Say Yes To The Dress
“Body confident”
In this episode, Fred, Ramona, Meike, and Tove help three brides who want to inspire others with their body confidence. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and a wedding dress should highlight that!
Marjolein
Marjolein may be young, but she’s also a real powerhouse. When she was 5 years old, she suffered burns over 65% of her body. An event that has left a lasting mark on Marjolein, but she doesn’t necessarily see it as something negative. Her burns have made her who she is today. They’re a part of her. Marjolein loves to inspire others by showing that you have to accept yourself just as you are. With her powerful story, Marjolein has left a lasting impression on Ramona, and Ramona is more than happy to help Marjolein find the right dress.
Marjolein is looking for a dress that allows her to embrace her burns and feel her absolute best. She’d like a dress with sleeves, but sleeves that still show a little bit of her skin. In the end, Marjolein said “YES” to a gorgeous A-line dress from the Ramona Koonings Couture collection. The sleeves make a bold statement thanks to the 3D flowers—just like this gorgeous bride!

Are you, like Marjolein, in love with this wedding dress? Then these dresses might be just the thing for you!




Rilana
This confident bride is proud of her curves—and she wants to show them off! Rilana started out as a plus-size model two years ago and has won an international modeling competition. She has made it her life’s mission to help as many people as possible develop a positive mindset. To achieve this, she’s even started her own community! The inspiration for this came from the loss of her brother, who passed away from cancer. Rilana is a beautiful example of a powerful woman—and that calls for a wedding dress to match!
That’s why she’s looking for a sexy mermaid dress with little sleeves. In the end, Rilana said “YES” to a gorgeous dress by Enzoani. Our studio customized the dress for Rilana exactly as she wanted by adding sleeves. And as you can see in the photos, this stunning woman shone in her “body-confident” wedding dress!
