Bride stuns husband and wedding guests with her unexpected and jaw-dropping reception outfit

The wedding day is when two souls promise to love and cherish each other on their new life journey. However, it may be an unspoken truth that a wedding is the bride's day; her day to shine like a star. Every bride has different preferences. Some like their wedding minimalistic with small celebrations while others want it to be a bash. Fashion and travel content creator, Meredith Anderson—who goes by @meredithlynneanderson on TikTok—had one such exuberant wedding reception and her outfit was surely the highlight of it. She shared a video flaunting her iconic reception outfit and it garnered over five million views in a couple of weeks.

In the viral video, Anderson can be seen making a stylish entry into the reception hall. While most people would have expected her to have switched to a little white dress, Anderson had an epic idea—a white jumpsuit so chic that it may as well be red carpet worthy. The fitted jumpsuit was adorned with sparkling strings of beads and rhinestones making it fashionable enough to be a show-stopper. Anderson did justice to the swagger outfit with her sassy attitude on entering the hall. Her husband had his jaw dropped to the floor and the guests couldn't help but cheer vivaciously as the bride walked in. "POV: Your husband thinks it's a little white dress time," the text overlay read. 

It wasn't just the groom and the wedding guests who were impressed by the bride's bold reception outfit. Hundreds on the internet were blown away by this one-of-a-kind ensemble. "I literally thought you were Lainey Wilson walking onto stage for a show. That confidence, that suit, that strut!" lauded @tequilasunrise96. "It’s incredible! Rhinestone cowgirl dreams!" exclaimed @kittkat626. "The body is bodying! Absolutely iconic behavior," chimed in @ulmergerd. "You look gorgeous! I hope you told your photographers about this moment so they were ready and prepared to get the groom's reaction!" added @emilysdreaming.

Little did Anderson expect that her outfit, from a design studio she found on Instagram, would receive so much adoration from the internet. "I just loved the idea of wearing something totally out of the box and fun. When else can you wear something so eccentric other than your wedding day?" the new bride told Newsweek. Speaking of her husband's reaction, Anderson shared, "He's always so supportive when it comes to my fashion choices, so I knew for sure that he would appreciate it." She added, "My wedding was truly the best day of my life. I spent so much time planning all the details and I think that really paid off." Anderson hopes to donate her jumpsuit, which she considers a work of art, to a museum if possible.

Speaking of jaw-dropping wedding outfits, one bride chose to alter her mom's 40-year-old wedding dress for her reception and the mother's reaction said it all. Fashion and travel influencer Kelsie Anne, who goes by @kelsieanne_ on TikTok, shared a video of her mom's reaction to the surprise reception dress. The bride shortened the 40-year-old wedding dress to a little above knee length and thoughtfully retained the bow that originally adorned the dress. The mom was brimming with joy and couldn't help but admire what her daughter had done with her legacy. "My heart is bursting. She was so happy. It was so special," the bride mentioned.
