She chose an unconventional gown and couldn\u2019t wait to show her loved ones. The response was unexpected, and she clapped back at the bullies.<\/p>\n<p>Camille Lescai was a bride with a mission to make a statement on her wedding day. Her ceremony took place in November 2022, and she kept her gown a secret from her guests and bridal party, only asking everyone to wear white for the auspicious occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Lescai\u2019s request made sense when the attendees saw her walking down the aisle. She donned a gloriously unique creation valued at about $4,400, perfectly fitting her personality. However, the ecstatic bride\u2019s decision wasn\u2019t welcomed by many netizens.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.amomama.com\/232175f5d1767ccb0a1b562a095b5fd8.png\" alt=\"Camille Lescai's bridal party reacts to her wedding dress reveal. | Source: Tiktok.com\/@camillelescai\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>A few days after Lescai\u2019s magical Sydney, Australia wedding, she shared a short clip of the big wedding dress reveal on TikTok. The bride had about 300 followers, which consisted of friends and family. She was shocked when she discovered her post had gone viral.<\/p>\n<p>The bride knew many people who had also chosen unconventional dresses or planned to do so would be hurt by the hateful comments, so she did something about the bullying and faced it head-on.<\/p>\n<p>Lescai\u2019s blush pink dress garnered attention but for all the wrong reasons. With millions of views and countless comments, the bride and her dream dress became the target of online ridicule and hate. She shared:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was bewildered by the comments because I simply didn\u2019t expect it to go viral. I\u2019m not an influencer, and didn\u2019t understand why so many people cared about what dress I wore or why they thought it was so controversial.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"g g-6\"><\/div>\n<p>Lescai admitted that she read through the comments where she saw how online users called her rose-colored gown \u201cugly,\u201d \u201cdated,\u201d and even \u201ctrashy.\u201d Someone told her they would not have gone through with the wedding if they were the groom.<\/p>\n<p>People also questioned why she was \u201ctrying so hard,\u201d and the rude comments appeared unending. One user wrote:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy biggest fear is being a bridesmaid and the bride [wears something] like this, watching our reaction, and I need to pretend it looks good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others compared her dress to toilet paper and said it was a \u201cbig no\u201d in their books. However, Lescai still adored her dress and did not want other people\u2019s opinions to taint her views.<\/p>\n<p>The bride had struggled with self-confidence during her teen years, but thankfully, she is in her thirties now. She was worried that the hate would affect other women who also wanted to wear a unique dress on their big day.<\/p>\n<p>The bride knew many people who had also chosen unconventional dresses or planned to do so would be hurt by the hateful comments, so she did something about the bullying and faced it head-on.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of shying away from the negative comments, Lescai posted a series of clips responding to the users who compared her dress to toilet paper, among other mean opinions.<\/p>\n<p>She began by responding to nasty comments from accounts of people with usernames hiding their real identities. She believed they only had the guts to tear her down because of the level of anonymity, so she exposed them. Lescai explained:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople might think that I should expect negative comments after posting anything online, but the flip argument [is] if you make nasty comments online, you should expect to be held to account. This was my way of taking the power back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Lescai brought the hateful comments to light and comically responded to her haters, she was also thankful for the many positive commenters and hoped her story would encourage others to be different.<\/p>\n<p>Many online community members expressed gratitude toward the brave bride. Her videos inspired them, and they were thankful she taught the bullies a lesson. Users also praised Lescai and applauded her actions:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour wedding dress is stunning!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 (Mon) December 1, 2022<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour style is AMAZING!!
