I was thinking the dark purple lehenga you tried looked so good on you, then the RED at the end made my jaw DROP!! You're right, it'll be really hard to top that one!
@@makeupbymonicaaHi Monica!! Could you please make a video or short on "the great shift"??? Would love to hear your thoughts on it as a brown beauty influencer. Thank you!
you look so gorgeous in the purple and the red lehengas! lehenga shopping is such a magical thing. indian clothing really makes you feel like a princess
Monica!!! Genuine suggestion- PLEASE do try on some handloom silk SAREES - you will have ample design & colour options & not worry about the fit because...... a saree fits your body and not the other way round .... All the best !♡
Yes! I'm not very in touch with my traditional Indian roots, but I absolutely can't wait to wear a saree for my wedding. I think it's the most elegant dress for any body type. Plus, there are so many different draping styles to play around with and find the one that works best for you. You would look absolutely regal in it Monica!
When I first came across your videos, I was literally so happy to see a brown girl advocating for more inclusivity in makeup for other brown and black girls and seeing how far you’ve come is literally so amazing. I can’t wait to see the wedding. This is so beautiful and I wish you and Chris all the best.
As a person who has lived in Bangalore their entire life it’s crazy seeing you go to all the classic shopping places that we all love.. like we all basically live in Orion mall with our friends 😂
It's a relief that you said on ig you will have more than 1 lehanga for the wedding, because Indian's bridal outfits are just too top tier to choose only one. I just 🫢 every time. ✨The details and effort✨ are on another level 😩
Omg I could listen to your mom talk forever, she has such a soothing voice. Also I loved the red and purple lehengas! They looked so pretty on your skin.
I have the same body type as yours and I’d highly suggest to ditch the two piece lehenga! I went for the one piece gown style lehenga and it totally elevated my wedding look!
I can't even describe how much I love the way Indian women dress. The colors, the sumptuousness of the materials, and the intricate jewelry - just gorgeous! ♥️♥️♥️
Its amazing to see the excitement im your mum while planning the wedding. Also let's send some appreciation to Chris for being awesome, holding your hair to showcase the jewellery is next level.
Hi Monica! You look stunning in these lehengas. Might I suggest you choose gold jewellery for your wedding, since gold is the absolute best friend of brown skin toned people, as well as it goes great with maroon/red lehenga which (I'm not sure but if we think of it as an authentic/classic Indian wedding) will go great with your wedding lehenga!! All the very best to you and Chris
Omg that purple lehenga and the red one at the end were STUNNING!! Also that teardrop necklace was absolutely gorgeous! I’m gonna be heading to India soon to do some wedding shopping as well and I’m excited to learn about some new places to check out from you!
I saw your shorts looking for your bridal lehenga and i'm so glad theres a full video! I'm not indian but I LOVE indian bridal fashion!! Absolutely beautiful!
Could you please list out the stores you went to / your mom's recs? I'm actually making the SAME trip in a few weeks (Bangalore for a cousin's wedding and I'll be doing my own wedding shopping myself during downtime! And then to Mumbai to see family and continue shopping!). I've never been to Bangalore so would love some places to check out!
Chris hyping Indian McDonalds repeatedly is just AMEN! Indian McDonalds beats everything. The chicken mcgrill is the most mouhtwatering fast food burger I have ever had.
You two should definitely go with the plum shirvani and purple lehnga for one of your events. The coulour and style suited you bothe perfectly. Congrats!!
You could keep your henna night lehnga short sleeved and slightly dark so that if you accidentally stain it, it won't show. Plus your sleeves won't distrub you
The lengas and the jewelry looks stunning on you Monica. I can't wait for your wedding day. Also you should put Chris into Bollywood music and movies girl
Honey, if you have time, do fasting because the inflammation that you seem to have from traveling will go down and it will make a world of difference in your dress size. You look better in deeper colors btw... That's what i do before major events whenever i have to wear a gown - i fast!!!!
Omg the purple one was absolutely GORGEOUS (not biased at all because purple's my favourite colour..) and we can be twinning because over the summer I got a purple lehenga too :)
Yasss Love all 😍 the red for the weddinggg. Purple for henna nighttt is a good choice since if guests hug you, the henna can touch by mistake and show up more on a light color 😊 So excitinggggggg
I loved this video Monica, so interesting seeing India and the stores were so beautiful! Cant wait to see all the final outfits❤ and pls do more long form content, I will watch it allll!!!!
OML!! I'm from Bangalore, I wish i could've met you!! That purple lehenga is just stunninnnggg! Love taking your honest make-up tips from you as a teenager...
The lastt red one looked so good on you and i agree with you for the purple one but i guess red would be great for the wedding and purple for some other function Btw loveeee your content 😭💗🫂🎀
Enjoyed the shopping vlog quite a lot❤ we will looking forward to the actual ceremonies dress shopping too❤❤❤ Loads of love and welcome to India guys❤💖
OMG! I can't help it cause i'm a camera nerd but are you using the dji osmo pocket 3?! The quality looks top tier... hope you had fun bridal shopping 💖
Asma is my favourite favourite lehenga store in Bangalore. I was so happy seeing that you went there!!! 🎉🎉 I got 2 stunning lehengas for my Best friend’s wedding under 5k each and yes the prices are amazing for the design and choices that you get. The red lehenga looks ABSOLUTELY STUNNING on you 😍 But yes, look at a looot of options and may you find the lehenga of your dreams. Bessssttt Wishes to you❤❤❤
I am so freaking happy for u literally got tears in my eyes while watching this video u guys have come so far and finally making this permanent i hope u guys be happy all ur life and enjoy every single day with each other..i am watching u for a while now and genuinely hope the best for u..love u sooo much.. go girllll !!!!!i hope u get the wedding u have been dreaming of ..the perfect man with the perfect lehanga and ofcourse the perfect makeup ❤️
Try wedding lehenga from sabyasachi , manish malhotra, tarun tahiliani , papadontpreach they are obviously on the high end but have exclusive designs, just try them once
I cant wait for the next one !!! As a long loyal subscriber seeing you shopping for your wedding makes me sooo happy!!! Hope you got your dream dress ❤
Awesome !! It’s funny watching ur videos brings me back to my wedding as I’m also an Indian married to an Irish and I bought my hubbies outfit from Maanyavaar !! 😊
I was thinking the dark purple lehenga you tried looked so good on you, then the RED at the end made my jaw DROP!! You're right, it'll be really hard to top that one!
I agree with everyone who said red just gives bride you know!!!
@@makeupbymonicaa Yes, but a deep red suits YOU so well! Also, try more purple shades, they're stunning on you ♥️
I agree this is so exciting!!!!!💕💕💕💋💋💋
@@makeupbymonicaaHi Monica!! Could you please make a video or short on "the great shift"??? Would love to hear your thoughts on it as a brown beauty influencer. Thank you!
Hey monica you should visit Delhi for lehenga shopping
8:57 Awww your mum talking about passing down jewellery to your kids and getting emotional 🥺 Such a sweet moment ❤
And then I ruined it with where’s mine 😂😂😂
you look so gorgeous in the purple and the red lehengas! lehenga shopping is such a magical thing. indian clothing really makes you feel like a princess
I AGREEE!!
Red just hits different on Indian skin. No matter what tone or undertone the person has,red just elevates Indian skin
Monica!!! Genuine suggestion- PLEASE do try on some handloom silk SAREES - you will have ample design & colour options & not worry about the fit because...... a saree fits your body and not the other way round ....
All the best !♡

Pale dresses are such an epidemic omds they terrorise me every time I go shopping, bring back vibrant fun colours!

The last one just PROVES why red will always be the superior bridal colour for desi weddings! How much in total did you spend on outfits?
I’m so incredibly happy you decided to make these long form videos of bridal shopping in India!
Its amazing to see the excitement im your mum while planning the wedding. Also let's send some appreciation to Chris for being awesome, holding your hair to showcase the jewellery is next level.
OMG!!! Chris jiju is looking so good 💖💖💖
he was so excited!😂
This is super cute! Love seeing you connect with your roots in India! :D
Thank you!! 😊
No one does colors and patterns better than India. They're so mesmerizing.
CHRIS! Rocking the traditional Indian wear 🎉🎉 I can’t wait to see both of your wedding outfits ❤❤ I hope you get your bags back 😂

Tbh you should go to Delhi for lehenga shopping (Chandni chowk you can try as well it's too crowded but yeah)
And these are way too outdated outfits
@@Tina-vt8mc fr they sell outdated clothes in higher prices whereas in delhi you could get actual good pieces for even cheaper price range
@@min.yoonji.0993 yes or many people actually dont know that near haryana there is a whole big place which is very famous for only wedding dresses

Screaming - I can’t wait to watch after work!!!!! So excited for you gurl!! 🎉🎉❤
Monica my husband is from Bangalore and we spend a couple months a year there. So nice to watch your video and daydream about our next visit
Try wedding lehenga from sabyasachi , manish malhotra, tarun tahiliani , papadontpreach they are obviously on the high end but have exclusive designs, just try them once
Kalki has some gorgeous options with unstitched blouses ❤️
The red one looks really fabulous on you
Bestie you look absolutely stunning in the purple!!!
hey a suggestion try on some fish cut lehengas for your pre wedding rituals they will look pretty cool on u
Man so many good dresses, i luv luv all colour in wedding, chris looks so regal
Really amazing designs... Fashion and Style on top combined together.
omgggg soo exiciteddd😍 can't wait for more videos❤❤❤
I loved the purple outfit on you, but I think that a brighter red ceremony outfit will look better than the burgundy.
I really love that you are being reunited with your culture and i hope this culture will stay with you 😍😍😍
im 3 mins in the vlog and UR MOM IS STUNNING 😩 She got that AURA
Love the hair style in this video and the purple lehenga
The plum and lavender outfits 😍😍😍

You look gorgeous in that purple and red lehenga like princess ✨🥰😍
Dark purple looked great! I hope you make a visit to Delhi its got so many choices! I hope you find what you are looking for
