"I think there are so many pressures when you're getting married to have the perfect dress. Like, you're supposed to put on that dress and you cry and everyone in the room knows it's the one and you have the special feeling," she said. "And that isn't really true."
"I know so many people who have that emotional experience and then aren't happy with the dress they got married in because it looks like just like everyone else's or they weren't really confident," she went on to say.
Lily believes focusing less on the dress as a whole would help many brides.
"Of course you should feel the most beautiful that you've ever felt on your wedding day, but that's not why you're there," she said, adding that brides should ignore trends or the pressure of other people as much as they can.
"Get married in what you want to get married in. It doesn't matter what it feels like, what it looks like, any of that," she said. "Ultimately, I think that's going to make a much better story."
