When it comes to a wedding, white dress seems to go deeply in everyone’s mind. But have you ever heard of a bride going for a colorful dress instead of the traditional white dress? It may seem unconventional, but it’s important to remember that the bride always has the option of donning whatever she likes to wear for her wedding.
Recently, one woman named Camille Lescai decided to go for a pink dress for her wedding.
But she never expected that she would receive a lot of mean comments from a lot of people on the internet. Then again, she didn’t let those negative words ruin her great day.
In November 2022, Camille Lescai took to TikTok to share a video of her doing a reveal of her wedding dress which she kept a secret from her relatives and friends until her wedding day.
After the women in her life saw her pink wedding dress, their jaws instantly dropped. They also appeared to be excited for her. For Lescai, she knew it was “worth the wait.”
Lescai chose a pink dress for her wedding and she said the color is part of her personality.
When finding on Instagram a pink dress which was made by an Australian designer, she immediately fell in love with it. So, she bought a customized version worth $4,400.
Lescai still stood out on her wedding day as all the ladies wore white dresses while the gentlemen wore black suits.
“The whole wedding wore white! I didn’t tell anyone why, they figured it out when I appeared at the top of the aisle,” she said.
“I’m not a particularly traditional person, so while I understand why people want to go for a more traditional wedding look, I don’t think I would have felt like myself wearing anything else,” she told Insider.
“I subverted the norm by asking the rest of the bridal party and my guests to wear white and my wedding day was phenomenal — I had the best day and loved my dress,” she added.

Lescai was praised for pulling off a unique concept by some people who said the dress “looked beautiful.” Meanwhile, a lot of women also came to her defense.
“Don’t listen to these haters. They just can’t stand the uniqueness. You looked absolutely amazing,” one person wrote.
“The negative comments are sending me … you look stunning. Everyone has their own vision for their own wedding,” another person said.
Lescai shared that she felt bothered knowing there was a possibility that the negative comments could create hate for other women who wish to pursue having a unique wedding dress like hers in the future.
“It’s not just attacking me, but all the people who are watching from the sidelines. A lot of young women who commented on my video told me that when they get married they want a dress like mine, and I couldn’t help but think of what reading the comments would make them feel,” she said.
But Lescai didn’t hold back after someone called her dress “old fashioned toilet roll covers.” So, she did another video to address it.
