Him finding his shirt in 30 minutes is so real😂
I was so jelly man 😂😂😂
@@makeupbymonicaaI got both wedding sarees in 30 mins too!! ( in Singapore)
I hate these moving from place to place 🤪
I totally agree with you they should have more sizes and be more inclusive. I feel sometimes that the local shops do a better job of carrying more sizes than the designer labels.
Reality of big designers seems pathetic when it comes to inclusivity
6:10 as soon as I saw the colours I gasped! Stunning!
🤭🤭🤭
I love the fact that both Monica and Chris will be celebrated at the wedding and we can see it throughout their journey so far. I know traditionally is a big day for the bride and sometimes that translates to trying to control everything, so it's refreshing seeing Chris involved and even better, seeing him caring about the details, 'cause at the end of the day, the wedding is a celebration of their love 🙂↕️
I love that you are sharing your wedding journey Monica because A. it is your wedding and B.. as a brown girly myself I had NO idea that these amazing, stunning lehengas existed so Thank you.
Monica, so traditionally Indian garments (other that sarees) are custom made, there are artisans all over the country waiting to customize the outfit. So its common practice for Indian brides to pick a design and get it tailored for their body. These outfits also takes months to make, so it doesn't make sense for designers to make every shape and size. You look gorgeous in every outfit btw!
I think it would make much more sense for them to have a few different sizes- like what would fit 0-6, 8-14, 14-20, etc. it’s extremely difficult to envision what an outfit is going to feel like just by laying it on yourself.
Other options could be carrying plain colored blouses in multiple sizes and to have wrap around lehngas that would fit any waist.
Girl that glitter eye in the car at 5:50 is to die for ✨✨
That Mangalsutra is so gorgeous! It’s nice that there are different styles of it so that you can really make it your own!
As a curvy girl myself, i feel seen and represented watching your videos. Seeing you being confident in your own skin, body makes me feel confident 🥹
We are always used to see S or XS side models for wedding collection lehangas, bust size tops has been my problem for a long time, as you said most of the wedding attires are just Bra with a skirt. Those are definitely not for curvy girls !!
Gurlll that black with gold dress on 2:54 looks perfect for you😍😍😍
Monica.. its okay to be short. And being short doesn’t make you look bad at all. The dress you wore 9:50 if this isn’t beautiful than what is Monica???!!!! Remember its you who’s making the dress beautiful and the person who loves you would always find you beautiful. And you look fabbb in these outfits. Humesha khush raho!
0:58 I agree I love a dark red or blue colour on me it REALLY compliments my skin. Most of my friends wore a pastel or light shade saree on our farewell whereas I went for a red wine colour and the way I stood out omg I loved it sooo damnn much. I love how you're looking for a more traditional lehenga than those pastels and others. It's not like they look bad or anything they are really great but nothing can beat the look of a traditional red/marron wedding lehenga
I think you are going with the bright pink dress from Kalki at 9:52 hehe
Sameeee
It’s beautiful!!
It's not from kalki, it's from Khokee. Her pronunciation isn't clear but she has listed the correct name in the description.
That dress is gorgeous 😍😍😍
She said her's is red towards the end
Yas Anita Dongre!!! I have been saying she has some amazing looks😭 it looks beautiful!! The blue lehenga is amazing
9:50 That pink lehenga on you was beyond stunning! Please tell me that you bought it for your ceremony ❤
Ikr it was gorgeous!
Omg the Mangal Sutra try on made me tear up! You guys are so lovely!!
GIRL YOU JUST WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO HEHE
I WILL!
Respect to whoever made the shopping itinerary, you went to so many places. You looked stunning in so many of the lengha’s. I’m so jealous. ❤️
My jaw was dropping with everything you tried. Thank you for the insight to your experience.
Whatever you got you're going to be stunning. I know that was stressful, but seeing you two just keep at it made me smile. Enjoy the experience and love on yourself deeply. Prayers and blessings for the rest of the planning 🙏🏼🫶🏼
I really hoped you would have a south indian wedding. They wear saree on their wedding while saree is draped it looks good on every size, no hassle like lehenga fitting or not fitting and they have so many Kanjivaram silk sarees in chennai, bangalore.But these lehengas are so good you'll look so pretty. Congratulations 🙏🙏🙏
Wedding shopping can be so overwhelming! You might have an image in your head about how you want to look but you can’t find that freaking dress/colour/style and size/fit is whole another story…I went through this in 2013 and if I had option to do things differently then it would be keeping it simple and only spending on re-wearable wedding clothes since I did decided to donate my wedding clothes in India.
It is a very special day, so enjoy the process (but the day feels like a blur)…all the best!
Yellow one he tried gives a festive vibe. The pinkish lehenga at the last store you tried was beautiful…
Marwar Couture has some great dark red lehengas. Rimple and Harpreet also have very colorful lehengas.
Hello 👋🏾 the 1st one ( brown/gold) was beautiful on you❣️❣️❣️❣️ can't wait to see what you picked out
9:38 I loved khokees collection so so much 😭 I'm getting married in May and I fully know a Khokee lehenga would be out of my budget
I love the deep plum top from Pernia's pop up. It looks gorgeous and interesting from the angle it was shot.
I love how you blog this but also let the real options be a surprise ^^
You have the cutest giggles! Warms my heart to hear them❤🥰
I love to see Indian, your videos are awesome. 🤩
Everything you tried on was wonderful, but the designs are Khokee were giving fairy tale, fantasy, so incredibly beautiful. I can't wait to see what you picked ! ❤ And good to Chris for chosing so fast ! 🤭 Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you !
That black lehenga with golden work looks super amazing. That's like my dream lehenga. But for a wedding I guess you'd go for a bright colour or pasetel colours . And of course ted looks amazing on you.
The last few lehengas you tried on were absolutely beautiful..cant wait to see which ones you picked. You will be beautiful on tour special day cant wait to see❤
Idk if you plan on it but going towards punjab or delhi you might find more reds and bigger sizes that are also cheaper
Nope... All the shops she has visited are high end brands... So they won't be cheaper in Delhi either... It's a different story if you are going for knock off...!
@@Rish292 I understand but I meant more like little small business boutiques that would be cheaper
2:57 this is by far the best one
First! I soooo miss the sounds of India 😅 idk how but the red lehengas just POP on your skin
I'm so excited for you, and I'm so happy that you are taking us on this journey, im learning so much about your culture with the wedding gowns and saw so many different styles, they were so beautiful, can't wait to see which one you did decide on. Can't wait til the next video. Thank you so. And yoy know men can do thia so much faster then we do he has so much patience with you which is amazing you guys look so adorable together. So happy for you.. love ya ❤🎉
The blue Lenga is so beautiful on you!🎉🎉
@9:52 that dress is absolutely beautiful and I don't love those colors normally but the way it's styled is amazing. ❤ It was absolutely beautiful on your.
9:51 you look amazing in this lehenga! Perfectly for haldi🧡
I really like your laugh/giggle, saying in the cutest way possible. It makes me giggle with you too 😄
The mermaid style looks SO GOOD ON YOU
The intricate designs and beadwork are just so gorgeous!!!
aahhh !! honestly so many flops until that blue Anita Dongre lehenga…like my jaw dropped so gorgeous
you should check out sabyasachi
it is expensive
but there is no way that you won’t find your dream lehenga
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The blue lehenga looked so good on you too!!! It really made your beautiful body features look absolutely perfect Monica!
I would love to see avant-garde makeup looks inspired by some of the lehengas!! Especially the couture ones, the patterns seemed totally up your alley!!
Yes girl you're going to look so beautiful in a red lehenga ❤ can't wait to see the whole look.
Monica I hope you picked a Saree for the ceremony too. You would look gorgeous in traditional South Indian wear. 😊
All the lehengas looks so beautiful!!!
Girl skip the sherwani. Go for dhoti kurta for Chris. It's better!!!
Monica your hair looks so good on day 5 I love when you rock your natural curls!
Please do more long-videos on your trip to India/wedding planning 💕💕💕
6:34 the red is gorgeous!
Kalki and Nita Dongra were amazing. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Cant wait for the Delhi vlog, I can watch you guys for hours.
my opinion: ALL looked good 😂 buy them all and take home 😭😍
If you require justification, you need
Wedding outfits
Wedding guest outfits
Prayers outfits
Outfits to channel your inner Kajol in K3G at random times
😂❤
Me a Latina so fully invested in this desi adventure ❤❤❤❤
Those cobalt blues and emeralds look so incredible on you girl
The omg the first two lehengas you tried on especially the freaking brown!!! Omg Monica it looked SO AMAZING on you!
There's a designer called Sunaina Khera. She's exactly what you're looking for
Tbh to look good in heavy Indian attire u have to be in a certain weight range, and if u have heavy bust size then it’s done for you. I too struggle with the fitting of designer blouses, like come on every girl is not a model 🤷🏻♀️
Omg the Kalki lehengas beading was so freaking perfect!!
living for the india vlogs
Lovingggg the long form videos!! Thanks for sharing and congrats 🎉😁
I love watching this series!!! The dresses are absolutely outstanding ❤
Why don't u try saree's too
Nice of you to document this ❤You are going to be the prettiest bride❤is there a saree for any event? A traditional silk saree would look so good on you 😊
you look so stunning in all of them idk how ur gonna choose cause there all beautiful
I am loving these long form vlogs!! 😊
Oooh. The layered mangal sutra necklace looks amazing!!! ❤❤
I feel Hyderabad or Kolkata would have been a better fit for you style wise and colour wise. Especially Mrunalini Rao. Also at any designer store the final lehenga will always be custom made to your measurements. Lots of smaller local designers who can give you what you want specifically.
Damn Kalki showing up and showing outttt ❤ loved everything on you 🎉
a while back, i hit a point where i felt like everything was out of my control. i kept wondering why other people seemed to get what they wanted while i was stuck in the same place. then i came across this book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane. i wasn’t expecting much, but the way it explains the connection between your energy and the life you create? it blew my mind. it’s not just a book, it’s like a blueprint for turning your life around.
2:54 was so pretty on you ❤️😭
The colors and materials of the outfits are just sumptuous! You look stunning girl!
6:24 I literally gasped, it looks stunning on you
You look fabulous in orange! A magenta lengha would also look great on you ❤
There were so many great dresses to choose from. I would have been overwhelmed, and Chris was such a good sport, although he did look a bit dead inside by day 5.
i remember this one time i felt completely stuck, like no matter what i did, life just wasn’t moving forward. i tried everything-manifestation journals, vision boards, all that stuff-but it felt like i was missing something. then i stumbled across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it hit different. it wasn’t just about manifesting; it was about understanding the energy i was putting out into the world. honestly, it changed everything. if you’re feeling stuck too, you might want to check out this book.
6:23 woooww i want that one😍😍😍 And other ones toooo😢😢😢
The dark colours look stunning!
Congratulations in advance for your upcoming big dayyy ❤
Omg you look absolutely GORGEOUS ❤️❤️❤️

So excited for your big day! Thank you fot taking us along!💜
9:51 This dress was MADE for you!!!!
Absolutelyyyyy
I love the orange and red in you!!!
Girl, I am so happy for you 😄🎉
Best outfit would have been elegant sarees. You could get them tailored so it would be easy to wear and the blouses custom designed and fitted to bring out your unique beauty. Lehengas are overated imo!
I believe delhi would've been a good start 😅
Compare to gold jewelry diamond and with stones are more suitable for you. Did you got your luggage?
