My 18th Century Wedding | Dress Reveal & Try On |

- čas přidán 18. 04. 2024
- I designed this wedding dress after being inspired by an original gown dated to 1780. The French fashion house fashion house Atelier Saint-Honore then created it for me and did an outstanding job! It's all hand embroidered with flowers inspired by 18th century embroidery designs. Alas, the dress arrived too small and has caused much worry over the last few months. My best friend Anna surprised me by making me a stomacher to expand the dress. We are going to try it on for the first time & see if the dress can be saved!

MAJORLY IMPORTANT ADVICE…as someone who comes from a family of many photographers and wedding photographers…don’t forget to keep your bouquet VERY LOW when entering the ceremony and for your formal photos. I mean uncomfortably low! It feels natural to put that bouquet high, but all your photos and video will have your face and a big bouquet under your chin if you don’t …and no photos of that STUNNING bodice!! Girl- that’s one awesome wedding dress. Best wishes to you both!!
Yep. You basically hold it over your nether-regions. Our photographer told us the same thing. It feels unnatural while you're holding it, but looks natural in the photos.
Close to the pelvic area is best? (Even under the stomach area)
Now that you've explained it, I can picture it (in my mind) and it would look much more lovely and give the photographer more access to the detail in the dress. It would look more feminine and organic instead of holding it up under the chin/covering the breast area.. I have actually seen pictures where it's held like this and it just doesn't look comfortable or natural. It also takes away from the dress and too much focus on the boutique rather than the dress and couple itself imo.
Thank you for the lovely ideas for Justine and perhaps others who are thinking of and/or planning their wedding ideas. 😊❤
Agreed this is why all the brides in the family had cascading boutique
Agree with everyone here. At my own wedding, as I came down the aisle, it was a mantra going through my head "hold it low, hold it low" because the natural inclination is to hold it higher.
You are going to be a beautiful bride, Justine. What a gorgeous dress!
I’m 77 years old and have done quite a bit of dressmaking and hand sewing over the years - that dress is gorgeous - the hours that went into the embroidery alone are astounding - it is beautiful - how lucky you are to have a fiancé who wants to be in the 1800s with you - Congratulations to both of you.
1700's 😊
My 5th gr. Grandma Phebe dressed like this.
Just stunning!
Yes 1700's. Movie Last of the Mohicans was set in 1757. Madeline Stowe is like looking at my grandmother. Same age. Same wealth. Even look very much alike. I have a pic of her portrait. Madeline w/o makeup. It's quite astounding. Family history says a family member or family idk, but they were tomahawked by Indians. It would have been my grandmothers relations not her immediate ... as far as I know. The movie has a personal effect on me. I should mention my grandmother was French and 1757 was during the French Indian War.
@huskymom234 the 18th century was the 1700s and wedding dresses and veils
did not exist, women women wore their best clothes and bonnet
Queen Victoria introduced the wedding dress and veil in 1840
so its not an 18th century wedding dress
I also stained my veil with black tea! Take it as a good fortune symbol. I’ve been married 41 years. Best wishes to you and your best friend.
Hi
It’s like a spend the night party with your best friend and they never go home!!! Marriage is wonderful!!
❤❤❤
I’m guessing you’re very newly married? Haha just joking ❤️
What a sweet way of putting it
Have you lost your mind?
A friend that never leaves your home? I’m starting to get annoyed just thinking about that
The secret is if you dont say its wrong then noone will know thats not how its supposed to be!! It looks stunning with the stomacher!!!
Also its lovely to see a Bride solve a problem and go with the flow instead of having a complete meltdown. You worked it out and it is a perfect solution!! You seem so happy and excited about your wedding!
It is truly beautiful ! But these needles look rather freightenng, rather like nails. Of course, i am just another ignorant male...
You are the very opposite of a bridezilla. So kind and thankful. He’s a lucky man!
When it comes to a wedding dress, all that matters is that the bride feels beautiful on the big day!
I’m sure you will look beautiful. Can’t wait to see this! How fun to be included as a part of your wedding at least virtually. May it be your best day ever. Breathe and enjoy it. 🥰💕❤️
Oh my goodness. What an amazingly beautiful dress . And your hair down with the vail makes you tge most beautiful bride of 2024. So glad you invited us to share your wedding.
I just watched you try on your wedding dress, Justine....and again....absolutely stunning! That description doesn't even do it justice. It's nice to have your best friend there helping you...that makes it even more special! The 3 weeks will fly by....but it looks like you will be ready. BUT....I thought I was, and I was so nervous during the ceremony that you could see my dress actually shaking!!
We got married on October 10, 1981, and are still going strong. My prayers are for you and Ron for a long and happy married life!!!!
Oh my, yes! I remember us not being able to look at each other because we would start crying! 😊
All through the dress fittings it was perfect, Mom and I made my dress. Then on the day it was a disaster in one week I had dropped 2 dress sizes and my beautiful fitted dress was miles too big for me. We had already taken it in twice in the past month, when Mom took it in twice we left the seams intact just in case I put the weight back on before the day, that way it would still be wearable, Mom had to stitch me into my dress if it had not been for the vail everyone would have seen the back of my dress with a makeshift corset tied affect just as well I bought button thread to sew on the lace flowers on my vail. I had the flu for the past 4 weeks and there was no way I was putting off my wedding day come hell or high water 😹😹
I had a Jane Austen era looking dress. Empire waisted, tea cup sleeves, chiffon. I’d choose it again it was so elegant and feminine. It was not the style when I got married 20 years ago but I loved it and still do. It’s so fantastic you can choose a dress that fits YOU and isn’t just going along with the trends. That’s a special thing.
I got teary when you put on the veil! You have brought us into your home and heart. Blessings on your marriage. ❤❤
Right! She looks so beautiful!
The dress is stunning, the shoes and veil fabulous, and Justine looks absolutely beautiful in her dress.
LOL, Princess Diana's and Catherine Princess if Wales dresses weren't NEARLY as anticipated as Justine's. YOU LOOK WONDERFUL. ! BEST TO YOU AND RON ( and Mish Mish)....❤❤ ❤
Keep mish mish away from the dress or he will be mish mash from then on.
Justine, thank you for showing us your dress, what a beautiful bride you will be! It was very interesting seeing the process and what a wonderful friend you have in Anna. It all brought a tear to my eye, so excited for you and Ron!
Your wedding is guaranteed to be one most “historical” celebration! Great job and you look fabulous!!!
Sweet comment. 🕊
Whether in the 1700's or 2024, you are a beautiful bride! May every happiness be yours.
Well, there's always a half-full glass somewhere if you just look for it. 20 years from now you can show the dress to your daughter(s) and they'll marvel at how small you were! Very nice - lucky Ron! What a great and talented friend you have in Anna.
The flower detailing on the shoes & dress is absolutely stunning! ❤
It’s so nice to see something different than the usual wedding gown! It’s a beautiful representation of what you love combined with beauty and grace. ❤
That dress is leaps & bounds more gorgeous than any wedding dress today. And the veil & shoes too, so beautiful. Congrats!
OMG Justine!! your dress is beautiful but because you are naturally beautiful too, you and your dress make an excellent pair!!! That veil with the natural flower's tiara is the icing of the cake!! Cheers to your besti Ana who came to the rescue 😃!! Thank you so much for sharing with us this so important chapter in your life. Have your long path with Ron many blessings and happiness!! 🥰❤
Next weekend!!! You’re getting married the same day I’m graduating from college!!! That’s crazy!!
Your dress is so beautiful! I love the flower embroidery and then the real flower crown! The veil is gorgeous! 👰🏼♀️ Also your hair is so beautiful down!!!!! I love how thick and dark it is! 💗💗💗
In a single word: Beautiful.
At its very definition.
"You are not to see that boy again" 😂 caught that reference, had me chuckling.
Wow what a beautiful bride you’re going to be on May 11th. The dress fits beautifully with the stomacher your friend made for you. I can’t wait to see your wedding photos. Thanks so much for letting us all be part of your day❤️❤️❤️
Just a suggestion : Put hooks & eyes on the top of the stomacher so that you can use the “hook & eye” part to correspond to the match on the bodice to close the top part. Put the stomacher in behind the lacing and behind the two sides of the bodice and then hook in at the top. It’ll save time getting in and out of the dress, while also preventing being stuck by pins, having multiple layers pinned together so you can. Tuck your fichu down where you like it.
I’ve got to say that this is one of the most *gorgeous* wedding dresses I’ve seen in a long time. Especially for a 18th century recreation! Have a lovely wedding and an even better marriage. ❤
Hi
You look breathtakingly stunning!! Modern dresses pale in comparison to this. Praying that your wedding day, and more importantly your marriage, are filled with blessings and happiness. Thanks for all you do!!
Can’t wait to see Ron’s face when he sees how elegant you will look
Stunning!!!! Thanks for sharing. You may consider making postcard picture of you both on your wedding for purchase. I would love one!
That's a very good idea!!! ❤
Hi
Hi
You have that happy glow that comes with true happiness, Justine the jellybean. There have not been many times that I have not seen you happy and smiling. Being a sewist myself I understand what went into sewing your lovely gown. Good luck on your wedding day. I have been married 53 years to the best husband in the world. You are headed for a lifetime of joy and adventure. God Bless you both. Deborah, Virginia, USA
SHOES! ❤❤ Absolutely Stunning! Congratulations to your fiancé, he hit the jackpot! 😉🥰
You are absolutely radiant in that gorgeous dress! May you and Ron enjoy a wonderful life of love and happiness!🙏🏻💕
All brides are beautiful, but I think you are outshining everyone else. That dress is just stunning on you.
I probably looked my best on my wedding day but, I definitely was not beautiful. I've never been pretty or even mildly attractive. Fortunately for me, my husband's love was blind.
Hi
Hi
I agree. The most beautiful bride's dress I've ever seen.
Oh my goodness that is definitely one of the most beautiful wedding dresses I have ever seen, that beautiful pale blush like color with the embroidered flowers is unbelievably beautiful
Early American couture💚💚
And that colour definitely compliments you beautifully🌺
Peace💚🌎🌺
White White ... does not. need to be stained
So very beautiful ... the dress and you in it !!
Came here looking for this comment! Looks so delicate as it is 😮❤❤❤ So excited for them 🎉
The fichu is so delicate it is sheer. The embroidery on top is beautiful. Lovely as it is.
White white is gorgeous against the dress. So excited for you 💓
My prayers that your dress would fit and you and Ron have a happy life and the wedding of your dreams,would come true ! You are and your dress make the prettiest bride I've ever seen! You both have given me so much happiness and peace with your videos I will continue to keep you in my prayer,May God bless you both with a joyous wedding and a blessed life together! As I know he will! Yours truly sincerely Lori ❤
Looks beautiful white, but I’m thinking that it might be nice to pick up one of the colors of the beautiful embroidery. That way you would give lovely color to
your face.
Thank you for letting us be a part of this beautiful moment. You look so beautiful!! I wish you both many many years of wedded bliss! God Bless you both!
Hi
Hi
The fabric of your dress is absolutely gorgeous! American Duches has a book of 18th century hairstyles with instructions on how to do them, if you need inspiration.
Those shoes are the most beautiful things I've ever seen!!
Yes !! I love the shoes!!
Hi
OMG...what a stunning dress. I think the fishue looks better white. You look absolutely beautiful wearing it.
Thank you for showing us this BEAUTIFUL dress ! You will be a stunning early American Bride. Blessings to both of you!
Hi
Hey
Yes keep that piece white! You look amazing Justine and I’m looking forward to seeing your big day! ✨
This is going to be such a treat to see! It's absolutely crazy to me that the big day is just three weeks away! Can't wait! 😃
You look like a princess. I teared up a little. Glad you have a friend like Anna.
You look absolutely lovely, Justine! Thanks for saving the day, Anna.
That is a stunning dress! Isn't it great to have creative friends?! Great job to Anna. You will be a beautiful bride, Justine 🙂
I like the slight contrast of the white, I’d leave it!
Those shoes are stunning and the dress is gorgeous! This is such an awesome channel!
The entire video was perfect, and the way she's smiling in that dress. It's beautiful too. That lady's dress was pretty as well.
Such a beautiful dress. Enjoy your day and the very best to you and your sweetie. BTW, I just love how your friend looks at you. I'm an old lady now, but I remember being with my friends when they tried on their wedding gowns... it was always moving. I felt honored to share those times with the women I loved. Congrats!
Very lovely, period appropriate wedding attire. It's better than any modern day wedding gown.
Justine , you look absolutely beautiful, It made me cry, your gown is gorgeous, I know Ron will be one proud groom on your wedding day.
Gorgeous! And your friend is a miracle worker with a great idea!. Now you can relax and enjoy the process to your marriage even more.
The dress is absolutely beautiful, the embroidery is gorgeous. Your friend is lovely. You are so blessed! Enjoy your wedding~
What can I say the dress is divine ! Well worth all the tiny troubles and nervousness. You look exquisite. Your wedding day should be a day of excitement,joy,and dreams.✨✨💫 You are Ron's star that fell from the heavens and he your completed happiness. I remember my first husband was an amazement to me. I had a few I dated before him but he was exciting and I was in awe. We were both pleased with one another and so very happy,the smiles just went on and on. Just nothing in this world like it. Hard to describe and definitely something you want to go on and on. May God grant you both many happy days and nights together.♥️🙏🙏🙏
So, why aren't you still married to your 1st husband? And, what happened with the 2nd husband?
You are a stunning bride! It's a shame the custom gown is too small; the only reason I can think of is the measurements were taken without the stays. Anna, your quick thinking saved the day!
Love the Titanic reference you made when you were getting laced up 😂
I love watching you and Ron. I learn so much from you. Thank you.
You look like a fairy tale princess! Your dress and matching shoes are absolutely beautiful. You look radiant, Justine. Thank you, so much for sharing this special video with us.
Ron will be amazed when he see you on your wedding dress on May 11th. Congratulations and may God bless both of you, all the days of your life.
Some people cry at weddings, my wife got misty and almost cried when she saw how beautiful you are in your fabulous wedding dress.
We can't wait to see pictures from the wedding. God bless y'all.
everyone need an Anna in their life! That dress is beautiful and you look lovely in it.
Hi
Don’t let Ron peek! You and your friend are beautiful inside and out. You are blessed ❤
Congratulations on your dress.....it is perfect and beautiful! You look so pretty! I am so very happy for you and Ron. I cannot believe your wedding is just around the corner. My husband and I have been together since our high school years and we are still going strong 38 years later. I know you and Ron are going to have a great marriage and long life together as you are a wonderful couple. Many blessings to you and yours. Thank you for sharing 😊
Ty for the sneak peek at your wedding dress!❤
So gorgeous!😊❤
Oh Justine.
You are lovely!
What a beautiful ensemble.
Cheers to your Bestie for saving the day with that insert.
You look stunning in your dress. God bless you and Ron as you enter into your new life!
Oh my goodness. Justine, you look soooo beautiful. You def. make the gown. Those shoes! Sooooo pretty.
I'm glad you found a solution to the too tight dress! Now you can rest easy. Congratulations 🎉❤
My grandmother, Mattie was born in 1900. Her mother, Rachel, became a widow in 1901 and she raised Mattie and her two brothers, Alvin and Benjamin with her sewing skills. Grandma said that her blouse was straight pinned to her skirt. Mattie passed in 1997. I miss her everyday.
Wow Justine, it is the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen and I've seen many being a florist. You look so beautiful. What a blessed wedding you will have.
This feels like going to a friend’s wedding dress fitting🥰. Thank you for sharing. I hope you and Ron enjoy your special day!❤️
You look beautiful. Ron won't be able to believe his eyes.
the white bijou....please stain it as you did your veil. The white is liable to stand out in the photos. And what a beautiful gown!!! Blessings on your new marriage...the family you're beginning together! Thank you for sharing with us!

That's a brilliant way of putting it...it's both the finish & the starting line.
LOVE your wedding outfit. Thank you for sharing with us.
Beautiful! Leave the veil as is, the color is amazing & goes with your dress so perfectly!
Incredible! The number of pieces of garment they wore. It's a special dress but anyway. I saw you dressing for a normal day and it was also an endless row of things you put on. What a life! Thanks so much for this interesting, informative, funny show of real life.
