🩷💚🧡💜 Just remembered there IS a dress out there for you. DO NOT compromise!! You 1000% deserve to look & feel your best on your special day 🕊️💒💍🍰🍷👰🏻♀️
Try a sparkling veil not so much tiara but subtle raised with little height. You will find the dress,thanks for sharing your journey 😅😊
I see you in a clean, sleek, long sleeve turtleneck gown.
Hair snatched back......amazing ❤
Fun times!
One suggestion, stark white was not my friend either. You might try of white or cream. That made all the difference for me
Truly appreciate you sharing this experience with us ❤️ 🤩 take your time and don't put pressure on yourself 🥰
Thank you 😭💖
I know how you feel! I dont want my dress to feel like a wedding dress at all! I’ve ended up going for something that’s not white, lacy or satin and I’m NOT doing a mesh veil.
CASSIE STOP I AM SCREAMING THIS IS SO WONDERFUL 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
What a beautiful time in your life.. enjoy every minute
Thank you so much 🥹💖
Obsessed with this wedding content!! ❤️ Been watching your videos for years and I am just so happy for you! Thank your for your raw honesty and showing your vulnerability. Completely relatable! Can’t wait for more!!! Cassie 2 $$ getting married…Let’s Go!!!
And we are here for it!!!
Hi there thanks for sharing this experience. I don't know why but I somehow feel you will look amazing in a Christian Siraino custom made. Hope he's on your list to try out wedding dresses. Have a wonderful wedding dress making journey ❤❤
Ooowee.. an updated wedding video! The process of picking a dress will be a roller coaster that you’ll look back at in bliss. Vivienne Westwood would be a treat to see you pick, however I’m confident it will be a delight seeing you in whatever dress you pick. It’s interesting looking at a dress and when you try it, your feelings and thought process change. You’ll feel it in your soul when you find the dress you love. You might even cry. Six digits for Versace.. they’re not letting us go to rehab. Loved the video Cassie ~ Xx
You’re so right! I’ll know it when I find it! And the Versace price almost killed me off 😂💖
It would be SO ICONIC if you collabed with SAY YES TO THE DRESS. One of my fav shows to watch :)
Agree ;)
This is so true on the stark white! My bridal dress I found was a champagne/gold satin and it was soo soft, comfortable, romantic and old Hollywood glam I saw it across the room and knew I had to try it on and I felt so beautiful in it! It was my dream wedding dress designer since I was 14 I got it from a woman who sold dresses out of her home and she said I've been waiting for someone to buy this dress I'll give it to you for $200. It was the biggest blessing and all my experiences elsewhere I felt like you did "will I ever find what I like?" And it's emotional. Can't wait for your video of the magical story of when you finally find it and you will love the story that comes with it!
There will be so many feelings during this process. It's a major life event. But also, our society has put, frankly, an absurd amount of importance around the wedding day - the dress, the cake, the decorations, and on and on. It's a bit of a racket. Because at the end of the day, it is just one day - one party, and what is really important and life changing, life defining are all of the days that come after it. Sending all of the positive and calm energy your way.
I’m a minimalist these days but my maximalist alter ego is definitely present. Happy to represent.
I see you in “logo ho”!!! Go all out and do you! I can’t wait to see it! 😍😍😍😍😌
❤❤❤ It is so nice that you are sharing this process with us!!! ❤❤❤ enjoy it! 🥂
How interesting! I assumed you would automatically go for an embellished dress since that is so much a part of your style and vision. Looking forward to seeing more of this series! Very excited for you! ✨✨
I knew you wont disappointed us by just buying a random expensive dress just to look trendy, you'll find the most YOU dress very soon, cant wait to see that. VVW is a good start but obv not your core, keep finding we are all here rooting for you. ❤❤❤❤
I absolutely felt the same way!! it made it harder because my friends and mom loved every single dress. I, controversially, ended up making now husband come with me because he genuinely didn't care at all about the dress 🤣
I guess it’s just superstition that he can’t see you in the dress before the wedding ;)
Thank you, put those bridal companies like Gucci in their place! That price was a college degree at an Ivy League. It’s about the event and not the dress (well- yes it is about the dress - too an extent!) good for you for letting yourself have the experience. The no pictures is stupid! You are right on with that! I don’t like strapless either. Mine had off the shoulder cap sleeves. You have a great ability to rationalize through the process- stay true to yourself and don’t cave because you feel like it needs to “look like a typical wedding dress”.
How fun! Not getting married anytime soon but have just attended a wedding last week. It’s nice to know what the you by rate is like for Viv but none of those dresses are very you at all! I would have been shocked if you really fell for them
Let’s goo!! Wedding prep can be so overwhelming when you get into the details, but just keep your eyes on the big picture 😊 you’ll definitely create something beautiful 🙌
Thank you for the encouragement 🥹💖
So excited to see more wedding content!!! We’re here for you Cassie!!
Understand !!!! I had the same feeling and wondered if I wasn’t bridal. I wanted the beauty without the costume or gimmicky, feeling. Don’t worry……. You will find it and you won’t have to compromise one thing at all.
Omg! I just realized that you look like Rita Ora and vice versatility!!!! Has anyone ever told you that? You guys are doppelgängers!!!! I wish I could find mine 😊
Can't wait for when you put on a certain dress and realize it's "the one". Thank you so much for bringing us along Cassie! ❤
The “say yes to the dress” moment ;)
I had many weird wedding dress try on situations. It is a visceral experience for sure!! You will find something beautiful that feels like you- I’m sure of it!! ❤🎉
I’m so happy that it’s not just me that felt like that! I’m sure I will 💖💖
CAAASSIIEEEE !!! I can’t contain my excitement !!! 🎉
🙈🙈🙈💖
The first dress I tried ended up being THE ONE. Shocked the hell out of me. The boutique was around the corner from my job and I stopped in without an appointment. It was a weekday and they weren't busy so they let me browse. I didn't see anything on the floor that called to me. I wandered towards the fitting area and saw a dress hanging back there where someone had pulled it to try. As soon as I saw it, I KNEW. That was the only dress I tried there. I did my due diligence and looked at several other boutiques but came back to dress #1.
You’re on the right track get what you fell works for you…….even if it isn’t a traditional wedding dress. You wedding and you have to live with it.😊
Have you tried ivory color for your dress? Most of the wedding shops that I went to had exclusively ivory. Hardly anyone had stark white white. It looks really nice and still wedding but not so in your face. Really tho u look good in them all❤❤
Loved this and soo helpful! About to start dress shopping too eek
Omg Congrats❤❤, whichever dress you choose you’ll look absolutely impeccable
You’re so kind! Thank you 🥹💖
I’m going wedding dress shopping on Saturday for the first time and this video couldn’t be better times!
I’m obsessed with Vivienne’s off the shoulder ruched look so so much.
You look amazing 🤍
You look great in almost everything so don't stress about the Vivienne Westwood bridal dress you said was 'too bridal'. With the extra skirt added it was channelling a pavlova so don't worry it's not you it's the dress! Good luck for the hunt 🥰
Good morning Cass Cass!!! Can’t wait to come on this journey with you, it’s going to be the most fabulous day of your life, I know you’re going to look beautiful and fashionable 😊.
Awww! Thank you so much! It’s definitely an exciting time!💖
Onwards n upwards Cas ❤ you WILL find your dress and “those” emotions will come thru - u gonna have hair up and enveloped in tiny crystals? Soo excited to see ur preps 🥰 x x x
I feel the same about strapless wedding gowns. They always remind me of someone wearing a towel after a shower. I agree with you with all those you tried on. Something about them was like trying too hard. Have you looked at Victoria Beckham dresses? They are very classic yet a certain edge imo. Hope you find the one that you connect with. Don’t settle on your big day. ❤
When I went dress shopping everyone kept asking what I wanted but I was really struggling with not knowing since I have never tried one on! I liked certain styles that wound up looking terrible on me. Try everything! A wedding dress is really a process of elimination. You now know a plain white satin is not you! Keep the videos coming!! Best of luck!! ❤
My dress was Alfred Angelo cost £750, 30 years ago. That was a LOT of money for us then. We had a payment plan set up. Still fits me now and looks beautiful. If i had the room id display it ❤
So exciting!!! I’m very happy for you guys!!! Can’t wait to see the rest of the wedding videos 🎉
How exciting!!!!!!
The vlog weve all waited for ❤, whatever you choose just make sure it makes you cry in a good way, dong settle for anything other than you're dream. Now please can we see your mum shopping for her outfit.
Definitely! 💖
Are you planning a Kleinfield visit? I mean you already are in NY! I think that is a good oportunity for you to try different styles!
Oh this was good. Although you are a VW girl maybe that traditional style of dress and fabric is not you. Go for what you like- we all have been wondering about the fabulous dress you would wear. Personally I thought your dress would be lace mesh body con with Crystal sewn on for glitz maybe a removable over skirt that is very structured/ editorial looking and veil? Stunning headpiece (tiara). You are so cool Ca$$ie and your sense of fabulousness (the apple didn’t fall far from the fabulous tree) is spot on, we know you will be stunning from head to toe and then some. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey 😊
Congrats again hun!💘 may I suggest Zuhair Murad, I can see you rocking one of his dresses!! You will be fabulous 😚
Oh Cassie! You are going out of your confort zone in this process. I got married 5 years ago, and I took only my mom to the dress appointment because I wanted to chose fast and leave. But once I saw what I wanted (like the 8th dress haha), I felt safe and happy! And you will too in your day!
I mean, just looking at you trying those wedding dress just made me teared up you’re so beautiful you look just like angel. I just cannot wait for you to have your wedding dress. I think you’re gonna look the most beautiful bride in the world .
Cass have you ever thought of reaching out or looking at the brand Mirror Palais, they're a New York based brand. I don't know but feel maybe a custom made one could work for you at a reasonable price. If you reach out in owner, could be an option.
are you going to change for the reception?
Love this video! Thank you for bringing us on your wedding journey Cassie 😍💍
I been waiting for this video!!!!!! ❤
The prices of wedding gowns can really cost a fortune these days. Just don't get totally swept away in it all when selecting a gown or else you will lose your sanity! LOL! And remember that you will wear the gown only once and not for a very long time.
When my best friend got married, around 37 years ago at around age 32, she went out to look for a gown and was driving out Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, saw a white Greek goddess-looking gown in the window at either Neimans or Saks, parked her car, went inside, found the gown, tried it on, and bought it off the rack. It was around $1,200 total. It was a sleeveless silk chiffon flowing gown, draped beautifully and elegantly, no frou-frou, no puffiness, no stiffness, etc. It was easy to dance in at the reception.
My friend was able to wear the gown to some events years later as the gown had been classified as one that could be worn as a wedding gown or not as a wedding gown. And at her wedding, she didn't wear a veil, but instead went for a very dainty Greek goddess style gold headband wreath. To this day, she's still 100% glad that she chose that gown and still has it.
As for the wedding, she had it at her cousin's house (no bridesmaids), then a buffet reception was at the Top-Of-The-Hilton restaurant inside of the Hilton hotel. The big money went on the overseas honeymoon as I think they flew off to an island in Greece.
Fast forward to friend and husband's daughter who got married a little over a decade ago, and for 50 guests at a wedding and reception held outside at a vineyard, it was $50,000. As for the gown, another absolutley gorgeous gown, but found at one of the many vintage boutiques here in L.A. The daughter was going for an old Hollywood glamour look and totally pulled it off in an elegant, vintage lace gown. She and her dad looked as if they were floating down the vineyard path to the area where the minister and harpist were waiting.
Remember that you don't only have to look for a gown at wedding planner places. Friends of mine who had really gorgeous wedding gowns, found them outside of the usual wedding places.
Are you going to be wearing the same gown at the second wedding in Ghana? I remember you commenting about also doing a wedding there. Or will you go for something more West African? Weddings in either West Africa or here by West Africans are beautiful.
Good luck in your search for a wedding gown and remember that it has to be you, like second skin.
Greetings from Los Angeles
Maybe she’ll wear a Kente?
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sure that other women probably have the same feelings. It isn't always easy to find the right dress that feels right on you. I am sure that this is just part of the journey and that your dream dress will be found/created.
Omg soooo gorgeous !!!! Stop itttt❤❤❤
