instead of buying lehenga in us u can catch a flight have a 1 week stay in India shop enjoy and get a better looking lehenga . all this u can do with a fraction of the amount u have just paid .bridal lehengas in India starts from 100 dollars and u can get an over the top lehenga for a max of 500 dollars
Pratika Reddy if you want a nice lehenga in India you’re going to have to pay 1000 dollars USD. The really cheap ones are not that great. I recommend staying with family though if you visit India because it’s cheaper
@@pratikareddy3402 True, I recently went to Delhi to buy a lengha and most of the good non bridal lenghas were around 100 dollars and one can buy a gorgeous bridal one for just 500 dollars.

The atmosphere is very awkward, to make it better you could incorporate some other shop assistants with more bubbly personalities to make it less awkward
I completely agree the owner can wear something other than a black shirt and pant in a wedding outfit shop. She is so cold and her reaction is so bad if you disagree with her. How ever when she smiles she looks so much better.

Then we go with friends, family they offer cold drinks, chai and one by one start showing after introduction of events and how many saris needed!!! Some times we even go with jewelry and bangles set to match with saris!!! Than to other shop than to other!!!! Sometimes they offer food samosas!!! So much fun!!!

Tradition, tradition, tradition. No matter what culture you are from, who you are marrying thats all you hear on so many wedding shows. Its about being happy and not having any regrets on the new life you are about to start...start a new tradition 😘
“Tradition is peer pressure form dead people” one of my fave sayings. Don’t get me wrong we have a lot of tradition in my Scottish family as well but yeah…
In 4000USD you can easily get a gorgeous Sabhyasachi Lehenga.. No jokes! I think they deliver in US. Also there are stores that keep Indian couture wear too. Can check those out as well.👍🏼
There outfits are so outdated , in India no one wear these type of design n that heavy outfit . I think they also update there outfit ,it seems like there are selling there unsold stock to their customer and even customer don't have right to choose the dress ,shia choose 3 dress n among them they have to choose one
Yeah that was sad. The navy blue and rose gold is trending in India though. I've seen it in every boutique. It's common now. But yes others are outdated but pretty. I would say the 1st bride had gold, blush and navy as theme. So there are many colours to play with. But the owner chose all navy blue based like we can have a navy blouse with blush bottom of lengha or something. Even the masi was like where are the colours? But she chose a pretty lengha. I was upset for the 2nd bride tho. She picked the 3rd because they didn't like the other 2. Like no choice. White and red lengha would do you know🤦♀️
Agreed .the top of first dress left me disappointed. My sis in law had a blue and beige lehenga, for around 50000 rs and that lehenga is so much better than this 4000 dollar lehenga
I am Christian but I love these bewautiful lehengas, the beautiful brides and handsome grooms, the wonderful loving families. I stumbled onto these videos and am so happy that I did. Move over, SYTTD!! Dianne
@@AS-jo8qh Most of india's Christians are south indians. So they typically wear a white saree, and then a typical south Indian kanchipuram saree for the reception I think. I've only ever known one North indian Christian woman (she was my biology teacher like 3 years ago) and she got married in a typical white western gown.
Shia always tends to put down anyone who has an opinion...honey... U need to b quiet...they are overpaying you to begin with And why do u hv the same outfit on every episode?
This was discussed in an earlier episode comments thread. Shia wears black (it isn’t the exact same shirt though) every episode because they want the focus to be on the bride. And you should know by now that the drama is all scripted that’s why Shia steps in and gives her opinion.
I would bet "say yes to the dress" is somehow trademarked for television. All the other gown shows I have seen use a different version of this question. It's probably to stave off legal issues.
Agreed, if you look at the lighting of the first episodes, they're not like super awesome, but they didn't make everything look so washed out and grey.
I came across this channel last night and I am totally hooked! I've been binge watching it =) Love it!! Beautiful dresses! Congratulations to all the Bride's. HELLO from New Zealand x
Lisette should’ve come with one of her in-laws or her fiancé, it’s great she brought her mom and sister but they don’t have a lot of knowledge or experience in Indian Hindu weddings. It would’ve made the dress shopping experience a lot easier for her
Right... but imagine how her family feels that she's having a Hindu wedding? They are probably Catholics, and the only thing they can hope for is that the bride at least wears something that is more typical in their culture... everything else is sadly, for them, going to be Hindu.
right? My family would freak out if I chose that lehenga for my wedding. White and black are strictly not allowed. I hope people didn't give her grief at her wedding.
I'm revisiting this episode and it seems that although the bride said its a fusion wedding at times it sounded like it was to be a traditional Indian wedding. I can tell mom and sister had no explanation of why red lehenga is bridal and white is typically a no-no. This part of the episode made me mad because there is no info on exactly what kind of wedding this will be, if it's truly fusion or is it traditional indian, and what his family's take is on it as well as her family's opinion.
Also she could have chosen a different color. Maybe south Indian style of off white and gold, or pastel colors like a blush pink. It sounds like she did a poor job of explaining to her mom and sister what to expect when it came to the wedding outfit
Rewatching all these old episodes while waiting for more season 4 episodes to come out. I'm not Indian and not married to one and I don't live in America so I could never even visit the store but I just love watching this series! All those beautiful dresses!! Love!
The Colombian bride should have had a catholic wedding with her traditions and then a Hindu wedding with her husband becoz from what it sounds like with the family pressuring Columbian expectations it seems like she isn’t having both weddings
@@R14iify There is no conversion procedure in Hinduism. People who wants to follow it can just do it on their own by following the essence of the Hindu culture. This bride probably also is doing the same by staying true to the tradition. I agree that in this case, she could have done a Christian wedding to keep her family happy and a Hindu one to keep the in-laws happy. She could have been happier that way.
In Gujarat - plenty of brides wear white and red for their weddings. She could have done the white dress with the red veil. But that was for Shivangi to suggest. But the bride looked so good in all of the outfits - and I really hope they're having a Catholic wedding too!
I absolutely fell in love with this show even though I'm African American but I've always thought that they make such beautiful brides woooooow and not too mention that I'm a Jersey girl 💘💗💕
Second bride ended with the perfect gown...she's blessed to have such a humble mom and sister. Let's hope she remembers she culture after getting married.
Lisette looked beautiful in the red lehenga. It went so well with her skin tone. I think she should have come with one of her in-laws. I wonder if they couldn't have had an American ceremony and a Hindu reception, or Hindu ceremony and an American/Catholic reception. Her family understandably feels some type of way.
*I absolutely love the beautiful detailed work they put into their dresses!!! I'd love to have a traditional style American wedding dress in a champaign, or light pink with this type of embroidery and beading detail in white and silver!!! The detailing they put into their dresses, and even their everyday style clothing is just stunning!! And I also love that they wear colorful clothing!! Nothing more boring than plain style clothing in natural colors lol!!*
Shia is a crappy sales person. For the second bride I would have advised that 1. Indian brides don't always wear red at their wedding. Is this what your in-laws want? 2. I would have brought out a red and white lehnga. Maybe in a more western silhouette 3. Explained to the family why Hindu weddings tend to not do white. Its not only about the "theme".
The colour white for us Latinos isn't just about the "theme". From what I've been told growing up, if you have red (even in flowers at a wedding) it means you're unpure (not a virgin), which is very old school way of thinking. I think she should have had two dresses, one Indian and one western :)
I don't understand all the hate in the comments sections of their videos? I really enjoy seeing all of the beautiful clothes. And Shia isn't a sales girl, she's the head designer. We could all do with a little less snark these days.
My favourite part is the sound of all that metal embroidery hitting the floor as the assistant show off the fablious gowns. Yes, metal threads weigh a tonne!
"How you're going to be seen by other people" - such a desi auntie/uncle thing to say. It's all about what others think, no matter what the individual wants.
I've stopped reading the comments on this show's comment section! On EVERY VIDEO people complain about how the shopkeeper is ripping off the people, how "India" has better clothing for cheaper prices, how boring the shopkeeper is, and how the show is over scripted! WHY are you people so f%&&//g NEGATIVE! You're horrible! Not only that, you're stereotyping Indian people as over critical, snide, controlling and bent on tradition. There is no joy in reading these comments because most people on here think they know better. It's worse than Say Yes to the Dress! People check yourselves on your negativity!
OMG. THANK YOU. This is exactly why I am so sick of the comments in this channel too. Yeah sure, go to India and take advantage of low-wage labour, spend a few hundred dollars on an airfair and a few hundred more on hotels, food, transport and freight... and suddenly you're spending just as much as you would in an American boutique. People really need to get over themselves.
@@renlish Thank you! I am so glad someone agrees! People on here act like they have no home training or empathy for others. It's like being in the film Mean Girls. It's not flattering and makes Indian people look shallow!
fredrika27 i second that. I think the people in here don’t know that it costs more to make and the lehenga in the US more than in India. It’s like comparing rent in India to rent in the US and wages in India to wages in US. Plus she can charge as much as she wants as long as people are willing to pay for it, It sure is expensive but I wouldn’t call somebody a rip off, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it from there. I’m just here for the show.
It may be negative. But its true. The same workmanship in India would cost much less. Nazrana probably gets all their outfits from India at those lower prices and sells it at a ridiculous premium in the US
Try to impress real Indian bride with in three dresses She🤓 :- these are the three dresses I decided to show you Indian bride :- who are you to decide show me the remaining 100 dresses I will decide from it
Mouni Ka usually these types of shows, they have a full consultation before the show, they show what they want or don’t want so it’s all planned before the episode to make it more seamless. You don’t just walk into the store and get on the episode, you are handpicked.
I’m so glad this bride had the courage and the stamina to stand up to her auntie and that the mother supported with the bride wanted. She looked amazing and so beautiful in the outfit she chose and she’s going to wear her hair partially down, if not completely down at the wedding, so it’s not gonna look like she’s “scantily dressed! It was a very modest and modern top and I think the auntie was being too ridiculous trying to push her away instead of listening to what the bride wanted. Which by the way, I love the second dress as well. It was stunning on the bride just as much and it hurt me that the auntie could not see that the bride loved it, too! Thanks to the consultant for standing up for the Bride as well!!!!!!
Interesting relationship dynamics in the first bride with her mother and aunt. The atmosphere immediately froze when the aunt arrived. The whole disapproval act from the aunt seemed to be a control issue. She wasn't there from the start, so she wanted to be the center of attention - even more than the mother. The aunt never answered Shia's question about "touching their feet." It was as though the aunt was pushing her opinion and desires, but once the bride wheedled and genuflected to her aunt, the aunt gave her blessing. Fascinating.
I love this show. I admire and respect Shia for her honesty, confidence, willingness and courage to support the bride when she is being pressured to buy something that she doesn't want, and, the incredibly beautiful gowns. I would be honoured to meet her and wear one of her amazing outfits.
My friend had two weddings, there was no way she was going to discount her heritage or traditions for an Indian wedding, and her fiancee who is Indian wasn't going to not have a Hindu wedding. They made it work, everyone was happy, cultures combined for each wedding. Her Indian outfit was bought by her mother in law and it was no way over embroidered or heavy like the ones shown in this video. I think she got it from India.
I know that it's America and things are relatively costly but spending more than 2 lakhs for just one dress and that too quiet ordinary looking and out of fashion is just too much. Doing all the shopping in India is a better deal. And why was Shia so surprised when the Masi said that the bride's gonna be touching feet at the reception ?😂
@@ishathakor I just Googled flights to New Delhi from Newark: Over $3,000. That's not cost effective, especially if you throw in hotel and food expenses.
The masi was horrible. What her in-laws have to say has nothing to do with her blouse choice. As a gugrati girl, don’t bring gugrati tradition into this as an excuse.
This is actually a fairly normal concern in many american indian families. Many of our families are still living in the 1970s India that they grew up in haha
@@camilouwalk they overlapped it. In the OG episodes years ago it was Shivangi... For me it's just weird and different that they changed it, but at the end of the day it's just a name, so I don't really care.
I'm so happy they have a Latina fusion episode! It makes me proud to see our sisters trying to blend with other cultures and follow traditions and make their new family content. ❤
I just told my husband, I should have gotten a dress there. I have never seen such beautiful beading and embroidery. The dress she chose in the gold beading was stunning. I did get a beautiful dress online and loved it, but this is in a whole other category!! ❤️
I love seeing Indian peoples comments. Westerners are gushing over everything and we are over here like "yeh tho ho he nahi sakta. Aise kaun shopping karta hai" lol
I think Lisette looked great in the red outfit! I'm glad they could reach a compromise to please her mother with the champagne one because it looked equally elegant :)
Finally an update 😊 Also I agree with the masi why only navy colour. She needs more colour. Wish pink with navy or more colours were shown. But the dress she picked out was gorgeous. All the colours of the theme in the dress.
lilmizee zee Because showing your belly button has been a part of Indian culture for centuries. It’s not really a sexualized body part. Although I know some brown parents who still frown over wearing western crop tops but are fine with cropped shirts when it’s traditional wear. IDGI lol
I like the more laid back atmosphere of this show rather than a lot of hype and drama. Different opinions still seem respectful and controlled on the shows which I enjoy viewing.
OKAY guys, stop giving Shia so much trouble in the comments! She DESIGNS 90% of these clothes herself! She doesn't put anyone down! She's doing her best to provide a good sales experience, and I would rather have a laid back and HONEST sales person helping me then fake enthusiasm ANY DAY. Theres a reason her shop is successful, stop being so disrespectful. Don't you people realize she's a real person with feelings who reads the comments! She does a wonderful job, and she has a lovely personality.
Please show the dresses in more detail, full length, back and front, bride twirling a round perhaps; and then show more footage of the actual wedding in more detail.
I know nothing about Indian culture. Used to the typical white wedding dress, but always thought most white dresses were boring. These dresses are not boring at all! They are Beautiful!
If the second bride wasn't gonna wear white why was she trying them on in the first place🤨?! Also, this place is a rip-off. I wish these women could just come to Chandni Chowk or Bhuleshwar😐
For the second bride, they’re only doing a Hindu ceremony? They should do two ceremonies, one Hindu and one Catholic ceremony so that she can also wear a white gown. I get money is a factor but then there will be less issues with the dress color. One of my relatives who married a Catholic girl did that, had two wedding ceremonies, and a fusion reception. Obviously idk these people’s story but I feel like the wedding should be more fusion to be fair to both sides because it sounds like they’re doing the wedding the way the Indian side wants. The last fusion dress was nice but it looks a bit outdated and conservative
That’s what I’m thinking of doing too. I’m Latina Christian and my fiancée is Indian Hindu and am thinking to do both ceremonies and a fusion reception on the same day to get it over with all at once.
Nazrana yeah, I advise doing that, although do whatever you feel like, but don’t wear white to the Hindu ceremony, as Hindus and other religions in India wear white at funerals
Nazrana You might get really tired though, and changing your hair and makeup three times is another issue. What my relative did was they had the Hindu ceremony a day earlier then the next day (or it could have been two days later I don’t remember) they had the Catholic ceremony in the afternoon and the reception right after. It worked out because the bride only had to wear the white dress all day since they did the Hindu ceremony the day before. That way you can wear both a beautiful traditional Indian gown but also the classic white dress. I find the fusion dresses aren’t that nice or special personally speaking. And during the reception it was “fusion” in the sense where the groom’s side wore Indian wear and the bride’s side western wear, but there were both Indian and western music and dance during the reception.
Yes I felt sorry for her the 3rd dress was her only option as they didn't like the other 2. The dress was very outdated too. Also maybe they can't afford 2 weddings
These dresses are so outdated and ugly. Not to talk about the price: it's a total rip-off, you can get better dresses with a fraction of the price back in India
I’m confused about why her showing her shoulders is considered “too much”... I’ve seen many Indian Gujarati brides and women who wear lehngas and saris that show the entire belly and have a large opening in the back which shows a lot of skin. So why is showing the shoulder considered bad and not proper when they already show a lot of skin in traditional leghngas and saris? I’m honestly confused.
@@Anupamagoel the bride isn’t Muslim though, so yeah. I know Indians (non Muslim Indians) are allowed to wear clothing like that. Just because I wear hijab does not mean I expect the world, whether hijabi or not, to dress more like I do. To each their own :)
I like that Shia fights for what the bride wants when the family tries to takeover the appointment.

There is an awkward tension between her and the clients
She gotta be sweeter duhh
Meril To be fair every formal/wedding dresses store I've been too had that vibe lol.
She actually owns the store and designs the dresses...
@@evangeline77x let me find out lol. really ?
You seem jealous..
@@beepboop7090 I guess yaa but Ive seen too much of 'Say Yes To the dress '...its just set a standard for drama😂
“Are you ready to be a Nazraana bride?” is the Indian version of “Are you saying yes to the dress?”
Not a good one though
Jerushah Dunaboyina 😂😂😂
For sure!
So what...
I would bet "say yes to the dress" is somehow trademarked for television. All the other gown shows I have seen use a different version of this question. It's probably to stave off legal issues.
The lighting on this show is terrible! get some normal lights not bright white ring lights.. you cant see the real sparkle of the dresses
Agreed, if you look at the lighting of the first episodes, they're not like super awesome, but they didn't make everything look so washed out and grey.
I came across this channel last night and I am totally hooked! I've been binge watching it =)
Love it!! Beautiful dresses!
Congratulations to all the Bride's.
HELLO from New Zealand x
Lisette should’ve come with one of her in-laws or her fiancé, it’s great she brought her mom and sister but they don’t have a lot of knowledge or experience in Indian Hindu weddings. It would’ve made the dress shopping experience a lot easier for her
Right... but imagine how her family feels that she's having a Hindu wedding? They are probably Catholics, and the only thing they can hope for is that the bride at least wears something that is more typical in their culture... everything else is sadly, for them, going to be Hindu.
right? My family would freak out if I chose that lehenga for my wedding. White and black are strictly not allowed. I hope people didn't give her grief at her wedding.
As a Colombian i Say not 'cos in owr culture any person from the husband family or less the husband can see the dress it is Bad luck
I'm revisiting this episode and it seems that although the bride said its a fusion wedding at times it sounded like it was to be a traditional Indian wedding. I can tell mom and sister had no explanation of why red lehenga is bridal and white is typically a no-no. This part of the episode made me mad because there is no info on exactly what kind of wedding this will be, if it's truly fusion or is it traditional indian, and what his family's take is on it as well as her family's opinion.
Also she could have chosen a different color. Maybe south Indian style of off white and gold, or pastel colors like a blush pink. It sounds like she did a poor job of explaining to her mom and sister what to expect when it came to the wedding outfit
Rewatching all these old episodes while waiting for more season 4 episodes to come out. I'm not Indian and not married to one and I don't live in America so I could never even visit the store but I just love watching this series! All those beautiful dresses!! Love!
I really respect that the 2bride was concerned about both the tradition of india and spanish...and finally picked a dress😘
I am now seeing more and more bad reviews about the sales person. Hopefully it is getting through to the TV. , who film this. 🙏🙏
The Colombian bride should have had a catholic wedding with her traditions and then a Hindu wedding with her husband becoz from what it sounds like with the family pressuring Columbian expectations it seems like she isn’t having both weddings
But she converted so she wants to adopt the Hindu traditions
At first i thought she was indian.
@@R14iify there is nothng like conversion in Hindu religion. There is no procedure as such.
@@R14iify There is no conversion procedure in Hinduism. People who wants to follow it can just do it on their own by following the essence of the Hindu culture. This bride probably also is doing the same by staying true to the tradition. I agree that in this case, she could have done a Christian wedding to keep her family happy and a Hindu one to keep the in-laws happy. She could have been happier that way.
@@oops6661
Maybe it's too expensive to have two weddings...
In Gujarat - plenty of brides wear white and red for their weddings. She could have done the white dress with the red veil. But that was for Shivangi to suggest. But the bride looked so good in all of the outfits - and I really hope they're having a Catholic wedding too!
Yes that's what I kept thinking the whole time. I was sad that she chose only 3 options. Like they didn't like 1st two so went with the 3rd.
I absolutely fell in love with this show even though I'm African American but I've always thought that they make such beautiful brides woooooow and not too mention that I'm a Jersey girl 💘💗💕
Im Sri Lankan and love african american woman
These lehangas are so last century , don’t see point of paying so much for it !🙄
Second bride ended with the perfect gown...she's blessed to have such a humble mom and sister. Let's hope she remembers she culture after getting married.
Lisette looked beautiful in the red lehenga. It went so well with her skin tone. I think she should have come with one of her in-laws. I wonder if they couldn't have had an American ceremony and a Hindu reception, or Hindu ceremony and an American/Catholic reception. Her family understandably feels some type of way.
*I absolutely love the beautiful detailed work they put into their dresses!!! I'd love to have a traditional style American wedding dress in a champaign, or light pink with this type of embroidery and beading detail in white and silver!!! The detailing they put into their dresses, and even their everyday style clothing is just stunning!! And I also love that they wear colorful clothing!! Nothing more boring than plain style clothing in natural colors lol!!*
I love the fact that the first bride stick to her guns
Yessss
Shia is a crappy sales person. For the second bride I would have advised that
1. Indian brides don't always wear red at their wedding. Is this what your in-laws want?
2. I would have brought out a red and white lehnga. Maybe in a more western silhouette
3. Explained to the family why Hindu weddings tend to not do white. Its not only about the "theme".
I think it would me much better for her to buy a western gown in red color.
The colour white for us Latinos isn't just about the "theme". From what I've been told growing up, if you have red (even in flowers at a wedding) it means you're unpure (not a virgin), which is very old school way of thinking. I think she should have had two dresses, one Indian and one western :)
@@moonwater7985 in Hindu culture, you wear all white in mourning. So white at a wedding can be viewed as a hard no for some.
Hira Qureshi yes!
South Indian brides often wear white for their weddings - my mom wanted me to wear a white sari.
I don't understand all the hate in the comments sections of their videos? I really enjoy seeing all of the beautiful clothes. And Shia isn't a sales girl, she's the head designer. We could all do with a little less snark these days.
I am with you.
My favourite part is the sound of all that metal embroidery hitting the floor as the assistant show off the fablious gowns. Yes, metal threads weigh a tonne!
Your Indian attires are very old fashioned please think about updating your trends. The host can be a bit more friendly and warm.
If you watch it on 1.25x speed it doesn’t feel as cringe 😂
great idea!
THANK YOU!
Omg! So true!!!!
Thanks
Thanks a lot
"How you're going to be seen by other people" - such a desi auntie/uncle thing to say. It's all about what others think, no matter what the individual wants.
Does someone here watch Simply Nailogical's videos? Shia always reminds me of her whenever she says 'What do you think?!'
I do 💕 Holo Anisha
Hae schi ....i thought the same every time...
Yes I just comment that in other video 😂
She sounds exactly like her
That champagne and rose gold is exactly the color scheme I want for my wedding. Spectacular!
"Are your in-laws gonna be okay with this"
It's 2019 "maasi", leave that regressive nature behind. Setting a bad rep for Indians 😑
ketki deshmukh IKR
That's not the case. I have in-laws who could give everybody a run for their money with the kind of regressive thinking they have!!!!!
Sujata Narayan but they shouldn’t be encouraged, that’s the point.
@@priancamnm3499 Doesn't help when it's just one person raising her voice against it whilst the entire family thinks it's normal...
Exactly!
Omg the first girl the 3rd dress is beautiful on her
Indian bridal fashion is SO much more impressive than the standard white dress and veil.
Why can't you admire another culture without denigrating your own?
I've stopped reading the comments on this show's comment section! On EVERY VIDEO people complain about how the shopkeeper is ripping off the people, how "India" has better clothing for cheaper prices, how boring the shopkeeper is, and how the show is over scripted! WHY are you people so f%&&//g NEGATIVE! You're horrible! Not only that, you're stereotyping Indian people as over critical, snide, controlling and bent on tradition. There is no joy in reading these comments because most people on here think they know better. It's worse than Say Yes to the Dress! People check yourselves on your negativity!
OMG. THANK YOU. This is exactly why I am so sick of the comments in this channel too. Yeah sure, go to India and take advantage of low-wage labour, spend a few hundred dollars on an airfair and a few hundred more on hotels, food, transport and freight... and suddenly you're spending just as much as you would in an American boutique. People really need to get over themselves.
@@renlish Thank you! I am so glad someone agrees! People on here act like they have no home training or empathy for others. It's like being in the film Mean Girls. It's not flattering and makes Indian people look shallow!
Totally agree with you guys
fredrika27 i second that. I think the people in here don’t know that it costs more to make and the lehenga in the US more than in India. It’s like comparing rent in India to rent in the US and wages in India to wages in US.
Plus she can charge as much as she wants as long as people are willing to pay for it, It sure is expensive but I wouldn’t call somebody a rip off, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it from there.
I’m just here for the show.
It may be negative. But its true. The same workmanship in India would cost much less. Nazrana probably gets all their outfits from India at those lower prices and sells it at a ridiculous premium in the US
I wish we could see more of the weddings at the end, with the whole completed look (with makeup and Jewelry)!
put a red shawl with the champagne dress. would look beautiful
Try to impress real Indian bride with in three dresses
She🤓 :- these are the three dresses I decided to show you
Indian bride :- who are you to decide show me the remaining 100 dresses I will decide from it
Mouni Ka usually these types of shows, they have a full consultation before the show, they show what they want or don’t want so it’s all planned before the episode to make it more seamless.
You don’t just walk into the store and get on the episode, you are handpicked.
😂😂😂🤣🤣 actually
Holly Boa I am trying to say how fake this show is
😂😂 ofcourse
I love how you support the bride always
I’m so glad this bride had the courage and the stamina to stand up to her auntie and that the mother supported with the bride wanted. She looked amazing and so beautiful in the outfit she chose and she’s going to wear her hair partially down, if not completely down at the wedding, so it’s not gonna look like she’s “scantily dressed! It was a very modest and modern top and I think the auntie was being too ridiculous trying to push her away instead of listening to what the bride wanted. Which by the way, I love the second dress as well. It was stunning on the bride just as much and it hurt me that the auntie could not see that the bride loved it, too!
Thanks to the consultant for standing up for the Bride as well!!!!!!
Interesting relationship dynamics in the first bride with her mother and aunt. The atmosphere immediately froze when the aunt arrived. The whole disapproval act from the aunt seemed to be a control issue. She wasn't there from the start, so she wanted to be the center of attention - even more than the mother. The aunt never answered Shia's question about "touching their feet." It was as though the aunt was pushing her opinion and desires, but once the bride wheedled and genuflected to her aunt, the aunt gave her blessing. Fascinating.
dude chill, the whole thing is scripted.
The first bride made the perfect choice...She looked stunningly beautiful in that gown.
I love this show. I admire and respect Shia for her honesty, confidence, willingness and courage to support the bride when she is being pressured to buy something that she doesn't want, and, the incredibly beautiful gowns. I would be honoured to meet her and wear one of her amazing outfits.
My friend had two weddings, there was no way she was going to discount her heritage or traditions for an Indian wedding, and her fiancee who is Indian wasn't going to not have a Hindu wedding. They made it work, everyone was happy, cultures combined for each wedding. Her Indian outfit was bought by her mother in law and it was no way over embroidered or heavy like the ones shown in this video. I think she got it from India.
I know that it's America and things are relatively costly but spending more than 2 lakhs for just one dress and that too quiet ordinary looking and out of fashion is just too much. Doing all the shopping in India is a better deal.
And why was Shia so surprised when the Masi said that the bride's gonna be touching feet at the reception ?😂
I am sorry but all the lahangas that were picked looked so common . I mean like the design and everything. I didn't like anything
You know everyone can't just get into an airplane and go to India for a shopping spree! Please respect the people's budgets!
@@fredrika27 for the amount of money they're paying, they can easily pay like $100 more and buy everything in india
Is the touching of the feet standard in a Hindu wedding, or is it an archaic practice? Maybe that's why Shia was surprised?
@@ishathakor I just Googled flights to New Delhi from Newark: Over $3,000. That's not cost effective, especially if you throw in hotel and food expenses.
The masi was horrible. What her in-laws have to say has nothing to do with her blouse choice. As a gugrati girl, don’t bring gugrati tradition into this as an excuse.
Fashion Nymph it’s FAKE drama scripted to make the episode more interesting
This is actually a fairly normal concern in many american indian families. Many of our families are still living in the 1970s India that they grew up in haha
it got so tense as soon as she entered the boutique
Stop👏🏻calling 👏🏻yourself 👏🏻shia 👏🏻SHIVANGi👏🏻
Whats wrong in that her personality is till the same
In the old episodes it seemed like she often introduced herself as Shia...
@@camilouwalk who cares its just a name
@@camilouwalk they overlapped it. In the OG episodes years ago it was Shivangi... For me it's just weird and different that they changed it, but at the end of the day it's just a name, so I don't really care.
It's a nickname. If she's more comfortable with that, I dont see anything wrong.
I'm so happy they have a Latina fusion episode! It makes me proud to see our sisters trying to blend with other cultures and follow traditions and make their new family content. ❤
I just told my husband, I should have gotten a dress there. I have never seen such beautiful beading and embroidery. The dress she chose in the gold beading was stunning. I did get a beautiful dress online and loved it, but this is in a whole other category!! ❤️
I’m Mexican but I love the Indian culture they are all about family I love that 💜 and especially there wedding dresses omg the red dresses 😍😍😍😍😍
Bring joy to the moment. Don't sow seeds of doubt.
The bride looks more like her aunt than her mum
Lisette seems like such a sweet person.
Lisette surrounding are racist or just dumb an indian bride should be in red or any colour close to red not white . White is for funeral
How can anybody choose dress with only 3 options...specially wedding dress....too less options ...n Shea is so bossy
We aren’t privy to how they video and delete. It’s a hash hour show...
I love seeing Indian peoples comments. Westerners are gushing over everything and we are over here like "yeh tho ho he nahi sakta. Aise kaun shopping karta hai" lol
I think Lisette looked great in the red outfit! I'm glad they could reach a compromise to please her mother with the champagne one because it looked equally elegant :)
Did Shia just said she'll go back and pick what she like for the bride???😰😰😱😱😱😱😅😂🤣🤣😂
Finally an update 😊
Also I agree with the masi why only navy colour. She needs more colour. Wish pink with navy or more colours were shown. But the dress she picked out was gorgeous. All the colours of the theme in the dress.
The off shoulder issue is such BS most people nowadays wear strapless tops to receptions.
And they show their belly and OK with that🤔
lilmizee zee Because showing your belly button has been a part of Indian culture for centuries. It’s not really a sexualized body part.
Although I know some brown parents who still frown over wearing western crop tops but are fine with cropped shirts when it’s traditional wear. IDGI lol
@@cookiesarelikecream so showing some shoulder should be fine then lol.. Act as if you can see their boobs.. Hahaha its all abit mad
.
Remember it is a show. Need some drama from old traction’s and like to clash with the new.
@@evelinholmes6401 no, thats actually a very normal conversation which every woman will have while shopping for indian wear.
I like the more laid back atmosphere of this show rather than a lot of hype and drama. Different opinions still seem respectful and controlled on the shows which I enjoy viewing.
OKAY guys, stop giving Shia so much trouble in the comments! She DESIGNS 90% of these clothes herself! She doesn't put anyone down! She's doing her best to provide a good sales experience, and I would rather have a laid back and HONEST sales person helping me then fake enthusiasm ANY DAY. Theres a reason her shop is successful, stop being so disrespectful. Don't you people realize she's a real person with feelings who reads the comments! She does a wonderful job, and she has a lovely personality.
Please show the dresses in more detail, full length, back and front, bride twirling a round perhaps; and then show more footage of the actual wedding in more detail.
The patterns are beautiful. I honestly want to go there just admire the work.
Reena would have looked so pretty in a light pink or a blush color outfit rather than the blue one :(
but after all, it's all about the bride :)
I love it when the assistant throws the skirt onto the floor and it goes WHOMP! So heavy....
This girl looks beautiful! I love what she picked! ❤️
I just found this today so binge watching the videos but I have always loved Indian gowns and saari's
Awe, she looked very happy with the 3rd dress. That look made even me happy, just to see that look on her face.
Good girl. You stuck up for what you wanted. Even your mother likes it. Congratulations and best wishes for your future. 👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏💐💐
When she came after wearing the pink gown she just lit up ,she's so pretty
I know nothing about Indian culture. Used to the typical white wedding dress, but always thought most white dresses were boring. These dresses are not boring at all! They are Beautiful!
Good that the colombian girl picked the rose gold..it was Perfect😍
1st bride
3rd dress is gorgeous
Glad she stuck to it!
2nd bride
Glad the pics showed her wearing red too
I like its diff they showing dresses in natural light but these kinda outfits beautiful when loads of lights hits em.
I am so happy because there is a colombian bride in the show....
If the second bride wasn't gonna wear white why was she trying them on in the first place🤨?!
Also, this place is a rip-off. I wish these women could just come to Chandni Chowk or Bhuleshwar😐
Chitra Adkar she’s trying to make both sides happy parents and bride
That off the shoulder dress is gorgeous.
OMG! Serenas navy blue dress she tried on is sooooooo pretty. Its gorgeous
Shia’s opinion: invalid
Enjoyed Reena, Mom & Masri/Aunti.
Love fact that Respecting traditions & Culture w/Wow factor.
For the second bride, they’re only doing a Hindu ceremony? They should do two ceremonies, one Hindu and one Catholic ceremony so that she can also wear a white gown. I get money is a factor but then there will be less issues with the dress color. One of my relatives who married a Catholic girl did that, had two wedding ceremonies, and a fusion reception.
Obviously idk these people’s story but I feel like the wedding should be more fusion to be fair to both sides because it sounds like they’re doing the wedding the way the Indian side wants.
The last fusion dress was nice but it looks a bit outdated and conservative
That’s what I’m thinking of doing too. I’m Latina Christian and my fiancée is Indian Hindu and am thinking to do both ceremonies and a fusion reception on the same day to get it over with all at once.
Nazrana yeah, I advise doing that, although do whatever you feel like, but don’t wear white to the Hindu ceremony, as Hindus and other religions in India wear white at funerals
Nazrana You might get really tired though, and changing your hair and makeup three times is another issue. What my relative did was they had the Hindu ceremony a day earlier then the next day (or it could have been two days later I don’t remember) they had the Catholic ceremony in the afternoon and the reception right after. It worked out because the bride only had to wear the white dress all day since they did the Hindu ceremony the day before.
That way you can wear both a beautiful traditional Indian gown but also the classic white dress. I find the fusion dresses aren’t that nice or special personally speaking.
And during the reception it was “fusion” in the sense where the groom’s side wore Indian wear and the bride’s side western wear, but there were both Indian and western music and dance during the reception.
@@namritasingh6444 white and red is the colours of gujarati wedding so even if she did white lengha with red duppatta would do
Yes I felt sorry for her the 3rd dress was her only option as they didn't like the other 2. The dress was very outdated too. Also maybe they can't afford 2 weddings
These dresses are so outdated and ugly. Not to talk about the price: it's a total rip-off, you can get better dresses with a fraction of the price back in India
Absolutely!!!!
Reena's dress was one of the most beautiful I've seen in this show and this coming from a South Asian.
The top ( house) with that boat neck off the shoulders is amazing, stunning
I’m confused about why her showing her shoulders is considered “too much”... I’ve seen many Indian Gujarati brides and women who wear lehngas and saris that show the entire belly and have a large opening in the back which shows a lot of skin. So why is showing the shoulder considered bad and not proper when they already show a lot of skin in traditional leghngas and saris? I’m honestly confused.
agreed!
Some people are just more conservative I guess.
I don't think u should speak like that...When u r in a hijab
@@Anupamagoel the bride isn’t Muslim though, so yeah. I know Indians (non Muslim Indians) are allowed to wear clothing like that. Just because I wear hijab does not mean I expect the world, whether hijabi or not, to dress more like I do. To each their own :)
Reena’s dress was so pretty. It was the right choice.
Absolute works of art!
i love these episodes and the fact that its in jersey makes it better :)
Although i am not Asian/Indian and i am single and it's unlikely, at 53, that i will ever marry, I would LOVE to try on these beautiful clothes!!
I love the third dress on the first bride, it was breath taking 😍😍😍
Just stunning all of them!
Fashionista and Dress designer extraordinaire... I love her so much. She really is so good.
