A relaxed bride has stunned internet viewers with her unconventional wedding dress choice.
Devon Coleman (@devonchubbsx), 30, a hairdresser from South Wales, has gained traction on TikTok after sharing a glimpse of her nontraditional wedding day—complete with a gray dress, bridesmaids in white, and a stress-free attitude.
In the now-viral clip, Coleman poses for photos in her gray gown alongside bridesmaids dressed in white, and they realize the “type B” bride has forgotten her bouquet for the shot. The video has racked up more than 72,300 views on TikTok.
“I have always known that I wouldn’t wear a white dress as I never wear white anyway,” Coleman told Newsweek. “Then I went to Laura Ashley in Cardiff, and that was the first dress I saw and tried on. Then I found out the name of the dress, and the dress was called Sutton, which is my little girl’s name, and I just knew that it was made for me. I felt absolutely amazing all day. I even slept in it as I didn’t want to take it off.”
Type B personalities are typically relaxed, flexible, and easygoing individuals who handle stress well and are less driven by competition compared to their Type A counterparts.
Rather than being inspired by trends or tradition, Coleman said her choices were purely based on what she liked.
She had always envisioned getting married in a barn surrounded by fields and mountains—and that vision came to life at Sugar Loaf Barn in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales. She described the venue as breathtaking, with panoramic views of the Welsh countryside and a unique feature where guests arrive on the back of a tractor.
Coleman said that both she and her partner took a very relaxed approach to planning. Despite having 10 months, the couple didn’t finalize most details until just a few weeks before the wedding. There was no seating plan or order of the day—guests were free to enjoy the event at their own pace. Instead of a formal sit-down meal, they served food from Mexican and Italian street-food trucks, creating a more casual and enjoyable experience for everyone.
The couple even invited their sheep dog to the venue, who they momentarily forgot about, and he pelted his way to the farmhouse they were staying in. Luckily, he returned to walk down the aisle just before the bride.
Coleman’s gray dress has sparked particular interest online—especially because it challenges the long-standing tradition of brides wearing white.
White wedding gowns became popular in the 19th century after Queen Victoria wore a one to marry Prince Albert in 1840. Before that, brides typically wore their best dress in any color.
TikTok users flooded the comments section with praise for Coleman’s fresh take on wedding fashion.
“This is stunning. I love a different colored dress,” wrote Kayleigh Campbell.
“Wow … you look insanely beautiful,” added another fan.
“Omg [oh my God] how utterly gorgeous and so cool,” posted one commenter.
“VERY DIFFERENT and VERY BEAUTIFUL I LOVE LOVE IT,” wrote a user named Audrey.
“When I spotted the bride it took my breath away, absolutely stunning,” shared another viewer.
